snow

we got about a foot or so of snow yesterday and last night. it better melt before friday!!

guess who can sit up by herself!!!

She figured it out! I knew she could, b/c she would sit up in my lap and hold herself with just a hand on my leg for reassurance. i put her on the floor and just let her go. she lasted about 3 seconds then she rolled over haha! so i tried again, this time i held on to her foot and and gave her some encouragement and she did it! oh man she is so cute!!!

the family at the circus!

now these are much better pix. the lights were still on haha! notice the happy baby...didn't last long! lil man got a cool hat with his cotton candy. he also got a stein that looks like a white tiger and he got a battery-operated toy that spins and lights up and he got a huge box of popcorn haha! that's all he kept asking for was 'ah-corn.' what a cutie. as much as a pain sadie was, lil kenny's joy more than made up for it! he was happy and that makes me happy!

the circus was in town!

due to the fact it was dark and my cameras all suck, these pix look terrible and i'm sorry. but if u look closely u can make out a few things lol. u can see the elephants, the high wire ppl and some clowns haha! i stopped trying to take pix. sadie wasn't cooperating and i was frustrated that they all came out dark rrgghh! enjoy what u can! fyi: this was the ringling brothers barnum and baileys circus. and all frustration aaside, it was spectacular! they had little mini dashunds doing tricks. they were lil k's favorite part. he kept shouting 'wook at the puppies!' hehe! i personally loved the elephants. they are so majestic and graceful for such huge animals! they did the typical elephant tricks but i loved to watch them anyways lol. the white tigers were beautiful, too. if only i could keep one and cuddle with it. they looked so soft and lovable. they had girls climbing the ropes and swinging on the rings and doing their tricks and spins. we're definitely going to see them again and again! but from now on, i will NOT bring any babies!!! she was up past her bedtime and crying, couldnt sleep b/c it was so loud. i tried to hook her up to me but she couldnt relax enough to stop fussing. it was awful. she was too little to enjoy any of it anyways. at least my son had a great time and daddy did too!

birthday pix!!

here's the party pix. enjoy!!

lil k's 3rd bday! (before)

today is my son's 3rd birthday! woohoo!! i'll try to take some pics of the wrapped presents before he tears into them and the plates and hats and streamers before we get them up. daddy has school for a few hours today, so i'm going to make my kid take a nap (or at least gate him in his room) so we can decorate for him when daddys gets home. and on his way home, he's stopping off at carvel's to pick up the ice cream cake we had designed for him. its a 3D race car cake (not a flat cake) that looks like lightning mcqueen! i cant wait to see it! i will show u all before we dig into it haha! i got the lil guy a quee (pronouced 'key'. that's what he calls mcqueen) candle for his cake, u can see the quee pinata that he WILL NOT TOUCH!! u should have seen the spongebob pinata he got last year after he got ahold of it. poor spongebob lost his arms and feet, his eyes and all his yellow paper. *sigh* it was not pretty. we had to put him down. so this year that kid is NOT touching quee. we will hang him in his room. up high.
i must say i do think it's amazing that when most kids grow out of their phases of favorites, my kid still loves 'cars.' he will watch that movie over and over and over again. he quotes it. he sings the songs. he even acts out the parts of the movie with his quee and mack and chick hicks and the king. do u think he's been overexposed to 'cars?' he has his 'cars' tv, blankets, toys, table and chairs, more chairs, cups, plates, dinnerware, clothes, jammies. he uses them, plays with them, HAS to have mack to sleep at night, runs around in his quee slippers. i think its good he has one thing he loves so much. i think he might even find comfort in it. im ok with that. now if he STILL has quee when he is 16, then i might get worried! haha! but for now, my son has his one thing that he loves and needs. im happy he's got that attachment.
i'll post pics of the party and the cake and his presents after we celebrate!
