What?!?!

I thought I would share a conversation that I had with AC the other night. I was watching TV and she was picking up the coasters off the end table and throwing them in the floor. I was being very helpful at one point, but it got old quickly. I should also add that there are about 50 coasters.

~AC throws coasters in the floor: "OH NO"
~Me: "Here Mommy will help you."

This happens 4 times in a row.

~My last reponse: "Mommy will help you this time, but if you throw them in the floor again, you will have to pick them up yourself."
~AC: "mmm K" (as she throws them in the floor again.)
~AC hollers: "HELPER!! HELPER!! HELPER!!"

At this point I am laughing at her trying to figure out who and/or what she is talking about.

~AC comes over to me and grabs my hand: "O'er here Helper"
~Me: "Oh, so I'm your helper."
~AC: "Jes"
~Me: "There I helped you pick them up."
~AC: "Thanks Babeee"

My thoughts afterwards: "Thanks Baby? Did she seriously just say that to me? I am now her helper and she just said Thanks Baby. When did my 20 month old become such a little grown up? Did this seriously just happen?"

The Playoffs...............

Kerry and I went to the Titans game Saturday afternoon. It was a disappointing loss, but we still love them!! They atmosphere was GREAT and we played well for the most part, notice I said most part. LOL!! After the game some people were angry, some sad, etc.... I, myself, was proud of the season that they had and am proud to call myself a Tennessee Titans fan!! I've been a fan for 10 years, so like some of you that follow them, I've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly, but never the less, I love those guys!! I was very lucky to find affordable seats in section 104. When I say affordable, I mean I only paid $45 over face value for playoff tickets, which was GREAT!!

Here is the view from our seats

This is why Kerry does not need a "rally" towel

He tried to put my eye out with it at one point. Those things are dangerous!! LOL!! How are the Steeler fans still able to see after all these years?

This is what you get when you get cold and drink too much hot chocolate!! LOL!!

I drank 2 of the $7.00 cups, which were souvenir cups, before I realized that I could just go pay $3.50 for a throw away cup and put it in my souvenir cup. The hot chocolate was messing with me. ; )

Christmas Slideshow...........

I'm a little behind............

I'm still working on Christmas pictures. These pictures were taken before Christmas, so I will try to gradually catch up.

Anna Claire's First Reaction Christmas Morning

Sorry it's sideways!! I turned the camera to get a better view and didn't realize I wouldn't be able to fix it on the computer, but you get the idea. :)
Her response, in case you can't understand her is, " awww, look, wow" with some other random sounds.

Here is what she was looking at............

I couldn't get it all in one picture.

I'll post a slideshow later with more pictures.

No Pictures!! No Pictures!!

I realize that it's not very interesting when I don't post pictures of Anna Claire, since I know some of you come here to see pictures. (Daddy/Grandpa) However, it seems that Anna Claire thinks that I am the paparazzi and every time I get the camera or my cell phone out she hollers "NO PICTURES!! NO PICTURES!!" Now granted, she HATES the flash on the camera, but I don't use the flash on my cell phone and I have the settings on my big camera set so that I don't have to use the flash, for this reason only. LOL!! Anyway, every time I try to take her pictures, she yells at me, as I've already mentioned, and then turns her head and peeks at me.

Like this...........

In the video below (you cannot hear the sound~not sure why) she was riding her horse that she got from Nana and Papa Ern on Saturday and was consistently telling me "NO PICTURES NO PICTURES" every time she put her head down.

And yes, she has on her pants and shoes with no shirt on. I promise she had a shirt on when we got there, but she started acting a donkey (as her Daddy would say) while eating dinner bc she didn't want to wear a bib, so they took her shirt off of her and then she refused to put it back on. I let her be, because at that point I was tired of hearing her scream bloody murder when something didn't go her way. She is usually very well behaved, but I'm not sure what got in to her Saturday night. She does love her new horsey though.

We are very excited about Santa coming tomorrow night and can't wait to see Anna Claire's reaction. Kerry has opened all of his gifts already, so we've been playing Guitar Hero World Tour a lot the past few days. If you don't have this game, you should get it bc it is a blast to play!! It's the only game that I can beat Kerry at! YAY!!!!!

Ride a Little Horsey...........
