Our Christmas 2009

Started with opening Christmas Eve pj's. Then we put cookies out for Santa (dropping a few on the way)
She picked them right up, and took a bite, I don't think Santa minded!

Looking sad, she wanted to eat them.

In her new monkey jammies all ready for bed.

Santa and hi elves putting together Josie's new toy.

After almost two hours, Santa landed and left some fun new toys. (The big dog was shipped to Josie from Uncle Trey)

Playing with Santa gifts.

She loves the dogie.

Nice happy family at the Christmas Eve Service.

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2009

KU

Jeff is brain washing our daughter to love KU! It's really cute. She now recognizes the Jay Hawk and can sing the Rock Chalk chant with Jeff. This morning we were saying our ABC's and when we got to K she screamed KU! Jeff is so proud ;)

Two Josie Stories

Last night Josie was sitting in my lap reading a book. She pushed the book aside and said, "mommy I potty". So I rushed her into the bathroom, where sure enough she peed in the potty. It's second time. I'm not really potty training her, just explaining what I do when I go, and what and where things are. So I am impressed. Yes I know things could and probably will go very differently when she starts the hard core potty training, but for now I am excited ;)


This morning I took her inside the babysitters house, took off her coat and hat, before I knew it she was at the door opening it. Then she come to me grabbed my leg and pushed me out the door. She looked out at me said See ya and slammed the door! Thanks a lot Josie! It was funny and really I am so happy she is where she is all day and obviously enjoys herself!

T.I.M.S. Fight Panthers Fight

This is my fabulous cheerleading squad! We went to a competition and rocked it! It was so much fun and we did awesome! We were one of 6 middle schools and our routine was pretty tough compared to the other squads. We got some pretty big props from the high school squads. Plus we had a BOY! Yup the only middle school squad with a boy in the city! He is just awesome and wants to learn and learn. I love these kids and this makes my job so much more fun. (well on most days) In our routine we had lots of halves, two fulls, two libs, a double hitch pyramid and lots of tumbling. If you were on my high school squad you would recognize our cheer (it was hey hey here we go from our routine senior year) I told them I did it in a routine and they thought that was so cool. I am excited because I am turning our cheerleading program into something really great. It's all because I have great girls (and boys) We have 4 basketball games left with an excited Christmas routine still to come.
