December 15, 2008 (how is it the 15th already?)

Quote of the Day:

Macey was being very impatient after bringing home some candy canes from the store and thought they had to go on the tree the second we walked in the door. I told her she had to wait patiently while I unloaded the car. Her response, " Yeah, I not wait patient all the time, but Bennett he wait very patient." (she remembered from last week Bennett did wait very patiently for their lunches to be made)

Last night Kelsey was heading toward the two steps that we have leading down into the family room and Macey saw her coming. So Macey ran to get pillows to put on the stairs and yelled, "OH STOP Kelsey, you make me very nervous!!!!! I need to quick get you some pillows." Good thing we have Mace around to watch her little sister.

Pictures of the day:

I haven't had time to take many great pictures lately, so these are in black and white due to messy faces and bad coloring/lighting.

I love my dad home on the weekends! I know he just LOVES reading me all these Dora books!

Kels is in on the fun, pointing at her new favorite character, Dora.

Look at me! (the tongue out does help you stand better)

First game, first win

For those that don't know, Jason is the head JV boys basketball coach down here in Colon. It's my first year experiencing being married to a coach. He has his first game tonight and somehow I was more nervous than he was. Watching the teams warm-up and Jason out there, I thought, "How does he know how to do this?" It was one of those proud wife moments. I was even more proud and RELIEVED that they came up with a big win and I didn't hear anyone talk bad or yell at Jason (my biggest fear). So one down and many more to go :) Let's hope they keep winning!

Quotes of the day:

Macey before going to the basketball game: "Mom, I don't want to be on dad's basketball team, I don't want to go on the field."

(This one isn't a funny quote but it made me smile)

Macey singing along to her video- "Open the eyes of my heart Lord, Open the eyes of my heart, I want to see you, I want to see you."
