The Pledge of Allegiance

"Mom, today our principal forgot to say The Pledge of Allegiance, so when I went outside and saw the flag, I just said it myself!"


Isn't that adorable?!?! I could just squeeze her!!!!

Next year for Christmas...

Jocelyn: "Grandpa, I know what I'm going to have to ask Santa for Christmas next year. Well, he brought me a bunch of pencils in my stocking and now I need a pencil sharpener. I know it's not very exciting, BUT sometimes you just have to ask for something you NEED."

I just love this girl. I bet we can find her a pencil sharpener before next Christmas!

I had to add this....My Dad told me while he was on the phone with Jocelyn, she said, "Grandpa, I know what you should get Michelle for Christmas. A dime-in-a-ring. They are beautiful!"

Thanksgiving and Christmas activities.

Thanksgiving dinner and some crazy little girl! haha.

I need to get more pictures next year!!

You can still find us here EVERY Saturday morning. Bright and early! She loves it.

Jocelyn's Birthday

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY, JOCELYN!

Jewelry box with jewelry making beads.

She has wanted her own alarm clock for awhile. The first morning, the alarm went off like she wanted it to, but she couldn't remember how to turn it off. So I went in there and she said, "MOM! The thing won't BE QUIET!" The next morning, we went in and it was unplugged! HA!

Her favorite breakfast. Daddy's pancakes and bacon.

Ready for school.

Arts and crafts.

Her best friend, Jessica.

Funny things to remember

Christmas is our favorite time of the year! Jocelyn always talks to Grandpa in Plano b/c he is friends with Santa. She is VERY concerned b/c she thinks she might be on the naughty list! She called Grandpa to ask if he could call Santa and check for her. He called back and said that GRAHAM is on the naughty list. She has been asking how he can get back on the good list. Grandpa told her, "He has to stick his right hand in his left nostril and his left hand in his right ear. Then he has to jump around on one foot while singing Boomer Sooner!" She said, "AHHH, brother! Is there ANYTHING else he can do? Can't he just BE NICE?" Then she turned to me and said, "Oh well. At least I get to see what coal looks like!!"

The other night, Jocelyn was finding a hundred ways to avoid bedtime. Graham said, "watch, she's going to grow up and be a politician." Jocelyn said, "A POLITICIAN....YUCK!" hahaha!

Jocelyn and I were watching Alvin and the Chipmunks, the second one. It was the part where the boys meet the chipettes. I asked Jocelyn if she has a boyfriend at school and she said, "No...well David impresses me. I KNOW he likes me, but I have to wait to see what he is all about."

Joc was trying to be extra sweet one Saturday morning. She said, "Mom, I hope OU scores a lot today. But NOT that Oklahoma team...bleh!!" I said, "Jocelyn, OU IS Oklahoma!" She said, "OH! Oops! Sorry!"

Another football one... She was annoyed that I was watching OU so she was being grumpy...
Me: "Run boys!"
Joc: "NO! Don't run! I'm cheering for the black and yellow team!"
Me: "Oh yeah? What is your team called?"
Graham: "Mizzou"
Joc: "YEAH! I'm cheering for the ZOO!"
Oh, so after she told me that I texted Ashlee who was also watching the OU game and told her what Jocelyn had just said. Ashlee said, "Tell her that Aunt Ashlee is cheering for OU". So I did and Jocelyn said, "Alright, I'm cheering for OU now." Then Ash said, "You can further convince her if you tell her that Celtic Woman cheer for OU." Jocelyn LOVES the group, Celtic Woman. So I told Jocelyn that and she said, "NO! Celtic Woman cheer for TEXAS U!" ...hahaha! She knows how to get me!

Right before going to time out for attitude, Jocelyn said "MOM! You are deliciously MEAN!"

During dinner the other night, Jocelyn's hair was in her food so I asked her to sit up straight so it wouldn't hang in her food. She informed me that her hair "just does it's OWN thing!"

We have new neighbors that go to our church AND have the same last name as us. Funny, huh?!? They have a little boy who is also in kindergarten so Jocelyn has been playing with him a lot. Yesterday, they rode their bikes up and down our street. Later that evening, Jocelyn said, "Mom, we came across two teenagers who were listening to music and THEY WERE IN LOVE!" I asked her how she knew and she said, "We sneaked up and they were KISSING!"

Here are two that are on my blog's sidebar that I wanted to remember...

Me: "Your cup is sweating, that's why it's getting you all wet."
Jocelyn: "HOW can a CUP sweat?!? It's NOT ALIVE!"

After I let Jocelyn out of time out, she said: "I'm really not impressed with this day! I think I'll call it THE WORST DAY EVER!"

Salon Day!!

Jocelyn and I had a hard time deciding what to do for her birthday party this year. We talked about so many different ideas! I had seen one of my friends on facebook post a picture of the cutest salon that she took her daughter to. I showed Jocelyn the picture and her decision was finally made!!
We went yesterday since the kids were out of school. The girls had so much fun getting their manicures AND pedicures! Each chair had it's own dvd player and I think the girls felt like movie stars or princesses! It made me laugh so hard b/c some of the girls were watching Tinkerbell, Toy Story and Barbie Princess movies. My friend turned to me and said, "They have Sheryl Crow music videos on Jocelyn's dvd player!" Ummm, okay! She didn't complain though. I think she just liked having her own little tv while being pampered.

Now for the picture overload!!!!

Too cute! Jocelyn, Bailey and Gillian.

Next we went to lunch at Jason's Deli. The girls got so much attention from people around us. All these "ooohs and awwws" saying how cute they all were!

Of course, Jocelyn's favorite part. Her friends are awesome and got her great gifts! They know her so well! :)

I love that face! "No way, Bailey! So cool!"
