Corn On The Cob

I love all of these pictures. Presley's smile is so big in this picture it makes her eyes shine. Brooke is always into something or finding different ways to experience her toys as you can see from the picture.
I gave the girls corn on the cob for the first time and they thought it was the neatest thing but didn't really know exactly what to do with it. I had to tell them to bite into it. Presley was bored really fast with the corn and started dropping it on the floor. She got a real kick out of that and laughed so hard. I did get a picture of Presley eating the corn but all of them her eyes were closed and I loved her expression on the picture with the corn on the cob.
I bought the girls some sun glasses. Presely is better about leaving them on than Brooke. But it still isn't much longer. Brooke is the one who doesn't like the sun but she will not leave them on.
She also closes her eyes when she has them on. It is so funny to watch her.
Please say a prayer for my sister-in-law Dottie. They are doing an invitro procedure tomorrow.
Pray that everything goes well and that the embryos take and she becomes pregnant. (with twins) Heehee! That would be neat to have another set of twins in the family.
I am off to bed. Goodnight!

Mother's Day Out

The girls had their first day of Mother's Day Out on monday and they did wonderful. When I picked them up they said their were no tears.
When we dropped them off I had to go buy their nap mats in the office and when we came beck to put the mats in their classroom they were leaving to go to music class. They both saw us but didn't care because they were too busy holding hands with their classmates. I am so mad I didn't get a picture but it happen too fast. I was trying to hurry so they didn't get upset by seeing us. We watched them for a whle and they seem to be having fun. It was so cute to just watch them inneract with other kids. This was the only good picture I got. I took others but they were not blog worthy.
The second picture was so cute because Presley was laying on the couch drinking her milk and Brooke crawled up and laid next to her to drink her milk. So sweet. Brooke is so sweet to Presley. She is more affectionate to her than Presley is to Brooke. I know so weird. Brooke will kiss and hug Presley but Presley doesn't do it to Brooke. Presley will kiss mom and dad all the time but Brooke only does it when she chooses. So funny. Brooke bit Presley for the first time this morning. I hope it doesn't happen again.
I made sure to tell them at school so they could watch for it. Thank goodness all was well.
Goodnight I am off to bed.

Swimming With Friends

I am behind on my posting. Last Sunday, we took the girls to the Woodruffs house to swim. They have a beach entry with a water spout. The girls really enjoyed their pool. They also played on their swing set as well as jumped on their trampoline. They both loved the trampoline. Sorry I have no pictures because my camera battery went dead. Jill got some good pics on the trampoline. I will show those to you when she sends them to me. Brooke and Presley laughed so hard on the trampoline. It was too cute. Daddy said, we would have to get them a trampoline because they were so adorable. Of course, not anytime soon. I think we can wait on that purchase for a while. The girls loved playing with Erin and Jensen. We had a fun filled weekend.

Yummy

I just had to post all my favorite popsicle pictures. The picture of the two of them with their mouths open is right before we gave them their popsicle. They didn't know what to think.
I love the one where Presley has hers on the ground. She was so cute with her popsicle. I don't think she ate very much of it but she sure did enjoy playing with it. The picture where Brooke is putting her hands together is her sign for more. We had just taken her popsicle away because we thought she was done and obviuosly she wasn't finished. She wasn't too upset. We gave them a quick water hose bath and took them inside and boy were they tired. The girls went to bed and they were out as soon as their heads hit their pillows. Oh, to be a kid again. I would love to experience all that they are experiencing again.
I have a feeling we will be in the sprinkler alot this summer. After the last couple of days it might be everyday. Well, I am off to bed. Thanks for looking. :)

So Much Fun

Clay and Josh came over on Sat. We had so much. We ate watermelon, played in the sprinkler, had a wagon ride and the girls had their first popsicle. Presley was a little more reserve with hers. She held it for the longest and would barely lick it. Then she would touch it to the ground. Brooke was all into the popsicle. She was in heaven. It was a fun day and everyone played well together.

Water Fun

I went to Target the other day and decided the girls needed a water sprinkler. I found one and I named him Mr. Wiggle. They absolutely had a blast. I took so many pictures that I couldn't pick so I posted a bunch. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. We played in the sprinkler two days in a row. I wasn't going to let them play tonight but they found Mr Wiggle in the garage and guess what they played in the water. These are the battles I love. It was so much fun watching them. I think I had a permanent smile on my face. I just can't believe how much I enjoy watching them explore and see things for the first time. They are really getting to a fun stage and I find myself wanting things to slow down so I can enjoy these moments for a bit longer. They grow so fast. The picture of Presley holding her nose is so cute. She just learned that today. I was holding my nose and saying, "shoo wee," and she started doing the same thing. It's amazing how fast they learn. Their little brains are like sponges. The girls start Mother's Day Out on Monday. I am beside myself with joy. I hope that doesn't sound too bad but I am ready for a break and some ME time. I dearly love my children but I totally understand why people say stay at home moms have the hardest job. But it is worth every dirty diaper, every whiny child, every hug and kiss, every smile, every frown, all the food flying, all the extra work, all the time, and all the love to stay at home with my two precious girls. Well enough of my babble I am tired and must get to bed. Goodbye!

little Swimmers

Here are a few more photos from Sun. The first two pictures are when we first put them in the pool. They wouldn't let go of their watermelon as you can see. They loved swimming and had a blast. They slept through the night and even slept til 7:45 the next morning. They were wore out. This is a short post because I have a lot to do tonight. Thanks for looking.

Yummy Watermelon

We had a wonderful family weekend. We had Grandma and Grandpa over for dinner on Sun. The girls went swimming in our pool for the first time this year. I must say they love to swim, the water was a perfect temperature to match the hot day. I absolutely love these pictures of the girls eating watermelon. Brooke should have turned into a watermelon as much as she ate, she had 6 pieces of watermelon. she even took it into the pool because she wouldn't let go of it for a minute. She LOVED it! Presley likes it but not as much as Brooke. She would just hold hers and lick on it. She did eventually eat it later. Mind you this is not the first time they have eaten watermelon but it is the first time it hasn't been cut up in pieces. I love all the photos but my favorite is the side view of Brooke eating the melon. I don't know why, but, it is. I took so many pictures so I will show you more over the next couple of days. It was a fun filled weekend. I hope everyone had as much fun as we did and made lots of memories.

More Birdie

These are the pictures I promised you from the bird sanctuary. I put the photos of Presley in order in the previuos post of how it happened. The first photo she tried to grab the bird, the second she was grabbing the feed stick and the third the bird flew from the feed stick, the expression on her face is adorable. It is hard to see because the birds wings were flapping in front of her face but it is visible. Brooke held the feed stick up but as I told you before she would drop it when a bird landed on it. Too funny! I think the bird sanctuary was my favorite part of the zoo. Most of the animals were not as active and boring, maybe it was the time of day. The monkeys were playing some but still not as much as I have seen in the past and they are always my favorite. Brooke and Presley love making the monkey sound. Please be sure to look at the previous post also because I had too many pics to post in one post so I had to split it up in two posts. Have a wonderful Memorial Day.
