Play Date

The girls had a play date today with Aleck. They really played nice with him. He is so adorable and such a happy baby. I knew it was hard to get a picture of two babies but three was almost impossible. This was the best we could do. They were going everywhere but where we wanted them to go. It was quite humorous, after I looked at the photos, to think we thought we were going to get a good photo of all of them. As you can see Brooke is on the move and so was Alec. It is hard for her to sit for very long unless of course she is getting into something she shouldn't, then she will sit forever. Thanks Brenda for bringing him over today. We will come to your house next time. It was such a great visit and I enjoyed the adult conversation.

I put the Christmas tree up tonight and never visioned it would look this way. We actually have a gate around it to keep the girls from messing with it. It cracks me up. I love it because it shows I have children and sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it is all so real. I still can't believe sometimes that I am a mother. I know I 'll believe it when they start hollaring MOTHER but I will still love it even then. I looked at the girls proofs today and Oh my goodness so cute. You will see a little when I send out the Christmas cards. Oh and by the way they will be close to Christmas probably the week before Christmas. I better get to bed. Goodnight!

Presley's Lovey

Presley is so attached to her lovey. It just started last week. She carries it around everywhere. She use to only have it when she went to bed but I made the mistake of giving it to her a couple of times to console her. She now wants it quite often. She is addicted to it. Oh well, it could be worse. It's a good thing I have two of them so I can keep them washed (I think I need a third lovey to make it easier on mommy) She puts it in her mouth and chews on it when she is going to sleep. It can really start to smell after a while. (yucky!) Presley is walking a lot more she is still so determined but will still crawl at times. Her problem is thinking she has to carry something in both hands while walking and it throws her concentration off and of course, she falls. But she will get right back up with her hands full and fall again. She'll learn one day. I bought them the cutest shirts the other day at Old Navy with gift certificates from their birthday. They have them on in the pictures. Presley's says I heart my daddy (because he buys me things). Brooke's you can see in the photo it says, Daddy answers to ME! Is that not so perfect for, "Ms. Queen B." I loved her face in the one picture. It fits the shirt perfectly with her expression. Brooke has the funniest personality, she will just walk around and laugh out loud for no reason. It is so cute.
We went to eat dinner tonight at Soup or Salad (I think the title is wrong). The girls did really well again. This is the second time to go but the first time with daddy. They love the jello and the ice cream. Presley thought the ice cream was a little cold but still liked it. The girls were finished eating and I left their toys in the car (duhhh!), so I pulled out some mittens and pretended they were finger puppets and was playing with them. They were laughing so hard it was so precious. Presley really had a good hard belly laugh. I know I have mentioned this before but I LOVE to hear my children laugh. It touches my heart so dearly and I think we are so lucky to have such wonderful girls. I hope they stay that way. Sorry I haven't posted in a week but we were all sick with the stomach flu it only lasted 24 hours but was not good. So for all of us it has been a bad week. I was really sick yesterday like in bed. Thanks to my MIL for saving the day. I don't know what I would have done because Gary was out of town. Well, I'm glad it's over. Thanks Pat! I am having a me day tomorrow. I am so excited. A much needed one. Goodnight!

Christmas Tea 2007

We went to a Christmas Tea today and the girls were so cute. They sat on Santas lap and did very well. Brooke was so mesmerized with Santa. She couldn't stop staring at him. Presley kept her hat on but Brooke of course, would not keep hers on. Thanks to my mother-in-law for going with us. I couldn't have done it without her. The girls were everywhere. I thought for sure they would be fussy because they were that way all day and didn't sleep very well the last couple of nights. They were great while we were there, they waited to be fussy when we got home. Their little dresses had adorable matching jackets but since it was so hot out today I opted to not put them on today. I had their pictures made last week and they wore these same dresses. I love that they got to wear them twice and the best thing is I bought them second hand which I'm sure this will be the last time they wear them. I love finding great deals. I am pooped and have some sinus issues so I am going to veg out and watch some Sunday night TV. I love Brotheers and Sisters. I think it is my new favorite show as well as October Road. I am addicted to both. Goodnight and have a great week. Oh yea tomorrow is hubby's birthday. Happy Birthday Gary.

New Coats

These are the new coats the girls received for their birthday. They had a ball trying them on and playing in them. I am back to the doctor with Presley tomorrow. Her left eye is red,watery and goopy (Is that a word). I want to make sure it is not pink eye or something else. The weekend is coming and I don't want her to be bothered with her eye. We stayed in today because we were tired from yesterday. It was a much needed rest day today. I just love to sit and watch them play. They are just so cute right now. I love this age. Presley is my little lover and Brooke is a little character. I have to watch Brooke with Presley because she plays rough and doesn't realize it yet. Poor Presley is a little sensitive. I better get busy getting my stuff done. Goodnight!

My Sweet P

My Sweet P is walking. She will take 5-7 steps and then fall and get right back up again and fall again and get right back up. She will get so mad when she falls. I think she will catch on faster than Brooke did because she is so determined to walk. She gets so excited when she does walk and she will have the biggest smile on her face. I had to post these photos of the girls and I because I am never in the pictures because I am always taking them. I love the smile on Brooke, those are hard to get of her. My two little blessings.

I am so tired. We got the girls 1 year pics taken today. They were so cute and I think we got some great ones. We ate lunch and went to Southlake Town Square and were gone all day. Oh boy, I paid for it later in the evening. Brookie was Fussy! That girl needs her sleep. She did nap but not as long and of course it wasn't in her bed. I don't do this often but it was such a pretty day. Thank goodness for my help from my MIL. She was a life saver today. I was looking for matching pajamas. I want that to be a new tradition every year that we all look similar on Christmas morning. Well, I need to take a shower and get my butt in bed. Every day is busy with 1 year old twins but of course I cherish every minute with them. Goodnight.

More Thanksgiving Pictures

My little Brookie wouldn't leave the tablecloth alone. Presley was in on it also, you can't see her because the tablecloth is covering her. Daddy and Presleyso Cuutteeee! They are both daddy's little girls.
The last two pictures are them opening up Aunt Dottie and Uncle David's birthday gifts. They bought them the cutest coats, pants, and scarves. I will post some photos of the girls in their new coats hopefully tomorrow.
We are going for their one year pictures tomorrow. I can't wait to see how much they have changed since the last photos. Probably a little bigger and more hair.
We had their one year well visit today and Brooke weighs 22'10 and Presley weighs 21'6. It was hard because I went by myself to the doctor today. Whew! undressing and dressing two 1 year olds was tiring. But everything is going well with the both of them. We are officially off of formula, Yahoo! I think we just got a raise. Daddy says we will spend it clothing them now. He's right, with two girls it is so hard. You have to by outfits plus accessories, oh and don't forget SHOES. They will be just like their mommy with shoes. Well I must get to bed. I have to have myself and two babies ready by 9:30. I will be busy busy in the morning. Good thing I won't be in the pictures because I will be sweating trying to accomplish everything by myself. Goodnight!

Fun For A Little While

The girls were playing so well together on this day until Brooke took over the toy and made Presley cry. Presley has been taking a couple of steps but still not walking. She is taking her sweet little time which is fine by me. My post are much shorter now because I am tired, the girls wear me out lately. I haven't even been in my craft room in a long time. I am having stamping withdrawals. Gotta go before October Road comes on (my new favorite show). Happy Day!

Presents

Okay here are some pictures opening presents. They were the cutest, they tore into those packages like they knew what to do. I can't wait for Christmas.

Eat Cake

Here are more of the birthday pictures I promised to post. The girls were so cute with their cakes. Presley's was demolished and ended up on Brooke's side. I think Brooke ended up eating more of the cake than Presley but Brooke didn't like the icing. It was really sweet and they are not use to sweets. But they bothe did really great with their cake eating.

Our Family

One more post for the day. This was the best we could do for a family picture. Presley was getting fussy and was wanting down. It will have to do for now.
