Chris's special day

I thought his birthday was over, but it continued today:) Aunt Jackie and "Boat Boat" (Lauren) picked Chris up for a trip to Toys-R-Us... He was so excited to have a special trip with them. They let him pick out his birthday gift... and this is what I was lucky enough to bring home. A nerf gun... Not only a gun, but a gun bigger than he is complete with detachable clips. Wonderful- thanks Lauren and Jackie... Oh- and hi to all the Smith children- I know you are reading, eventhough you have already made fun of me for this blog. Here's your shoutout:) Chris really did have a great time and thought he was so big. He had a dinner date with them at Wendy's, and we finished the night off with target practice~ Jackie bent over and moved her butt all around so we had a moving target. Only my family:) Gotta love them!

Addie's artwork...

Addison certainly did not get her artistic abilities from her mommy- She LOVES to color- she'll sit forever just coloring contently. Don't you LOVE her latest artwork? She did this all by herself. I would love to tell you that this is in a sketchbook since it's so wonderful... but no- it's on my wall... yes, my wall. Note to self- don't leave the markers in an accessible place for a one year old.

Also, she and I were playing with the camera today- she makes some faces, doesn't she?:)

My hubby and Paris...

Brendan is in Cali... he called last night and informed me that he was in Paris Hilton's bedroom- that's always what you want to hear from your husband, right? Seriously though, he went to his copilot's friend's house to watch a basketball game. The house just happened to be Paris's home in Beverly Hills that she just sold. Brendan said it was unreal~ There were mirrors EVERYWHERE. She left her furniture (except for her bed) and the house was decorated with basically just mirrors and pictures of none other than... Paris Hilton. He said the letter "H" was everywhere and so were security cameras. There was a special "paparazzi escape route", an office just for the security officers that monitored the cameras, the 2 car garage was converted into a closet, the pool had a built in D.J. area complete with cages where her monkeys would hang out by the dance floor... oh, and let's not forget the stripper pole room:) He was walking two blocks to Sunset Hills Blvd to dinner. Sometimes I think I should have been a pilot- no, I think nothing can compare to a night of pretending your a horse and giving rides to tire out your children and feasting on a PBJ:)

These are pics from his camera phone of her living room, the pole, and the pool.

Show and Tell

Today was quite an easy, breezy day... Chris had preschool, which means breaktime for mommy. He goes to the Leesburg United Methodist Preschool twice a week. Once a month, Chris has show and tell. I'll admit that I "prep" him about what he's taking and what to say... if you know Chris, you know why I do this:) I do let him pick out what he's taking~ so after I veto'd the DS and a light sabre (for some reason I didn't see those going over so well), he decided to take his Virginia Tech football. He was going to tell about how he went to the game with mommy and daddy and it was all really sweet... When I picked him up, I asked how show and tell went... He started off great- here's how his show and tell went... "I told my class that this is my Virginia Tech football. I said I got it when I went to the Virginia Tech football game with mommy and daddy (I'm thinking wow, such a sweet little boy). It's really cool, but what I really wanted that day was cotten candy. Mommy and Daddy said the cotten candy man didn't show up for work, so I didn't get to get any, so I had to get this football instead. " I can only imagine what he says that I don't know about!

And yes, that is Miss Addie Tay taking brother to school, and yes, she's carrying a purse. Bad habits have started already:) Like mother, like daughter... only now she's the one with the cute purse and I'm the one with an old diaper bag.

Up way too late~

Yes, I'm up waaaayyyyy past my bedtime- could it be because this is going to be the longest week ever because my hubby is traveling!!! Oh well- ya take the good with the bad- and if you ask me, I'm pretty lucky... isn't this the sweetest:)

On a roll...

Since I've done a million entries my first day (don't expect this all the time!)~ I thought I'd share some pictures of my sweet Addie Tay... She's more like her mommy than she knows- ha ha!

A few more favorites...
