December 2010 Random

It snowed in the Mall!

At 2pm and 7pm everyday it snowed by the fountain at Sooner Mall in Norman. They had machines on the ceiling that blew out ice for about 5mins and we met some friends from MOMS Club to see it. The kids thought it was pretty neat. Funny thing was it was about 75 degrees that day.

JILLIAN AND JENNA TURN 6!

Our nieces had their birthday party at McDonald's on December 2 and had a great turnout of family and friends from school. We noticed that a lot of those friends are missing teeth all of a sudden so I have a feeling the tooth fairy will be visiting soon. :) Jillian is more of the artsy one and Jenna is more sporty. They are in kindergarten this year are starting Daisies really soon which is the youngest version of Girl Scouts

The twins very rarely wear matching outfits but this day they did along with baby sister so I couldn't resist taking pictures

My mom and I took the boys to Midwest City to see a large Christmas light display at a park. We got to drive through and the boys sat up front with Mimi to get a better look. It was really fun and I absolutely LOVE this picture!

I still think it's funny that when Jensen see's this picture he says "Mommy I was crying because I didn't want to eat that turkey!"

Jensen is 5!

I can't believe our little baby Jensen Drew is 5 already! When I first became a mommy, kids who were 5 seemed so grown up and it seemed so far away. Now he's a big boy at 47in tall (90th percentile) and 46lbs (75th percentile) and he's all arms and legs with not a squishy part on him which is hard to believe since he was such a chubby baby. He has tons of energy and he's very smart. He's doing very well in public Pre-K and can read 3 letter words easily.

Jensen got to bring a special snack to school on his birthday and I planned on going to get some cupcakes or cookies at the grocery store but Jensen requested to make some cupcakes. Crap I have to be domestic? :) He specified scary Halloween decorations but they were all sold out by the time we made them so we did mini cupcakes with sprinkles instead.

Jensen's birthday was on a Sat this year so we got to have his party on his actual birthday. We invited all his friends and family to the YMCA where they have a party room and a really fun splash pad for the kids. He chose a Tom and Jerry theme and we put whoopie cushions in the favor bags which were a huge hit. Jeff's 81 year old Grandma Cassie even took one so she could play a prank on her sister. That really made me laugh!!

He got some cool presents and really enjoyed opening them up. He got some games, a dinosaur, transformers, Hex bugs, nerf guns, Wipeout game for Wii and a lot more

After cake and presents the kids went out to swim. I didn't even see Jensen most of the time because he was so busy having fun with his friends. Plus, I was chasing little brother Jorden who loves the water and has no fear. Poor baby slipped and fell on the back of his head so everyone was really worried about him for a while. He was fine though and only had a small bruise
