TOO LoNg and TOO CoLd...

Its been a while since I have made a post. Alot has happened since then. My brother came to visit the first week in January. I haven't seen my older brother Edwin and my niece Kinslee in about two years. They both live in Kansas City, so I don't get to see them very often. Kinslee has never met her cousin Lily. They had a great time hanging out and playing. Well in those two days I was able to catch up with my brother and just enjoy him being home. We fight like brother and sister (of course) but he is my older brother and I LOVE him!!! I just can't wait till he moves back to Texas...which hopefully will be sooner than later:)

Kane and the girls.

Lily went to her first Princess party today. One of my teacher friend's invited us to tag along with them. So, Kane insisted on buying her a princess dress from the Disney Store, I just wanted to go to Target. That is why she is a daddy's girl:) Well my friend ended up not being able to go, but we decide to go ahead and go since we have been telling her about it ALL week. Well we got her all dressed up and headed up to the mall. The Disney store hosted the princess party for the girls. They taught them many different princess things!!! Well, Lily lasted about 10 minutes and she was ready to go. Even though we didn't stay long I am glad we went. She was the cutest princess there!!!

She wanted to wear Kane's Yankee hat instead of the crown. That's daddy's girl:)

It's hard being a princess:)

Well we didn't stay long at the princess party. Lily was ready to go after 10 minutes. So, we left, but not before she had to get the frogs and the alligator from the movie "The Princess and the Frog." Which by the way is a very cute movie that has great great music.

Well, school is moving right along. We have about 2 1/2 weeks till we take our Math CBA. Its a practice TAKS for the kids. Its going to show me where and who I need to go back and reteach. I cant believe it is already February and school will be out 4 months....whooh. I can't wait for summer, speaking of summer...this cold weather is crazy. I can't wait for spring time.I love the spring time here!!! Well I am going to go to bed, we have a busy day a church tomorrow and then my parents are coming into town. Happy January and welcome February!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Well Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! I haven't been able to get on here in a couple of weeks!!! Well we had a busy busy Christmas. It started on:

Dec 21- with Lily and I going to my parents house in Arlington

Dec 22- We went to the Gaylord Texan Hotel to see the Christmas Ice Exhibit

They give you big blue parka to wear in there because everything is made of ice and its 10below. Well, Lily refused to wear her parka. She did not once complain about being cold!!!

Dec. 23- We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks and finished up X-mas shopping

Dec. 24 - Christmas at my parents house!!

Lily and Aidan by the Christmas tree before we opened all the presents!!! That night we traveled to Kane's parents house in East Texas. We had a white Christmas Eve and it snowed on Christmas Day. That will probably be the last time in a long time that it snows on Christmas!!!

Dec. 25- Christmas at Kane's parents house...Lily got tons of Elmo stuff from Santa!!!

Dec. 26- We had Christmas dinner at Kane's granny's house. She is not doing to well so she was very happy to see all her grandchildren and great children at her house:)
Dec. 27- Finally we came home after being gone for a week!!! My bed never felt better:):)
Dec. 28- Kane and my parents took me to the Woodlands Surgery Center for my breast reduction!!!

My parents were here till Tuesday and then Kane's sister came down and stayed with us till today. We didn't do much for the new year, we stayed up to watch the ball drop in NYC and then we went to bed!!! I have just been sitting around and relaxing!!! I can't do much till I have to sit down and rest. I so far love love the new size, but don't enjoy the swelling and soreness:( But hey they will look good here shortly!!!

Well today Kane made some pork ribs for the New Year...yum yum!!! We also had mash potatoes and black eye peas!!! We hung out outside for a bit so Lily could ride her new bicycle her Aunt Wendy got her.



Well I hope everyone has a great and blessed New Year!!! I haven't made any new year resolutions yet!!! I will for sure eat healthier and work out more, but everyone says that!!! I do want to be a better mother, wife and friend...so maybe I will stick to those for right now and see what happens:):)
