happy birthday sarah!!!!!!!

12/20 sarah turned 8 years old. I cant believe how time flies. i remember when she was first born. she was so little, I'm sure she was average size to most people but to our family she was the smallest thing ever... She spent her eighth birthday performing in the nutcracker. sarah, nino and i are sorry we couldnt go see you but i'm sure you did a beautiful job. i hope you had a wonderful birthday (i'm sure you did with your daddy home :)) we all love you very much.

this is the first thing i saw when i opened my eyes this morning. jason and i are trying really, really hard to get jojo out of sleeping in our bed. he learned quickly not to wake and ask us to get in our bed, now he just gets on in. sometimes when i wake up in the middle of the night i find him at jasons feet hanging on by a leg, laying on top of me or on top of jason. oh yeah, this is terrible to say but our dog also sleeps in our bed. One morning i found jojo sleeping on the floor on top of hersheys bed. i wish i could say i felt guilty or sad but that was the best night sleep i had in a very long time.

i will say i was relieved to find him sleeping because the other morning i woke to the "snipping" of scissors. we all know that cannot be a good thing (especially where jo is involved.) he decided to give hershey a hair cut and if i wouldnt have woken at that very second hershey would be a one eared chocolate lab. I tell you again, he is so darn lucky he is so cute (joey that is).

look,look,look!!!!!!!!! she almost has enough hair to put one of those ridiculous, stick straight up in the air i dont know what to call them things..... maybe it could be considered the pebble flinstone look.

I think my time has come to get off the computer. i hear aj and joey fighting because joey is running around pretending he is wearing a bra and aj is telling him only girls wear bra's. i tell you life without joey would be absolutely boring and easy.
