Im so behind!

Due to me being sick for a week I am way behind (sick from bad back pain)! Here is a little picture to make you smile *It makes me smile! Rae was watching a movie,laying on her tummy............fell asleep layimg her head in her hands! LOVE!!!

I almost forgot.....

Seth and I went on a day date on Friday! Thanks to my mama we got some alone time! It was funny we git in the car to decide what and where we were going to do! We sat there for a while!! I didnt want to go to a sit down restuant because I wasnt hungry! And We didnt want to see a movie! We kept naming things to do and turned them all down! So then I said well Bryn needs formula! So we headed to Sams Club!! We walked around the whole store holding hands! Its been so long since we have actually hold hands for a while lol!! Then after we were done walking around we went and bought the formula! Then we decided to eat there! I had cheese pizza and Seth had a hot dog and cherry slurpy!! What a fun date huh! I think so anytime I get to spend alone with Seth I'll take! I love you hubby of mine

Tonight's Fun Project!

Tonight we made a cute little Valentine's day countdown! Arailia is way excited that she gets to eat a Hershey Kiss everyday! She did such a great job gluing and putting the numbers and kisses on! I might make one out of material if I get a chance to run away (at my mom's house) for a bit!! We are so excited for all the fun activities and crafts that Valentine's Day (month) will bring!!!

Sleepy Pie!!

I love it when Bryn wants to cuddle! I was playing with her hair and she fell asleep on me! Love her!! And when I had to get up from laying with her for a while I put her in her crib! When she woke up this is what I saw.... FUNNY HUH!!

Play dough Fun!

Today rae made me lots of snakes and the one I love most was the heart she made me! I had to take a picture!! Love her!!

Last nights Craft!!

So everyday as you know I try and do a craft or activity that will be fun for "Rae and I Time"! In preparation for Valentine's Day we made this really cute conversation heart picture frame!!! She had so much fun gluing and putting it on the frame! And it turned out so cute!!

Last Nights Bath!!

As you can see in the pics they LOVE bath time together! You almost have to wear a poncho if you go in they are always splashing each other! Rae decided to give Bryn a lovely bubble beard!!

Craft!

So I try everyday to do some sort of craft or special activity to do with Rae! Last night I needed to paint some blocks, so of course Rae jumped in and painted too! Its not a very good pic of her because she didnt feel like posing but its still cute!!

My sick baby!

Poor bryn is sick! Its the second day! She has a fever,cough and you can just see it in her eyes! On a good note I get to cuddle with my cuddle bug! I hope she gets better soon!!

Baking with Gaga!!

Last night Rae called my mom and and told her that she made her cookies! My mom said oh how nice. then Rae told her well I think you should come over and make some cookies! My mom then new Rae had talked her into coming over and making her famous chocolate chip cookies!!!! And yes they were YUMMY!!!

Quote of the hour:

Rae:"Ahh mom i think your cookies are missing something"!
Me:"what does it need"?
Rae:"Well your missing an ingredient called milk"!

FINALLY!!!!!!!

I love, love, love my new family Dr.! He has helped me finally find the right sleeping pill to actually let me fall asleep and stay asleep! I love that I can sleep pretty much all night!! I hope this medicine works for a while I love my good sleep! I can function alot better now! But I do seem to be very lazy lately I blame it on me needing years of good sleep to catch up on lol!!

"Quote"

Rae: "Mom does the man on the moon turn on and off the lights?"
Me: "yeah sure" (kinda busy with getting kids and groceries in the car)
Rae:" I need to get a telescope so I can see the man on the moon"!
*Rae cracks us up with the funny things she comes up with!!!!

TROUBLE!!!!!!

I swear little miss Rae has been trouble lately lol! This is a pic of Rae giving Bryn a bath (Rae was taking a bath and Bryn crawled in there and watched Rae take a bath)

Havent written in a while!

Here is yet another pic of my cutie pie!!!

Playing dress up!

Rae is really into playing dress up! She is so funny she will not only dress herself but also her little Bryn! I wish I would have taken a pic but I'm sure there will be more times she dresses them both up!! I love having girls they are so much fun!!

Cousin fun

On sunday Brooke came over to play so that Erick and Courtney could relax for a bit! They have so much fun together! Here are a few fast action pics from these crazy girls!

"Big sister TROUBLE"

This is what happens when little sister
falls asleep and big sister takes advantage!!

This song is dedicated to Seth the love of my life!!

"Our Song"
aka Kiss me by Sixpence None the Richer

Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress.

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me.

Kiss me down by the broken tree house
Swing me upon it's hanging tire
Bring, bring, bring your flowered hat
We'll take the trail marked on your father's map

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

Kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

So kiss me...(2x more)
How it became "Our Song":

One day Seth gave me a love card and some roses! It was one of those cards that will play a song! As I read the card it played this song! Of course the words he wrote and the words of the song made me cry! Then a couple days later we were in the car driving and Seth said "hey its our song" and thats how it became our love song!!

Since its our anniversary I thought it would be perfect to dedicate this song to Seth! I love you babe!

Here's a couple more pictures from our snow day fun the other day!!

Rae loves having uncle Jake back! We have missed him so much!! I love how sweet he is to the girls! Rae is always loving on him its so cute! Here's just a quick pic I took of them having fun together!! (p.s. I know Rae doesn't have a shirt on she hates wearing clothes!!)

These are my munchkins after their snow fun! I think we are going to play outside more around nap time I have forgotten how tired it makes them!!

Another 2011 Goal!

Ok so I hate to admit this but I do tend to find myself gossip or join in on a conversation about someone! I tend to tell secrets (if I think they should be told to someone)! I know what a bad person RIGHT!?! Well for one of my goals I am trying my hardest not to gossip about others! So please please please help me! I wouldn't want others knowing all my business unless heard by me and especially my secrets so why should I tell others! Well anyway if you start in on a conversation and wonder why I try and change the subject or you hear me starting the conversation please slap me in the face!! Thanks!!!!

Note to self.....

Today was the first day ever that bryn has eaten more than five bites of baby food! I gave her a jar of lasagna with meat sauce and she ate it like it was going out of style! She has never liked baby food so I just started her on table food. I think its because she didnt like the texture of the baby food. I was in the store and saw that jar of food and thought it would be alot easier to give her that then have to cute tiny little pieces of anything she ate! I am going to buy a few more jars of different things and hopefully she like them! (I know I am going the easy route rather than the hard route of having to prepare and cut her food)!

Just a cute pic of my baby!!

Snow clothes!

Thank you Grandma Linda for buying Rae's snow clothes this year! Today was the first day she has played in the snow and she had a blast! Thanks your the best!!!!
(Im such a bad mom she has wanted to play in the snow for a while now but how I have felt these past few months I havent been up for it till today we both had fun!)
p.s. yes those are hott oven mitts that I used as my snow mittens!!

eating and sleeping!

This was the first time byn was in "her" high chair! I think she loved it! She ate then fell right to sleep! I love how the high chair leans back so if she does fall asleep we dont have to bother her!

Brynners snow fun!

Snow day!

Its 5 am have a bad head ache and little miss Bryn wants to be held in my arms all night or else she cries!!!! I must say I have gotten tons of kisses in! I love my cuddle bug!!!!! On a side note I wish I was sleeping!!!

Feels like an accomplished night!!

It has been a good night! I cleaned out all last years folders in the file cabinet so we can organize this years bills and such and hopefully stay very organized this year. Cleaned the girls room (not yet organized) but clean! Wrote out my 2011 goals! And worked on laundry! Best part Bryn fell asleep on me when I was reading my scriptures!
Wouldn't you say that was a "good feeling kinda night"!?! I sure would!!!

And she's up!!

Byn has been standing up to things and she is so proud of herself (so are her parents) She will get up and then clap!! She doesnt quite get how to get back down to the ground so she will fuss to let you know shes done standing! It wont be long and our baby will be walking!!!!!!

Rae

Of course when I take a picture of Bryn Rae wants one of her. So her is a "fast moving" pic

Ready for bed!!

Already for bed! I love freshly bathed babies!!!! (Especially mine)

Gaga's noodles

Boy this girl LOVES gaga's noodles! She downs them in seconds! Bad pic but still cute!

goal

Is it bad I want to put my whole house in storage so I dont have to clean up every second of the day?!? Im so starting the whole "rotating out" toys! Sorry if you come over to play you get just a few toys now!!!!

My 2011 goal:
To have a big cleaning project once a month whether it be getting rid of clothes,rotating out toys,or simply just de-junking my house!!!

I admit a am bit of a HOARDER! I keep everything! I have kept all my school reports and even some of the siblings school work! Why you ask...... I have no clue. Maybe I thought I would be a teacher and need ideas or my kids would love me that I kept all the school reoprts! Well no more I am slowly but surely getting rid of EVERYTHING!!!!
Hopefully my house wont be so overwhelming to me soon! I am taking one room at a time and telling my self one room a day even though I get in the "cleaning mode"! With the girls and me with the little energy I have I am going to tackle this huge goal/project of mine!!!!
WISH ME LUCK......... I need it!!!!!!!!!!!

Magic potion

For christmas Rae got bath tablets that make the bath water color. She thought it was potion when I fist put it in so thats what we now call it! I will let her pick a color and then put the tablet in her hand. Then she will say "Abra Cadabra" and then throw the tablet in the water and watch it change colors! She loves it!
