Preschool 1-16-13

The class was really small that day.  I guess there are a lot of kids sick right now.

Lincoln put the spider on Mommy's head.

After music time we made a bird feeder.

Lincoln did really well with his. 

The finished product!

Preschool 1-11-13

This is one of the hottest toys at preschool.  I remember Lincoln always liking it when he was Harrison's age too.

Harrison didn't want to share with Vayda Mae.

Time to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider.

Harrison thought Ms. Diane needed a little help.

All the kids love playing the sticks.

I look crazy but Harrison loves seeing himself in the phone.

This is our painting of snow.  Harrison was more interested in tasting the paint than putting it on the paper.

Preschool 1-9-13

Lincoln and Mommy during music time.

He look so tired.

Lincoln wanted to get his spider and run around the room instead of singing with everyone.  This was not acceptable to me.  We had a little talk out in the hall and came back and sat down.

Lincoln didn't care anything about making the snowman until we got to the paint part so I had to do it.  I totally messed up the scarf and made it look more like a tie.  I also forgot to draw arms :)

BayBee Elluh

Isn't my niece just beautiful?!

Anytime Lincoln see's a picture of Ella he will say "Baybee Elluh".  It is absolutely adorable!  My sister sent me this picture last week and I had to share it with the world.  I love her hair!

Falcons vs. Seahawks 1/13/13

Sunday morning started off bright and early at 5am.  I got in the shower and got ready while Christian loaded up the rest of the stuff in the tailgate van.  By 6am our friends, Jamie and AnnMarie were at our house and ready to go.  We headed to Christian's Moms to pick up four more passenger and pick up other two up on our way to Atlanta.  Everyone was pumped about the game to say the least.  When we finally got to Atlanta we set up the tailgate and relaxed for the next few hours.

Our group

Doug wore his jorts for the special occassion.  Haha!  He did change halfway through the tailgate because several people were asking if he was gay.

Freddie the falcon also made an appearance at our tailgate!

About 12:15 we pack up everything and started toward the dome.  There was suppose to be some kind of special show at 12:30 before the game.  I didn't notice anything different but maybe it took us a little longer to get in the stadium than I thought.

The dome was rockin!  You could feel the excitement in the crowd.  At halftime the Falcons had the lead at 20-0.  I was feeling a little more confident about the game but still not ready to say we were going to win.  Everyone else kept talking about the next game and their plans.  I was too scared to say for sure.  After halftime it was like the Falcons didn't want to play anymore.  With 31 seconds left the Seahawks scored their final touchdown to put them in the lead 28-27.  I was devasted!  Thankfully, the Falcons didn't hang their head in shame and give up.  Matt Ryan made a 29 yard pass to Harry Douglas and then Coach Smith called a time out.  Ryan made his final pass to Tony Gonzalez (my favorite) and put us in field goal range with 13 seconds left on the clock.  Just before the ball was snapped the Seahawks tried to ice Bryant.  I am so thankful they did because Bryant missed the first kick.  Thankfully the second kick sailed right through the uprights and gave the Falcons the lead with less than 10 seconds left on the clock.  The Falcons had finally won a playoff game under Coach Mike Smith.  The dome went crazy!!  Everyone was jumping and yelling.  Of the three game we have actually made it to this year that have won them all in the last 10 seconds.

We had a horrible trip home that evening.  It started pouring rain and the van clearly needed new wipers.  I could barely make out the lines on the road.  My nerves were shot by the time we got home.  We are all looking forward the NFC championship this Sunday.  Hopefully we will win and get to go to the SUPERBOWL!!!  Christian and I have decided we are going to LA if the Falcons go.  We have family that we can stay with and at least be close.  If people didn't want a million dollars for tickets maybe we could afford to go to the game.

Harrison's Preschool Christmas Party

My sweet H-Man was ready to party.  Majority of the time he is the only boy in the class and I think he knows it. :)  Just like with Lincoln's party we were suppose to bring a snack and a $5 wrapped book.

Presley and Cole playing with the bus.

Time to eat!  My child devoured his food!  He actually stole a few bits of food off the plates of the kids sitting next to him.

This was the really the first time I have giving him a whole chicken nugget and he loved it!

He looks really thrilled to get a picture with Mommy.

Group Shot...I just realized no one is looking at me.

Harrison wanted Ms. Diane to hold him.

Time to give Ms. Diane her present.

Harrison wanted to show her how to use it. :)

Lincoln's Preschool Christmas Party

Lincoln's class had a great party this year.  There wasn't as many people as their normally is in class but we all still had a great time.  Everyone was suppose to sign up to bring some kind of snack and a wrapped $5 book.  Thankfully i didn't for get this year like I did last.

How adorable are these cupcakes?

Lorelei got the book we brought.

Lincoln giving Ms. Diane a hug and her present.

The book on the left is from Ms. Diane and the book on the right is the one Lincoln got in the exchange.
