The Funny Things She Says...
I wanted to share a few Little B-isms with you...they bring a smile to my face when she says them!
"Mommy can I go to BSkids.Borg?"
"The Itsy-Ditsy Spider"
"Yankey Doodle" instead of Magna Doodle
"May you please pick me up?"
"You are my favwit, favwit!"
"The Booger Man" instead of the Boogey Man
"Mommy, you are so wonBerful!"
Just to name a few...I will have to add to this list later. :)
I also could not RESIST adding a cute video that was taped a couple of weeks ago. Little B was watched by an amazing family during the first few months of school last year (this was just a few months before her second birthday mind you). She still prays for them every night before going to bed. And they were OBVIOUSLY on her mind when we were recording this short clip.

Birthday Blessings
Happy 2009!!!! I can't believe that it has taken me this long to post something in the new year! I guess it took a birthday to roll around for me to get to it. Yes...today is my birthday and I have decided (along with my brother-in-law who is one day older) that I will begin counting backwards now...but honestly I think that we should wait for a while longer...I don't want to live to be a negative number!
The first words out of my husband's mouth this morning were, "Happy Birthday." Not a bad way to start out the day. He is a thoughtful guy. We are all about making the birthday person feel special on their special day...You Are Special plate, check; breakfast in bed, not this time - but it was my fault! Sweet "Happy Birthday"s here and there, check!!!!
After going to church, we went to lunch with my grandparents and had a great time comparing each of our meals by how many calories they contained. I guess this is what you do when you turn 32? Or is it because the Biggest Loser started a new season this past week? May be a little of both. :)
My birthday/Christmas present (for the next five years) was new flooring in our dining room and kitchen. We began with WHITE tile floors. I didn't realize just how bad they were until the new flooring was put in...you can see for yourself in the pictures! A wonderful friend of ours offered to help take out the tile...this proved to be a MUCH bigger job than expected! Instead of taking one day with little work, it took two days with a lot more work. Thankfully, my husband did not have to touch ANY of it. Our new friend, Bryan, took care of all of the hard stuff. Then on Saturday, another dear friend came and helped M do the actual laying of the new floor. So...three days later...appliances here and there, dust coming out of my eyeballs, the new flooring is done!!!! It is beautiful! We have just a few finishing touches (which should be done tomorrow). What a blessing! By the end of the day, M and B were so exhausted that they took a little snooze on the couch.

The old tile...
Bryan removing the first one...
M and his buddy laying the new flooring...
Ta-Da! I LOVE it!
Sleeping Beauties...
As I sit and type, I realize that I do not have a "birthday picture" of myself to show you...I'm usually the one BEHIND the camera. Oh well...may be next year!
