Pillow Talk

The other night I was putting Deanna down for the night and this is the conversation we had. It was too cute not to post.

Deanna: Mama I get married?

Christy: One day you'll marry your prince.

Deanna: But Daddy's my prince. I marry Daddy.

Christy: Sweetie, Daddy is Mommy's prince. See the sparkly ring Daddy gave Mommy. This means we are married.

Deanna: I want a sparkly ring....(tries to take mine off my finger).

Christy: One day your prince will buy you a sparkly ring sweetie.

She seemed pretty satistfied with this response and rolled over and closed her eyes.

Happy Valentine's Day

Deanna's school had their annual Bike-A-Thon and Valentine's Day party last Friday. The kids brought their bikes to school and rode in the parking lot the entire morning. Deanna was really excited to take her princess bike to school with her helmet (surprisingly, she loves wearing her helmet). She has become quite the pro at manuevering her tricycle. When she first got it for Christmas it frustrated her a little bit because every time she pedaled backwards, she would stop, but she has since figured it out. After their Bike-A-Thon, all the kids came inside for their Valentine's Day Party. The kids ate pizza with their Valentine crowns. Once they were done eating, they all exchanged their Valentine's. Deanna had so much fun at school yesterday, she is still talking about it.

27 Weeks Pregnant

So there it is, the belly shot! Many of you have been asking and asking and there it is at 27 weeks. I am still feeling well and mobile. I am feeling Braden move all the time now, especially when I am trying to get comfortable at night in bed. Go Figure! No, I am not really craving anything strange, although I have been eating a lot of Tomato Soup. So far, the pregnancy is going really well and everything is healthy and progressing as it should. I will continue to keep you posted.

Our Little Soccer Player

We took Deanna to the park last weekend to enjoy the beautiful weather. We brought her little soccer ball with us and after we ate lunch, she began kicking and dribbling the ball like a pro. We watched her and simultaneously asked each other, "Did you teach her how to play?" I guess she is a natural. We can't wait for next season because she will be old enough to enroll in team sports.

Must Love Dogs!

The annual dog parade was today and we took Deanna to join in the festivities. She loves dogs and animals, so this is a big treat for her. Not to mention that they throw out beads. At the end of the parade, she scored tons of beads and candy...Every little girl's dream...A guess that would also be every father's nightmare too... The white dog in the wagon looks just like Rocky!

New IPOD Commercial

It is no secret that Deanna loves music and loves to dance. Today, Jamie handed her the IPod and she put in her back pocket was dancing all over the kitchen.

Deanna's First Hair Cut

Deanna's first hair cut was a little overdue, mainly because I was worried that if we cut her hair we would be cutting off her curls and they wouldn't come back. I finally gave in because her hair was getting way too long. We took Deanna to the lady that cuts Jamie's hair and Deanna was such a trooper. At first, she did not want to get her hair cut because she thought she was going to get a hair cut "like daddy". After we reassured her that she would be getting a princess hair cut, she went along with putting on the cape. Her hair looks great now, it is still past her shoulders, but has a lot more body to it now and is easier to manage. She still has some wave to it and I am crossing my fingers for the curls.
