Stow Away!!!

She actually put the turtle finger puppet in her diaperwhile at the Dr.'s appt. I found it after her nap when I changed her. hahahahhahahahahhaha!

Sleeping Beauty!

Presley always with her tongue out, Reese always on the phone!

Cute babies!

Best friends!

Presley is now 18 months! Happy Half Birthday, Presley Bleu! She is sooo cute and so funny. Here are all of the things she can do....talk...she says all that Reese does, jumps off both feet (we laugh so hard when she does b/c it is so funny), run(though lopsided and into things), climb, flip out of the grocery cart and make a clean landing, find her nostrils without any problem, and she can successfully "stow away" little turtle finger puppets from the doctors office without anyone finding out!

Two Beanie Babies!

Here are the girls trying on Daddy's beanies. They had so much fun. Presley is just the most happy-go-lucky kid ever. Reese didn't want her hat on, then she saw Presley do it and realized it was so much fun.

Silly Willy's

Presley and Reese had so much fun at Elena's b-day pajama party. Too bad my camera died after 3 shots, but it was fun. The girls had a great time playing with the kids...not interested in the cupckes, though Reese thought they were "cool!" cuz they had "stawwsss" (stars) on them. Then we went to Tanglewood to see the horses and enjoy the b-e-a-utiful 60 degree weather. We visited new baby Colin and Aiden. Karen had her boys 11 and a half months apart, too...only she had to be pregnant 2 yrs. straight. Today we went with Sadie and B to Barnes and Nobles for story time and made Kitty cat stick puppets. Mama is worn out. Reese was trying to put the other kids in "time out" and Presley was mesmerized with the train table.What fun we have!

Pretzel is holding on tight to her baby at Elena's b-day party. Forget the candy and the cupcakes..she took advantage of everyone else indulging so she could take over the toys!

"Finally! That girl with the silly bows has been hogging this stroller all day!"

Reese's new talent

Presley jumping on the bed while talking on the phone

Get those panties on, Girl!

Reese trying on new Elmo panties

It's a panty party at our house.

IWANTTOOOOOO!!!!

"Iwanttoooo!" is Reese's favorite word at the moment. You can fill in the blank..."I want to ....dance...sing....col-ow (color), eat...." My personal favorite is, "I wanna watch cawseat". (as she brings me Disney Pixar's "CARS" dvd).It is pretty cute! Presley is a girl of few words, but when she wants to talk, she speaks! She doesn't babble like Reese did when she was her age. If she wants to say it, she does! I love it when she hands me her sippy cup and says, "Aww dunn!"...or when she asks for "abua" (agua). She is so funny and so cute how she tries to run and jump. And when she gets mad, you better keep all body arts away from the open mouth...that girl is jaws and will take your finger off. Just ask Reese. Presley loves to get messy and is officially the "Master of Disaster" Reese is a ittle neat freak and doesn't like to get a speck on her. Yesterday at church I was talking to someone and she walks up and hands me something and says, "mom-eee! He ya go!" It was a booger! A big one! Gotta love being a mom!

Our little ray of sunshine

Sweet Presley looking so cute in her pink pj's and full belly.

My little Ray of sunshine...always smiling, unless she's crying!

Pudding Party!

Presley gets into it!

Cutie Pie, Elizabeth!

Sadie..so cute!

Reesepainting with pudding. When she discovered she could eat it, all she said was,"yuck".

We got all the nighborhood girls together for a "pudding party". They were curious at first, then Presley and Elizabeth Really got messy. Sadie and Reese, not so much, but they had a great time.

Neighborhood girls. Reese, Elizabeth, Sadie, and Presley

Ever see a "milk mustache"??? We have "banana/pear/spinach and kale mustache at our house".

Not Happy News!

Toady I received some very unhappy news. This is not something I would normally write about on my blog, however, I am so affected by it that I feel I need to say a few words. My good friend, Neeta, passed away due to complications with chemotherapy. She was only 33 yrs. old. Young, vibrant, extremely smart and talented. I have been friends with Neeta for 2 1/2 yrs. She was not only my trading partner, but a close friend. It saddens me that such a wonderful life was cut short because of such a horrible disease. I hope that we can all come together in an effort to find a cure. It was 11 months ago when Neeta told me she had a pulled muscle in her leg. The anti-inflammatories she took caused internal bleeding. That was how the tumor in her stomach was discovered. Heavenly Father works in mysterious ways. I know He has a plan for each of us. Neeta was an inspiration to me with her positive attitude and determination. She will be greatly missed!
