CJ loves Veggie Tales

Here's CJ dancing and singing to one of his favorite songs, "Veggie Tales" theme song. Enjoy!

A few Christmas Pixes

Our First Texan Christmas Tree! Kerry collects M&M's and CJ loves eating 'em!
Kyra loved all of her girlie gifts!
It's all about fashion, High School Musical, & Hannah Montana for Kyra. Alyssa loves to shadow her big sister! Alyssa finally joining in on opening gifts! Took her awhile to get up after taking so long to get her to sleep before Santa arrived! ;-)

It's funny how the girls were more interested in what the other one got- even CJ was more into the girls' electronic games while his sisters had fun with his new tool set!

....and where is CJ in all this? He's oohing & aaahhhing in the background and then knocked out.

Our Doggie Family

Bumper

Scooby Dum

DJ getting some lovin'

and then there's TAZ

...and as you can see Taz is attached to the "Lyster"

(Sean's nickname for Alyssa)

Catsville

Here's some pixes of the kitties that live on our porch! Meet the newest member of the family - the girls called him/her "BLACKIE". Unfortunately, he/she was the only one to survive out of the 3 kittens that Batgirl gave birth to. So far, he/she's become "streetwise" and even bed-buddies w/ DJ on the porch. DJ seems to always want to go outside so he just stays out there now for the most part. I think he thinks he's now a cat. I mean the dog eats catfood now and plays with all the cats out front. The other cats don't seem to mind him and play along too.

The other cats shown -I'm not sure who is who, but the one sleeping below is GEORGE. He runs in the house once in awhile since he use to be a house cat before he moved over here. The cats seems to love it on our porch. They seem to take care of us too as they keep snakes and rodents away from the house.

The Toves Trio

Here's the crazy Toves Trio- pixes taken today as the kids went outside to play for a bit before it gets cold again. (Sorry, I know I've been bad neglecting my blog postings lately.)

It has been in the 70 degrees during the day, but around 30 degrees at night! I've been sick as a dog for the last 3 weeks and finally getting over it now. Luckily, the kids had gotten over their colds before Christmas.

Thank you all for your presents- the kids loved them all. Also, hope you enjoyed my special gift to all you as well.

CJ is starting his "terrible two" stage already- always into everything and anything! Alyssa is still a muncher day and night and we still dunno where it all goes- fast metabolism. Kyra is dreading going back to school after a short Xmas vacation and still asks which weekend we can go visit Alexa in Oceanside. (Nanny, what are we going to do?)

Second Cousins meet for the First Time!

(L-R Iza, Kyra, Nautica, Alyssa, and if you look closely,
it's CJ sleeping in the corner!)

Kyra & Alyssa were surprised to see their "second cousins" to be as small as them! Also, to see how they seemed to know where everything was in the house- including their old bedroom. LOL

CJ slept through the visit but when they came by again on New Years Day, CJ was enjoying being present amongst many little ladies! ;-)
