Disney on Ice....

was awesome!!!! It kept Lani's attention for 2 hours. The skaters were doing lifts and jumps and I was very impressed they could do all that in their costumes. My only complaint is that they charges $12 for snow cones, $10 for popcorn and cotton candy. I mean that is just a little ridiculous!!


Peter Pan and his crew flying through the air...

Ariel and Flounder...


Simba and Nala...



waiting in line...





Thanksgiving pics


This one was the best...We couldn't get everyone to do the same thing at the same time...

I love the way they play so good together!!!





Me and my little Indians..

Funny...

So we have been talking to Lani about Christmas being Jesus' Birthday. She understand for the most part. Well, Wednesday, her class was having a Thanksgiving Party. Lani thinks that any party is for a birthday and there is no convincing her otherwise. So, Lani thinks she had Jesus a birthday party at her school Wednesday, and she thinks her birthday is next. We have tried explaining that it isn't Christmas yet, so Jesus hasn't had his brithday yet. But she is a 2 year old that knows thinks she knows absolutely everything, and there is no changing her mind.

Catch up...

So Ive been a slack blogger lately....So here's a few things that have been going on...

1-Dax had his first visit to Chuck E. Cheese, the day before his birthday - And my camera batteries were DEAD!! Yes, I have NO pics...I'm a little upset, but I guess that is reason for us to go again. We went on a Tuesday this time and it was so much better than our Saturday visits. There were 3 other kids in there, so Lani and Dax were very happy to pretty much play with anything they wanted. Dax really enjoyed riding all the little rides.

2 - Dax and I have had this terrible stomach virus. We are finally better...Today! We have had it since Tuesday!! I am very thankful Jarod and Lani did not catch this virus, because it made me feel so bad..I mean my entire body ached....So Glad that is over!!!

3- I have had so much fun watching Lani and Dax bond and play. This makes me super-excited, because I never had a brother or sister to play with when I was younger. Dax has learned to say Lani and will call for her whenever she gets out of his sight. Also, when he wakes up in the morning, he doesn't want me or J, he is standing in his littel crib sayin "Ani, Ani." It is so cute. Lani is also very protective of him ~ If she is going to stay somewhere, he has to stay too. In the mornings while I'm trying to get everything together, Lani is like, Mommy don't forget Dax. I would never forget him, but at least I have Lani's help.

Happy Birthday Dax!!!

One year ago today ~ Dax entered the world at 7:44am, weighing 8 pounds and 8 ounces. Life has not been the same since that day. Dax is such a happy baby! I have been very lucky with both of my children. Dax started walking at 9 months, gave up the bottle at 9 months, but smiling since day 1. He has picked up a few words such as - dada, mama, Lani, bye bye, and uh uh oh. Yeah he throws two uhs in there.




Loving her new Dax baby brother...I can't believe how young she looks in this pic...

So sweet, just a few hours old...

1 year old!!!!

*~Birthday Party~*

Dax doesn't turn one until Wednesday, but we decided to have his party today.
Hot Wheels Cake...

Dax's cake...Lani went to Publix with me this morning to pick up the cakes. They handed us this one and she asked me if it was hers. I told her no and that it is the cake Dax gets to dig through. Lani then clapped and siad yay, I get to dig through the big one.

Not a good time to play peek-a-boo. Yes, he was playing...


After...



So Messy...
Dax had a great party!!!!! He received some great toys and outfits.
