Precius Baby

We had another visitor. This time it was Aunt Kellie and Baby Peyton. He is so adorable.
The girls loved seeing a baby, especially Presley. She was so mesmerized with the little one.
They were really good with Peyton, they wanted to pat him. Presley even gave him a kiss.
Brooke was a little jealous but not too bad. Presley would make a great big sister but we know that won't be happening. Sorry Presley!
Brooke is really starting the terrible twos. I need to work on her, she takes things away from Presley and thinks it is okay (not). Last night at swim lessons Gary said, "she was a booger." She was running around and getting into everyone's stuff and Gary would tell her, "no" and she would throw a fit and cry. She definitely needs special attention. Poor daddy, he was wore out last night and a little embarassed. All in all it was a fun day.
The girls slept later this morning. (yeah) I gotta go. Have a great day.

A Visit From Papaw

Papaw came to visit yesterday. The girls really enjoyed their visit with papaw.
They were so cute watching them interact with Papaw.
This is a short post becuase I need to get them ready for swim lessons.

Baby Card

I made this card for the baby shower I attended. This was the perfect card for who I was giving it to.
Paper: Blue Bayou, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery
Stamps: Cowboy Kid (retired), and Plaid Background
Sentiment: Made with my Cricut, font Opposites
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Black, and True Thyme
I colored the cowboy in with Gamsol and Prisma color pecils.
I also used my white gel pen on the paisley background.
I really liked the way it turned out. I am a little rusty. As I look at the card I feel like
I should have matted it with more colors. Oh well!

Snowy Day

Look at Presley's big smile on her face. She was so cute and she loved the snow. She kept smiling the whole time we were outside. My little cutie patootie! Notice she is wearing her mittens, like a good girl. Brooke on the other hand is already not happy because she has fallen and her hands are cold. She got up and walked around for a little bit but as you can see in the other picture her little paws are cold. Poor Brookie, I don't think she cared too much for the snow after she got cold. She didn't even care about the neighbors snowmen. She came running over to me and wanted me to hold her. Yes, you guessed it our little snow play was over because Brooke wanted nothing more to do with the snow.
Presley on the other hand could have stayed out much longer. She kept touching the snow and just had this look of amazement on her face, as well as the permanent smile. It was so worth the trouble of getting them dressed to see their reaction.
I went to a baby shower today and it was so neat to see all the cute stuff. It really made me think back to my experience and to think my girls are no longer babies, they are toddlers and can I tell you, they are starting to act like toddlers. We are starting to have little crying fits. They are no fun, trust me. I hope this phase ends soon. I love those little girls with all my heart and will cherish every moment good or bad.
Goodnight!!!

First Snow

I just had to get the girls dressed this morning so they could see the snow. I took the first one without their little hats and mittens. Brooke would not let me put her mittens on so I have a picture of her crying and holding her hands out. I will post it tomorrow. We took the other photo by the neighbors snowmen. They were so cute. Presley loved touching the snow. Brooke was not liking it so much once she fell and her hands got cold. We were not out long but well worth the photos. Gotta go the girls are napping and I must get things done. Sorry for the short post but all I have time for these days.

Fun Times

Well, it's been awhile since I have posted. I am so out of practice. After my computer crashed I kind of got out of the habit of posting. I know can you believ it. I am still having some issues so I try not to be on my computer as much. I still need to load my photo software. I have been so lazy when it comes to my computer and never mind that the girls are keeping me busy and tired lately.
I enrolled them in Mother's Day Out and can't wait til June 2, which is their first day. They will go on Mon and Fri. Yahoo!!!
Brooke loves to push her babies around in the stroller Aunt Kellie bought her. She also gets mad at the stroller when things don't go her way. Presley loves to brush her teeth and yes, it has everything to do with her teething. She will chew on that toothbrush all day if I let her. They both are cutting 6 teeth all at once. Poor babies!
I will try to be better at posting for those of you who frequent my blog.
I gotta go and get ready for the maid. She is back after surgery and I am so grateful.
Goodnight!

Beautiful Day

The girls love to go outside now. If they know one of us is leaving they will run to the door and whine. I sure will be glad when they can communicate and let me know what they want. I love this picture of Brooke except for the hotspots in the photo.
I am still having some computer issues. I have been getting viruses still. I run my virus scan everyday just to mkae sure. I think it is from my external harddrive. I had the virus on my computer when I loaded everything on my harddrive so when they put my stuff back on the virus came with it. It is getting better but still not perfect.
I have had to spend the last couple of days going through my emails which I had 600 to filter. Man am I tired of looking at emails. I usually stay on top of it so I don't have to spend hours going through emails. I need to put my photo software on my computer but I am thinking of changing to a new one. I had Microsoft Digital Image Pro but thinking of switching to Adobe Photoshop. If any of you have used both and can give me suggestions I would love to hear them.
I better get off this computer the girls are napping and I need to get some things done before they wake up.

Finally I Am Back

Wow! I have missed blogging. I am having withdrawals. The girls love to empty out their toys and climb in the barrel. Of course, Brooke is always first and Presley has to wait until she is done, then she can get in the barrel. As of this weekend I have moved their toys into their room. I am tired of my living room looking like a daycare. They can bring toys into the living room but at night we put them back in their room.
Both of them are getting their back teeth. I am so glad because I won't have to cut everything up so small and they won't be so limited on what they can eat.
They are really starting to understand. I ask them something and they shake their heads "no."
Presley is the one that really tests me. Brooke gets her feelings hurt if I change my tone and she will start to cry. I thought it would be the other way around but it's not. They tend to change places all the time. Presley will follow Brooke, so if Brooke does something you can bet Presley will do it next. Brooke is definitely the leader and will probably be the bossy on (like her mother).
I am feeling much better. I have had to play catch up with the house since I was in the hospital. But the maid is back tomorrow. Thank you Lord for her return. My house needs a thorough cleaning. Speaking of I better get off this computer so I can pick up for her. I am so glad to be back. Thank you all for your concerns. I appreciate every one of you.

Computer Crashed

Hello everyone! My computer has crashed as you can tell, I haven't posted in a while. It is getting a new harddrive and I hope to have it back soon.

I also just got out of the hospital on Monday. I started having severe pain on my right side on Valentine's day. I will make a long story short. I went to the ER and they ommitted me because my blood work and white blood cell count was off. After many test the conclusion was diverticulitis and I will need to have my gall bladder removed and part of my colon at some point.
But, we all know, I will have to find some help with the babies before I do any surgery. I also want to get a second and third opinion.
I am feeling weak and haven't felt like talking much. Can you imagine me ever saying I don't want to talk. But when I am sick I just want to be left alone.
For those wondering where I have been am sorry for not posting sooner about my darn computer but I have been busy with other issues.
Thank you for being so patient with me.
Off to bed to get much needed rest so I can get better.

Finally A Card

Okay here is a Valentine card. I made a while ago but haven't had time to post. I can't give you the details because I have two babies crying and pulling on me. It's naptime. I gotta go to put my sweeties down for a nap. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will because my husband will be home. He has been gone all week and it has been a tiring week but it's over. Thank goodness.
