point two





When Dixon arrives at home it takes him about point two seconds to get his coat off, throw it on the floor, find the ipad and pull up Angry Birds. 


Have you jumped on the Angry Birds wagon?
If not, I must reccomend it. 
Yes, this is me, hater of all things video game, promoting a video game. 
It is seriously addicting.

what's on my playlist

We've been having some changes lately at the Alexander house.

One of them has been our church.

I had been feeling the tug for a while now. To attend a newer church in our town and I can not tell you how much I am loving it. There are a ton of kids and a lot of people our age.

The timing has been amazing and I just feels great to be a part of it.

Here is one of the songs that we sing. I can not tell you how much it speaks to me right now. Plus, I think it fits the blog theme pretty darn well too. 

I must say though, it is not as good here as it is at church, the worship team does awesome, and I can barely hear myself belting it out.

Mr. Potato Head is a sass pot and other unrelated thoughts.


As I look at these pictures, I can't help but share a few thoughts.

1. Breckie will sit for two whole showings of Toy Story I. 

2. Because I have seen it so many times I have noticed that Mr. Potato Head (pictured) is quite the sass pot. 
Did you know he asks Slink, "Did you take stupid pills this morning?"
And when he thinks that Slink is kissing up to Woody, he removes his lips and puts them on his rear. 
Vulgar, I tell you. 
Still, we watch it everyday, sometimes twice. 

3. My floors are dirty, this is typical. At least once I day I think to myself, "I wish I was a better homemaker."
It is not my fault, this is just not the way I was programmed. Tasha got the homemaker gene straight from Grandma Patty, the same one that Aunt Darcy inherited.
I often wish I was one of those people, who "can not go to bed with a messy house."
Obviously I am not.

 4. Breckie is darn cute and these striped fleece pants make him even cuter. 
I am so glad I bought the next size up for next winter, as well. 

5. I am really glad we went to all of that work this summer to have our hard wood floors refinished. Now I no longer have to strategically crop photos to hide the rough spots. 

6. Both boys love the new Weebles (pictured) and the playhouse that Grandma Wendy got them for Christmas. Breckin especially loves to push them around the floor and chase after them. 



7. Don't you just love the bottom of little baby feet, they are so soft, sweet and scrumptious.

8. Is it me or does Breckie look at least 10, the way he is laying on his tummy and kicking his legs? Can't. 

9. Today I registered Dixon for pre school. kmn. Of course, I didn't realize that it takes an act of congress to enroll your child in pre school and I did not bring four of the five needed documents.

10. It is snowing here today and I like it. It makes me feel like it is ok to stay inside, watch Toy Story twice and lay on the couch.

is this thing on?

Here are two real time pics of the men of the hour. 
One just before his shower, and one right after his. 
Yes, my almost three year old still has wubba...but you may notice that the whole paci is cut off...
He still likes to hold it to his cheek and snuggle. 
And throw it out of his crib and scream for it. 
And yes, my almost three year old is still in his crib. 
{Is this ok?}
He seems to like it and has never climbed out. 
But I think it is time. 
Big boy bed time. 
While we are on the almost three year old I also need to say he hates everything potty, underwear, ect. 
This could be interesting. 
Stay tunned. 
He is also wearing his Star Wars shirt, who are his guys of the week. 
Two weeks ago was Bat man. 
Last week was helicopters.
Why yes, that is laundry on the top of my couch and I am pretty sure it has been there for at least six days.

Oh and yes it does appear that Breckie needs a hair cut, doesn't it?
And his hair is mighty red in that pic, in real life it appears much more strawberry blonde. 
I am holding off on the haircut with hopes of little toddler curls. 
Pretty sure it is not going to happen, except for when he gets out of the shower and I scrunch it up. 
I may need to use mousse. 
And possibly a diffuser. 
He is working on some major teeth. Major. 
All to no avail. 
I am pretty sure D had most of his teeth by his age. 
He also refuses to walk. 
On his feet that is, because he does walk {and dance for that matter} on his knees. 
It is almost spring break and you have no idea how grateful I am. 
No idea. 
We are not going anywhere major, but I am planning some small adventures, for my small men. 

I am having a wedding shower for my sister, Tasha. 
It will not be as big as the shower of the century. 
But it IS Tiffany themed. 
Normally I am not a theme kind of girl. 
Unless the the theme is T and CO, that is.
