Out of the Mouth of Babes

Watching Animal Planet with Sydney we were learning about the winters in Yellowstone. And the wolves were chasing after the bull elk. I was trying to explain to Sydney that its the cycle of life and the wolves eat meat and have to eat something or it will die.

She still didnt like that and thought they were mean. I then told her we eat meat. We eat cows. "WHAT"."COWS"! she exclaimed. She had this look of, what the sweet cows that just walk around eating grass.

I was laughing. Yea I said your hambugers are meat from cows. Then she started gaging and said she'll never eat a hamburger again. We'll see. Syd loves her burgers.

****************************************

Syd kept repeating herself today. So I said

Geesh Syd hush.

Later on in our car ride I did something Syd didnt like

and she said...

Cheese mom.

haha I told her its geesh not cheese.

She laughed and decided she liked cheese better and thats how she'll be saying it.

Cute Conversation

Me: Hi Handsome

Blake: HI (in a deep monster voice)

Me: Who said that?

Blake: Me

Me: Well where'd that sound come from?

Blake: My mouth.



It was so cute and so mater of fact. Dont know what I was expecting the answer to be... just not mouth. lol. of course it came from his mouth.

Never give the water hose to the 3 yo!

Blake was getting Sydney wet with the hose when he decided to turn it on me!

My Babies

Blake is "3"

Blake turned 3 Aug 22. My baby is growing up.
I make the kids there cakes every year. So this year Blake got Lighting McQueen from the movie Cars which he would watch all day everyday if I let him.

It's now time to go thru Blakes toys and get rid of the baby ones and make room for all the new toys he got this year. He loves super heros, Ben 10 and of course Lighting McQueen. I know he's getting older when I have to change out the toys and make room for his Big Boy toys. So sad. Why can't they just stay little forever.

We barbequed and had fun with friends and family. Rami the grill master with Bear begging for food.

First Day of School 2009

We started out good. Had some outfit changing for Blake. He had to have his spiderman shirt. They are very excited.
Sydney is going to Kindergarten and will have Ms. Ventic as a teacher. We have heard nothing but good raves about her.

Blake just turned 3 two days before he started preschool! My baby.

Dont know why but Sydney had a hard with the first day. She didnt want me to leave and was crying. It was a bigger environment and lots more kids than usual. And being the first day kinda chaotic. So all that didnt help.

We look like everything is going well here. I finally got Syd in the classroom and with the help of Ms. Ventic she stayed in there. Next was taking Blake to class. He liked being there just didnt want me to leave. So as they walked to the classroom and into class I had to leave. He cried got over it and had a good day. Later that night Rami asked Blake how school was and he said... Mom leave me... I cry. That kid just broke my heart. And for the rest of the night he kept telling... Mom I cry, I cry. Sure just rub it in buddy. lol.

Married 8 years?

Yes I can't believe we have been married 8 years today. First time flies and second Im getting older. Can it be possible that Im old enough to be married that long? See along with getting married I have my birthday a couple of days later. So Im really feelin it now. Can't believe this is me and Rami 8 yrs ago.

In the 8 years we have been married we have moved 7 times!
We have 2 kids... Sydney 5 and Blake 3 on aug22

We have our dog Bear who was our first baby. We got him 1 yr after we were married.

We are now mini van drivers. Who would have thought. And I actually love mine.
