Crawling already!

Anna is officially mobile! She started crawling everywhere last night. It was like a light switch went on and she was on the go.

It just happened to be that she started crawling on her Daddy's birthday.
Happy Birthday Daddy! We love you!

Sorry So long but in the end SNOW!!!!!

Ok so I'm sorry it's taken so long to post, but just too much going on! Hopefully this post will update you a everything really quickly. But in no particular order....

Jay has been named the "Victorious Viking" for his class @ FVES for the month of March. His teacher chooses the student who shows the best behavior for each month. She called me on a Friday afternoon, so I figured, "Oh great what did he do now?!?!" But she immediately said, "This is a good call!" She also said that he is the first Boy in his class to receive this award this year. He'll have a special lunch on Wednesday, where he'll be named the "Victorious Viking"! We're really proud of him!
Anna is starting to crawl and scooting around everywhere. But she still isn't rolling over. Still seems to have no interest. Already teaching Jay that she likes his stuff!
Jay lost another tooth. And got a two thumbs up from the dentist.
Sheryl, Ben, & Charlie Haze came to visit. CH is getting so big!
When I dropped Jay off for school last Tuesday, he said, "Mom I forgot to tell you, the best thing ever happened yesterday!" I said, what did Ms. Shirley announce to the class that you're the Victorious Viking for March? He said, "NO even better, "RILEY MILLER IS BACK!!!" For those of you who remember she was Jay's "Friend Girl" last year. He said she' s still the prettiest girl in the school!
Jay stayed on the "green" light ALL month long. The whole month of Feb! WOW!!! So he was treated with a trip to the movies and sleep over with Clark & Carter.

Now to the SNOW!!!! First of all Jay heard James Spann say (during the tornado outbreak on Friday) that West Alabama should at least have a dusting of snow on Saturday night/Sunday morning. So at 5 pm the boys started asking me & Dave when it was going to start snowing. Let me tell you that got old after 3 or 4 times from all 3 boys in 4 hrs. Well, I woke up around 6:15-6:30 to see that the ground was already covered and it was snowing hard. So I wake up Dave and then go get the boys up! They were so excited! Jay said it was so much snow it was a Blizzard! Anna on the other hand was not that impressed. She was much happier inside watching everyone outside. Here's a few pics of the kids enjoying the "Blizzard"!

This is after Delaune nailed Jay right in the middle of his face.
He had snow everywhere! haha Good aim Delaune!

Dave did it!

This weekend, we did something I thought Dave would never be for. He decided that we needed to get Anna's ears pierced.

The actually story is, we had taken her to get new shoes. She had on a shirt with ruffled sleeves and a pink bib. And we were trying on only pink shoes. After we chose some really cute pink Nikes, the salesman asked me, "Do you want to put his shoes on him before you take him out?" Without any hesitation I said, "Yes, I'll put her shoes on her before we leave!" We walk out the door and Dave's first words are, "Where is the best place to get her ear's pierced?" So we went to Claire's. Luckily enough she only cried while being held down. And yes, Dave picked out Pink earrings.

Alicia

Ok so on the FYI, I left someone off. Someone that I thought everyone knew about. Someone that to me needs no announcing.

That being, Alicia.

Alicia is one of my best friends and also one of my hubby's best friends. She is by far part of our family. The kiddos love her and she loves them.

She knows that I love her dearly and wouldn't trade her for anything. She knows when I need her to listen and she knows when I need her to calm me down. Most of the time she knows what I'm thinking before I do and vice versa! hahaha

So here's my tribute to ALICIA!!!! I love you girl!

FYI

Ok, so since this is a new blog, I want to give you a list of what some things are and mean. I will randomly update the FYI!

The Hunt's: Ken, Jill, Jennifer, Kenny, & Katherine.
Ken is Dave's boss.
Jill is our babysitter. The most understanding one ever. Even gets Jay from school!

The Fannings: Delaune, Matthew, Clark, & Carter
Delaune is one of my best friends & Clark is Jay's best friend. We spend lots of time with Fannings or with

The Quilliams: Markus, Pammie, Barrett, & Sydney. & Angie (Markus' Twin Sister)

TKD: TaeKwonDo

FVES:

Faucett-Vestavia Elementary School

The Pub:

Publix

The Mental Institution: The UA Dept of Art (My job) Haha

Ok so right now I can't think of anymore, but I'm sure their will be more.

FVES Mornings

Ok, just a small vent. Every morning we (Jay & I) have the same routine. After we either drop Anna off @ the Hunt's or leave her with Daddy, we head to FVES.

We have our famous 3 questions.
1. Whose going to be the best boy today?
2. Whose not going to get on the yellow or red light? (Jay is known for both of these)
3. Who loves their Mom?

Ok three easy answers.

Well today, after our three famous questions, we are sitting there waiting for Jay to get out. Ok you see the orange cone, we were a car behind that. Well we sit there and we sit there and we sit there. I start watching the clock and we are still sitting there 5 mins later. Some mom had stopped her car in the drop off lane and went inside to take something to her kid. COME ON! And for those of you who do not know Jay's school, the drop-off/pick-up lane is really one lane only. Some teachers and the principal park on half of the lane (which is probably marked). But other than that, if someone stops in front of you, You are most likely just going to be STUCK there.

Ok, since I got to voice my frustrations, I'm over it!
