Kissed?!?

My sweet little 4 year old informed me last night that she was kissed by someone in her class. KISSED?!? So I was desperately trying not to laugh (and of course Jesse wasn’t there to hear it first hand), and I asked her who it was. So she got all shy and said ‘Avery’ – and right now I’m not sure which one that is, so I will definitely have to find out. I asked her what he did and she said ‘like this’ and she kissed me on the cheek (much to my relief). I asked if she’d told anybody, and she said she told Ms. Leah – and proceeded to tell me that ‘kids aren’t supposed to kiss other kids’. So I asked what she did – and her response was ‘I didn’t kiss him back’ – PHEW! I waited until she went back to her bedroom and I called Jesse (took me a couple of minutes to tell him because I was laughing so hard). Of course he didn’t like it too much. :-)
On a different note, I finished ‘Twilight’ last night. I stayed up until 11:30 because I absolutely had to finish it. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to get into a book and want to finish it – but I tell ya, this one has me hooked. After some coaxing from Mariam, I bought the book Saturday – and stayed up until 1:30 Sunday morning reading. I did not want to put it down! So I’m going today to buy the 2nd book in the ‘saga’. I am very anxious about the DVD release this weekend – I’ve already told Jesse I’ll be buying the movie.

Caleigh Turns 4!

Caleigh’s birthday was yesterday (March 9th), but we had her party Saturday (March 7th). We could not have asked for the weather to be any better than it was – it was absolutely beautiful! Which was great so we were able to spend most of the time outside. The kids enjoyed jumping on Caleigh’s new trampoline (and so did I!). Then yesterday I took the day off work to spend with Caleigh. It was just me and her – Jesse had to work and Abbey went to daycare. The weather was still wonderful, and it was a really good day. We played outside, picked up Jesse for lunch, went to McDonald's (she actually wanted Pepper's, but we didn't have time to do that if Jesse was going with us), took Jesse back to work, and went to town for a while. Then we had to get ice cream of course! I can’t believe she’s 4!! Last night I fixed her some chocolate milk in a sippy cup. She took a swig and said, ‘oh wait, I forgot, I don’t need to drink out of a sippy cup anymore’ – so I asked ‘so you think that since you are 4 you don’t have to drink out of a sippy cup?’ – her response was ‘well, yeah’. Like, ‘duh mom’…. Here are some pics from the party.

Beautiful Weekend!

We had such a good weekend – the weather was perfect! Jesse had gone to Jackson to work at the Dixie National Friday and Saturday, so me and the girls loaded up and headed down there Saturday morning. Jesse’s cousin Dan and his wife Shealyn and there 2 kids live in Brandon & there little girl Reagan was having her 2nd birthday party – so we went there while Jesse was working. Caleigh had a great time jumping on the trampoline (so of course now she wants one), and we ended up spending the night there. Jesse actually got off early – so it worked out pretty good. We hung out Sunday morning, went to lunch – and got home much later than we had planned, but it was worth it to get to enjoy the beautiful weather and spend time with family. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we have weather like this the weekend of Caleigh’s party. On her 2nd birthday it was absolutely perfect weather (much like it was this weekend), and last year it snowed. So there is no telling what the weather will do – I’m just going to hope for the best.

9 Months old already?!

I can't believe that Abbey is already 9 months old! The time is flying by so fast. This is actually the dress that Caleigh wore when she was 9 months.

My Silly Caleigh

Caleigh loves to paint - especially if I leave my paints out. You can't really tell it from the pictures, but that's what she was doing here. She gets so matter-of-fact and tells me exactly what colors she wants and what she's going to make. She usually just makes a big ol' mess, but it's so fun to watch her.

Here are some more pics that I couldn't load the other day....

Happy New Year!

It seems like Monday comes around all too quickly. And why does it seem that everything that can go wrong always goes wrong on Mondays? Not too sound like I'm complaining - I'm so blessed and thankful to have started another week off with my family safe and healthy - and not too mention a job to go to. Things haven't been too exciting lately. My mom, Caleigh, and I went to Tupelo Saturday. I think Caleigh enjoyed being able to go because for the first time in a long time she didn't throw a screaming fit. She got quite delirious, which provided some good entertainment for us. Abbey has had a yucky cough. Jesse took her to the doctor this morning, but all we can do it keep giving her breathing treatments. At least it's nothing like bronchitis or something like that. Oh, and I had a dr. appointment this morning, or so I thought. I got up there and was called to the desk and was told that they had rescheduled my appointment, that Dr. Wood wasn't there today. So I asked - wasn't someone going to let me know?? So after I took the time off work today, I have to take more time off tomorrow to go to my 'rescheduled' appointment. On a positive note, it is a beautiful day outstide. Here are some pics I took recently.
For some reason I'm having 'technical difficulties' getting the other ones to post. I'll get some more posted later.
