My SMART little girl

While I was doing Dantzel's hair this morning this is what she was telling me. Isn't she cute! I can't believe how smart these little kids are. She amazes me.

I know she had to of practiced this in her preschool class last year. Thanks goes to Mrs. Christy for being such a GREAT teacher to Dantzel as well. We miss you!!! ♥

DANTZEL-I can't believe my little girl is 4. She is so big. She goes to preschool everyday. She is such a big helper and I love that she is such a good big sister. She loves to dance with her Daddy. She loves to sing songs and, lately she makes up her own words which is really fun and cute. She is a Daddy's girl. I LOVE HER TO PIECES!!!

(first day of preschool in the elementary school)

DUNCAN-My sweet little man. He is such a good baby. He is also a good eater, sleeper and poop-er. He is the funnest little guy to kiss. The part that is fun is he likes it. Most babies only let you slide 1 or 2 kisses in. Duncan will let you kiss him until you are blue in the face. I'm grateful he decided to join our family. What a blessing to have a little one around again. WE LOVE YOU DUNCAN!

(so sweet)

DINKY-Yes, I know it is silly to write about our dog but, I really am grateful for him. He is the best friend a kid could have. He isn't judgemental. He is a great listener. Doesn't talk back. He love attention from the kids even if they are playing ruff. He has been a good dog for our family.

(yes, these are Dantzel's glasses)

DADDY-I know I just wrote about Brandon. He is a GREAT dad to our kids. It always makes me happy when they hear the garage door open. That means Dad is home. They all go running to give him a hug. I think this is what being a Dad is all about. I think it makes it a lot easier for him to leave knowing the kids will be waiting for him to return home. I also have a good Dad who loves and cares about me. Thanks to all the Dad's I have had out their. I say it that way cause there has been many who have been good examples to me.

DRESS-UPS-Right now Dantzel and James LOVE playing in the dress-ups. Even James puts on his dress. Yes, it is one of Dantzels old ones. When they play it is fun cause we get to call James "James-ina" he doesn't really like it. He is such a good sport cause he just laughs it off and continues to play with his sister.(playing dress ups)

CHOCOLATE-"I'd give up chocolate but I'm no quitter!" This saying in more like me than ever these days. You see, I was never really a chocolate lover until I had Dantzel. Ever since then with each kid I have it get worse. I LOVE chocolate now!

(makes me want some)

CHILDREN-I love being a Mom to my 3 cute kids. They are always so entertaining. I don't know what I would do without them.

(oh how cute)

CARTOONS-Yes, my kids watch cartoons in the morning. They love it and I like it cause it gives me a little time to get ready myself.

CELL PHONE-My cell phone is always (ok, most of the time) right by me. I love the color of it (red/burgundy). I also love that it is like having a mini PC. Blackberry's are the bomb!

CAMERA-I think I use my camera every single day! I currently have on my wish list to get a better camera. As for now, my camera works great.(this is my dream camera)

CRAFTS-LOVE EM'. I just wish I had more time to do them. I also wish that my kids wouldn't get into them when I pull them out. Someday I will be able to have everything out and leave it out.

COMPUTER-I use my computer everyday. I think I am addicted! I like to check the blog updates and my Face Book account. Not into all the games on their but, everyone thinks I am. One day maybe they will get the hint that I always ignore their farm town gifts etc... :)

BRANDON-Yes, this is my favorite "B" word. I am so grateful I ran into, met and married this guy. We have made some great memories together. I plan on making many more. Some of my favorite things to do with Brandon are (just naming a few):
Going to the Lake-I would love on the water if I could. It is always fun pulling him behind the boat on his wake-board.
Camping-It is getting harder to pick up and go but when we do we always have a lot of fun.
Cooking-Brandon is a great cook! I always like to assist him in the kitchen. I guess it can go either way that's why it is so fun to cook with him. :)

(this was Brandon in his cooking class)

BLOG-I do love to blog! I think it is because it is a way of scrap-booking. Not really the kind I really enjoy but, this will have to do while the kids are so young. I HATE it when they get into my scrapbook stuff. One day I will print this blog and it will turn into the kids scrapbooks. I might have to add my own little touch when they all get printed.

BABIES-Since I have had little Duncan around, it is hard to not like having a sweet little spirit around. He has been the BEST baby. It seems like they get better and better with each kid I have. I don't know if I want to push my luck many more times. We will see.

(cute baby Duncan)

BLANKET-So far all of my kids have been blanket babies. I think it is the satin. Dantzel and James still have their favorite blankets!

BINKY-In other words LIFESAVER! All three have liked/loved Binky's. I LOVE it because it is a plug when we are in public. I hate having a loud baby (crying) when you are in the store, church etc...

(James and his binky. This was one of his last pictures with this plug. He bit a hole in it and had to throw it away. That was the end to his binky sucking)

BBQ'ing-Brandon can cook up some mean BBQ meals. I think I like it because the heat is outside and most of the clean up work (in the kitchen) can be done while he is getting dinner on.

APPLES-They are so yummy! I really like the crunch in them. I also really enjoy a dried apple. Add a few nuts and you have yourself a great snack!

(this is from a previous post, just thought it fit with my apple comment)

ANIMALS-I really love them. We have a dog and it is a lot of fun. My kids play with him more then I realize. One of the hardest things for me is to say no to someone when they are trying to get rid of an animal. I'm always glad when I say no cause what it comes down to is...I HATE bringing on another project. Let face it, keeping up with a pet is almost as hard as adding another member of the family. :)

AFTERNOON NAPS-Yes, they start right at about 12:15-12:30 pm at our house. Sundays are an exception. For the most part the kids will sleep for about 2 hours. I love it when the house is quiet. I also love knowing that they are still home with me. Dantzel doesn't always take a nap so it is our time together.

ACCESSORIES-I will soon be able to wear my bracelets, watch and such. See, when you have a little baby around it is hard to keep it outta everything. I hate it when my jewelry scratches my kids.

ATTITUDE-I know from experience, my attitude sets the tone for the rest of the family. If I'm having a bad day...it seems like my kids and husband are having a even worse day. The kids will fight like crazy and so on. Now, if I'm in a good mood then you just watch us all be happy and having a great day!

{something new}

I'm going to try something new. I really want to keep up on my blog and, well lately it has been a little hard for me. With Dantzel just starting up preschool again, I am going to use the alphabet in my life to try and keep up with her. I am going to use a different letter each day and say a little about what I am thankful for or just thinking about that day with that letter. Hope this makes since. We will see how it goes.
