Comedian

Jocelyn continues to crack us up, but gets embarrassed if we laugh. Grandpa and I told her she needs to be a comedian but she said, "that's not my responsibility". HA!

Exciting news! New Mexico has BLUE BELL ICE CREAM now!!! Woohoo! If you haven't had some and don't know how exciting it is, rush out to Albertson's and get some...preferably cookies and cream. Graham thinks I'm crazy, but really, it is the best. Not to mention, childhood memories.

Anyway, we got some Blue Bell ice cream this weekend and Jocelyn called Grandpa to tell him(since I made a big deal about it). She said, "I'm having chocolate chip blueberry ice cream...I mean blue...WHAT is it?...I don't know, it's FRENCH or something!"

At the end of the week after preschool, usually the play room LOOKS clean, but everything is unorganized and not in the right place. (I love my preschoolers and they do try to clean up!) So last week I was re-organizing the play room and probably not in the best mood...mostly b/c Jocelyn does know where things go and it was still a mess. Anyway, after I was done I needed to run an errand. I heard Graham and Jocelyn talking in the hall.

Graham: "Jocelyn, do you want to go with Mommy or stay here?"

Jocelyn: "WELL...are you in a better mood than Mommy?"

I really wish I could have recorded it. It made me laugh so hard and put me in a better mood, so Jocelyn ended up going on my errand with me. She said it so sweetly and was honestly curious which one of us was in a better mood. Hilarious.

Oh, one more thing. Have you ever been on google earth? You can put an address in and see a picture of the house. When we moved into our new house, Grandpa in Plano was looking up our address and then convinced Jocelyn that if she stood outside and waved he could see her. Of course, she believed him. So then he had her go outside and jump up and down so he could see her...."Do you see me now, Grandpa?" Ohhhh, sweet girl. I know Grandpa will be in BIG trouble when you figure out he's just teasing you!

A few pics from her lesson this weekend

Feeding Hope a "cookie" after the lesson.
Can you see Hope's tongue sticking out?!?

The mama goat finally had her babies a few weeks ago. She had four, but unfortunately one didn't make it. They are so cute and have grown a ton already.

Random pics...

Here is how our St. Patrick's Day craft turned out this week. We have Spring Break next week, so we celebrated early.
My cute Monday preschool class. Love them!
Jocelyn wanted to play Guitar Hero and was not winning against her Daddy...she might be a little too competitive for a five year old.
Her cute Sunday dress. We love ladybugs!
I'm trying new things with her hair, so this is how it turned out on Sunday.

When did that happen?

I was going through pictures and this one made me stop...WHEN did she grow up to be a big kid who's about to go to school?!?!?! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! On one hand, it's so fun that's she is getting older, has such a cute personality and her own interests...on the other hand, sometimes I just miss MY LITTLE BABY!!!!

Cute St. Patrick's Day craft!!!

How cute is this?!? I am going to make it with my preschoolers next week for St. Patrick's Day!

"Do you have a crew loose?"

GUESS WHO GOT THEIR EARS PIERCED?!?! So exciting! I never thought we would talk Graham into agreeing, but the planets aligned and he said yes! Jocelyn has been begging us to let her get her ears pierced for awhile. Graham said when she's 12...yeah right. On Saturday we were shopping at the mall and somehow talked him into it. Anyway, Joceyln was SO excited. When she sat in the chair, she got a little nervous, but didn't cry at all when they pierced them. So brave!

When we were walking to Claire's, Jocelyn said "I can't wait to show Mr. Heath my earrings tomorrow!" (Her horse back riding teacher who she MIGHT have a crush on!). Yeah, Daddy almost said nevermind just then!

In the car, she called Grandpa in Plano to tell him. I knew exactly what my Dad would say. "HAS YOUR MOM GONE CRAZY?!? Ask her if she has a screw loose!"

Joc: "Hey Mom. Do you have a crew loose?"

Luckily, Grandpa acted very excited for his granddaughter. Otherwise, he might have been hung up on!
