John and Tina Plus Three: Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving 2009

We had such a wonderful Thanksgiving. We spent the day relaxing and we really enjoyed having a few extra days off. We went to my Mom and Dad's house for dinner along with my Aunt Pat and her Family and my Aunt MaChee with her Son and his Family. It was absolutely perfect in every way. My Mom of course wouldn't let me help, she always insists on doing everything herself. But I decided to at least make a dessert. I have always loved when my Grandmother would make a Bundt Cake, so I thought I would try to make one in her honor since she would be spending Thanksgiving in Phoenix with the other half of the Family. It turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself!

As for the extra time off, I have been reading "Eclipse" by Stephenie Meyer, and I have to admit I couldn't put the damn thing down. I was so upset when Liv made me go see the movie on her Birthday, but to my surprise it was really good. I left the theater dying to know what's going to happen next. The following day I found myself at Target buying the book. Curse you Stephenie Meyers! I am now thinking about going back to Target to get the next book "Breaking Dawn." What's happening to me? Please tell me I'm not turning into one of those middle aged women obsessed with Vampires. AHHH! But I have to know, are they ever going to get married? Will Bella change into a Vampire? What will happen to Jacob? AHHH! The suspense is killing me, I have to go to Target right now!!! I'll be in the Twilight section with all the other middle aged women. =)

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
