Happy Friday

Wow, December 4th was the last time I posted. Guess I'll have to update you all. So that means some photos, plus it's Photostory Friday.

The biggest reason for my absence was that I was down with the flu for 5 days. I'll spare the gory details of that.

Last Saturday we went with my Sister, Niece, Mom and Step-Dad to see Elmo. Simon had a great time!

Simon and Ali enjoying some pre-show Cheerios

Simon sneaking up to one of the beepy nose guys to get a hug. He's the little guy right up there in the boots.

My boys took a bath.
Actually the reason this touched me so much is because Simon adores his big 'Broher'. Simon asked his Broher if he would take a bath with him and Alex agreed. They act just how I would hope my boys would act together. I hope they don't ever grow out of this friendship.
Tonight is Taylor's first Semi-Formal. Here she is with Dad and Simon. I'm glad her mom's boyfriend's niece has a ton of dresses for her to pick from, so we didn't have to get a new one.
I got to do her hair!

Yea, for Step-Mom of the Year!

And I think that about wraps it up. Maybe a little more Christmas shopping this weekend. Hopefully just laying around. Since I've been sick I haven't gotten to do a whole lot. I'd like to get back to my book. I've just been too goofy in the head to even focus on it. (Spare me the comments please, Staci.;))

Have a good weekend.

Happy Halloween

Here's what we did today......

Jeff Hardy won some WWE belt thing and celebrated his victory on top of his desk

Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus were in the same room at the same time proving that they are indeed 2 separate people!
We had a rare siting of a pretty ballerina in our living room for a brief second and then she was off to terrorize the town.
Peter Pan won 1st place in the local costume contest for preschoolers. He is seen here with his girlfriend the princess. (They hugged earlier in the night when we were out trick-or-treating but I didn't have the camera on.)
The Hardy Brothers made an appearance at the local Halloween party! The fans went wild...check out the cowgirl next to Jeff. She was in awwe.

An over abundance of candy was gathered tonight. (Notice the chocolate is separated from all the other candy. This way everything doesn't end up tasting like stale chocolate.)

Causing this little fella to eat way tooooo much.

I hope that you all had a wonderful Halloween.

PSF: "Quick, Lets Run From Mom Before She Takes Our Picture!"

Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

The other night I was trying to take some photos of Alex eating a banana. Don't know why really, I just thought it might be nice.

Well, he got the brilliant idea to start doing this....
And this.....
So by this time I am yelling laughing, as is Alex, so Simon comes to see what is so stinkin' funny. Big Broder tells him to run before mom can take a picture and then Simon gets in on the fun by doing this.....
Which I must say is actually an awesome photo. I sometimes like the blurish photos. So the fun kept going.....
And going....
But then we started to bother Dad.....
So we went to the bedroom....
I did trick them though and got this photo before they could run away....

Photostory Friday

I'm just all about trying something new these days. The wonderful women at What Works For Us (Cecily and MamaGeek) host Photostory Friday. The rules are to post pictures that you took and describe why you took them.

Here's what we did today:

Simon always is quick to grab his 'toy of the day' when the camera came out. Buzz and Woody were it today, and they just needed to be photographed. I just love how innocent Simon is. He is a very lovable little guy and loves to play. He's quickly becoming my best friend. I convinced him today that he should be my friend...I had to break out the tears and bottom lip though.
How could you not love those blue eyes?
Of course Simon loves to see me in the display on the camera. He's always quick to wave to the camera and say, "Hi, Mom."
When he saw this photo of himself he said, "Simon's silly." I want these memories of his younger years to stay fresh in my mind. We have a lot of fun together during the day. I'm glad I have the job I do so I can stay home with him.

And last but not least, I wanted to photo his normal attire these days. Diaper and socks. He could have goosebumps and be saying, "Simon chilly", but he wants his 'belly' to be out and free. He's crazy.
Hopefully since this is my first Photostory Friday I've completed the task as required, if not, oh well. Live goes on. I enjoyed taking these shots and spending time with my little guy.
