I thought this was too funny!! We were all hanging out upstairs before going out of town for Thanksgiving. Luke wanted his lunch upstairs, so I had it on the Lightening McQueen table. Well, before we knew it we looked over and Ella was eating Luke's sandwich and drinking his drink out of his drink box!!! It was hilarious. When we took a picture, she just looked at us like, "what"! They are just too funny.
This event is a little past, but I wanted to mention Luke's soccer tournament. Uncle Michael came in town to go to the game with Ella and I. I think he really enjoyed seeing him played. It was FREEZING, but we still had fun. Then Michael went out to eat with us and staid the night. We really enjoyed getting to see him, and going to our first soccer tournament!!
It has been crazy with the holidays and such and I have not had much time to sit and post. We went to Arlington for Thanksgiving. We really enjoyed our trip. I will post pics from Thanksgiving later, my dad has them because I forgot my camera. Evertything went well, and we enjoyed being with our family.
While we were in town we decided to have a little family vacation. Jay took off the week, which is the first time he has taken off in a year! We decided to make the most of it and do some fun things around the DFW area. We went to the World Aquarium in Dallas. It was awesome! It was like a zoo and aquarium in one. It had a great open air area where you could see the animals in their own (simulated) environment. The kids loved it. We even brought Nana with us, much to Luke's delight, and met with our great friends Chas and daughter Gracie.
Here goes....
Ok, so I have been viewing all of the blogs of my friends and others and thought they were adorable! I decided I would take a crack at it for myself. I am not so sure how to do this, so I am just going to do it. I really enjoy sharing fun things about my family with others, and I love reading about their adventures too. My family is my number one priority these days, so I just thought I would share some of what goes on with us. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children, and a happy home.
With the beginning of this new year we have Luke at school two days a week, at St. Laurence Catholic church. He loves going, and enjoys playing with his friends there (mommy enjoys the time off too). Luke also has soccer practice once a week and games on Saturday mornings. This is hilarious! Luke loves soccer, just not the games. He is doing great though, and we love going.
Jay is well into his "civilian" job, and loves it. He is really doing wonderful, which is why he works a lot! The traveling is crazy, with places like Dubai, Aberdeen, and Singapore, but it is a heck of a lot better than year long deployments! We are very proud of him, and I am grateful to be allowed to stay at home with the kiddos.
Ella is fabulous! She is getting so big, which I am in denial of because I keep buying her clothes to small (we went to the zoo when she was 8months old and I bought her a 6month size tshirt). I guess I am just not ready to have two big kids. She is crawling all over the place, and loves standing. When she stands up, she is so happy until she realizes she doesn't know how to get down. Check out her new stand up toy! On a side note, you will never catch Ella with out a bow on top. I took her out at St. Patricks day when she was only a few months old, and she was called a boy. I vowed it would never happen again, so she has been a "bowhead" ever since.
Well, I have babbled enough for the first one of these. Let's see how long until I actually do another. :)
