David's 1st Birthday!









Well, like everything else by the time you get to the third kid nothing is a big production. We did cake (not even ice cream) two days before his birthday while my mom was here. She gave him a little power wheels 4-wheeler and a cute little outfit. We also let him open his gift from aunt Heidi, it was a cute little boat that makes sounds and sings songs. Since Jason is still in finals we have to wake up early each morning to do things before he leaves to study. That's why the girls are still in their pj's. On the morning of his Birthday everyone came into mine and Jason's bed and David kept crawling over the top of us saying, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle". He moves his little fingers around while saying this. It cracks me up how fast they learn little things like this. Tanni asked me, "If David turned one why does he still look like a baby?" As if some magical transformation should have taken place during the night and turned him into a big boy. When we asked David if he was ready to open him presents. Mishayla said, "No, I open Beaubee's presents. They my presents." She doesn't understand why Tanni and David have had recently had birthdays and she hasn't. At this point we let him (the girls) open the presents from us. We gave him the CAT dump truck, blocks, and a book. He was very excited about his new toys. Almost as excited as he was about the pink baby doll lotion bottle that he's holding in the top picture that he wouldn't put down all morning.
He is such a cute little baby. I shouldn't say little because that word has never fit this boy. Born at 9 lbs 8 oz my biggest baby by a pound and a half he doubled his birth weight much sooner than either of my girls did. He has been such a good baby with such a fun personality. He makes me smile everyday and I love to rock him to sleep at night it's truly my daily therapy. I love you, David!

Dance Recital









Tanni had her final recital with Miss. Tracee. She really loves her so much and will really miss her along with her friends that will be moving away. She had such a good time having all of friends there. Tanni was so much fun to watch. I can't believe how much she's growing up, I got a little teary eyed watching her dance. She acts so old when she dances the way she focuses in on things. Isn't it funny the small things that bring you joy when you have kids.

Tired Mommy + Quiet Kids = Trouble







My sweet husband agreed to watch the kids while I took a nap. I woke up and saw something on my rug, but being too groggy at the time I just blew it off. Then Tanni came up to me with her hair all up in clips asking if I liked her new hair do. "Oh yes, Britannia it is just beautiful!" I respond. I thank Jason for watching the kids and he tells me they were no problem at all. Tanni and Shayla were quiet and good the whole time. Then I go over to the dinning room table to finish up a sewing project. Can you guess what I found next? Yep, you got it! My sewing scissors and HAIR? I freaked, "Girls get over here now, who's hair is this?" Shayla comes first and there's a few weird pieces, but not enough to equal the amount of hair on the table. Then I remember Tanni's beautiful hair do. I go to her and start taking out the clips. She burst into tears and hid under the table. She had taken all that time to hide the hair cut with her clips. I felt so bad that she was so scared. What can you do? I just started laughing and grabbed my camera. (My sister gave me a haircut when I was little and I would give anything to have pictures of it. My mom had my hair cut into a mullet!) Thank goodness for good friends that you can call anytime of day. I called up Ashley and she let me come right over. She did such a great job with what I brought her. Thank you so much Ashley! ;) We still don't know what really happened. At first Tanni told us she cut it because it was sticky. Then she told us Mishayla cut it. Who knows? Thanks again for the nap honey, it was really nice! I have to admit this could have happened on my clock. I let the girls have scissors anytime because they have been so responsible in the past. Not anymore, never trust a child, they just aren't developmentally capable to be responsible. I love them anyway and besides everybody needs a hair cut story right?!
