Bless Our Boys...

I think it is finally starting to sink in that The Saints are Superbowl Champs. I am so thrilled and excited for them. I hate being so far away from all of the excitement. This is my favorite picture from it all! So Sweet. Who Dat?!

Snow Day...

I can't believe we finally got snow. They have predicted it a few times recently and we have gotten nothing, so I just knew it wasn't going to snow on Friday. Brandon, on the other hand, believed it so before Jack went to bed he got him all excited about the snow when he woke up in the morning. When I went in to get him that morning, he said "mommy, you ready to see the snow". I hated to tell him that there was no snow.

We got dressed and headed off to school. He forgot about the snow for the ride because he was getting excited about his Valentime's(as Jack would say) Party. I dropped him off and headed out to do errands. My Mom had called from Louisiana and said it was snowing there and we still had nothing. Well that didn't last long. About 45 minutes after I dropped Jack off the snow really started coming down.

They canceled school, so I headed back across town to get Jack. He was so excited when I got there to get him. The teachers said that he had not left the window and kept asking to build a snowman. We got home and he lasted 5 minutes before we had to bundle up and get out in the snow.

We played in it for a while and then headed in for a nap. Brandon came home from work early and was here when Jack got up. They headed out to play around in it and build a snowman. (I'll post pics soon). All in all it was a great day and we were so excited for the snow. I'm not a cold weather person, so I believe that if it is going to be so cold there needs to be snow!

Looks like we may get some more snow tonight, so we will probably be home from school tomorrow.

Is this a dream...

This has been such an exciting year for The Saints and us Louisiana folks. I have grown up watching and cheering for the Saints even though they were not that good or exciting. Well, this year has been much different. A phenominal season, #1 in the NFC, NFC Champs, and now The Superbowl!! We are so excited for The Saints!!!!!
Mom, Sena, and I were in New Orleans for the jewelry show for the last playoff game so we decided to stay over and watch the game in the middle of all the madness(and this is and understatement). It is a memory I will never forget!(The pics are not very good because they are from my phone)

Mr. Personality

I hate to post without pictures, but this warranted a post with no pictures. Yesterday Jack was full of precious comments and I just had to share them with family and friends. I love his little personality so much and love how much he is talking but at times I get sad because he is growing up so fast. I'm going to blink and he is going to be married with kids of his own.

Jack is a routine child, as most of you know. Everyday when I pick him up from school, he has to get his backpack(on his own) to get his lunch box out(on his own) and then get his milk out of his lunchbox(on his own) before we can leave the parking lot. Once he does that I always ask how was school today and he tells me all about it on the 10 minute ride home. Well yesterday he was not happy with the way the getting the milk process was going and was very frustrated. Once we got the milk I just drove quietly out of the parking lot to cool off and didn't ask my routine question "How was school today?". He said, "Momma, ask me how school was today"? I asked and he started rambling off everything that he had done as if he had rehearsed it. I couldn't help but laugh!

When he woke up from his nap early, I told him that I had some work to do, but would turn on the tv in the playroom and he could play and watch cartoons. He didn't want to watch tv in the playroom, he wanted to watch it in his room, where there is no tv. He looks at me and says, "you go to the store, buy me a tv, bring it home, and then I watch it in my room". I laughed so hard and then called my Mom and she did the same thing...and then told me that I was in trouble. I would have to agree. A 2 1/2 year old should not know that I can go to the store and buy a tv for his room.

This morning when he was waiting (very impatiently) for me to cook our breakfast, he was not being the most well behaved. I kept telling him No to things that he wanted to do, like sit on the counter and climb on the stool. He looked at me and said, "Mommy, when I get bigger like you and you get little like me, I tell you NO like you tell me". Really....I guess I say No alot around here these days.

I hope these brighten your day as they have mine.

Have a great day!
