Thanksgiving Pictures

Hi Everyone! Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving in Oxford with mom and dad.



Jason and Mia goofing around.



Zoey intently watching 'Enchanted'. It's her favorite movie!



Ethan sliding down the hill on cardboard. He's got his helmet on because he was riding his scooter and just took a break to do this.



Stephen and Kim.



Here's the Nana!



Mia jamming to the iPod.



Jason cheezing for the camera.



Me



Bryan and Zoey.



Billy and Casey.

For some reason, there's not a single picture of my dad. We'll get him next time.

More updates to come soon! I'm getting better at updating it was only 5 weeks between updates this time!

Finally a few more pictures

Very little content. Just the pictures. Sorry for the slowness. Life stays at a run around here. Enjoy!!!



Just hanging out on the rhino.



Zoey with her standard CHEESE smile.







These were taken at the Pumpkin Patch.




Mia got a big girl haircut.



Halloween cuties!


Zoey the rockstar.



And finally, Ethan learned to ride his bike today. It took
him all of about 10 minutes to be riding on his own.

At long last...

...here are some new pictures. I promise to do a better job of updating in the future.


Ethan showing us how cool he is after eating lunch outside.


Zoey sitting on a climbing thing at Chuck E Cheese during Ethan's Birthday Party.


Me explaining to Mia that she couldn't have all of the prizes at the prize counter.


Ethan at Preschool graduation. Kindergarten for him this Fall.


Zoey hoping we won't notice her touching the ice cream maker so she can keep doing it.


Mia playing in the water.


Zoey showing that she's a big girl and can eat with a fork.


All the kids watching TV with daddy.


Zoey giving Mia a hug.

Hope you enjoyed these. More to come soon!

Nothing exciting going on

Nothing much exciting going on. Here's our kids and the Watson kids hanging out on the couch. They all play pretty nicely together except for Ethan and Mia fighting over who gets to play with 'Big Zoe'.





Here's Zoey mad at me for telling her she couldn't do something. There's no telling what she wanted. She's a huge Faker and can produce tears on the spot.













And this is a picture from Talladega of our 2 favorite NASCAR drivers.

I'll update more early next week with some better pictures of the kids. For those interested (family members who want to get him something), there is a link on the right side of the blog of some ideas of things to get Ethan for his birthday.

You can ignore the Mother's Day link, that is for Jason...

Mia's discovery

SCISSORS!!!!!! Can you believe what she did to her hair?!?!?


Hopefully, this will be the only time it happens.

Here are a few other pictures. Ethan at the Preschool Spring Concert.


Here's Mia.


Here's Zoey having her pre-Breakfast snack. Things sure change from baby #1 to baby #3. I wouldn't have let Ethan eat anything that even thought about touching the floor.

Easter Weekend

Hi Everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting but it stays pretty busy around here for some reason and there were a lot of pictures to go through.

Not much writing this week just wanted to share some pictures. Here's everyone dying Easter Eggs. This was the first year we've done it. Ethan and Mia were fascinated by the eggs changing colors.


This is the loot that the Easter Bunny Left at our house. Mia got a full chest of dress up stuff. Ethan got three cool dress up costumes and Zoey got a little purse that sings. They also each got a new stuffed animal. Mia's bunny immediately became 'Fluffy'. Ethan's dog is 'Grady' and we have yet to name Zoey's purple zebra. We're leaning towards Fruit Stripe because it looks just like the zebra from the old Fruit Stripe gum commercials.

A princess...


...and a pirate.

Zoey wasn't sure what was going on.


Mia carried her new pet 'Fluffy' around all day (and every day since Easter).


There was some kind of battle between Ethan and Zoey. It looks like he's about to stab her with a sword...


and then she goes and gets the gun.




We hunted for Easter Eggs. It was a beautiful day for it!




Jason and Bryan got a ton of work done on the fort we're building for the kids. Here's all of them Sunday afternoon at quitting time.


Have a great weekend! More next week.

Plans Postponed

Well, the weather turned out to be so bad that we didn't make it to Nana and Papa's house this past weekend. Instead we're going tomorrow. We stayed around here and tried our best to stay warm. The high on Saturday was around 40.

This is Mia's favorite thing to wear these days. Most mornings, she just gets up and puts it on. There's usually a purse, glove, bracelets and 'dancing shoes' to go with it.


On Sunday, we braved Chuck E. Cheese. We got there around 11 and the crowd was not bad yet. Ethan ran around trying to see how many different games he could play. He didn't even want to get in the crawling tube thing on the ceiling like he normally does. It was all about the video games this time.

I tried my hand (or foot actually) at the soccer ball game.

I'm not sure if you can tell or not but that is my shoe in the game beside the soccer ball. Mental note, never try to kick a soccer ball with Birkenstock's on.

Zoey had a great time. She loved the music and every chance she got she headed toward the stage. This stopped as soon as she saw the giant dancing Chuck E. Cheese. She did an immediate U-Turn and stayed away from the stage for a while.


After an exciting hour plus at Chuck E. Cheese, we went out to lunch. Once we got home me and all 3 kids had a 2 hour nap. It was Heaven!
