Fly me to the Moon

I'm sure I've mentioned before that Joey is pretty adamant about becoming a pilot. Today we had to go to the local airport (which if you browse through our history on 4/1/2010 you'll hear about how President Obama landed there). Joey was really excited to meet some pilots and look at their planes and helicopters. Keith is really getting the bug to learn how to fly as well.

Let's Get Together

When Keith and I just had Joey I would often wonder what my child would look like if I had a daughter.

Have you met my daughter?

Have you met my son?

These two look so similar to each other (in a good way). I have three sisters and I don't think we look very similar to each other at all. I've been told that we do resemble each other, but I personally can't see it. I am absolutely amazed at how much my kids actually look like siblings.







The picture of just Joey is kind of hilarious. Clarissa accidentally licked Joey. (I know . . . weird, an accidental lick?) He sort of lost it and was convinced he was going to turn into a girl.

The dinosaur Clarissa is holding was Keith's when he was younger. She absolutely loves it.

For what it's worth

Alright, alright. We all knew it was a fat chance that I would actually COMPLETE the 50 day picture challenge. Actually, it's kind of weird I haven't even posted more pictures since Keith got me a new camera for Christmas. (I might be in love with my camera )

Anyway . . . nothing too interesting has been happening. As you all know, our house is a running remodeling project. After Christmas, Keith and I decided to finally tile the entry way. We ended up deciding on a slate tile (which kind of stinks because we currently have about 1,200 square feet of ceramic tile in our upstairs closet). For some weird reason we ended up going down the kitchen sink isle and their kitchen cabinets were 75% off! So, I now have new cabinets and still no tile. It looks like our kitchen project got moved up ahead of schedule. :)

Anyway, enjoy some of the pictures I've taken with my new camera. Check out all of that blond on my little girl. I promise, I do not dye her hair.

Beautiful

Three! Three? THREE! THREE?? My BABY turned three yesterday. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I had a mini-meltdown while looking for birthday gifts for her. The whole, "not suitable for under three," hit home. I always take those as suggestions. And now? She's THREE! When did that happen?



Dear Clarissa,

You are our precious princess, our baby girl, our Claire Bear, our "Cluck," and most importantly our beautiful baby girl. You constantly amaze us at how sweet you can be. You are so funny and such a girly-girl. You love getting your hair and nails done. You love people doting on you. You love playing with your brother and currently love putting on "circuses" for Mommy and Daddy. You love dragging around your big giraffe and love anything dinosaur related. You tell us your favorite dinosaurs are the triceratops, giganonosaurs (I can't even spell it but have learned how to pronounce it due to your teaching me), T-rex, and steganonosaurs (another one I can't spell).

You bring much joy to our lives and we are blessed to be your parents.

Love you,

Mommy & Daddy

That's Amore

I know, I know . . . it's been a while. There really just isn't much to say. Our days are filled with school, play, sleeping, and eating. That pretty much sums up our entire blog. Boring?

Anyway, I figure I'd post a picture of the kids and me since that's out of the norm.

There's Power in the Blood

I've been really horrible at blogging lately. I'll blame it on the fact that I'm kind of overloaded on school work and the kids.

Anyway, I'll try to post a better update later, but I wanted to share some amazingly, fantastic, wonderful news!

Let's rewind to the 8th of October. I read a book to the kids for their night time talking about how if you were scared, you could call upon God for strength. Anyway, Joey started asking A LOT of questions. We ended up talking for forty five or so minutes. He ended up accepting Jesus in his heart that night and it was amazing being able to be there to witness it.

Jump

We bought Joey the cutest pogo-stick today and Joey was excited to try it once he got out of school. I helped him twice and now he's a pro!



By the way, how cute is that pogo-stick? We'll make him a cowboy somehow!
