Go away SNOW

So if you missed the Dirty Dancing clip in the previous post, well its gone now- some copyright thing....shame shame...I could of looked at that FOREVER!
So we got hit with this winter storm that seems to be sweeping across the entire United States...the pictures in this post are from a previous snow fall. After getting them dressed to go out in it and which meant "fighting" to put all those clothes on and then lasting a whole twenty minutes I wasn't about do that battle again...but at least Ella got a "real taste of it" ha, ha

Cologne

Cologne....to me this is a big one!! You have to smell GOOOOOD!
Lets face it, If a guy is a 5 on a scale 1-10...if he smells good he will go up to at least a 7!
So this will be my mission before Valentine's day/anniversary...I am going to hunt for a good smelling cologne for my senses....any suggestions?
In case your lost...I am counting down to Valentine's day. I am coming up with ideas for romance..for those who need some help, plus its a break from my usual day to day. My brain needs some triggers other than play.

ONE MORE

And before I leave...So you think you can dance???
Watch DIRTY DANCING...just about every female has watched it again and again!!
Probably this scene the most ( which I think I'm up to 10 times just tonight.....you just GOT to love Patrick Swayze in this!!!) Close your eyes Grandma....its for my research! I swear!

What makes a Man?

Okay, its Saturday night and what else do I have to do....I have one child in bed and the other is with his babysitter....(tv) and my husband went ice fishing....
I have been reading other blogs and found some interesting stuff...which those who read mine will now benefit from!
Valentine's day is coming which means also my 5 year anniversary....so to all you men out there that may "glance" at my blog....I am going to post suggestions on how SOME of us women see you and wish you to be.....
So I will leave you with John Cusack ....

Ella has her tubes!

So we have made it through surgery....it was a little rough in the morning of...but she came through with a quick nap, she forgot all about it. Until we see the doctor again in two weeks...I'm sure she'll flashback then..yeah! More screaming, she HATES the doc right now....more than ever since we have gave her 3 shots in a matter of a week on top of oral antibiotics trying to clear up these ears. AND now we have to go back at the end of this month for more vaccines...I wonder if she thinks I am evil??? I know, I know, just wait until she is a teenager and she will know I'm evil!
Liam is doing fine....we are going through age 3 so fast...and let me tell you the defiance that has come with this age is just lovely....and yes I realize this is just the beginning. I often say to him things like " your driving me crazy" or "chill out" my favorite...Mr. Bipolar....funny thing....they get repeated back to me when I'm doing something crazy....like driving ...I will hear familiar quotes! or when I'm yelling at the dog....I'll be told to "chill out" Which brings me to my new motto posted on the side.......

Delayed Christmas pictures

So here are some pictures from Christmas 2008.....
Also I threw in a couple of Ella when she had this High Fever virus before Christmas and then gave it to her brother....I didn't get pics of Liam, by the time he got it I was wore out....
funny thing...with both of them, their eyes turned red and were bloodshot...don't know if it had anything to do with there 104 degree fevers or what, but they looked awful...I was trying to capture it in the photo of Ella, but she wasn't having it!

ELLA IS GETTTING TUBES!

Yes thats right! Ella will go in next week to get tubes put in her ears....
So, I know I promised all these updates and such, but here's the deal. My computer went out over christmas....great timing....and now Chris has my camera with all the recent pics on them doing some police work....lord knows what will come back on my memory card!
So my little Ella- she has had an ear infection well over a month now.....MANY, MANY rounds of antibiotics- all of them- TWO shots and they are still infected. Took her the the ENT yesterday and he of course DR. says on to surgery....which I am all for it! She hasn't been too bad for me though....fussy during the day and not sleeping well for naps, but at night she has been fine.
If this would of happened to Liam- he would of been off the hook! Typical man though, no tolerance to pain. God bless him...my sweet little mama's boy!!
So countdown is on for tubes, YEAH!

Winter Fun

So we purchased a new mattress and for fun, Chris decided to build it up to be an indoor slide...this went on for a week until my mama came down and took it away (thank you mother)
Anyways Ella is tough as nails and of course would not let her brother do anything that she couldn't or Wouldn't do! The next little video was her dancing, she was REALLY tapping to the beat earlier, but of course once the camera came out so did the shyness!
Some stats on Ella:
Has cut her bottom 2 molars and working on her top.
Has only 4 teeth in the front on top and bottom.
Sleeping great! Bed 8pm-7:30-8am
Trying to transition to one nap....
AND she is weaned from me (yeah)
She is a very busy little girl...she never sits down!
Liam is still enjoying school, when he gets to go! We are still battling his infection..and his immune system or lack there of is taking a beating...we are considering taking him out of pre-school, but we shall see how he does over Christmas break.
I'll be updating again...its the HOLIDAYS!
