Small Things To Remember....

Time to freeze a few memories in time. I wanted to jot down a few things about the kids as of lately, so that I would always remember the little things :-)

{ Miss Bella }

* Loves playing board games like Pretty Pretty Princess, Trouble and Chutes & Ladders

* Sings a hilarious rendition of "Hey Diddle Diddle" that cracks us up

* Is obsessed with drawing, painting and coloring. She could do it for hours.

* She told John the other night {I was gone at bible study with my girlfriends} that when she grows up she wants to "be a nurse and a mommy and go to bible study". Hmm... watching her mom closely perhaps? I melted when I got home and John told me.

* She gasps with delight every time we pass the Barbie aisle at Target. It never gets old to her.

* She loves cheeseburgers. And every time we ask her for her order, she tells us "a hamburger with cheese on the top and steak on the bottom. And no sauce."

* Still loves to be a nudist at home. Or run around in just underwear.

* Still petrified of people in animal costumes. She freaked out at a birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese when "Chuck-E" appeared. And she still won't step foot in Red Robin ever since she saw the bird costume.

* L-O-V-E-S ballet. She loves twirling and frolicking :-)

* She's getting very accustomed to people commenting on her hair. Whenever someone stops her and compliments her curls or tells her how beautiful her hair is, she now answers with "I know." So modest and humble! :-)

{ Mr. Ty }

* Wakes his sister up every morning by going in her room, turning on the light, and crawling into her bed.

* Whenever he tries to sneak a snack from the pantry, he announces that he is "getting one for tyler and one for bella", and he brings her one!

* Tells us exactly what he wants, then asks and answers it himself. For example, he says

"I want to get ice cream, ok? Ok! "

* Eats like a bottomless pit, and yet looks skinnier and taller every day.

* Loves hiding in "tents" {when he puts a blanket over his head}

* Has learned about his "boy parts" and tells us what they are every day :-)

* Has has the cutest little voice when he says, "Mommy I hungry".

* He is still a dancing machine.

* Loves having both mom and dad tuck him in at night. He especially loves it when we kiss both his cheeks at the same time.

** And John and I still think we are the luckiest, most blessed two people on earth :-) **
