Obsessions

~The older Will gets the more obsessed he becomes with sports. Right now his favorite sport is football. He incessantly talks about football. All he wants to watch is football, even if he doesn't know the teams. He reenacts plays over and over again for me - sometimes in slow motion. His constant companion is his football. He takes it to school, sleeps with it and always has it in his hands. Luckily for me, the influence of the Utes is greater than the Gators at this point. Although, he did ask for a Tebow jersey for his birthday after watching last year's Gator games.

~Lizzy is as girly girl as you can get, which is very out of my element. She is obsessed with makeup, fingernail polish, clothes and jewelry. She marries her "Prince Eric" daily and they travel around the world together. She sings and dances around the room and every once in a while she persuades her brothers to join her.

~Not much has changed for Matty over the past year as his obsession remains Superman. He still HAS to wear a superman shirt everyday and wash is much more frequent to keep up with his obsession. Lately he has been imitating Will's love for football, so the tides might be changing!

~Besides pulling everything out of the drawers and making huge messes, Timmy is obsessed with Lizzy and she loves the attention. She carries him around like her own. Rocking him when he cries and patting his back when he is tired. He will follow her around and put his arms in the air waiting for Lizzy to pick him up. Timmy also tries to keep up with older brothers but still hasn't mastered their stride quite yet.

New Year's Resolution


I am not sure if I even remember how to use or change the features of my blog, it has been so long. After looking through my posts of 2009 I decided I am going to join the blogging world again. I have the worst memory and the only way I am going to recall things is by writing them down. If not for me, then at least for my kids. They are going to wonder what they did as youngsters. So, for one of my New Year's resolutions I am going to post once a week. Wish me luck...I haven't been very good at it in the past. Here is to 2011!!
