all about alivia (well, mostly)...

i seriously can't even believe that i am taking time to sit here and blog right now, i have so much else i need to be doing...
i'm such a procrastinator, sigh...

but, i have so much that i need to quickly catch up on. mostly about sweet alivia.

you see, yesterday was a big day for her in many ways.
the morning started out about as cute as you can possibly imagine.

her first day at ballet. and can i just say that watching seven tiny, pretty little girls twirl around in pink leotards is just about the cutest thing you could ever see...
and when one of those sweet girly girls is your very own, well...
that can just about bring tears to your eyes.

i debated for a while to do ballet or gymnastics with her (i know she is young and has plenty of time to try out both). i really wanted for her to do gymnastics. after all that was always my childhood dream, and a quick look at alivia she just looks built for gymnastics. however, twirling around in pretty dress ups is her most favorite thing. and seeing as how i am no mother to twist my child's arm into my direction... ballet won.

and i am so very glad it did. alivia beamed with delight as she danced around following every instruction the teacher gave her, best to her ability.


later that night alyson and i took the kids and headed to my parents condo. brian and i plan on staying there for the next week and a half for a mini get away.

typical of my life i wait till the last minute to do everything...
i wanted to start getting things ready there so that we could sleep there and my house would stay clean for nataleys birthday party.

right after dinner, alyson and i were putting things away. there is a glass coffee table in the family room. we usually put if off to the side when we stay there but i hadn't done it yet. alivia went to climb up on it, alyson told her to get down. and christopher was trying to help her off of it when it crashed and shattered down with her in the middle of it!

all i can say is thank god alyson was there. cause i freaked out! we got her all cleaned off, and i am still shocked that all she had was a few cuts on her one leg and one on her hand. we sat debating if she should go in and get it looked at. and me being me felt it was better to be safe then sorry....
but, i headed to the restaurant to get brians opinion first. he took one look and said... yep! so to the er we went.

she did end up with three stitches and there was still one piece of glass in the cut, so i am glad i took her in. she did pretty well during the stitching, a little whiney but no screaming.

i always knew alivia would be the one to need an er trip first! i knew the "no fear" attitude would get her into trouble at some point of her life.

anyway...
we... i survived our first "trama" er trip!

sigh, now...
onto sewing the finishing touches to the girls dresses for nats party!



oh yea!
i said all about alivia mostly...

levi and alivia had their check ups this morning...

and as dr. southerland was checking out levis personal parts...
levi decided to tell his dr. about the game he likes to play on the wii which happens to be set up in my bedroom, which he happens to refer to as "mommys game"...

so this is what came out of his mouth as the dr. was pulling down his undies...
"i like to play mommys game in her bed"....

my face got a little red with that one. my son and his perfect timing!
