Dozer

So one of our many names for Breckin is dozer as in bull dozer because he uses his head to doze anything or anyONE around. Tonight at bed time we were reading one of his favorite books, "Good Night, Good Night, Construction Sight" (very cute book by the way). We get to the page where it talks about the bull dozer going to bed and he just starts rambling on and making all these pouty faces and rolling his eyes with big huffs and puffs of his breath. He says, bull dozer pushed me! And my room! He keeps repeating it and then he says in a serious voice, my daddy pushed bull dozer. I asked him was it a toy bull dozer (thinking that maybe someone used a toy and pushed him) or was it a real bull dozer? He said a real bull dozer pushed me and my room. He just kept repeating himself. It was seriously one of the cutest conversations I've had with Breckin. He is talking so much and he is showing his imaginative side so much more. I just love that crazy kid!

Work it GURL!

So Savannah is in her third year of dance, I was so excited when she turned three and could start dancing at a studio. This is her first year being on a competition team. I am so excited for her...so maybe I live a little through my daughter. I just want her to have endless possibilities when she gets older. She is really excited and wants to win a purple trophy. Anyways I was able to catch a few pictures at her last class since my niece, Ammelia was there to help with Ella. Some days it would be great to have a nanny just so I am able to take pictures of my kids:) Savannah loves dancing at Devotion Dance Acadamy.

A few of my favorite things....

Savannah is getting so old! I love her so much. She is so helpful with Breckin and Ella, that is when her and Breckin are not fighting:) She still loves to wrestle with her Daddy and loves to shop with me. She loves going on dates without the other kids. She just got into the 100 club at school because she was able to count to 100 by herself. She is doing great with her reading and school work. I just love to listen to her socialize with friends, she is so dramatic!
Breckin has been getting help with his speech and he has improved so much! He is becoming much more social and he still loves car cars but now has a new love of Spider-Man. He said his name for the first time today, I was so proud of him and he now knows about five animals and there sounds. He is such a boy but we wouldn't trade this handsome little guy!
Ella is almost eleven months and she is so busy! She disappears and takes off up the stairs so fast! She loves to get attention since she doesn't get much because the other two crazy kids. She has been such a happy baby and we love her dearly.

Miss Ella Reese

I feel like I have done a horrible job blogging and taking pictures of Ella. We have been so busy with three kids. It seems like every week some one is sick. Ella will be ten months old on January 14th. She is growing so fast, I feel like I miss so many of her first because I am dealing with other kids (whom I love). I guess when you are the third child you are used to not getting all the attention. Probably a month ago she started saying momma and about a week ago started saying Dada. She loves her sister and brother so much, they always make her smile. Breckin calls her sissy, he made that up all on his own. This morning I was folding clothes and he pointed out sissy's pile. I thought it was pretty cute that he recognizes her clothes. Ella has been such an angel and good baby but the wildness is starting to kick in! She no longer will sit still church and she is all over the place at home. I put her in the bath tub for the first time today with out any assistance from me or her baby tub. She absolutely loved it, she was screaming happy screams and splashing all over. We love our little miss.

Sweet Moments with Breckin This Week

- Laying under the warm, clean towels with Breckin. He just giggled and thought it was awesome.
- Trying to teach Breckin to say "one, two, three". Instead he would say "one, two, one" and just bust out laughing, he knew he was saying it wrong and thought it was so funny.
- Watching Breckin take care of his little sissy, Ella. He loves her to death. I think they will be best friends when they get holder.
- Just hearing him say new words, it just melts your heart. Especially, "ok momma".

Let it Snow!

We have had quite a bit of snow this year but have been to busy to play in it so we got our snow gear on. We didn't last long since Savannah couldn't find her good gloves that keep her hands dry and Breckin just doesn't have any, they are so hard to find in toddler size.

Breckin had a hard time getting up from the snow.

He was so happy to be on two feet again.

One of her favorite things is making snow angels.

His big gloves

Having a treat always makes for a smile.

Mexico Cruise

Jeremy and I celebrated our tenth anniversary by going on a cruise. This actually was our first time cruising. It was an awesome time! We did lots of things at port, things I probably wouldn't normally do. We left Long Beach and went to Cabo San Lucas for two days and them Puerto Vallarta for a day and then back to Long Beach where we drove home. It was a seven day cruise, we ate way too much fun while on the boat, there was food everywhere. I got sick of the food but still kept eating it because it was there. The food is your normal buffet quality. Jeremy and I did enjoy the ice cream machines way too much! Oh and the plate of cookies from room service, I ate way too many cookies! The first day in Cabo we rented this ghetto scooter and drove to the beach and just about got hit only like twice. Jeremy definitely needs to polish his scooter skills:) We ate at this little place on the pier, we had nachos. I know very authentic! They were really good though. The second day we rented a wave runner and that was more scary than I thought it would be only because we were riding next to the huge cruise ship and it made you feel lie you were about to be swallowed up by a whale! I loved the times that we just laid out in the sun on the ships balconies and sipped on our virgin drinks. In Puerto Vallarta we did this jungle zip line tour. Oh my goodness can we just say hot,hot, hot! It was so humid! It was probably my favorite thing that we did, I was pretty proud of myself for doing it! We were excited to get home because we missed our kids but we were ready for another cruise after being home a few days! We are definitely doing this soon but with the kids!

There were tons of these flying fish!

 It was so fun to watch them from our balcony.
