Its whats for breakfast

Well today is my last day of non Christmas activities. We started off today with a very funny between Kiah and myself. I was preparing breakfast when he entered the kitchen. "Mom I Will l only be eating moose,lion,and bear today" "But Kiah what about chicken and piggy and cow?" "MOM I don't like chicken,piggy or cow anymore, I'm ONLY eating moose,lion and bear." "Well Kiah that's going to be hard bc we don't have moose or lion in Arkansas except for in zoo's and you will go to jail if you try to hurt those animals" "Well what about bears, do they live in Arkansas?" "Well we do but your really little and bears are really big and the only way you will kill a bear as a little guy like yourself is if he chokes on you" He stared at me for a min with his forehead wrinkled and then tapped his head in his thinking gesture then responds with "
Ok mom Ill just eat cereal until I'm big enough to kill a bear" I lost it,where in the world does this stuff come from. I could not have started my day any better.

Today I plan on it being a relaxing day. We will be attending a 1st birthday party for a friends little girl and then we will be spending the rest of the day with the Cox's at their house. Then we get up early in the AM and take off to South Arkansas for Christmas at my Grandparents house YAY!! I just really wanted to get the conversation between Kiah and I on blog form so one day I can pull it up and show him how crazy he is lol. Merry Christmas Guys

A date with the cutest guy in town

In the past week I have taken time to have mommy and me time. I took Adelhei on her first shopping trip as just her and mommy. We made a whole day out if it. It was really fun to see her get excited over things she never really cared about. She of course LOVED the shoes dept and hallmark lol. I just can't wait for those days when we can just go get hair and nails done together. It kills me to see how big she is getting ,but I'm also extremely excited about it as well. I just hope by the time prom rolls around she and I are NOTHING like my mother and I were. That was horrible lol. Mom only went to the discount racks and her taste and mine were NOTHING alike. But we served with no injuries.But time will only tell for me and miss Addie Lou.
After I had spent my day with Addie it was time for Kiahs mommy and me time. So yesterday after the whole family spent the day out and about together we took daddy and sister home and got ready for what Kiah calls his mommy date. I wouldn't tell him where we were going. We loaded up, stopped at the store for a special treat (a sprite) lol and headed to Iron Mountain. I still wouldn't tell him what we were doing. We entered the building and begin walking to where my big surprise was. We walked through a wonderland type tunnel with Christmas lights above our heads and he was getting really excited. "Mommy what is this" We turned the corner to be greeted by two big real life nutcrackers and his jaw dropped lol. They escorted us to our seats and I could see the excitement in his eyes. He watched everything around him. The stage,the people everything. Then another surprise, Sydnii,Robert,Petey,and Angel were there. They announce it is starting and he climbs in my lap for a better view. The building goes dark and I feel him tense a little and he leans back and says "Mom its really dark,I cant see anything" I tell him just hang on and then the lights come back on and the opening scene from Imagine Christmas the Crossing Christmas Play begin. He sat so still watching and taking it all in. Well then a few scenes later they had a stomp routine with drummers beating on metal pans and big metal barrels and while they played there was a snowball fight. This kid didn't move except to bob his head to dance or to stretch to see better. Towards the end he got a little restless because the play had slowed down and reached its serious part. Afterwards the whole cast lined the tunnel and he went through telling EVERY cast member Merry Christmas Guys!!! We got outside and he yells "MOM THAT WAS AWESOME, THE BEST DATE EVER" I asked him well Kiah what was your favorite part and he says "Oh the drums for sure, they were so cool and they were throwing things at each other lol. He talked the whole way home about it and ran inside so excited to tell daddy. He brought Josh a program as a gift and sat in his lap and told him everything about our night.
I just wish my kids would always be so excited about spending time with mom, but I know that just as soon as those hormones kick in I can kiss it all goodbye. Oh well I will enjoy it while it last

Goodbye 2009

It is so hard to believe that another year has come and almost went. The years seem to fly by now. I can remember how it seemed to take FOREVER to turn 16, then 18,then 21. After 21 something happened. Time begin to race faster and faster. I could drive now smoke legally buy my own alcohol, what more was there to do or so I thought. Then at that tender age of 23 I became a mom and that is when it really begin racing out of control. Kiah turned 1 after what seemed like weeks after his birth then BAM baby number 2 WHAT! The years are going faster than I can snap pictures lol. 2009 was filled with all sorts to talk about.

We begin the year in California with my wonderful in laws ( not a bad to start the year I must say), Kiah had his first surgery (tubes),there were countless doctor appointments, I began and quit an intense workout lol,friends had babies,town was hit by the worst tornado I have ever seen, Kiah played t-ball,I spent way to much money on a vacuum(Ill pay it off next year!) We got to see both brothers ride at the same rodeo which is pretty rare these days,I turned 26, Tuffed it out through another summer softball league, A few special people were called home, Attended Josh's high school reunion which was interesting but came out of it with a few new friends, Had my very first yard sale,Kiah turned 3, Addie turned one and together we had a fantastic pool party.I received really unnerving news about my boobies,We took Kiah to Magic springs for the 1st time,Kiah started pre school, My brother Cody got married, Josh turned 29, Josh switched doctors which was a very good move, I moved to south Arkansas for a while to care for my grandmother,We were given an amazing gift from the little rock zoo,Survived my first Rochfest LOL, Did a little trick or treating,Had a great Ladies wine tasting. My brother Jermiah got married, I threw a few birthday parties for friends, Got addicted to twilight, suffered though Thanksgiving with a sick baby,Took the kids to the Christmas parade, Attended a baby shower.Watched LOTS of football, WOW that's just a few things.

When I took back on my year like this,it makes me slow down and take it all in. I don't want to look up one day and be 70 years old and not remember what I had done with my life. Who did I meet, who did I lose,what came and went, What did I learn. I try to live one day at a time and cram as much into that one day as I most possibly can. And when its all said and done. I hope that Ill be able to say I DID IT ALL! Here's to one year down and many more to come. Merry Christmas bloggers and Happy New Year!
