Socks And Shoes

The girls love to put on daddy's socks and shoes. They are so funny. When they see daddy with his shoes on they will point to his shoes and want him to take them off. Presley will get so mad when she can't get the sock on her foot. Brooke is constantly taking her shoes on and off all day and she has to put them on all by herself. She is going to be my child that will say, "I do it mommy." She also walks around with one shoe on and one shoe off all the time, even outside. Presley is like her daddy she has to have her shoes on at all times. It is late I have got to get to bed.

Whoa

We went to see Aunt Dottie last Thurs. in Granbury and Presley and Brooke found this four wheeler and were so facinated by it. Presley climbed upon it and grabbed the handle bars like she knew exactly what to do. They both wouldn't leave Dottie's gardening wagon alone. Brooke kept taking pots out and carrying them to the garage. I was so afraid she was going to break one. Thank goodness they were just terra cotta pots because those are not too expensive to replace. As you can see the look on Brooke's face she was not happy that I was telling her to leave the pots alone.
Presley has to stick everything in her mouth and that includes a gear shift wire. she was not happy when mommy took her off of the bike because she wouldn't listen but of course it didn't last very long. We had a fun time. Grandma met us at Dottie's so we got to see her as well.
The girls slept on the way to Dottie's and on the way home. It was the perfect amount of time for their nap. It was a good test so if I have to drive a while I know they will be okay sleeping their and back. Hopefully the girls will find out soon if they will have a new cousin(s) in 9 months. Dottie and David you are in our prayers.

Look At Us

The girls have realized they can get under Presley's bed. I had put a few toys under the bed and guess who found them, Brooke and Presley followed. I caught them just as they were crawling out from under the bed.
Gary was doing sit ups on the floor the other night and they thought he was trying to get up so Brooke grabbed two hands full of hair to lift him up and then Presley tried to help him also. It was so cute we just laughed but then we thought what if she does that at school, not funny! I love the look on Gary's face. He will kill me for posting this picture but I had to do it. I know I am a bad wife but couldn't resist the temptation.
Brooke loves to sweep. I had swept a pile of dirt up earlier and she felt she had to help Mommy. I think I will put her to work much sooner. She is such a good helper. I love the picture of Brooke and I because I am hardly ever in the pictures.
Daddy took this picture of Presley. She was licking my shoe. Yuck! The child licks everything.
The girls are at such a cute age right now. I just want to eat them up, they are so darn cute.
They are babbling more than ever and saying new words. The doctor did say that one day they will start talking and then you will want them to be quiet. So I guess I should enjoy it now while I can. Gary took the girls for a walk so I could get some things done and I chose to post first then pick up the house. Priorities right! Thanks for looking.

Father's Day

Here are the pictures I took on Father's Day. I know you are not going to believe this but I didn't take very many pictures. I was too busy with the girls and food. I took some but not near as many as I usually take. The first picture is in the morning and everyone still looks sleepy.
We had a great Father's Day. We had Gary's dad and the rest of the crew over to swim and cooked out hamburgers. I made daddy a photo book of the girls and he loved it. He also gets to play golf for a day. He was excited about that one.
The pictures of the girls in the chair were before everyone came over and they were being so darn cute. Of course the pool pictures I love Presley's facial expression. That smile and those eyes still melts my heart. Brooke was also being adorable but serious in the picture I took of her. It was a good day. Gary and I still have to pinch ourselves sometimes because we still can't believe we have children. It is the best thing to hear them call out Mama and Daddy. That is truly the essence of being parents.

Fun Times

We had a wonderful Father's Day but of course I haven't loaded my pictures from the day so here are some I took earlier in the week.
Presley loves this little rocking horse. She goes so fast and high on it I always think she is going to tip it over. She just started leaning her head back last week. She is so funny, she cracks me up.
Brooke is always getting herself in spaces she can't get herself out . Right after I took the picture of her under the slide it tipped over and she got stuck and couldn't get out. She also loves to take the blanket off of the couch and cover up with it. Lately she gets really frustrated when she can't get it just right. I think she has a lot of me in her.
The last picture is of the girls helping daddy blow up some pool toys. They were so curious and wondering what he was doing.
I went to see Sex And The City on Friday with Brenda. It was nice to have some girl time.
It's time for bed. Thanks for looking.

Having Fun With Aleck

We had another play date with Aleck and Presley has reached another milestone. She knows the word "NO" and used it often during their play time. She didn't like Aleck playing with the piano and she would say, no, no, no, no. She just started that on Tuesday. I would tell her it was okay if Aleck played with the piano and she still didn't want him to play. They are starting to get possessive of their toys. My sweet Presley, she was the one that would hand Brooke a toy as soon as she saw Brooke heading towards her because she knew she was going to take it away from her. I guess she is tired of it and standing up for herself and taking it out on poor Aleck. Sorry Aleck. Brooke is starting to be my shy one. It takes her a while to warm up. She adored Aleck. She kept giving him a hug and a kiss. So cute! I am so glad he is such a good natured child. Beause he has a lover and a fighter on his hands when he comes to our house. Aleck loved Brooke and Prelsey's babies (Lily and Bella). He wanted to hold them and the girls were not up for that, especially Presley (of course). We tried to give him a different baby but he wanted Lily or Bella. Kids are too smart. It was so sweet to watch them all play. I think they played well together except for Presley having to express herself so well. By the end of the day Aleck was mocking Prelsey and it was too funny. He also said night night for the first time. It is just amazing to see the interaction, confusion, and excitement while they play. Oh, to be a kid again.
Thanks Brenda for sharing your son with my children, they really enjoy spending time with him.
I enjoyed our time together as well, adult conversation is wonderful and good for the soul.
I have a training tomorrow morning so I have to get the girls stuff ready for school. They get to play in the sprinklers tomorrow and have popsicles. Did I mention, I love Mothers Day Out!
Goodnight.

Precious Girls

I love this picture of Brooke in her Daddy's hat. She loves to wear his hats. She will take them on and off of daddy and then put them on her own head. I love Presley's little pose. She has become a little teaser. She will have Brooke's bunny and hold it out for Brooke to grab and then pull it away from her and laugh. She does that more than once. She makes me laugh.
The girls are loving Mother's Day Out and so is Mommy! The time goes by so fast. I always think that I am going to take a nap but there isn't enough time because I get busy getting the things I want done and before you know it, it is time to pick them up.
I also think that on one of those days I am going to do nothing but be lazy. Not! I can't bring myself to do that. I have projects that I want done. Maybe when all the projects are finished.

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.
