turkey day, disneyland and our favorite seabee




thanksgiving this year came with a twist. with daddy in california, and only four days. b and i decided to spend it out there. m's aunt barb was gracious enough to invite us to her home to spend thanksgiving with her and his cousin's, marcy and peter. we had a great time visiting with them. we also decided to visit disneyland once again, being it was only a few hours away from the base. we were just so happy to be able to spend this holiday with dad, we could not be thankful enough.

i never thought i could love a little vacuum so much

mealtime cleanup is about to send me to the local pschyatric ward. my boys love to mash, squeeze, dump, smear and throw their food. i have actually considered calling supernanny. but the application is too long and i don't have time to fill it out because i always seem to be either making, serving or cleaning up a meal. did i say, cleaning up a meal? eating a meal for me is almost comical as i think i get up in between every bite i take for one reason or another. usually after bite three i don't ever sit back down again. that is normally when the food starts flying. note the mess under the table; the same mess is behind me and to my left and my right, as well as the boys chairs and the top of the table. my saving grace is my cordless shark vacuum. it has been my lifesaver, i use it at least five times a day and sometimes more. it is this stage of the boys life that i wish we lived in a warm climate year round. i would literally serve breakfast, lunch and dinner outside.

babooooooo


no that is not a typo. the boys love their tractors, trucks and bulldozers. every bulldozer or tractor we see on the road is now a 'baboo'. they love to play with daddy's old baboos that are in the riding arena at grandma and grandpas. riding their very own baboo....aka gator...down to the barn is also one of their favorite things!

the boys LOVE the gator at grandma and grandpas. i mean love it. all you have to say is gator and they are in the car, ready to head over. it won't be long before b will be driving them around the ranch herself.

b looks foward to riding lessons every week more than anything else. she sometimes forgets it is going to take time to do jumps and showing. she was ready yesterday to do all that stuff. i can't wait to see the progress she makes this year!
