Happy Easter!
The Philiberts hosted a crawfish boil today. We had a great family day. Mikey's parents were there with us, Mom & Aggie were there and Meme (Ms Jane) was also there. Tammy's neighbors came by, we had a spacewalk and an Easter egg hunt, the kids had a great time, so did all of us adults!
Mr Mike & Mikey cut down the tree in the back yard today that we didn't care for (and have talked about cutting down for about 2 years!). Thanks guys for your hard work!
Mikey's parents will stay a while tomorrow to celebrate Easter with Phoebe! Aggie & Mom are heading home Monday, so they can spend Easter out here too! This is the best Easter ever! :)

Another trip to the dentist
Phoebe went back to the dentist today, they had to fill her cavity again. Dr Butler was great of course, Phoebe didn't cry or freak out, at all. And on the way out, she says "Dr Butler is sooo nice, I really like him". Just feels good to know that your child really likes a doctor after all that she went through with that first dentist experience. I highly recommend Dr Butler, a pediatric and adult dentist. I couldn't have asked for a better dentist for Phoebe, so thanks so much Jennifer for recommending him!
See the post regarding her first trip to the "mean" dentist as she calls her. Everytime we're going to the dentist, she says "we're going to the nice dentist, right mommy? we're not going to the mean one anymore, right?". Breaks my heart.

Community Support - Family Attacked by Own Dog
This is from my sister Tammy, I wanted to pass it along in case anyone wanted to help in any way, even if for prayers alone.
-----------------
March 29, 2011
My neighbor and his kids were attacked by their pit bull this weekend. They have twin boys (age 10) and one twin (Jake) was severely injured. A huge chunk of leg was taken out and his hand was also badly injured. Jake has a long and painful road ahead of him. Jake’s dad also received several injuries to his wrists, elbow and numerous bites from holding the pit bull down. Finally in an effort to stop the dog from attacking anyone else, they had no other choice but to shoot it. According to doctors, Jake will be in the hospital for a minimum of two weeks that will include intense surgeries and healing and that is not including any infection in the wounds that may occur.
This family has two other kids at home and one in school. The parents are trying to keep things normal as possible for the kids but given the circumstances, this will be a very long recovery process for this family.
I thought it would be a good idea to get some Restaurant Gift Cards in an effort to aid this family in their time of need. With everything going on and the hospital charges, the least we can do is possible help provide food for the family at home.
Prayers are also very much appreciated.
Thank you,
Tammy

Supermoon Weekend!
Me and the hubby took Phoebe bowling today, we had a great time. Then we hung out at the house waiting for Aidan to come over. He's sleeping over tonight and we're all heading to church in the morning. They're now in bed relaxing and watching Space Jam.
Tonight was the night of the "Supermoon". Mikey and I were able to see it for a couple minutes, but the clouds kept covering it, so the kiddos didn't get to see it. It was pretty darn bright!

Open Gym with Cousins
Aidan & Evan went to Open Gym with Phoebe tonight. Nanny took them there and me n the hubby went out to dinner. Phoebe is sleeping by Nanny's tonight and they are going to the zoo tomorrow. How I wish I could go, I know the kids will have a blast and I really hate to miss it. But I am swamped at work and I'd rather her go have fun instead of having Mommy catch up on work while she's with me.
Oh and cousins brought her a flower, which you can see in her hand, in the pictures below. :) She was so happy to receive that flower!! Cousins are so thoughtful.

Two trips to the dentist, in 3 days
On Sunday (2/28), Phoebe complained that her teeth hurt. she opened her mouth but we didn't see anything by quick glance. Then on Monday, I received a call from Mrs. West saying Phoebe didn't eat her lunch because she said her teeth hurt. I called the dentist and they were able to see her right away, so I grabbed Phoe and headed to the dentist. On the way to the dentist, we talked about her teeth and what was hurting and all, she said it didn't hurt right now. I assumed it was because it only hurt her when she tried to eat. So we get to the dentist and they ask her what's bothering her. She said "my teef were hurting, something was in them, but I got it out before I got here and they don't hurt anymore"... do you think she could've shared that bit of info with Mommy? Apparently she had a popcorn shell stuck behind one of her teeth and she got it out right before I picked her up. :) So the dentist took a quick look and then sent us on our way. I was relieved that she didn't have any dental issues yet.. well, at least until Tuesday night!
When I was reading to her Tuesday night, she complained that her teeth hurt. I said Phoebe, the dentist just looked at them and said they looked good. She said it hurt really bad. I asked her to show me and it was one of her molars. I got the dental pick and little mirror thingy and went digging. There was a popcorn shell stuck between 2 of her back teeth. But I still saw something after I pulled the popcorn out. I started picking at it and she said "oww mommy, that hurts". Yes, it ended up being a dag-on cavity. Ugh!
On Wednesday, she woke up and began crying that her teeth hurt. I gave her some Tylenol to see if it would help. About 1/2 hour later, she said she wanted to go to school and she felt better. So I brought her to school and told the teachers what was going on and I was going to schedule the appt and pick her up. Her appt was for 2:15. I stopped in to bring her lunch and she was in Open Gym and seemed fine. I went back to work and came back and picked her up at 2 and went to her dentist appt. She sat in the chair and they took xrays of her molars. She had her 6 month checkup in January and had her teeth cleaned, but they only took xrays of the front teeth. And this dang cavity was hiding between her molars, so it wasn't easy to see. Dr Butler came in and talked to her, then showed her all of the gadgets he'd be using. She did not like the vacuum thing that sucks the water out, I think it's the noise more than anything. But she let them put the filling in (using something similar to a squirt gun) and then they used the blue light for a few seconds to dry it. Then she was done, 1st cavity filled. Let's hope it's also the last!

Phoebe reading her first Bob book
Phoebe's preschool teacher, Mrs. West, recommended this book set for Phoebe. We received the books on Friday and this was Phoebe's first shot at it, I didn't help at all, this was all her. :)
She read books 2-10 last night.
Planting Phoebe's Flowers
Today we had to skip church because Mommy's face wouldn't stop running (still dealing with a cold), so Phoebe was disappointed. I decided to take her to Lowe's and let her pick out some flowers to plant. We just bought a few annuals. Once we got home, we ate a delicious lunch that Daddy cooked for us. He had me try Salmon for the first time, it was cooked on the grill, and let me tell you, it was yummy! I'm not sure I'd start eating it out or anything, but I'd certainly eat it if he cooked it.
So we all went outside after lunch to begin planting Phoebe's flowers. We got a few planted and then Phoebe wanted to take a break. We came in for a few hours and then she said she was ready to go back out and finish the flowers. Well after the 3rd bunch, she said "Mommy, you can finish the garden while I go play", lol! I said okay, it was getting pretty hot out there anyway. And about 2 minutes after that, she said she was going to sit inside and wait for me. Dadda was inside playing his game, so I told her to stay in the living room so I could see her through the window. She was there the first few times, then I didn't see her. I came in and she way laying in our bed. I asked if she was going to take a nap and she said yes. Let me tell you, this was certainly a first! There wasn't a tv on, no one told her she needed a nap, when I went in there, she didn't ask me to stay with her or turn the tv on, she fell asleep within 2 minutes!
Well I finished planting her little flowers and she told MawMaw & PawPaw she'd send them pictures, so here they are. :)
And here's proof that she passed out! :)

Working out with the hubby
Since I have every excuse under the sun on why I don't get to the gym, Mikey has offered to work out at home with me, after we put Phoebe in bed. That way I don't miss out on time with her and he's my motivation to keep on schedule. We worked out for the first time last Thursday to Jillian Michaels (Biggest Loser), and she kicked our butts! Thankfully we started late in the week because I was still sore Monday when it was time to start again. We timed it perfectly. We've done it twice this week. I caught some kind of funk so I wasn't feeling great today, but I still worked out, so go me. :) It is much better to have a partner, cause if it was just me, I would've skipped. But I did it and made it through to the end. So you can push yourself, you just need that motivation!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Michael and I are talking about starting to work out together, then this is what he brings me for V-day! Lol!
I got the hubby a magnetic Saints dartboard (which Phoebe has already played!)
Here are pictures of the Valentines we made for everyone in Phoebe's class:

Kids Say the Cutest Things!
2/11/11 - We're by Tammy's for cake & ice cream to celebrate the boys' birthday. Tammy is asking the kids if they want vanilla or chocolate swirl, Phoebe says "Nanny, I want chocolate SQUIRREL", lol.
2/09 - Phoebe is in the process of learning lots of new things. So when she does well, or even tries, we tell her "Good job Phoebe, we're so proud of you!". Well I came home from work one day, she runs to the door -as she always does... and I picked her up and hugged her. She looks at me and says "Mommy, you were at work?" ... I said "Yes, baby, mommy had to work"... She looks at me, hugs me, pats my back and says "Mommy, I'm so proud of you!". I looked at Mikey and we both just giggled with glee, she really is the sweetest thing.
3/10/09 - Ms. Jude, Phoe's sitter, needed the day off to celebrate her anniversary. I was super busy at work so Mikey took Phoebe for the day. They went to his office so he could get a few things taken care of. He calls me on their way home after she fell asleep in the car and tells me what happened. He said, "I just had one of those 'proud to be a parent' moments. I was like what are you talking about crazy? He said Phoebe had to go potty at his office, they're in the stall and she grabs his face, looks at him and said "Daddy, I'm so happy". It just melted my heart when he told me that, so I can only imagine the joy he felt at that moment. To have your kid tell you out of the blue that they're happy... Oh my, what a wonderful thing. We are raising an Angel.
A few days after this, we put her earrings back in her ears (she had trouble and we couldn't get them out... she's terrified of anyone touching her ears now)... so Michael had to pop the skin to get the earring through. He takes her out the tub when he's done and he's getting her dressed. She's crying and says "Dadda, I'm so happy" in a crying voice, LOL!
Some other cute things that she does... if I'm holding my belly she'll say, "What's wrong mommy, does your belly hurt?" and I'll say yes baby, mommy's belly hurts. She'll say "Okay, Phoebe will rub it and make it better"...then she starts rubbing it, asking me if it feels better.
She'll also go "RAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!" acting like a lion, we'll act scared and she'll stop and say "Phoebe not scare you anymore, it's okay". =)
3/27/09 - I stayed home with Phoe since she was sick last night. We were eating breakfast and she only wanted sausage, she didn't want waffles, but I gave her some just in case. Well I love when she says "Why you eating my food, huh?!" so I recorded her saying that but then she tried to get me to eat her waffle too, lol.
2/26/10 - We were getting ready in the morning and she was singing in the mirror while I was brushing her hair. I began mouthing the words she was singing and acting like a fool of course, so she shakes her head and says "my momma be crazy" =)
3/1/10 - Phoebe is in the habit of saying her prayers before a meal and before bedtime. When she says the God our Father prayer, she ends it with her version of Amen which is All-a-men. So cute and innocent, gotta love it!
3/10/10 - To avoid whipping or raising my voice, I use the "counting to 3" warning... which works like a charm, I never get to 3! Well the other morning I was trying to wake her up and she kept falling back to sleep. After using the counting to 3 method, she was sitting up half asleep eating her breakfast. I kept aggravating her to keep her awake, she turns to me all serious and says "one.." I couldn't help but laugh!
10/2010 - Phoebe is too funny! When she's in the pantry and grabs something, if we say no ma'am, not until you've had real food, she says "I'm just looking at it"... then puts it down and runs to me, hugs me and says "I love you Mommy!", lol.
And if she's scared of something, she'll say she likes it. She comes home saying they talked about spiders, and she has this scared, fake giggle and says "I like spiders, did you know that Mommy and Daddy?", too cute.
12/2010 - We are in the car today (12/20), going to see the Kids Crazy Christmas Show and we caught the train. Phoebe rolls down her window and starts saying "come on people, please move, you can go, just go"... I started cracking up and then she started laughing and kept at it... telling everyone even as we were moving and they were at a red light "go go, you can go, move it"! Lol!
She also said today, after she saw me kill a spider, "Mommy, I'm 5 now so I will start killing bugs", lol. I said okay but check with me first because we only kill what might bite us (spiders, ants) and she said "ooh ooh, mosquitos!". Then she said, "don't 5 year olds kill bugs?", I told her not to worry, just leave it to Mommy and Daddy. :)
Mikey always jokes with Phoebe and says "Ima punch you in the face", she held up her fist (jokingly) to her daddy and said "Dadda, Ima punch you in the ..." and she paused for a few seconds and then said "Saints!", LOL!
12/25/10 - Phoebe and I are in the bathroom getting dressed to go by Tammy & Rudy's for Christmas.I put Tammy's red heels on my bed so I wouldn't forget to bring them to her. Phoebe took them off the bed and placed them on the stool in the bathroom. She got dressed and then I said "alright, go brush your teeth please"... she grabs the stool and is about to climb on it and says "mommy, these shoes don't go here", I said in a high pitched voice, not yelling or anything, just high pitched "well I didn't put them there silly, you did!", she responds with "i know mommy, just calm down", lol! It was so funny, especially since I wasn't upset.
Mikey told me later on that she told him to calm down too, this kid is such a kick!
12/27/10 - I'm getting ready to bring Phoebe to school and I'm on the computer responding to an email from work. I asked her to put her big coat on because it's cold out. A few minutes later, she's talking to herself saying "Uhhhh, I got this" (like George Lopez) and then a few seconds later, "Uhh, this is NOT good!" Lol! She cracks me up!
1/16/11 - I was sitting next to Phoebe on the sofa, I closed my eyes pretending I fell asleep and she says "Momma, turn on your eyes!", lol! I said what are you talking about? She said "turn on your eyes", I asked if that meant open them and she said yes.
2/3/11 - Phoebe just said "all the kids in my class like "the bieber", they are crazy about the bieber - (justin bieber) Lol!
2/09 - Phoebe is in the process of learning lots of new things. So when she does well, or even tries, we tell her "Good job Phoebe, we're so proud of you!". Well I came home from work one day, she runs to the door -as she always does... and I picked her up and hugged her. She looks at me and says "Mommy, you were at work?" ...

She got dressed and then I said "alright, go brush your teeth please"... she grabs the stool and is about to climb on it and says "mommy, these shoes don't go here", I said in a high pitched voice, not yelling or anything, just high pitched "well I didn't put them there silly, you did!", she responds with "i know mommy, just calm down", lol! It was so funny, especially since I wasn't upset.
Mikey told me later on that she told him to calm down too, this kid is such a kick!
12/27/10 - I'm getting ready to bring Phoebe to school and I'm on the computer responding to an email from work. I asked her to put her big coat on because it's cold out. A few minutes later, she's talking to herself saying "Uhhhh, I got this" (like George Lopez) and then a few seconds later, "Uhh, this is NOT good!" Lol! She cracks me up!
1/16/11 - I was sitting next to Phoebe on the sofa, I closed my eyes pretending I fell asleep and she says "Momma, turn on your eyes!", lol! I said what are you talking about? She said "turn on your eyes", I asked if that meant open them and she said yes.
2/3/11 - Phoebe just said "all the kids in my class like "the bieber", they are crazy about the bieber - (justin bieber) Lol!

RIP Shadow
Mom's dog Shadow passed away today, he's been a member of our family for 11 years. We'll miss you and that adorable, unique bark of yours Shadow. I know your pal Nila will miss you! But at least you and China will be together now, so tell my baby Girl I still think of her everyday. We love you Shadow!

Chuck E Cheese - Lilly's Bday Party
Phoebe was invited to Lilly's 4th birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. The kids had a great time, Phoebe did really well at the basketball game, she has her daddy's b-ball skills. :) We had 3 sketches made in the photo booth, since the only options were 1 or 2 people. I was surprised that the booth was open with no one waiting!
This morning Phoebe got up with me at 6:50, we played for a while then made breakfast, then got dressed and headed to church. Nanny showed up for church and she invited me and Phoe to go have lunch with her and Aidan. We went to Arby's in Atascocita, I haven't had it in such a long time! Then we stopped at Party City to pick up some Valentine treat bags for the Valentines we're making for her class. It was a nice, relaxing day. No rushing around, nothing else planned, it was nice!

Just blogging....
Today we went to church, Phoebe went to her Sunday school class and I helped out in Aidan & Evan's class since Tammy couldn't make it. After church we went home, grabbed Dadda and headed to Kids in Action for Lilah's birthday party. Phoebe had a great time.
She asked us to turn on the Karate Kid with Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan, this is her favorite movie right now and Turn on the Radio by Reba is her favorite song.

"The Chart" Comes Into Play Again...
Ever since Phoebe turned 5, she seems to be going backwards. The child never put anything strange in her mouth as a baby or toddler, but she decided to try tasting sand in the backyard not long ago. And she's been acting kind of pouty and whiney. If she wants to do something, or stay up past 8, and we say no, she puts her head down. I always made it a point not to buy things for Phoebe at the store if she was with me, I didn't want her to begin to expect something each time we went somewhere. Well she did great with that but lately she wants to get something, not toys or anything huge, just candy at the checkout line. I don't get much pouting out of her, but she tries with the "but Mom"... which she never used to do. So with these little changes, and a few others, I'm trying out "the Chart" again, before things get out of control. We set a goal of 10 stars, once she gets 10 stars, she gets a reward. She chose "family outing" as her reward. Well she took it very seriously all week and she got her 10 stars by Friday night, she even lost the 2 stars she earned on Monday. So let's hope we can keep this going! And if I know my girl, we will!

Girl's Day Out
Me & Phoebe had a mommy/daughter day. We went to see Tangled at the show, then met up with Nanny for a manicure. Phoebe chose 2 colors to have her nails painted. Nanny read "Lady and the Tramp" to her while she was getting a pedicure. Then we headed to the grocery store. We had a great day together.
