We're on our way....

Addi is well on her way to being potty trained. An I could not be happier! We have a few accidents here an there but she is doing really well an we have only been working on it for about a couple of weeks. Now Landon he has no desire what so ever. An I am alittle bummed but I know it will come. Everybody says it takes boys alittle longer so I am hoping the saying is true.

So wish us luck while we tackle this lovely obsticle of toddler hood!!!!!!!

Texas vs. Alabama

Tonite is a big night in our house the BCS National Championship. Joel has been waiting days. Thank goodness he had to go to work today, or he would be going stir crazy here. He has the kids saying "Bama stinks". The Longhorns are a big favorite in this house. So tonite the kids will be in there Longhorn shirts rooting on their favorite team. It should be a great game! We def. have some true Longhorn fans in this house.

HOOK'EM HORNS!!!!!!!!

Addi or Tinkerbell????

My daughter we believe thinks she is really Tinkerbell. She got 4 sets of Tinkerbell Pjs, two Tinkerbell blankets a Tinkerbell doll. An many more things. An everytime she sees Tinkerbell she says MEEEEEEE. It is so darn cute. An the other day I was looking for decorations for their party an Tinkerbell stuff came on an she yells OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH THATS MEEEEEEE.... Me an Joel just started laughing.
An this has all started since she was Tinkerbell for Halloween (which she was the cutest Tinkerbell I have ever seen). Just thought I would share it is to cute not to.

The New Year

As the new year has started I am going to try an get better about blogging. I know I know I keep saying that but I am really going to try. I had a little accident with my camera so I am going to work on trying to get that fixed. I figured just writing wasn't good enough. But I am going to do it anyways! The kids had a wonderful white Christmas. We are truly blessed with a wonderful family that loves us very much. With that said I am a little happy that the holidays are over. A little stressful to say the least.
With the new year we have had some changes my sis, brother in-law an as Addi calls her baby Avery have moved to North Carolina actually just got there yesterday. I am very sad about this but I know that everything will be ok. We have skype wish I need to kiss the inventor of cause without that I would be a true mess. I wish them all the best of luck in the world. An hopefully it wont be to long before I can see them. I now know I have a place to stay to go to the beach haha!
If Christmas wasnt enough I now have a birthday party to plan. I can not believe my babies will be 3 on the 23rd. It blows my mind even though sometimes they act older than 3. So needless to say I will be getting ready for that in the next couple weeks.
I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year!

Introducing Miss Avery Claire

Last Thursday I became a aunt!!!!!! To a very cute 9lbs 20in little bundle of joy! Its crazy to think I am an aunt, but I am loving every minute of it. Its hard to believe my baby sis is a mom. She is doing wonderfully, but I didnt doubt she would be. As soon as I got to hold Avery it was a very bitter sweet moment for me, I honestly dont remember everything bout the day the kids were born, heck I dont remember the first month or so. It was such a crazy time. So getting to hold a baby right after they were born was a new expierence for me. So of course I cried. An everybody asked when you going to have another? That seemed to be the question of the day. Somedays I want another or maybe two(cause that could happen again)an somedays I will pass on having anymore. But right now I will just spoil the two I have an spoil my new niece. Cause after feeding her the other day only one feeding seem to wear me out.
This past Tuesday the kids finally got to meet their cousin Avery. They were both really excited to see her. They couldnt go to the hospital we could have sneaked them but I just thought it would be better an wait til they got home to go see her. I would show Addi pics an she would say "my baby" it was the cutest thing ever. So Tuesday we headed over an when we got there the kids were excited to see their Uncle T an aunt Corrye very much it had been awhile since they had seen them. Then they see Cor holding a baby an were like who is this an became very shy. It was kinda funny. Landon quickly moved on to play with Uncle T. An Addi was still being very shy. She soon sort of warmed up to her. Then she would kiss the baby it was so cute. I held her an they didnt mind to much, which is what I was afraid of.
They are glad to have a new cousin to play with!

We love you Avery Claire!!

Air Planes an Helicopters

Two weekends ago we decided to take the kids to the air show in Ft. Worth, everytime the commercial came on tv they both were glued to the tv watching. Saying I wanna go see airplanes. So since it was out by Pawpaw Gigs house we asked if they wanted to join us. An since Pawpaw Gig works on airplanes we thought it was pretty appropriate! lol... Well Joel ended up having to work so it was just me an Pawpaw Gig going to the air show. So we picked up him up an off we went they were so excited. Then we get there an have to stand in a ridiculous line to get in that went this way then this way. The kids were not thrilled to say the least.
An they start the show an airplanes are flying an you couldn't see anything in line because of the trees. Again they were not impressed, to say the least! Once we got in the were excited going from this one to this one. Then seeing some in the air. It was really cool. I had never been to an air show before. The coolest part for me an Addi thought so to was the pink helicopter! Everything was good til the loud airplanes started flying of course my son was not so thrilled! So he an Pawpaw had to go towards the gate when that started. Addi just wanted me to cover her ears an then she was fine. So after walking around for awhile they were getting a bit restless an we were getting pooped as well. An Pawpaw knew the Blue Angels would be loud so we headed back to the car to watch from the car so it wouldnt be so loud for Landon. The Blue Angels were really neat. It took them awhile to get started but once they did it was really neat.




We had a gret time! Thanks Pawpaw Gig for going with us.
They are already talking bout going back.

Circus.....

A couple weeks ago we decided to take the kids to the Shriner Circus again this year. We went last year an they enjoyed it. This year was a bit different, to say the least! This year it was only me an Paula(Nana), Joel was working an so was Pawpaw Carlos. So we get there a little before it starts. As soon as it starts they start playing music an talking. Landon starts to cry I am like okay maybe its just the music is to loud for him. So they start bringing out animals an such an he is still sort of crying an holding on to my neck for dear life. So he doesnt stop crying so Paula decides to take him down stairs an go buy a light up thing they are selling maybe that would help. Addi loved watching everything an the music. Anything with music or dancing she loves. So me an her stayed up an watched the circus while Landon walked around downstairs for a bit.
They have an intermission where they bring out the elephants an ponies an another animal but I cant think what it was to ride. An we figured we would be at the ponies again this year like last but this year they wanted to ride the elephants an of course they cant ride them by themselves. I was brave enough to volunteer twice! Boy was that fun. Due to having to ride an everything I didnt take any pics. But Addi was very upset when the elephants had to go backstage. We tried to again to watch at our seats, but the noise bothered Landon again so they headed back down stairs. It wasnt long before Addi was done to. But all an all it was alot of fun for them. They love animals so anytime they can see them we try an do it!
