Jazmine's Big Day!!!

She got her ears pierced today!!!!! She looks sooo cute!!!!

Jazmine's Favorite Song

This is Jazmine's current song obsession for some reason. She has to listen to it constantly. She loves to sing and dance to it. Forgive me the long videos. You may not enjoy it as much as I, but it melts my heart and makes me smile and laugh every single time!! Especially when she gets sidetracked by daddy's dirty socks! :)

Bike Riding

Here is Jazzie enjoying some bike riding time with Daddy. She really is getting good!!

So You Think You Can Dance

The children LOVE to watch that show with me whenever I DVR it. And I am almost as entertained by them as the show. :) Forgive me for lack of sound, as my good video camera is unavailable right now, but here are a couple snapshots of what the living room looks like when we watch it together....LOL!

Poem by Erma Bombeck

I see children as kites
You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.
You run with them until you
are both breathless...
They crash...
You add a larger tail...
They hit the rooftop...
You pluck them out of the spout.
You patch and comfort, adjust and teach
You watch them lifted by the wind
and assure them that someday
they'll fly
Finally they are airborne, but they
need more string and
you keep letting it out.
With each twist of the ball of twine,
There is a sadness that goes with the joy,
because the kite becomes more distant.
And somehow you know that it won't be long
Before that beautiful creature will snap
the lifeline that bound you together
And soar free and alone.
Only then do you know that
you did your job.

~Erma L. Bombeck

Finger Painting Fun

I finally swallowed my clean freak pride, and got Isaac some Crayola Fingerpaints for his birthday. The weather was gorgeous, so we had some fun out on the patio. Isaac was fascinated, and poor Jazmine had to clean her hands in between every time she touched paint and "painted" something. They are both so cute, and they loved it!! (And for those mommies out there...these paints are awesome! Literally wiped right off of the kids, and came out of their clothes in the wash even though I didn't wash them til the next day!!)
