Top 5 Songs

Okay this was the hardest topic yet. I love music so much and it depends on what mood I am in that determines what I listen to. So here ya go again in no particular order.

- Any song by Stevie Ray Vaughn. I am a huge fan and I love to listen to his music. It also reminds me of growing up becuase my dad used to listen him.

- Best of you by Foo Fighters. I have recently been told by Britta's husband Paul that this song is orginally a song by Jimi Hendrix. Well I am a huge fan of Mr. Hendrix but I have not heard his version, I will probably like his version more but I have to be honest and say I haven't heard it. So for now I will put it down as a Foo Fighter song but I will give credit to Mr. Hendrix if it is his creation. Also Prince preformed this song at the SuperBowl half time show and did a great job.

- Jambi by Tool. I have always been a Tool fan but since I have been dating John I have become a HUGE fan of the group. John and I got to see them in concert this summer and all I can say is that they are truly artists.

- Not Ready to Make Nice by Dixie Chicks. I actually like all of their music. I am a huge fan and when traveling I love to try and sing their songs, (I didn't say I was good at it but I love to sing to their music), just ask John he has heard me sing all of their songs.

- Any song by the Gipsy Kings. I absolutely love their music. When I hear their music it makes me want to be on a beach somewhere on a warm summer night drinking a margarita!

Okay I have to have a few runner ups: Boys of Summer by Don Henley, one of my absolute favorite songs. Wish you were here by Incubus, I love this group. Any of the songs by The Pussycat Dolls, when I am in a feisty or dancing mood I love to listen to any of their music.

Blaise's 4th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Blaise :)

I can't believe he is 4 years old. I started a new tradition with this birthday, from now on when Blaise was born, which was at 1:20 p.m., I will either be with him or if I can't be with him then I will call him and tell him Happy Birthday and that at this time _ years ago I gave birth to him and how much I love him. I started it this year and so I had lunch with him on Monday and I was looking at him at the time he was born and it was such a special moment. Blaise's response when I was being so sappy was "Mom why you saying that to me?" Oh well that wasn't the response I was looking for but when he gets older hopefully it will mean more to him.
We had another pinata this year for his birthday because it was such a hit last year. All of the kids really enjoyed it. I think the adults need to get one next year.
Blaise got a puppy for his birthday. She is 8 weeks old and is a black lab. Her name is Landry (at least that is her name for now until we can think of something better) She is so sweet and Blaise absolutely loves her.

Blaise playing in the snow!

I know these pictures are a couple of weeks old but I am just now getting around to posting them. Isn't this a huge snowman! Ok we didn't get as much snow as they thought but John and Blaise made the best of it and made a great snowman. Blaise kept trying to put a carrot and raisins in it but it wasn't working. I think this is such a great picture of John and Blaise.

Blaise of course took some dinosaurs outside to play in the snow with. Here he is trying to bury one of them.
Good thing I bought Blaise a ski outfit, because he was rolling around in the snow. He was loving it! Look at that cute smile!

Another cute picture of Blaise in the snow.
He loved making snow angels. By the end of the day our front yard was covered in snow angels!

Blaise Driving Home

Blaise absolutely loves to drive! John takes him around the neighborhood and lets Blaise steer and they usually go driving looking for rabbits. As you can see in the pics Blaise laughs the whole time. These pictures are from our drive back from Dallas after New Years. It is such a long ride so for being such a good boy John promised him that once we got into our neighborhood he would let him drive. Don't worry he only drives around our neighborhood. I wish you could hear his belly laughs!
