C's actual birthday

I can't believe that I never blogged about C's actual birthday. Oh I'm so far behind. But here goes.

Of course for breakfast, he picked DD. Yummo. Lunch was Arby's. (Daddy has a cool picture of the French Fries from Arby's on his phone. Ahem.) Dinner was O'Charley's.

He got a Santa cookie again this year. Those things are so yummy! I'm glad he likes them too.

My mom got him this really cool NFL sticker book. It collects stickers that look like trading cards. He and my mom have traded stickers and bought about 16 packs between them.

This was the one thing he really really wanted this year. Madden 2011 for the PlayStation. I think it ended up being his favorite present for Christmas or birthday.

I can't believe my bubby is 8!

C's basketball

C is playing UpWard Basketball this year. He has never played basketball before so it is definitely a learning curve. But I can see improvement. In him and his whole team. It's fun to watch. They have won 3 and lost 2. I think he has made 1 point.


Their jerseys are reversible. Kinda nifty idea.


Two action shots for ya. I think this was his one point.

He does this well during the game.

This was a good shot of the team. Only problem, one kid messed up the line. Oh wait. That's my kid.

So True

Here is a conversation that I had with K girl at C's basketball practice the other night.

Me: Did you know you are pretty?
Her: Yes.
Me: How?
Her: You've telled me 101 times.

Me: Did you know I'm proud of you?
Her: Yes.
Me: How?
Her: You've telled me 101 times.

Me: Did you know you are my favorite girl?
Her: Yes.
Me: How?
Her: You've telled me 101 times.

Me: Did you know you are special?
Her: Yes.
Me: How?
Her: Because God made me and He loves me very much!

Oh that girl! She can be so smart!

FL Christmas 2010

Everyone at dinner. And a yummy dinner it was.

Grandma being a good sport.

Dad got mom a really pretty ring. She was very surprised.

I really wanted this present that Unca got! It's a flag for your mail box. But it's an FSU spear. How cool is that. I actually had it in my stuff and someone told and he took it back.

Unca and S got us all picture books. They were sneaky about it. They emailed Sissy and I asked for pictures. Little did we know we were getting one too. Funny side note: when they were handing them out Unca said "open your books now" Duh. We haven't opened them yet.

He was so proud of that bag cuz it lit up and played music and annoyed the rest of us.

C had been wanting this book for a very long time. It is kinda a cool book.

Go Noles! My kids got "uniforms" 2 years ago. Now it's EJ's turn.

Sissy got K some makeup. So we all got makeovers later. We were very shiny.

Sissy got C some Lego candy. He still has some left!

Unca got K a princess pool. Will be a little while til she uses it (as I type it is 8 degrees out. It was -2 this morning)

Grandma and Papa got each of the grandkids a recordable book. It's a poes about Christmas and they each got to read/record the pages. So the kids will always have a rememberance of their grandparents. What a neat keep sake!

Isn't that the awesomest snuggie?

This was a tree across from my brother's house. Cool looking huh?
