Valentine's Day at Our House
What could be a better Valentine breakfast then pink milk and mini brownies with pink icing? ...With a little breakfast burrito thrown in for nutrition!
All the kiddos had to wear red of course!
And do I have the nicest neighbor and friend ever...
Look what she brought me. :) It was so beautiful and fresh before it got a little bit of frost bite in the fridge. Thanks Debbie! :)

It's A Book - By Lane Smith
Cutest book ever. I want to get it. And how did I not know about it? I love Lane Smith. Kids think his books are the funniest thing ever. The Happy Hocky Family = Hilarious.

Just Another Morning
I can not imagine not being a mom and not having kids. They crack me up on a minute by minute basis. Sometimes the hilarity of them strikes me more then other times. This morning was one of those times.
It is early morning and the blinds are still drawn so it is dark in the house. And we are all excited because it is really chilly for the first time this fall. Parker is dressed but his hair is sticking out every which way but sideways because we haven't combed it yet, and Carson has just snuck downstairs from his pallet next to our bed, which is where he sleeps now every night, and his hair is even worse.
They are on each side of me resting their elbows on my shoulders as I am trying to type early dismissals for school really quick. I need to pick Demi and Parker up early today because of an orthodontist appt.
I am typing hurriedly or we will be late for school since they have already missed the bus and then I have to stop typing because they are cracking me up. Carson is making this weird squeaking sound, telling me over and over again, “Look mom it makes a funny noise when I bite my cheek!" And Parker has been studying my paycheck that is laying on my desk to deposit and all of the sudden breaks out in, “Mom are you going to use this on your wants or your needs?" Lol. How did I get such polar opposites in personalities? As a mom I think it couldn't be better because I have all of the comedic bases covered.
After I laugh at them for a good 60 seconds I make them go away and tell them that they are distracting me. Carson goes to the couch and starts playing his PSP (which is really a red Duplo block that he carries with him ALL of the time) while telling me that he downloaded a shooting game and that it is rated T for Teen - I guess it is his way of rebelling since he knows we are not allowed to play a game like that. And Parker walks back to the pantry to get his toothbrush and toothpaste out for the 10th time this morning complaining, yet again, that he has to wait until AFTER he eats his toaster strudel to brush his teeth because toothpaste and cinnamon don't mix.
And the whole time this has been going on Demi is still only half way through putting her daily hoards of Zanybandz on both arms.
I love my little moppets.

Happy 12th Birthday Demi!
Last night we took Demi out for her 12th birthday with Robert's family. 12th birthday!? What!? She is getting so old. She is a total tween now and loves all things girly. We went to one of our favorite mexican restaurants, El Palenque. And then of course we had to do the sombrero/singing/whipped cream in her face extravaganza! That is totally Demi and she loved it. She was just disappointed that so little whipped cream was actually smashed in her face. Lol.
Demi has a birthday trifecta workin' -- last night was dinner, today is grilled hotdogs with all the fixin's & a red velvet cake w/ chocolate filling & frosting (her choices) with Mallory & Ryan, and next weekend is her Twilight inspired slumber party. Aaaaa... It's good to be twelve.

Parker & Snorkeling
It is no secret that Parker is and has always been obsessed with ocean life. But now he is specifically obsessed with scuba diving. We finally had to find him a little snorkeling set. He was a little disappointed that the snorkel didn't have a purge (a valve on a snorkel that releases water) and he was alot disappointed that he couldn't actually scuba dive with a tank. And not a regular tank, but a rebreather specifically. Lol.The minute he got his snorkeling set he put it on and wore it around the house for 3 days straight.
(In the picture above he combines his other obsession of being a solider. Snorkeling, backpack and a gun = Navy SEAL. Lol.)
We finally made it to the weekend and a day of swimming at our friends house. Thank goodness for Adrienne and Travis' pool! And thank goodness for Parker's new best friend Travis, who happens to be a fellow scuba diver. Parker told me the other morning that he really wants Travis to go on vacation with us next time so they can go snorkeling together. :) Sorry Ade. I guess you aren't invited. :)
