A little daily jibber- jabber...

Nathan: Gracie, all you ever think about is Barbies! You know you're not supposed to put anything infront of God. God should always be infront. But, you have your Barbies infront of Him....

He must have had a lesson in church about putting God first in your life! She however, was completely confused!

And here is a little jibber- jabber from Eli.... who's his favorite person? Hold on, he'll tell you...

Rockin' and Rollin'

I know it's been a VERY long time... sorry. Here's a quick update:

• Bryant: Went out and bought himself (ok, the family) a brand new 52" TV about a week before the Superbowl... only to lose all power about an hour into the game and it didn't return until long after the game was over. Ha! (I find it comical) Most recently he had Valentine's Day off from work, only to be stuck in the house with a sweet little 3 year old Valentine with the "tummy bug".

• Me: cook, clean, change diapers... this is my life. But, I will share a yummy recipe with you. I've made this twice so far and both times it is a winner: Italian Meatball Sandwich Casserole

• Nathan: Had a note sent home from school last week, his first (and better be last)... and no this is not a good behavior note. Apparently that day my child decided to talk and make "inappropriate loud noises". I believe that he knew he was gonna be in trouble when he walked very slowly to the house instead of running like usual from the bus stop after school. He did apologize the next morning to his teacher... good child. On another note he is growing so much! All of his size 5 pants are getting too short... I got him a pair of size 6 and they are great in the length but super big in the waist even with the adjustable waist tightened all the way.

• Gracie: Asked me today as I was cutting an apple for her if she could marry Elias when she got older. All that girl thinks about is getting married, having a baby and cooking. She may look like her daddy but she is a minnie ME!

• Elijah: Has 2 teeth fully through on the bottom and 2 more coming in on the top. He has just started clapping, rocking back and forth (while seated), and sleeping on his tummy. He is also fascinated with shadows! He was on an only fruit and veggie diet (and nursing too), but recently we have started introducing the "dinners" baby food to him... so meat and a little bit of grains here and there. The grains are the issue with him... but my goal is to very soon (hopefully) break out the Magic Bullet and feed him our food instead of buying baby food.

Do You Want to Play Barbies With Me?

That is the most asked question in our house. And this evening, here was the dialogue between Ariel and Ken.... Gracie played the role of Ariel and Bryant played Ken.

Ariel: Boyfriend, do you want to go to church with me?
(I'm thinking, ahhh that's such a great question!)
Ken: Sure, what do we do at church?
Ariel: Kiss real quick and get a baby.
(WHAT?!)


The story is always the same.... if you're playing Barbies with Gracie you will either take a trip to the grocery store, the beach or to church (to get married). And on a real lucky day you get to do all three!
