San Antonio


We took off last Wednesday for a little Texas getaway. Unfortunately, we only had one nice day of weather and Sea World was closed! (note to self, check the website next time.) Seph got in some well deserved golf time and I finished a book so all was not lost. Kate really enjoyed the Kids Club at the hotel and we all went to sleep by 8 every night! Jensen's really take the classy vacations! I'm thinking our next family vacation will need to be Disney World to make up for this one!!!! Here is the only picture from vacation...and yes that is Kate's iphone. I upgraded to a new one that has video and takes better pictures so we gave my old one to Kate so she can play her games and watch Dora. Spoiled!

"You've got to write that down!"

Kate has been saying some really funny things lately and my mom keeps telling me to write them down so I will have a record of it:) So here goes...


I was getting Kate dressed yesterday and of course she wasn't cooperating. Imagine that! :) I was getting frustrated and I said, "Stop it Kate!" Kate replied, "Why Mommy? Am I driving mommy nuts?" I just about died! They really do remember everything you say.

I said, "Kate, where are you?" She replies, "I'm hiding in my closet in my bedroom!" Good hiding sweetie!

When we were snowed in on Friday I thought it would be good to teach her how to shake hands when she meets someone. I also told her to say, "Nice to meet you." So we were at the grocery store on Saturday and a little old lady said hello to Kate. (Kate loves little old people and so do I!) Kate reaches out her hand and says, "nice to meet you." Everyone around us heard her and we all started laughing. It was really sweet.

Seph got home early from a trip and surprised us last night. Kate ran to him and jumped in his arms saying, "mommy, my daddy is home!" Makes my heart melt.

Kate's favorite movies are The Little Mermaid and Snow White. Both marry a prince in the end. Kate was in the bathtub and she asked me, "mommy, what happened to Snow White? What happened to the mermaid?" I said they both married a prince. I asked her who she was going to marry. She said, "Snoopy!" Yes, she really loves Charlie Brown too:)

Kate knows when she is doing something she shouldn't be doing, like picking her nose! Anyway, I tell her to stop and she always says, "Okay Mommy, I sorry, I not do it a again." Sometimes it's in question form if she's not sure if it's naughty or not...."I not do it again mommy?"

Her pronunciation is not always perfect and there are a few words I try to keep her from saying in public. Frog, Fox, and Bench are just a few. So imagine the scene when Kate spots a balloon in the shape of a frog at the grocery store check out line (Yes, we go to the grocery store a lot) "Mommy look, look Mommy a F**k a F**K!"

"Why Mommy, because mommy?" It's always nice when they can answer their own question! I really really love this kid!



more to come....

Just in case she gets lost

Quote of the Day

Kate decided to sleep in until 8 am this morning! I started to get a little nervous because she was going on 14 hours. So, I went into her room to check on her. She looked at me while rubbing her eyes, stood up and said, "Mommy, I got lots of sleep!" I love this kid!!!!!!
