Super Bowl

For most of the US, Super Bowl Sunday is a HUGE night. It is full of friends, food, and football. Even though I really am not a football fan of any sort, this game is always on in our house. Tonight we (Ok the guys) watched the game along with eating good food at Mother and Daddy's. I usually don't even know who is playing. This year however I did know that the Giants where and I hoped they would win. Know why?!?! One of the players went to my high school. Michael Boley, #59 for the Giants started out at Elkmont. Who would have thought that some kid from our small high school in Alabama would end up playing for the NFL let along getting to play in the Super Bowl. In the last few weeks I have thought about all of the boys in my 4th grade over the years who say they want to play in the NFL when they grow up and how they could be just like him one day. In our local paper he is quoted saying to kids,“If you have a dream, shoot for it. Don’t let anything tear you away from it.”

Congratulations Giants and Michael Boley!!!

Worth Watching

I love Hallmark movies and this one is wonderful. A Smile As Big As the Moon. It is based on a true story of class of special needs students who went to Space Camp in 1989. It is amazing. It was also filmed in Hunstville.

It's A Party

Tonight this sweet one hosted a Valentine Party for her Grammie, Aunt Kitty, and Langdon.

She worked really hard to make the decorations.

She prepared the food and tasted everything to make sure it was delicious.

Dining room set for Valentine's. (The cute sign a free print from Pinterest in a Dollar Tree frame that I spray painted. The pink tree is from Hobby Lobby 80% off after Christmas with heart ornaments.)

The table was set for supper.

Each adult guest got a vintage inspired towel. The little ones got goodies too.

Katie Lee worked really hard setting the table including the place cards that she made.

These two sweet boys enjoyed the party even if they were too young to eat the food. :)

Katie Lee finished the night by inviting herself to spend the night with Aunt Kitty.

We'll Take IT

So, Mr. Groundhog saw his shadow this morning. 6 more weeks of winter. If our winter continues like the 60+ degree weather this winter is bringing, we will be happy to keep it around for 6 more weeks. If not, then winter can go away. I love these spring like days.

Katie Lee is loving getting to play outside.


We made a "road" on the back porch for her to ride her bike.
Seeing this picture makes me think of all my big plans for the back yard. I love our big back porch, patio, and yard, but it needs lots of help to become the pretty inviting space that I want it to become. Lots of work for this spring and summer.

Happiness

Usually Daniel wakes up around 10 in the morning for a bottle. I get him ready for the day then. This is such a happy time for him. He has slept for the last 12 hours except for eating around 6:30, dry diaper and clean clothes. LIFE IS GOOD.

2 months

Daniel turned 2 months on Sunday. It is amazing how fast time is flying. He is eating four ounces every four hours and sleeping all night. He smiles often and has laughed out loud a time or two. He loves to goo and try to talk. He likes to watch Katie Lee play and loves his swing. Bath time is great as long as the water is a perfect temperature. In the last few days he has been out to eat several times and went to Target. He has also stayed with Grammie and Poppie several times and stayed with "Aunt" Stephanie and "Uncle" Scott for a couple hours. Sunday night was his first time to "play" with Langdon in his playroom.

Today, I took him for his 2 month check up. He passed with flying colors.

length--24 1/4 inches--98%

weight--11.9 lbs---30%

head--95%

His breathing is still not good, so Dr. Dudley is sending him to another doctor next week for another opinion and to make sure nothing is being missed.

Something You Wore
Last Friday, Katie Lee was so excited that the Fresh Beat Band was having a special show as the Wizard of Oz. She talked about it all week. She wanted us to rush home from Preschool because it came on at 12. Well, the cable guide had the channel wrong so she missed the first 30 minutes of it but you don't have to tell her. She watched about 15 minutes and she was happy. Anyway, she felt the need to dress the part.

First Day to Church

Yesterday was Daniel's first day to go to church. He was really good and slept most of the time. We were glad to be able to go altogether as a family. Katie Lee was super excited and sent several people over to see him after church. She also wanted to hold him which she hasn't wanted to do 5 times since he has been born but she was proud to have him with her.

Photo Challenge #7

Today's photo challenge is favorite.

#1 Favorite TV show--First of all, there is really not much on TV and what is on is not good quality. My new favorite is The Big Bang Theory. It may not be the best for KL but it is HILARIOUS and it comes on after her bed time on TBS. :)
#2 Favorite Internet past time---PINTEREST. If you have not tried this, well don't. It is addictive!!! I have found the best ideas from cooking to parties to holidays to teaching ideas. Katie Lee even asked for a board to pin her favorite things.

#3 Favorite Make Up Product. This is the best eye make-up remover. I use it daily because mascara is one make-up item that I never go without. This is great at taking it off.

#4 Favorite drink--Sweet Tea from Chick-Fil-A. Enough said.
