a picture post

These are just a few of the pictures Christa took for her 3rd birthday. I will post more from her party later when I have time to write in detail. These are the ones I actually ordered..I will post the rest of her pics that were really good later also...

January

Well this is my post for January..haha..I said I was going to update more often but so far I'm failing at that. Well so far this year has been a pretty good one. Brea is starting to repeat words we say, or try to anyway, and Christa has wore panties for 4 days in a row with only one accident! Oh and we can't forget about Charlemagne getting thrown out of his game this past Tuesday..

First of all Brea~She grows everyday we see her. When we say something she will repeat it. I asked her tonight what her name was and she said "Christa" but of course it wasn't that plain. She also says "I love you" or tries to anyway. haha.

Next is Christa~One morning I went in her room and saw her soaking wet pull up in the floor and her sleeping in her panties. That morning she refused to put on pull ups so I told her if she goes to the bathroom she can wear her princess panties. Well she went and all day long she wore her panties. She never had an accident! The next day I found her the same way so we went the 2nd day with panties on. But that night she ended up peeing in them while she was on her way to the bathroom...poor thing...she was trying..well she ended up wearing panties a couple of more days with no problem but all of a sudden she wanted to wear her pull ups again and not her panties. Its like she goes through stages with her panties...

We also took Christa to see the asthma doctor because the babysitter said she sleep walks and through my research sleepwalking is associated with nighttime asthma and restless sleeping. Ever since Christa has had pneumonia she has had this real deap cough that she cannot get rid of..and if you know her a little bit, she does not sleep at night. She may go to sleep at 12 and wake up at 3 then go back to sleep and wake up at 7...she's just like her daddy in that department..haha..well the doc ended up saying she's to young to diagnose with asthma but he will probably be seeing her in the next 3 years because Charlemagne has family with it. He also said she does have a little swelling in her tonsils and adnoids which he don't consider taking them out until about 5...

It is hard to believe Christa is going to be 3 next weekend!!! Where does time go??

Next Charlemagne~getting kicked out of the game. He said it wasn't his fault. The refs were some terrible ones. Just to start off the first half foul situation was 10-2...guess who was 10?? I didn't not get to go to the game because it was far and plus I had this training I had to go to after work. After the 1st T was called on him he said he got his chair and pulled it up to the end line but staying in the coaching box and he other ref, the one he was not talking to, came and gave him another T with that one ejected him. The ref's write up said that he refused to leave the court..I think this is the 2nd time he has gotten thrown out of a game. One was when he was coaching middle school and this one.

Last but not least Me~Something came good out of Christa's doc visit. I made me an appt to get an allergy test done. If you know me I am miserable in the spring time...around april and may...I usually sleep with a cold rag on my eyes and cannot wear my contacts for about 2 months. well hopefully I can get something done about it this year and get it fixed...I'm real excited about that...

I will hopefully be posting another blog next weekend after Christa's bday party and pictures so stay tuned. I hope all is well with everyone else!

In the meantime...blog you later!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010!!

I hope everyone had a great and safe New Years! I can't remember where I left off but we have had a busy time after christmas!

After my parents left we had our Sweet South Tourny which was another great year! We didn't win this year but overall we had a good turnout...Charlemagne's parents came during that and stayed for the 3 days we put it on. Its always good to have our family here to visit. the tournament ended on Wed the 30th. They went home on Thursday and took the girls home with them. I LOVE when they do that:) Charlemagne then had another tournament which was called Hoops in Overdrive High School Shootout which we had teams from GA, AL, NC, FL, MS, and MA to come and play. There were some good teams that came a played. That started on Friday. So me and Charlemagne got to have a New Years together with no kids! I think it was our first one since before the kids. We had a great time! I stayed and worked the tournament on Friday and went to pick the girls up on Saturday. That Sunday we came home to see Daddy. The girls were so happy to see him. It has been since Thursday since they saw him last. We had one day left to rest before we started work on Tuesday.

It was a nice little time off but it was good to be back at work too. They called for snow on Thursday here but it just did a light dusting. Friday morning they called off our school because of the ice. Thank goodness because we stayed up a little late to watch the TIDE ROLL!!!! It was a good game...Saturday (yesterday) Charlemagne had a game but they called it off so we got the girls together and went to Chuck E Cheese. We met his little cousin there to pick her up so she could stay the weekend. Here are some pictures from last night....

























So now here we are. Christa has a little stomach bug so she has been throwing up all evening, Brea is laying here in the floor, and Chelsea is pretending to talk on the phone...Oh and Charlemagne had a game which did not get cancelled tonight. If it wasn't for Christa we would have packed up and went.

Before I go I think I told you about a friend, Heather, who I have talked with on the internet but have never met because they live in Utah. She is the girlfriend of one me and Charlemagne's friend. She also has a little girl who is about 2 weeks older than Christa. Everytime we talk we talk about the girls we think they are just a like. Well we got to meet her before my parents came. We drove down to Montgomery for the night to see them since they were in town, Here is a picture of us.

So until next time!! Blog you later!!!

Our Christmas

I hope everyone had a good Christmas! We sure did! On Wed we left for montomery to see Charlemagne's family and some friends who were in town. I will post some pics on that later..Thursday we can back to madison to spend Christmas with my family. They came from TN and actually got here before we did. The girls had a great time opening presents. As you can see they loved their gifts. That night we got ready for Santa and Christa never went to sleep. The next morning she saw her new bike Santa gave her. She also had a back pack. Brea got her a bee riding toy and book bag. They both also loved their Dora tent!

Here are some pics of our Christmas. You can go look at more at www.lifeofagibbons.shutterfly.com/random/795

Have a great rest of the holiday and I will blog with you later!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Hopefully this will be a start to many more posts more often. I got my Christmas present early...Charlemagne got me a notebook from verizon!! I am really enjoying it too. This is just a quick post to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! I hope yall are done with Christmas shopping and don't get caught up in the mad last minute traffic at the malls/stores. I just got done finishing getting the last of the stocking stuffers for the girls. This is going to be a really good Christmas for them. They are old enough to open presents and know what they are. Santa got Christa a bike...We can not wait to see her face when she sees it. Every time we go into wal mart she wants to see the bikes. I am still trying to find out what to get Charlemagne...I know that bad considering Christmas is only 2 days away...

My parents and grandmother is coming in on Thursday and leaving Saturday. I am excited to have them here. This is the first time they will be seeing "santa" on christmas morning.

I will hopefully post some pics after christmas is over. have a great one and i will post something soon!!

Thanksgiving

Well Thanksgiving is around the corner (actually tomorrow). I am so thankful for all that I have. My parents and family, Charlemagne's parents and family, my wonderful 2 girls, and friends! I am really blessed to be a part of a great loving family.

Tomorrow we are going to Augusta to see Charlemagne's family. I took the girls on Friday to Alabama so they can stay until this weekend. They have had a ball...I have been off work for the week and Charlemagne only went for two days. We have had a well deserved break from them. We are so ready to see them again and miss them so much. It is hard to think about what we did before them.

Saturday is the start of Basketball season. They have been practicing but the games actually start. We are excited about this year because he has a really good group of boys he has been coaching since they were in 9th grade. They did really good in their scrimmage game and are very excited to see what the outcome of this year is.

The girls are growing up so much! I know I say that in every posting but they grow up in just a month. Christa is still peeing in the potty randomly but more often then before. She usually goes through about 1 or 2 pull ups a day. She is talking so much now and has such a big imagination. She is always pretending to so something with random things, even it is invisible things..haha..She is so into Dora and Boots now. I have to record it in DVR because that is all she wants to watch. She likes to pretend she is Swiper too...Its funny to watch her..It is hard to believe that she will be 3 years old in February!!!

Brea is 15 months now. She went to the doctor on the 12 for her checkup and she weighed as much as Christa does. She weighed 28 lbs. and Christa is 30. She is going to be a big girl...haha...She even has as much hair as Christa does, curly and black! She loves to do anything her sister does but she is not as independent. She still wants to be on her mommy and daddy, and she IS a daddy's girl...she loves her daddy! She gets so excited when she sees him coaching and we are in the stands.

Life is moving so fast! Thanksgiving is a time to settle with family and remember what we are thankful for. It don't seem that Christmas is around the corner. I love these holidays because family and friends are so important!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and Happy Holidays!!!
