Alexis is SO tired!

Alexis has decided that she doesn’t need naps anymore… more like she doesn’t want to nap!  Last night, we took Harrison to choir and in 5 minutes in the car… she was zapped!  I didn’t want her to take a nap at 6:30, so I got her out of the car and she was trying to sleep standing up.  But after a few minutes of that, she decided it wasn’t going to work.

That brings me to the morning… This is what I found in the kitchen floor when I got up…

She was sound asleep!  I don’t think she was there all night because I was up so much with Grayson.  I guess she got up and couldn’t find her bed to go back to sleep!

Travis picked her up and put her in our bed and she fell back asleep.  She is SO tired!

Can you do a Last Minute Trip as a Family of Five?

At lunch on Friday, Travis asked me if we wanted to go to Nashville and stay the night. I wanted to go, but was anxious about packing quickly, a hotel night, and shopping all day.  On the way home I would have to say it was one of the BEST days ever!

  Harrison and Travis went to the Monster Jams on Friday night and me and the other two went to the room.  Alexis was bouncing off the wall!

After a full nights sleep… she was ready to go again.

Then a day of shopping at Opry Mills.  I was so surprised that the weekend went so smoothly.  The kids had fun and everyone got along.

Time for the Carousel…

Stories of Harrison

Since Harrison was born, he has been matched up with Lilly.  There is 7 weeks between them and they enjoy each other so much!  Now they are 4yrs old, and still have fun together… whenever we do see them.  Kim, Lilly’s mother, told me the other day that Lilly was talking about when her and Harrison get married… she even said they would kiss on the lips!  Got to love the innocence of kiddos (I wished they would have it forever).  Lilly is really into fairy tales and happily ever after… while Harrison has no clue about love (of course except for us) and he is more interested in football!!! and other sports!

Santa brought H a 100 piece puzzle.  He is doing so well with it!  He had it sitting on table completed and came back one day and most of it was apart.  He came and told me that, “Some girl that starts with an ‘A’ messed up his puzzle”  I guess that is a way to keep for tattling on his sister directly.

Because of the move, we now have the boys sharing a room.  Harrison hasn’t taken naps since he was 2, so if I can get him to lay down around 8:30 or 9… he will go to sleep easily.  Grayson still wakes during the night and poor Harrison just rolls over and never gets up until the morning.  It is so sweet!  Alexis on the other hand falls asleep in my lap, stays in her bed for a couple hours… then in ours the rest of the night.. This started when she discovered she could get out of her toddler bed.  I am hoping for a change to that soon!

Alexis has been calling Harrison, ‘Bubba’ as soon as she started talking.  Harrison was too hard for her to say.  Since the beginning H has not liked that.  I walked in one day when he was carrying on a conversation with Grayson… he said, ‘my name is Harrison, but you can call me bubba, can you say that? Bubba?’

On the first day back from school most teachers ask the kids what they got for Christmas.  So, I asked Harrison what he told the teacher.  He said, ‘ I got underoos and race cars’.  I asked him why he said he got underoos, not underwear.  He replied, ‘That is what you call them…’

Travel Changing Pad and new fonts

I have bought new fonts that I am excited about.  These are just two of them. Also, I just completed a Travel Changing Pad that is perfect for … Traveling! or just everyday running.  It is large enough for baby to fit and stay off those not so sanitized areas.  One side is covered in vinyl for the dirty  diapers to be easily cleaned and the other side is soft for the quick changes. It even has a layer of batting in between for extra softness… All rolls up easily by a ribbon to take anywhere!

Vicksburg Christmas at T’s house

On Tuesday after Christmas, we loaded up.. and I mean REALLY loaded up!  and headed to Mississippi.  We got there at 2am, so the kids had to wait to open their gifts.  But the next morning… they were ready!

Of course, when you get something for one child, the other one has to get theirs.. So, they all have neck rest…

These two got computers…  I don’t have a picture, but they also all three got Zhu Zhu pets from T (in case you didn’t know, they are the hottest gift of the season)

Grayson got a bib that reads, ‘Grandpa T loves me’ so, it is T for Travis, not Tennessee!

The kids also enjoy playing with this old police cruiser.
