BIG FOOT!

The kids got to meet Big Foot today at the tire store...

Rodeo fun!

We all had fun at the rodeo on opening night this past Tuesday. Ryan loved the tractor display - BIG surprise!

Quote of the Day!

This is how our weekend started...Ryan was at gymnastics class staring into space. Using his best selective hearing skills, he would not answer the teacher when she was calling his name. Finally he responds and she asked Ryan if he was in LA-LA land. "No," he responds, "Im in Pearland Texas silly." Oh, were in trouble when our little class clown starts kindergarden. He already told us he likes to make funny faces to make his friends laugh in school.

Over the weekend we revamped our front yard putting pavestone renention stones around our trees. About 12 bags of dirt and 80+ stones later, were done. We planted purple petunias and some other white flowering plant I have no idea how to pronounce or spell. No pics of the yard yet..oops.

The kids loved spending a ton of time outdoors this weekend. We got to start our weekend with a birthday party for our 2 year old neighbor nextdoor, Priya. http://www.nila-priya.blogspot.com/ We also had dinner with our friends Rebecca and Davyd and their sweet little baby, Dylan; we went to church and mom had a Southern Living party to do. Oh, and we cleaned house too! It was a busy, but very productive weekend. Daddy even squeezed in a haircut.

Ryan and I started some seeds tonight. We planted Johnny Jump-ups and something random called bachelors button. Kaitlyn and Ryan are coloring as I type and Trevor is watching the Oscars. Oh, how we would love to be in LA tonight. We had a blast there last November.

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!
