The Boardman Band: It Has Begun

It Has Begun

Our Christmas tree in all its glory!

We finished putting our tree up tonight! I love how putting up a Christmas tree has become a three day process when it used to only take us a couple of hours.

Day 1 - Get tree and ornaments out of storage area. Set up tree and put a few strands of lights on.
Day 2 - Put strand of lights with all of Matt's Star Trek ornaments and all other ornaments on.
Day 3 - Pack empty ornament boxes and put all the empty boxes away back in storage area.

I'm blaming it on the kids!

Bauer and Cadance could barely contain their excitement! We did have to trap Cadance in her high chair with a snack otherwise it would have taken hours to decorate the tree. She's too mischievous!

(Take 2 of the family picture since Matt's eyes can't handle the flash! I think the kids look better in the first one though, so I had to post both!)

Only 26 days until Christmas!! Are you ready?

Bauer Moments

Bauer - "Me and Daddy are the dads, you're the kid, and Cadance is the mommy."
Me - "Great, then you can do all the work and I'll play all day! That sounds perfect!"
Bauer - "Oops. No, you and Daddy are the parents!" (5/2/11)

We walked past some kids playing basketball: "Wow, they're really good!....But I'm a little bit better." (4/29/11)

Easter Morning "Cay-cay and me got the most wonderful things!" (4/28/11)

"I didn't do it. It was just a dream I had." Bauer woke up to Cadance crying and wanted to make sure he didn't get in trouble for it! (4/20/11)

"I just said quietly to myself, 'Hmm, I like bubbles.'" (4/19/11)

We were driving with the windows open and there was a car in the next lane that was making a loud clicking sound. The sound got louder as we passed it and Bauer started yelling, "Quick! Roll up the windows! I hear something outside that's trying to come it!" He thought there was a really large spider on our roof trying to climb into the windows. (4/10/2011)

"Dang you dull chicken nugget!" (4/6/2011)

Talking about pancakes, "It feels as soft as a chick's fur!" (3/31/2011)

Talking about a tornado, "It's like a straw...only a lot bigger and twisty-er!" (3/30/2011)

Cadance was being particularly troublesome one evening and Bauer said, "She's such a mischief baby today! She must have decided that at naptime" and "She's the most mischief baby we've ever had!" (3/29/2011)

Getting frustrated while playing the Wii: "Alright, that's it!" (3/5/11)

"I just can't stop eating these, they're so good!" (2/24/11)

Talking about how he wanted an "Angry Bird" party for his birthday, "Some boys can be red birds, and some boys can be yellow birds, and some boys can be blue birds. Who wants to be the pigs?" Me - "I don't know." Bauer - "Hmm....maybe....you do, Mommy." (1/23/11)

After opening a McDonalds toy while we were in the car when he was supposed to wait until we got home, "Well, I was just interested in opening it...so I did." (1/10/11)

Bauer has a loose tooth! (Although he kind of did it to himself...) (1/7/11)

Whispered into my ear, "I just tooted out of my weiner." (12/3/10)

Written on a Thanksgiving project for school: "I'm thankful for chicks because they're my favorite animal." (11/26/10)

Bauer couldn't understand what Cadance was saying while we were in the car, so he came to the only logical conclusion, "She's just speaking Spanish!" (9/16/10)

Cadance's Corner

When I picked Cadance up from nursery today she was so excited to see me! She leapt into my arms, gave me lots of hugs, showered me with kisses, patted my neck and said, "Hi Mommy!" (4/10/2011)

She can reach the doorbell all by herself now! (4/10/2011)

Cadance thinks cat food is a suitable afternoon snack. (4/8/2011)

She likes to say, "Shew" (as in "phew") when she does something strenuous. (3/30/2011)

"Oops-shie!" (3/4/11)

Cadance sucks her thumb. When I rock her before bed she likes to tease me with her soaking wet thumb by holding it inches away from my face and laughing because she knows I don't want her to touch me with it! (2/1/11)

"Yuh-yoo" - I Love You "Bye-yoo" - Bye, I Love You "Pubby" - Pumpkin "Ninguh Nie-Nie" - Little Einsteins "Min-uh-ma" - Mario (1/29/11)

Is obsessed with showing us the picture of the Deep Dark Woods in her Peep and the Big Wide World book. She even yells out something that's supposed to sound like, "Deep Dark Woods!!" and we have to yell it back and then she says, "Boo!" (1/21/11)

Taps my mouth and sings "E-i-o" to get me to sing Old Macdonald of sings "How I Wond" so that I'll sing Twinkle, Twinkle. (1/12/11)
