Hannahism 12-15-08

We were driving to Aunt Becky's on Saturday for the family get-together and were behind some cars that were a little lost and being really slow. I realized that Hannah rides with me in the car way to much when she said "Come on people, MOVE IT!!"

Another for your enjoyment:

Hannah, Seth and I were at home after church yesterday while Chris was at work. Hannah started talking about Seth being born. She said, "Seth was in your tummy and then he came out." I said, "Yes he was and do you remember coming to see Seth in the hospital." Her reply -- "Yes, daddy brought me there and Ninny and Paco were there to see Seth being BORING!"

She meant BORN, but it came out BORING and I had to laugh about that one:)

Hope you enjoy!!!

Monkey update

Seth is doing GREAT!! He now has nine teeth and loves to EAT!! You cannot tell it by his weight, but the little man loves to eat!!

He definitely has a temper and is beginning to defend himself against Hannah! They have a love/hate relationship right now!!
Seth is into everything - he crawls around the house and finds any and everything to put in his mouth!

He has the greatest personality and loves to have a good time! He has the best laugh and only cries when he is hunger, dirty, or something has been taken away from him!!

We love our little Monkey Man:)

City Christmas Party

We had Chris' city Christmas party last night and had a good time with most of the shift and their spouses! Chris was up for employee of the year with the other 3 who won employee of the quarter this year. He did not win, but we are so proud of him for making the final 4:)

I did not get great pictures, but here is what I have:

Jason and his wife
Jason, Ian and his fiancee

Rob and his wife

Chris and two of the other finalists with the Mayor!

Jason won the the "OOPS" award for making a comment at a city CPR class that the South is the best and there was a Yankee in the class!!!

Rob received his 5 year service award!!

Christmas Parade

We headed down to Crowley for the Christmas parade because one of the kids babysitters was in the parade with their 4H club. Needless to say the parade was a huge disappointment, but Hannah had a blast playing and watching her dance school perform.

Hannah on the back of the Babler horse (the sweetest horse I have ever seen)!

Seth with Merilee gets his turn to ride!

Aliyah, Hannah and Seth

Katie with Seth!! We love the Babler family and the wonderful young ladies they have raised that love our children so much - we are blessed!!

Extended family

We had a gathering with the extended family on Chris' mom's side of the family. It was a great time at Aunt Becky's house - thanks for having us Aunt Beck:)

I did not do a great job of pictures and there are no pictures of the toddlers and older kids - they were too busy running around and screaming to take pictures. Here are the one's that I did get:

Our own tiny dancer

Hannah asked to be a ballerina and we thought we would help her with her wish! She started dance classes 3 weeks ago and is loving it!! It is a mommy and me class where they do tap, ballet and tumbling. Needless to say she is not the greatest ballerina there is, but she is catching on to tap fairly quickly! She loves Ms. Angie, her teacher. There are 10 kids in her class, and some of the moms are a little over the top (they wear their own tap and ballet shoes)!

Each week, Hannah picks who will take her to class - so far mom has gone once and dad has gone twice. Below are some pictures of her headed to class. She has to wear her hair off her face (needless to say - her thin hair does not cooperate real well with that, but we try)!

Hannah with "The Boys'

What can I say? Hannah loves "the boys" - her cousins Cameron and Austin. They were over at the house recently and were having way to much fun "making sandwiches" - this is what Hannah refers to when you smash one person in between two others!

The boys were great sports and let Hannah launch herself onto them!

Hannah appears to realize she has been caught:)

They stayed like this for a while watching TV!!!
