Got Math?

A little adding and subtracting anyone??

A few weeks ago, Danelle and I were playing "School" and I started introducing her to addition and subtraction problems...just for kicks. She took little interest, and I left it alone. Last night she and I had to make a quick run to the store for a few things, and she asked me if I would buy her this Princess "add" book. OF COURSE I WILL!!! :) After eating dinner at Ryan's, she and I made it home to my house. Now clean, full and in the bed, we pulled out the book. She completed two whole pages, when I finally made her put it away because it was getting late, and she had school in the morning! She loves it! She is absolutely addicted to mathematical equations! She loves counting, writing, and reading numbers! The only thing she didn't find too thrilling was when she had to color the fish after completing their mathematical sentences for Ariel, whom is the "Little Mermaid"! ;) This morning, she sat straight up in the bed with this huge smile on her face, and said, "Good morning Sleepy Head! Can I do some more adding before school, please!!" HAHAHA!!! Okay....sure you can. How about some green beans on the side of that order! lol.

She completed two more pages this morning while eating her breakfast!

You just don't know how cute and intelligent she looks adding up these numbers and counting on her fingers, especially with her cute little "Hannah Montana, Taylor Swift, Country girl" glasses on!! :)

Below you can see a picture of her workbook as well her purple glasses! ;) I will upload some pictures of her working her brains soon!!

I am so happy that she is this eager to learn! I just hope she will not be too bored when she actually reaches Kindergarten! ;)

Happy Birthday Caden!

Happy 5th Birthday Caden!!

Danelle's first school birthday party! (Below you will find some pictures of Danelle climbing trees with the boys!) ;)

(This was one of the games the kids played)

Danelle attended her first "School Friend Birthday Party" Saturday morning. Caden, whom is in her class at Little Red School House turned five years old!! Danelle told me that "He was really bigand strong, and could cross the big monkey bars now!" lol. It was a little chilly, but the kids had a good time. They played basketball, climbed trees, and had tons of party games! The hotdogs, chips and dip, goldfish, and pineapple were delicious! Heather (Caden's mom) made a variety of cupcake flavors. They were really good too! ;)

Danelle actually won the first party game! You know the good ole' pin the tail on the donkey...right? Well, this was place the "jellyfish" close to Spongebob's net! lol. (The party was in Spongebob theme!!) Well, all the kids got spun around five time, blind folded, and then had to place their jellyfish as close to the net as they thought. Well, all the kids went...and well....they were not too succesful...then it was Nelly's turn. Heather put the blind fold on her, and spun her around...she stumbled a little, and then walked straight to the net and placed her jellyfish! :)

Everyone was shocked...that she did that good! I said, "Umm...Danelle, honey can you see?" She said "No, ma'am". Heather stuck out her hand in front of Danelle's face, and said, "How many fingers am I holding up?" Danelle answered with much excitment "2!". lol. And...needless to say....she was right! The little turkey was cheating!! lol. But, she still won because everyone else thought it was funny and cute and agreed she should win the prize! She received a goody bag with a brush, some hair bows, some candy, a purple pencil, and I think even some glow sticks. lol.

All in all...she and I really enjoyed Caden's birthay! :)

"Growing Girl"

Danelle is just growing like a weed! ;)

"LiFe iN tHe RaIn"

Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...

...It's about learning to dance in the rain!

You better watch for the D&D Team!!

"Daelynn and Danelle"

These two are mighty powerful forces when joined together! They have everlasting energy, fear nothing, and will without a shadow of a doubt steal your heart! They are two of the cutest little Country bumpkins you will ever see! ;) These girls can sing all the hits from Hannah Montana and Taylor Swift to Jason Aldean! They are the best "Country Girl Friends" ever!

I will upload more photos of them soon! Trust me...I have many more!

That's what little girls are made of...

Sugar and Spice and everything nice....that's what little girls are made of!!

She is the cutest little "Taylor Swift, Hannah Montana, Tinkerbell, Country girl diva", that I have ever seen in all my days! ;)

I have an eye problem...

I am sitting here at work...and I am really sleepy!! Lol. Really, it's not that funny! My throat is sore...and my eyes are fighting with all of their power not to shut! It's hard having to sit here and listen to the humming sound of all these scanners! Really!! My hands ache due to the dryness caused by the harsh cold wind...and they don't want to work anymore. My body is on strike today...what am I suppose to tell my boss?

I have an eye problem....I can't see myself working today!


:) That would go over like a poot in church!


I hope everyone has a wonderful day today! I am going to pray that the good Lord gives me some energy to carry on throughout the day! ;) Yall pray for me too!

**Beach Bums**

There is nothing like a Sunny day on the Beautiful Mexico Beach! The soft white sand between your toes, the cool clean water to cool you off, and the sun and wind working together to keep you smiling all day! :)

We decided to take a trip to Mexico Beach in Bay County one day this past summer. I was a little worried about the girls being out in the sun all day...but they did great! The only time they got fussy was when they wanted me or Ryan to hold them in the surf. They didn't like how the waves pushed them over. We all had a great time. Caleb was buried from neck down...we made really cool sand castles, and the girls loved snacking all day on the picnic blanket. I packed tons of towels, sun block, sun hats, swimmies, toys galore, sun glasses, and a few changes of clothes for the little ones. We had peanut butter and jelly for lunch, with chips and capri suns. The girs really enjoyed their lunch. I guess the sun just made them hungry hungry!! After the beach, we went up to the public pier and washed off in the showers...changed clothes, and got all clean for the ride home. But first we had to take our traditional trip to Tommy T's ice cream parlor. All the kids got to pick there own ice cream flavor....and they loved playing all the games in the game room!!! All in all....we had a great day at the beach!

P.S. Ryan was the only one that got burnt! The rest of us just got nicely kissed by the sun! ;)
