Somebody got their FIRST TOOTH!!!

Spending time with my Chloee makes me realize how very lucky I am.......Today while sharing a baby mum mum together, I noticed her first tooth had cut through!!!  Our big girl!!!   Santa must have brought Chloee her first tooth for Christmas...almost 8 months old!!! 

A few hours later, adding to the excitment of the day......we watched Ms . Chloee stand all on her own with a little help from a foot stool!!!  She is growing up so fast!!!!  We love them all so much!!!

Christmas 2010 with 3 kids!

How very blessed we are to be surrounded by so much family at Christmas time!!!  Chase, Jett and Chloee have truly allowed us to live through their eyes with the excitement of Christmas time!!!  It was so very exciting to watch Chase this year, he was soooooo excited about every moment of the holiday.  This was the first year that he really "got" the whole Santa thing and what was happening!!!  Christmas morning in our house was completely craziness....and I LOVED every minute.....watching 3 kids opening all their gifts and the excitement in their eyes...well that was gift enough for me!!  We also tried to teach Chase however, how very lucky he is and that there are kids out there that are not so lucky, and so we bought some toys to give away to those kids.  He understood and I think he was very excited about the thought of giving a present to another child.  Jett loved every second as well, he did not understand the whole concept but man he was so sweet and happy throughout the whole craziness.  Chloee, well she was just her sweet self and posed ever so perfect for all the pictures that her crazy mom took of all three kids.  Wishing everyone a wonderful 2011....looking forward to sharing more stories this coming year!

When I grow up!!!

Just a short cute story to share today.  Earlier in the day as sitting here reading a book, Chase says to me...."Mommy, when I grow up I want to be a Teacher.  A Teacher like Sherry from Jett's school....remember her?  She was my very best teacher I ever had!!!! 

Sooooo freekin cute!!! 

Getting Ready for Christmas 2010...with three kids!!! :)

What a very exciting time of year it is, I am sooooo blessed to have such a wonderful family to share this time of year with.  How much fun this time of year is especially with 3 beautiful children.  Getting ready for the big day involves many preparations........

The beginning of December we decided it was time to put up the Christmas tree, so much fun this year as Chase is now old enough to really enjoy the process and help Mommy with every decoration....on the other hand, it is a great joke to watch Jett decorate and continue to decorate the tree to this day, I am finding little race cars in the tree......in the perfect little spot right at Jett's height!  How sweet he is.  The decorations are put on the tree and taken off the tree daily by Jett.  Needless to say the tree has taken somewhat of a beating this year.  Never had a tree like it in my house and I wouldn't trade it for the world. 

Another fun activity this year....getting the faithful Christmas Card picture........OMG it has been fun over the years getting all the kids to co-operate, which really hasn't happen thus far, which makes the cards that much more special!!!

Looking at those sweet little faces...well I'd say we have the best Christmas Card in the world this year!!!! 

I am like a child myself this year getting ready for Christmas, I cannot wait to see their faces on the big morning!!!  Their happiness.....is my gift!!!! 

Enjoy getting ready for the holidays everyone...it truly is a special time of year!!

Chase and the Dentist

Well another proud moment to reveal.  Chaseman had his first dentist appointment today at the tender age of 4.  He was amazing!!!  Such a big boy now.....he simply amazes me every single day.  I am so very proud to call him my son.  After an awesome experience at the dentist, Chase was told he had NO cavities and had wonderful teeth that were coming in perfectly!!!  All your hard work of brushing everyday is paying off big fella!!!  xo

HAIR LIKE NO OTHER.....

Wanted to share with everyone how sweet our little Chloee's hair is at 6 months old.  So very sweet and growing fast and furious!!!  I wanted a little girl to be able to style her hair with Bret's, hairbands and bows......well I think my wish came true!!!!
