Valentines and stuff

Xayla is really into imagination. She talks to herself and reads (her reading) to herself. This is how I found her one night. What a princess.

Took the kids to the Atomic Testing Center on Flamingo. I had a coupon from the Entertainment Guide book, Kobi was on track break, and I wanted to do something educational. It was fun.

This hat is so out-of-line! I love it. It is so nice that we could dress our little ones the way we want and they have no idea. So funny.

This boy is getting sooooo busy. I think my mellow child is going away :(.

This little girl loves to throw her hair side to side. I caught her on camera during ballet class.

So, I think the best part of Valentines this year was that Kobi told me about 3 weeks ago, "Mom, I think I want a Valentine this year." I said, "Really. Who?"

He said, "Don't tell anyone. Lexi."

He really didn't want me to tell Dad because Dad is such a tease. He asked me almost everyday to buy something for her. He asked me constantly if Valentines was here yet. I gave her mother a heads up because I wanted to make sure Lexi was home when we came by. We had the camcorder and the camera. He wanted us to stay in the car, but oh no...we took the WHOLE family. It was soooo dang cute. Lexi looked adorable and Kobi came from basketball. He was too anxious to change. He wanted to come in a suit but did not want to change at the last minute. We are trying to grow his hair like Corbin Blue from High School musical. It's a lot of patience.

Lexi made Kobi (OK we ate almost all of them, sorry :)) cookies.
His first Valentine. So cute. She is soooo smart too. Got to love that! Thank goodness he doesn't read my blogs. He would KILL me. He gets embarrassed so easily.

Kobi's gifts.

Kobi loves football right now. He plays corner (I'm not good with the terminology) right now.

He has been loving basketball as well. He is a fist pump after making a basket. He is hustling down for defense.

So we went to the Rebel game for Valentines. K.C. ate at Chipotle's and I picked up some food from a Japanese restaurant and met him at Chipotles. So funny. We had a good time. It was so nice of K.C.'s parents to watch the kids so we could have some one on one time. I got my camera in the mail, now I just have to figure out how to use it!

K.C.'s idea of a perfect Valentines and Xayla

So Xayla started ballet. She loves it! She is so funny. She gets so jealous when K.C. and I hold hands. Here are some of her lines:
"Mom, you and Daddy can't hold hands in the car because you are going to crash and die."
"Mommy, you can't get married today (she keeps thinking we are not married) because your ring is not sparkly yet (you have to have a ring that SHE thinks is sparkly to get married).

Her latest:
"Mom you can't get married today because the leaves are still green. When they are not green you could get married.

"If you get married, I'm going to get so really mad."

"When you get married, I'm going to hide behind a tree. I'm going to shake the tree and make it fall right near you and Dad."

"Pick, love me or get married."

She is one determined little cookie. K.C. tried to tell her that we both love her and we love each other, but she did not like that answer.
The perfect Valentines spot?

So K.C. comes home yesterday and says "What are we doing Saturday night?"

I said "Nothing, that I know of."

He says, "It's Valentines."

I said, "Why don't we just put the kids to bed early, have a nice dinner alone, and sit down together to watch a movie."

He said, "No we will get a sitter."

I said, "And go where?"

"We could go to Chipotle (I do not like very much) and go to the Rebel game. (I looked at him crazy because he looked at me as if it was supposed to be the best idea ever.) What? It's cheap. All the other Dental wives thought it was a great idea (Yeah right!)."

Well, I did finally get the camera that I've been wanting
CANON EOS REBEL XSI 450D +HUGE KIT 3 LENSES 4GB (coming next week in the mail). I'm so excited because I wanted to learn how to use it so I could take Jy's 1 year pictures in a couple of months. Xayla is also turning 4 March 1st, so I would love to take her pictures as well.

I decided that I know he would LOVE to be at the Rebel game, so we will do that for Valentines, but I will get another date without kids to an event that has nothing to do with sports. :) Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going to sporting events, but I do not like it to take up EVERY SINGLE date.

Got to love my honey. By the way, he has been doing well in school. We are just trying to figure out where we will be. Here are somewhere else. I will be sure to post when I know what we are doing :).

Oops

Bad Mom! Jy is 10 months today! I need to take his 10 month pictures!

Busy Busy update

OK, reminder, if you want to go to the coupon class on Tuesday, let me know.

Update: My computer broke so I have been a little lost and finally uploaded my pictures now that I have my computer back. K.C.'s Mother started a new tradition of pajama's and bingo. We played bingo for money or presents, made gingerbread houses, and ate reindeer sandwiches. It was so much fun. I love traditions. I truly have fantastic in-laws.

Took the kids to Adventure Dome.

Jy was Santa for Christmas :). I love DI. I got that outfit at Halloween time at DI for $2. So cute! We had our traditional Christmas program at K.C.'s sister's house, Eryn, this year. It was a lot of fun. We ate our traditional soup bowls. Yummy. We tried to sing Christmas music using chimes. The kids acted out the Nativity with me trying to narrate. It should be even better next year when Jy and Keatyn are older. Jy was Jesus in a Santa outfit. Funny. Keatyn was the Angel,

Kobi was Joseph, and Xayla was Mary.

Kobi started playing basketball for the Winter. He is having fun, but he says football is his thing. We signed him up for football in the Spring, but we had no idea they would start practicing in Jan! We have practice 5-6 days a week! Xayla started ballet and we signed her up for Spring soccer. Needless to say, we are busy busy. As you can see, Jy is wasted from all of our practices.

Another note: I love his little hands! He turned 9 months. He will be 10 months tomorrow. Crazy! He is crawling and pulling himself up on things. He finally got his first tooth and then5 followed quickly after! He was in some pain, but is doing much better now.
Oh, and I cut my hair. I like it for now, but I definately like my hair longer. Eryn did a great job on the cut though.
