The Christmas Frenzy!

Matthew's Besta (grandma) in Norway got him this really cool hoodie that you can remove the hood, if you need to. Matthew LOVES Mickey!

Rebecca's Besta (grandma) in Norway MADE, let me say, MADE her this dress!!! Roy and I got this silk fabric in China when we got Matthew. It's a perfect fit beings that we didn't tell her any sizes for Rebecca!!!! Thank you so much Mom!!!

Love opening gifts!

Oh my gosh, if Batman were in the house, Matthew would have thought he died and went to Heaven! He LOVES Batman! Anything Batman! Absolutely anything! His Batmobile car was thee biggest hit at Christmas! He literally stopped opening gifts after he got that! (gotta love kids's mentality)

Matthew's 4th Birthday Party!

Matthew's Diego party was a hoot! The kids came hungry and they made their own little pizza's, anyway they wanted to make them! They thought that was so neat, they went to town on them and ate them up! Matthew LOVES, LOVES pizza. We did the pinata thing and the kids had bags to fill and they had fun filling up their bags! Matthew's gifts were a hit with him but he was totally mesmerized with a gift that Miss Toni and Mr. Bill gave to him. It's the tower of cars! I mean, A TOWER!!! Take a look at his face! Pictures are worth a 1000 words!!!!! Enjoy!

In the spirit of the season.

Just Stuff..............Pictures and Happy Thanksgiving

Can you guess whose vests are who's????? Give you a hint.....the more badges, the longer she's stayed in AWANAs!

I couldn't figure out what to call it, so I just said that what I would talk about is STUFF.

Well, Matthew is doing better. For those who don't know, he's been FULL of spots (they look like chicken pox, but its not) for about 2 months now. He itches them until they bleed. We've been to the allergist and his pediatrician. First they said it was nothing. Then it was bug bites (fleas). EXCUSE ME?!?! Where? NOT MY HOUSE! Then they said it was sand fleas. (Matthew did play in sand for a bit) Then they said it was chiggers and then scabies. Maybe a virus. Maybe.....Maybe......yeah. Let's just say by this Monday, if his spots aren't truly gone? We head to the dermatologist. He's taking oral medication now. (Cexphalexon?) The last thing the pediatrician said was they thought it was scabies and after the treatment for it, because he scratched himself silly, he got a bacterial infection. (????) Yeah, ok. we'll see.

Becca Boo? Still her feisty, procrastinating, divafied self. No change there. I do have to say though, I see little changes in her now. She actually stops and thinks about things before asking questions or doing something. It's kinda neat to see. She's bummed out that there is no AWANAs tonight. (me too, *giggling*) Roy, me and Becca had the 24 hourish stomach bug over the weekend and it was BAD! But thank goodness we are okie dokie now!!!! Becca was funny though. She'd say, I'm hungry, daddy would say not yet because your tummy is upset. Rebecca would say, But daddy, my tummy is upset but food will make it better, honest. hehehehe.....*s* (Mommy thinking, oh yeah.......I can't keep food down, and you think you can?!) She was just funny!

Anyway, just wanted to wish you guys who read our blog, and there are apparently A WHOLE LOT OF YOU!!!!!!!!!! Happy Thanksgiving! Remember, take the time to thank God for all that you have. I know I do! ;o)

MATTHEW HAS A BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!!!!

Guess who woke up this morning saying, "Is it my birsday?" (he has no TH yet, so it's birsday) YEP! Today our handsome, funky haired boy is 4 years old! HALLELUJAH LORD! To think that this day may not have come if not for his parents, or someone placing him at the marketplace to be found, alive, to be at an orphanage for us to see him.............OH wow..........Lord, perfect timing! That's all I can say. PERFECT TIMING!

Matthew is 4 today and so cute! He flung off his covers today once he knew it was his birthday and proceeded to DANCE all over his room! *look out Ms. Tina, Matthew's loaded today!* (Ms. Tina is his daycare provider! She goes to our church.)

He has cupcakes to take to his daycare for everyone to enjoy! But....his big birthday party is this Saturday! DIEGO PARTY!

Matthew, Happy Birthday big boy! Daddy and Momma love you! ;o)

Happy Halloween.... uh belated that is.....

Here are the kiddos in their halloween giddiup....


When Matthew saw the doctor costume he immediately wanted to dress up as his hero.... Dr. Murthy.


Rebecca wanted to be a cheer leader and we were lucky enough to find a costume for her in her size.

The 5 Year Old Doctor visit................

Oh boy do we have news on Miss Becca Boo! She went to the pediatrician on Friday for her 5 year old check up and yes, she did get a shot (flu shot), but out of all of that, she GREW! She grew 2 inches (which for her is non too short of a MIRACLE) and has only gained in one year, 1 1/2 pounds! YES! YES! She is 37 inches high. She's trying to catch up to Matthew, I think. Matthew is much taller than Becca. He's going to be tall. No doubt about it. Yao Ming, watch out buddy! ;o) Other than that, Becca is tiddering between a 4T shirt and 3T pants. Although, I just got her some needed clothes at Kohl's and they are size XS girls sizes. (4/5) They fit perfectly.

Both of our kids have a birthday within like 2 monthes of one another. Matthew's is coming up. Becca and Matthew both LOVE, I mean, LOVE soccer! They have their own soccer balls, own shin pads, cones to play..........Becca is my hardcore PLAYA! I'm going to have to enroll them in soccer next year! BUT.............they also like "hi ya" (aka, karate). They have seen other's do taikwando and karate and they are fascinated by that as well. OH YEAH.........Becca wants to be a cheerleader for the local little boys football club here in town! *oh good grief* She loves how they "dress up" (very girlie like with the bobsie hair and ribbons in the hair, etc.) and cheer. She wants her hair to now grow longer! We'll see. We've tried this before. (before she decided to cut off one side of her hair!)

Matthew goes to the pediatrician next month. He'll be getting shots as well. (still playing catch up with him) He's my snicker boy! Always snickering (just like his momma) and always waking up ready to go. Don't get me wrong. He's a daddy's boy, but he loves his momma too!

Awana has started up again and this time Matthew is going. He is trying hard to remember his bible verses. He's doing a good job. He's not exactly where Becca is, she has a memory like I don't know what! (sometimes for the good, sometimes for the bad) Matthew likes learning about God. He comes home all excited and tells me what he did and what they went through in his Cubbie book, what songs they did, then sings those songs for me.............it's the best feeling in the world when he does things like that. He really loves to learn. He's doing so well with his speech therapist! He really buckles down to learn how to say words. He's working on his S's, N's and F's right now. (mega hard one's for him)

Other than that, Mom and Dad are hanging out, doing our thing. Went to the Redskin game this past Sunday and watched them lose. *good grief* Momma's hoping Daddy can get RAVENS tickets soon. :o)
