I Don't Want to Eat My Vegetables!!!!

This was what Christa was thinking for about a hour the past 2 nights while sitting at the dinner table. We had Zucchini and Squash with some yellow rice and pork chops. She loves her starches and meat!! Last night she ate everything but her Veggies so we let her sit with it in her mouth until she ate it. Well this didn't last very long so we made her go to bed. Well we had left overs tonight. So I just put the Veggies on her plate with very little rice. She at the rice and didn't eat any of the veggies. She then wanted a salad, so we gave her some. We even put dressing on the veggies but she would take her fork and scrape the dressing off and eat it. So we let her sit at the table until she decided she wanted to eat. After about an hour we let her get up and take her bath. I put her straight to bed...So if any of you have any ideas on how to get her to eat her Veggies, PLEASE let me know....Charlemagne seasons them up pretty good so you can't really taste how bad they are...

I have also included a little clip of the crying and her just sitting there with her mouth wide open. This is what she did for the hour...She is so hard headed...but you gotta lover her!!!

The day of Love...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day! We didn't do much of anything. We had a game the night before so we got in late. This game was such a good game and had everybody up on their feet! It was down to the last second and we won! There was about 6 sec on the clock and after they made their shot the game was tied. We threw the ball in and Rayshaun dribbled the whole way down. He ended up banking it off the back board and the buzzard went off. He made it!!!!! It looked like we won the championship or something...The boys and Charlemagne stormed the court...It was such a good feeling. We play Tuesday and if we win we will have a bid in the state tournament! and if we lose the season is over. This is the most exciting part of the season. We have to travel to N. Georgia to Hart Co. (I think). I usually don't go to the far games but I got to support my hubby and the boys..We have lost to them both times we played them so hopefully this time we will win! 3rd times the charm...right??

Anyways, back to what my blog is really about...haha....

Friday night was senior night for the team. When they came out Charlemagne gave them roses and a picture of them. Well I was in the middle of the floor taking pictures then all of a sudden Charlemagne came up behind me and gave me 3 roses and a kiss (And the was in front of the whole gym!!) I was soooooo suprised! and happy of course...I would have never thought Charlemagne would do something like that..I mean in front of the whole gym...!

Saturday we just hung around the house. I got up and got my nails done and went to the gym...I found some pictures of me when I graduated college and I got so sad seeing how little I was compared to now! I started crying...So I am determined to get back into my 12s again!! I'm now in 14/16..so really I don't have that far to go. And my goal is to lose 20 lbs in 4 months so I will look at least halfway decent on the beach when we go...They have a little day care so I can take the girls during the day...That helps soooo much! After I did a little running around so I could get out of the house I came back finding lunch on the stove..We ate and just layed around the rest of the evening. We got back up later that night and went to Cracker Barrel...It was so good!! And that was it for our vday!

I hope yall had a good one. Here is a picture of Charlemagne and the girls. We got him a card from them and Christa wanted him to read it, like 3 times...They were so cute!!!

I thought this was so cute of Christa. She layed there pretending she was talking on the phone...She's getting to smart!!

And here is the close up of her face...So sweet!

Christa's Birthday Party

Well Christa is officially 2 now..It's crazy how time flies by! We had a wonderful birthday party..Our theme was Elmo..We had bananas (elmo's fav snack), pizza (elmo's fav food), brite crawler sour worms (for big bird), cookies (for the cookie monster), hambergers and hot dogs. I think (or hope) everyone had fun. We rented on of those moon walks and the kids loved it..Christa opened her presents and was like "Ohhhh" when she saw all of them. She wanted to open them as soon an everyone brought them in...Eventually the party turned into a spend the night party. She had some of her friends stay and her cousin. they went to sleep watching Elmo about 12:00..I can't wait till she gets older and has spend the night parties with her friends. It was so fun to watch her. She has gotten to be such a big girl!!! Anyways, I have added a few pictures of her big day..I posted all of them on our web site: http://lifeofagibbons.shutterfly.com/ So check them out!!!

Christa & Friends I asked how old she was she said "two" and held up an one on each finger

She knows she loves her $$$
PICTURES FROM THE SLEEP OVER

All of them watching Elmo

The sleepover crew (minus the adult:)

Then they are all out..Notice all the goldfish snacks in the floor

The next morning

Me and my babygirl!!! 2 years old..hard to believe!!

Brea is sitting up!!

Our little girl is getting so big!! Sitting up and trying to crawl..This is just a little clip to let you see how she is doing..I hope all is well with you and enjoy!!

Also. Here is a video of Christa doing the Head, Shoulder, Knees, & Toes song..Tooooo funny!!

Our new president

We were watching all the inagraution stuff on TV and when Aretha Franklin sang "My Country Tis of Thee,. Christa started to dance and try and sing the song. I thought I would share the video of her singing and dancing.

Notice her microphone is a spoon. This girl is tooooo crazy!!

Christa is turning 2!!

I can't believe it! My baby girls is growing up! It has been an amazing two years with her. Watching her learn new things everyday just wows me! Christa came into this world on Feb. 7th 2007. I started to go into labor right after I got home from a basketball game (and yes they did lose:)lol..I didn't know what I was feeling so I called my neighbor Heather (because she had already been through this with Brooks a month earlier) to see what contractions felt like. I called my mom and the doctor. I ended up going to the hospital at about 2 in the morning and had Christa the next day about 4:48 pm.

This is Christa when she was pulling up on things.

It was fun to watch her during her first year. First a bottle, then rice, then baby food, and now adult food. And boy does she have an appitite!! Holloring "Eat, Eat" when she gets hungry.

Also during her first year, watching her lay around, then sit up, then crawl, and the amazing first steps! Now we can't stop her from climbing on the couch, chairs, desks, and early in the morning feeling her climb into our bed with her doll and a book saying "watch" and pointing at the tv. The first thing she wants to do in the morning while I am still trying to wake up is watch the Polar Express. Watching her know every little thing to that movie is crazy!!

Here are a couple of pictures from her first birthday. Look how much she has grown!



She is now becoming a little lady wanting to put deoderant on in the morning and say "teeth" to brush her teeth. She also loves her jewerly and shoes. She walks around the house with just her church shoes on and a diaper.

Watching her with her sister is also funny. She wants to be involved in everything! She tries to change her diaper and when she rolls over she taps her bottom to get her to roll back over. When she don't want Brea to touch what she has she taps her hand and says "Mine". That is one word I wish she didn't say!!

Christa and her little sis, Brea

Oh! and the amazing prayer she has just learned in the past couple of weeks. When we sit down at the table she wants to grab mine and Charlemange's hands so we can say Grace. And at the end she even says "amen"..of course not that plain.


So another year has gone by and I'm starting to plan her birthday party. Stay tuned for a blog about that!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!!! WE LOVE YOU!!

Just a couple of pics...

Just thought I would share a couple of pics I took with my phone the past two days..

Brea is sitting up!! I can't believe it!! She of course falls a little after, but she is getting better. She is also getting on all fours trying to crawl..This is a real good picture of her (I think..)

Then you have our crazy one of the house. I thought she was being awful quiet so I checked on her. Found her sitting in the floor marking all over her face and arms...Check her out!!

And what's funny about it, she was sitting right beside me...I was sitting at the computer and she wanted to "daw" (draw). So I gave her some paper and she got some dry erase markers. Well I was so wrapped up in getting my student teaching letter together I looked down and there she was....But you gotta love her...

Oh!!! I have to tell you this one...!

Every night we put Christa to bed..Well she stays and goes to sleep but by the time we go to bed she usually wakes up. Last night we were laying in bed and Christa kept coming in there trying to get in bed with us. Well after a couple of failed attempts she came in there (which was the last time). I looked down from the bed and she had her baby doll in hand and looking up at me with the saddest face!! She was even pouting her lip...So cute and hilarious!!! I couldn't do anything but laugh and get Charlemagne to look at her..While I was laughing and he was smiling while getting on to her she had the most serious look on her face (still with the lip pouting). It was so funny!!!! It's one of them moments you just had to of been there to get the whole feeling....
