Mista Pwesident B'o'Bama

 

Things I don't want to forget:

Today Aiden and I watched the inauguration together, wrapped in Purple Blanket with Sadie laying on top of us.

He kept me amused by saying Pwesitent. Mista Pwesident. Mista Pwesident B'o'Bama : over and over.

Aiden said that he thought the president had on his grumpy face. ?

I could eat that boy for lunch.

Kung Fu Fighting..

 

The Super Friends have been FIGHTING a bug, flu, virus or whatever. Nobody in my home has slept for more than 4 hours in a row since Thursday.

 

I hope to get A LOT of sleep tonight.

Happy New Year.. version 2.0

This year my New Year's Resolutions were shockingly similar to last years : eat right, lose weight, solve the world hunger problem and of course UPDATE this site more often.

Well, let's just say that 2 weeks into 2009 and I'm already looking for a "Do Over" on all resolutions.

So I'm going to pretend today is the 1st ish.. and be more diligent about keeping this site current. We have no less than 100 dorky moments a day in this house and it's my "job" to remember as many of them as I can.

This is Dan and I on our way to the Cousin's Christmas Party at Auntie M's .

( I must admit I LOVE natural light, and this is why most of our pictures are taken in front of the window)

I went through all 8 billion pictures for 2008 and only found one of Dan and I and maybe 4 of me by myself. So since I would like to be part of the story and not just the storyteller, I am making a conscious effort to let my picture be taken more often. I would like to remember what I looked like at this stage of my life, (which is totally smoking hot, right?) and someday when my babies look back at all the pictures they will get all sappy an remember when Mommy had all her own hair.

THINGS I DON'T WANT TO FORGET :

Nicole did my make-up that day, I tried to use liquid eye liner but gave up. She gave it a try and it came out great. I can't get that look on my own. ?

I was going to get a Bath and Body Works Gift card for $30.00 as my Yankee Swap gift. Instead I picked out all the things that I wanted and picked that.. Since NO ONE with a higher number wanted my stuff, I got to keep it!

Happy New Year!

Time to get on the wagon.. I've been lazy.

Wagon meet Jillian..

It's hard, but I never fail to feel 200% better after I'm done.

Aiden's alter ego.. 


Hulk, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

He is such a sweet boy. And then he's not.

I'm crossing my fingers, throwing salt over my shoulder and stuffing my pockets with 4 leaf clovers, that this boy will be so excited, he will nap on the plane.

Don't laugh, it might happen.

Can you feel the magic? 


Magic, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

Leaving on a jet plane.. Don't know when I'll be back again.

I found this picture of Christopher from last year, and I just love it. We all take turns standing in front of the castle to get our picture and last year Christopher's was the only one to come out happy and smiling..

I'm hoping to be able to post during the trip..

If not, I'll see you on the flip side.

It's the Disney Countdown!


It's the Disney Countdown!, originally uploaded by Michelle.Dan.

The final countdown.

One more day before we leave for Disney.

It's all very exciting for 5 and under crowd.

This is a picture of the Disney Countdown Calender that Danielle made for Emily and Aiden. To help understand the passage of time, blah.. blah..

Emily is the sticker picker outer. She decides the sticker and will only allow Aiden to attach one if it's not too big. (he can't be trusted with actual princess sticker, he's gets word stickers that say GOOD JOB or WAY TO GO)

I have lots to say about this BLEEPING calendar, but then I would sound like a big Grinch, so let's just acknowledge that I am happy to be leaving for Disney in one day, because it means only ONE more time we have to have to listen to Emily yell about her stickers.

Hazardous Happenings..

 

Cheerleading is not for sissies..

Kicked in the face by a 100 pound girl being thrown 10 feet in the air.

 

Wipe out at full speed on the gym floor, missing entire top layer of skin from the knee, bonus purple and blue coloring..

Emily's Choice Tuesday

Emily and I scrolled through about 3,000 pictures tonight. We covered 2003 to 2008. 

Diaper Head came in as the clear favorite.

My apologies to the rest of the family, but it appears that Aiden with a diaper on his head is WAY funnier than the rest of you.
