New post
Everyone is hounding me to post something new, so here we go. We are still recovering from Christmas. The baby still misses his mommy every day. He really liked having her home for so long, over the hollidays. He wakes up looking all around for her, and looks for her when he gets tired. Around 4:30 pm, every day, he expects her to walk through the door. He gets very mad if she is late. Raegan gets mad when I call him titty baby, and milk fed momma's boy, but Im just being honest. Anyway, at 5 1/2 months, he is growing up fast. His bald spot is filling in now. Its coming back red. He stands up pretty good, until he gets distracted, and lunges for something else.
He pulls himself up, to sit. He can sit for as long as he wants now, until he gets distracted, and lunges for something else. He is good at bracing himself as he falls, and has soft landings. He hasnt started crawling yet. His legs are covered most of the time, and its too slippery on the wood to get good practice. When it warms up, he will pick it up quick enough. He scoots backwards, and pulls forward with just his arms, and spins around to get where he wants to go.
He is getting his first teeth on the bottom. He has 2 little slivers poking through.
Jack lost his first tooth. He was very excited. He has been very anxious to have the tooth fairy visit him. He actually went to sleep, and stayed in his bed all night. Usually, he gets up at least once, to ask if there are such things as giant cheese graters, or hullabaloos, or whatever his dream is about. The dentist was mad, because the tooth was not ready to come out. He made it loose by opening too many bottles. Teeth for tools!
I have to take pictures of all his towers. He likes to put stuff on the blog. He is good at building.
I looked for new Grace pictures, but she has managed to elude the camera for too long. I'll take some pictures of her when she comes home from school. I looked for her latest masterpiece, but I cant find it. Raegan will have to look for it. Its probably right in front of me. I'll post that later too. She is doing very good in school. They called her up for a scholastic award in their school assembly. I didnt know about any assembly, or I would have crashed it. "That's my girl!! Whoooeeee!" would be fun to let loose. Think Grace would be em bare assed?

Their piano teacher does voice, too. Jack will alternate, every other week between voice, and piano. We will see how it goes with Grace. Her teacher will have to prove herself to get that little bird to chirp.

Happy New Year
Some pics from Christmas day. I wont bore you with everything, but here is the Santa booty. It was really cool that Santa was able to deliver on their lists. Their belief level went up a few tics.
Miss Grace
Luke. These toys are the most played with by all.
Jack. That Magnetix coaster is AWESOME! Me and Jack have alot of fun with that one.
Granny sent some treats. Jack really liked these. He added a couple other important ingredients, chocolate syrup, banana, sugar. He was being too quiet, so I went to check on him, and he was sitting in front of this.
The mess.
After the kids started to wind down in the living room, Mommy started screaming in excitement from the tile room. I thought she hurt herself. We all ran in there to see what was the matter. Some things were too heavy for santa to be dragging all around the house, apparently.
Jack has been practicing every day. He is pretty excited about this. Grace gets behind them every once in awhile, too.
Lucy and Mindy were on his good list too.

Happy Birthday, Jesus! WHOOHEE!!
We started a new tradition this year, shamesly ripped from the Christian evangelist, megachurch dude. I forgot his name now, but he hosted Barak Obama, and John McCain at his church for a few questions. That dude. Anyway, his familly always has a birthday party on Christmas eve, for Jesus. It seemed like a good idea, having kids and all. They like birthdays. Happy Birthday, Bro. We started off by making cookies for Santa, (cause Santa and Mrs. Clause really like cookies ;) ) Here are Grace's
Jack's cookies for Santa.
Jack really liked his beautiful cookie. He just stared in amazement for a few minutes at his creation.
Grace took her time. Santa must be impressed!
Eating cake for Jesus, ya! We are gonna leave a piece of this for Santa, too.
Then, Mom read the Christmas story to a captive audience.
Here's THE book. The pictures are Great.
Now, time for opening a present. Each kid opens 1 present. 3 kids, 3 wise men. Im sure they wish there were more wise men, so they could open more presents. Jack had no problem picking which present he wanted to open. The biggest, of course. He thought it was going to be a 200 piece Magnetix box. He couldnt wait to open it. Nothing could be better than getting a 200 piece Magnetix. Until he opened it, and found something that was the most bestest ever! 
Grace had a hard time picking a present to open. Every one she picked up was either Luke's or Jack's. Finally, Mommy went and set out a few for her. She picked from the Grace pile.
My boy! 
Luke had a little help opening this one. He is very interested in it. We know this by the jerky motions and drool.
Aunt Videt, and Uncle Dave hit a home run with this one. When we were in La. for Thanksgiving, they saw Jack looking through a magazine, and circling the things he wanted. He got very excited about a pinball game, and they both knew what to do.. They beat us to it lol. It is AWESOME! Very well constructed, and if Jack (when) Jack breaks any pieces, they are easy to replicate. Its all simple woodwork. He is very very very very excited.
Jack has wanted a pinball game for a long time now. This was the most exciting point of the night, if you can imagine.
Grace was very excited to get a crafty project. These never get old. She says she doesnt know how to smile, so I said "Pooh, and butt", and such things to make her smile, but she moved around too much, laughing, and all those pictures were blurry.

Update. Getting ready for Xmas
This poor little tree. Its been kicked around for a few years now. We had it in Louisiana. Maybe it will get a break in 5 years. The kids like putting the ornaments on. We've had the same ornaments for a few years too. They are indestructable. We get a new ornament each year to represent an important thing that happened. We thought maybe a baby would be a good one for this year, since we had a baby and everything. Grace is thinking a little black lab would be a better one. (We got a black lab/basset hound mut from the shelter named Mindy). I guess the dog is more exciting.
Jack is constantly trying to make people laugh. I love that about him. He is an entertainer.
He found a ball of yarn that Granny left here, and took the pads out of his bike helmet for this disguise. I didnt know who it was.
Poor Raegan took a some pictures, trying to get one for a christmas card. Id post them all, but its too many. The progression was funny. Grace got aggravated at her brothers for not acting right, then touching her. Jack was a clown, and Luke pretty much just laughed at Jack the entire time.
Luke started eating rice last week. This one is mixed with mommy milk. He eats once or twice a day now. I mix the rice with applesauce too.
Here is what I mean by Luke laughing at everything Jack does. Jack experiments to see if he can get a different reaction, but that little guy just thinks Jack is the greatest toy ever.

Another mouth to feed
Grace has waited for this day for many months. She has read every Guinea Pig book at both her school library, and the local public library. Im sure she has checked them out thouroughly online as well.
Luke says, "Happy Birthday, sis". He shows affection by stretching his tongue as far as he can. Kiss Army recruit maybe.
Cut the damn cake, allready!
Grace gets the first piece!
This stuff came in today, from Granny, and aunt Stacy! Grace says, "Thanks, yo!"
Meet Brownie. She picked this guy out of many. He is very funny. These things make sounds just like pigs. She got the new Ice Age DVD, and a couple of books as well. All in all, she had a good day.
