More Ella-isms...

So on Monday night we went to DQ after supper for Jayme's b-day. We all had our treats and were in our booth backing on to the area where people line up to order. There was a middle age guy come in and line up, he's right by us, and is kinda watching the kids, cause they are cute and all :). (but not in a creepy way).

So Ella turns and notices this guy glancing at us, turns around and says in a loud voice, gesturing to the man, "Mom, is this guy bugging us?"

I was so embarrassed, and so was this guy. I don't know to laugh or what. I loudly told Ella "No" and that was rude what she said. and the moment was over. but I still laugh and feel embarrassed. What are kids for eh?

Life Lately

So I know, i'm a really bad blogger... sorry! I have a few things I like to do/update on the net (spark people, Facebook, another WL blog..) and this one sometimes (most times) gets bumped to the bottom of the list. I figure anybody who reads this, also reads FB so they know the general scoop around the Gibb household.

So Jayme broke his foot about 4 weeks ago, and has been off work since then. Normal this would be my dream, but he can't do anything! Most "honey-do" things require that he walk or be able to stand, which he can't do, yet. (we he can with crutches) What he can do is parent though so i've been a bit more free to get things done or can run just one kid to pre-school with out having to do up and undo 3 sets of car seats every time. I can grocery shop in peace, which is wonderful! But on the same hand we seem to be going thru alot more grocers these days! It's nice to have another adult around as well. I definitely enjoy that!

The girls are still loving pre-school and Ella can't wait for kindergarden. We picked up her registration form and she thought she could stay there and go to kindergarten that day.. sorry sweetie.. I've registered Keera for pre-school again next year, but just one day aweek again. The cost factor was a major deciding factor. I figure having Ella gone full days, every other day will help with the caos most days + I hope to still be going to the gym regularly as well and all the kids enjoy the child-minding there.

Jett just celebrated his second b-day. I find it hard to believe my 'baby' is 2 already. I am kinda understanding how the baby of the family always stays the baby. He's quite a little boy and just loves trucks, trains ect.

We're quite looking forward to the summer and doing some camping, enjoying sunshine ect. All those fun summer things.

Kid-isms

Me: "Ella you are really pressing Mommies buttons this morning!!"
Ella: "What buttons mom, where are the buttons mom, I don't know where the buttons are mom"

Ella: "Mom where does milk come from?"
Me: "From cows"
Ella: "Cow's pee milk????"
Me: "ummm no."

Jett was trying out big boy undies this morning, and stayed dry for 1.5h. When he did finally pee (in his undies) it dribbled down in to his slipper. I got him all changed up, took the slippers off ect. A while later I go to use the washroom, and what do I find? His slippers in the garbage. Guess he didn't want to wear pee'd on slippers, lol (the slippers have now been washed)

After Keera watched a mini-pops type commercial, grabbed a laundry basket, flipped it over, got on it and started to shaker her th'ang and try and sing. "That's not my name" song (don't know what it's called)

After Ella was on the potty for a while "Nope the pooh's sleeping in my body still"

Ella singing I'm a Child of God..
"and parents kind of dear"
(should be "and parents kind and dear")



It's been one of those weeks that i'm trying to focus on the 'good things' :)

Opps...

So, it's been awhile, what can I say, it was pre-Christmas, then Christmas, then New Years Eve, then January and Jay was gone for 2 weeks, and well.. those are my excuses. Oh and the fact that I have 3 kids at home also play a bit in to my stagnate posts.
So nothing really is new, the kids are growing and busy busy. I think Ella is really getting ready for school (to be away from Mom, lol) It will be good for her to be more busy. Keera and Jett are good/the same. He hasn't really started saying a whole lot of words, but I could probably count 10-15 that he can/has said. He's gotten 2 of his 2y molars, those few weeks were fun with Mr. grumpy pants :)

Jayme's been working lots, which is good, but hard on me. I have to keep remembering he's providing for our family, but still, a girl needs a break once in a while. Our cruise just less than 3months ago already seems like a distant, distant memory. Nothing big really planned in the near future. I have in my head we might watch for deals to Vegas in the fall, but it hinges on time off, price, someone to watch the kids etc.

I feel like this is kinda boring, sorry! My mind is shutting down, i'm tired and I think i'm going to veg in front of the tube and eat my chocolate bar.

Family Pics

My friend Jen did this on her blog a few days ago and I liked it.. and seems I haven't been a good blogger lately.. here goes..



Outside my window... I see our deck stairs and weeds..


I am thankful for.... my husband being home today! (goes back to work tomorrow)


I am praying ... that I can do my best in my calling as Relief Society Pres!


I am celebrating... Jett turning 18m today (and officially in nursery!) and my brother Wes's 35th birthday, happy birthday bro!


From the kitchen ...yikes.. lets not go there (it's actually not tooo bad today, but I am getting really tired of doing dishes day in day out, several times a day)


I am reading... nothing, well do blogs count?


I am hoping.... that Jett doesn't wake up tomorrow at 6:30am... AGAIN.


I am hearing .... Jett crying, and the Backyardigains


I am creating.... stuff for my first 'craft sale' next weekend.


Around the house and yard... again.. I'm not going to go there.. well the foyer is really nice as I finally broke down and cleaned/organized the closet and made a 'kid station' with coat rack, shoe rack and magnet board for pre-school crafts.


One of my favorite things.... is dreaming of my cruise in 30+ days


A few plans for the rest of the week ... prepping for the RS dinner on sat, sewing, crafting. Oh and the girls go to the dentist on wed. Ella's 2nd time and Keera's first.

Here is a picture... of the birthday boy's..

Before I hit the one month mark...

...of time in between posts (bad blogger Lara, bad).. Why not a post? Hmm what could I post on ... hey what about back to 'school', that happened at the Gibb house this week! This is Ella's second year and Keera's first. Keera was sooo excited this morning, even had breakfast with her backpack beside her on the table! She went right in to the school and as soon as she saw the teachers and kids gave a big "HI" and a wave.. it was pretty cute. She had no hesitation when I left. She made an apple/worm craft and brought home her first library book.

Ella was gung ho also for school, and was pretty excited to see her teachers and school friends. I hope/assume there are kids from her last year class, I did recognize some Mom's so that's a good sign. So I will start the 'driving phase' of Motherhood.. bad thing is I think this last until Ella is old enough to drive, so only say...11.5 years. Ella goes 2x a week and Keera 1x, so 3 days a week we are driving to 'school'.

Cant' forget about our other child, Mr. Jett. He got his diaper 1/2 off today and was quite impressed with himself and I had to chase him to get it done up again. Then again outside, but this time I think it just came loose, as the Velcro was still done up, but the front part of the diaper slipped down, maybe from the weight of his 'business' (it was almost bath time, so I was not wanting to waste a clean diaper on 15min) again he thought this was quite funny. He's also funny in that he LOVES getting his ears cleaned! He was staying away from me (because I was calling him) and as soon as I showed him the q-tip... he came running to me. Funny Lad.
