Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day to all our BurtFamily blog readers! Today finds us indoors as its VERY cold outside. We are all doing really good these days!

Kaitlyn is loving to dance and "ummmppp" also know as jump these days. She doesnt get off the ground when she jumps, but as long as she thinks she is getting there! She is even more talkative saying things like "bye bye elmo" and "i luuu u" for I love you and makes sure we know when things are all gone by saying "all on" She loves waking Ryan up in the morning by climbing in his bed and squirming like a wet fish or beating on his head. Needless to say, Ryan hates it. He is not the morning person like his mom. Kaitlyn is getting four teeth and getting over a sinus infection...but she is still her happy, silly self...just snotty! We just got home from the pediatrician to find Trevor sent me a dozen red roses. They are beautiful!

Ryan is doing great in his 2 day per week preschool and will go four days next school year to their pre-k 4 program. My baby boy is going to be 4 in a little over a month...its crazy how fast he has grown up. His newest saying is "start up the party." You just never know what will come out of his mouth. Trevor and I are scared he is going to be a class clown. I got a little taste of his silliness yesterday at his class valentine party. He was very happy to have his mommy there. Wonder when moms are no longer cool? He is 1 1/2 years away from kindergarden. He said he wants to ride the bus with mommy to school. I couldnt imagine putting him on a school bus but he has the right idea tht hes just not ready to go it alone. I wish he was bike riding distance to school, he would love that and I would love the exercise getting him to and from.

Trevor is still learning the ropes over at Methodist. He has been there about 6 months. I havent worked in about 6 months, except for a little Southern Living on the side. I am trying to start doing pediatric therapy again one or two afternoons/days per week.

Below are some pics from my attempt to get a cute Valentine's Day photo to share...

My spaghetti and meatball loving Italian kids!

Ryan's class party

Snow day, trains, undies and more!

Ryan absolutely loves trains! We set up his geotrax collection in the family room for a few days and made our best layout ever.









We had a good time at the annual Winterfest in Pearland today! Ryan and Lucie made snow balls! The kids also got to ride a camel. Ryan and Kaitlyn got to ride their first school bus too...I know Ryan loved that part. Lucie, being the big 2nd grader said she has been on a bus "15 times."

My last thought...Funnel cakes...yummy!

Kaitlyn attempts to dress herself by putting on Ryan's undies. She did this the other day while I was folding clothes. It was too funny...after she put both her legs in the same hole of his green race car undies, she wabbled to her room and grabbed a diaper. Now, if she wasnt totally scared of the toilet we would so be going with the whole potty training thing! But, this child is terrified of the toilet. Oh well, for now, she will be playing with her brothers underwear.

Helloooooo!

Little lady is already chatty! She loves talking to daddy at work "Hiiiii daaa-daaa" followed by the cutest babble around!

PARTY TIME!

A few pics from the Southern Living open house I had in December. Im now an independent consultant and having fun with my new little job. Check out my website... www.southernlivingathome.com/kathyburt

January is off to a fun start!!!!

MONSTER TRUCKS!!!!!

Ryan and Trevor went to the monster truck show with some friends and they all had a blast. Kaitlyn has discovered that there is nothing better than markers...on the face, furniture, clothes, and occassionally paper! Latest art project found on our entertainment center using a BLACK sharpie. Hummm, think its time to hide them? Ryan's response..."I saw her do it mommy, Kaitlyn did it."

Kaitlyn is talking up a storm! Her newest words are milk, shoe, puppy, baby, "wa wa" for water, "Ryai" for Ryan, bath, and the cutest is "iiillluuooo" for I love you.

Look at her go with the boots and sunglasses...yes, she picked these!!!!
