Veggie Tales

So last week we took Jimmy to Chuck E Cheese for His Birthday dinner. Anywho, while we we there they had different clips shoing on the TV. And this Veggie Tales music video came on, and it cracked me up!!! So of course, I have searched it out on the internet and found it on you tube. I was hoping to put it on the blog. But I couldn't figure it out, sorry. But here is the link

Believe me, it is totally worth the 2 minutes of your time! It will make you laugh! I had never really seen any Veggie Tale stuff prior to this, but now I'm hooked! This one is called the Gated Community. Enjoy!!!

UPdate I figured it out. But you will need to pause the music first, then hit play to watch the video.

they clean up nice

thanks to nana cindy and aunt jennifer for the new cute sunday outfits!

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

I'm having a hard time today as I realize that my "baby" is 5! I read a cartoon the other day that really made me laugh. It said the years go by so fast...it's just the days that seem so LONG. Anyways, I put together a slide show of Jimmy from 1st birthday to now, so you could all see how he has grown. Enjoy!

Jimmy's Birthday Date

Saturday February 9th Jimmy decided to take his dad on a date. We had received a coupon for a free kids meal at Red Robin, so he asked me to go with him that afternoon. We had a great time talking, and at the end of the meal our waiter(s) sang 'Happy Birthday' and gave Jimmy a HUGE icecream sunday. We spent the rest of the afternoon going to different stores looking for something he could buy with the $3 he had gotten from his piggy bank. He settled on some water balloons which he plans to use at his birthday party.

Valentine

This weekend we went to a Valentine Dance. We were so excited for an opportunity to dress up, go dancing, and have babysitting on site. Sadly Timmy was a tired, sad boy and spent more time on the dance floor than with the babysitters. But on the whole we had a fun time. While Dave was tending to Timmy, he sent Jimmy to come and ask me to dance. It was very sweet, and comical all in one. Picture an empty dance floor, a slow song and Jimmy holding my hands and galloping in a big circle. It was fun. Later I took Timmy and Addy and Dave took to the dance floor. Dave got down on her level, and unlike her elder brother, she took the slow song slow. I guess she has seen enough Princess movies that she knows how to dance with her Prince! HA! So the balloons came home with us from the dance, and have provided much entertainment. Anyways, here at our house we have had our Valentine's Day. For the last 5 years we have celebrated on the 10th. For those who don't know Jimmy's birthday is the 14th, and we don't want to take away from his special day. I was actually induced with Jimmy and had some say on the day. The problem was I was so miserably sick, and couldn't take it anymore. The 14th was the soonest the Doctor would take him, and so I signed up. People asked me then... are you sure? and would tell me to wait one more day. But I couldn't. I don't regret it, and I don't mind having our sweet heart day early. We chose the 10th because we were married on the 10th of May so it sounded good. So on Sunday evening we put the kids to bed, and together made and enjoyed a nice, QUIET, candle lit dinner and had "us" time. It was very nice. I appreciate Dave coming up with the idea. Tomorrow the kids have a Valentine play group and so they have prepared their cards for thier friends. I am sure they will have a great time, and so we say to all of you...Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours!

So yesturday, obviously I was bored...but I had fun playing with the look-alike meter! Today however I recieved a message from an old friend on my guestbook... so this afternoon I have had so much fun looking at pages of old friends. It's crazy how linking to one page you can run into so many other people you know. I know I really need to pull away from the computer and be productive. My house really needs to be cleaned, especially with all the family coming into town next weekend. But as I said before in my confession earlier, I am addicted to the blogging community. It is so fun to see old friends and their families and what they are doing now. Thanks to all my blogging buddies!

PETS

We have been hearing "I wanna pet!" alot lately. But I don't, the way I see a pet is one more thing to bath and feed around here. Not something I want. So we have come to middle ground and got fish. Now Jimmy and Addy each have "pets" and I don't have any extra work. Only sad thing was 2 of Jimmy's fish didn't make the night. He told me they were "resting" this morning as I pulled them out with a net. So I told him they had to go so the other fish didn't get sick. Luckily he took it well. Anyways, here are pics of the kids proudly standing by their pets.
