Reese and Presley hand painting

Heather and Talulah

We had a great time at the Greensboro childrens museum. It was a little something special to celebrate our Sweet Reese's 4th b-day! I can't believe my babies are growing up. And I can't believe my camera battery died at Disneyland when we celebrated Presley's 3rd birthday! We decided since they have so much "stuff" that we would start the tradition of taking them somewhere special. This is what they chose. Happy Birthday girls. We love you so much!

That silly Presley cracks me up!

Reese and Presley are both such sweet and cute little girls. Reese is now four yrs. old, and despite her "reserved" personality around new people, she has been walking up to every random stranger and informing them that "hey! I'm four now!" She is very excited. She got a new booster seat, which she loves because she gets to sit in the back of the van and I love it because we have yet to have a battle about her getting in her seat. Presley continues to crack me up. Yes, she still calls me "Becky" ALL the time. Yesterday we were driving and she was talking to herself when she announced. "Becky! Do you want a baby in your belly? I want a a baby named Chawley (thats Charlie for those of you who don't speak Presley), and a doggy. Can you get that for me? PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!?" How could I say no to that? The other day I had just got back from my swim workout. I try not to come home in my bathing suit because the girls get upset that they don't get to go. On that particular morning, I changed, but my hair was still wet. Presley looked at me when I walked through the door and said, "Becky! Where did you go?" I told her I went swimming. She looked at me with those so sweet puppy dog eyes and said, "But you forgot me!" Then yesterday when I gave the girls their vitamins, Presley said, "I need another Fish vitamin". I said, "I just gave you a fish vitamin. Did yours fall down?" "Yep!" she said. "It fell down in my mouth!" Reese's birthday pictures soon to come.

Daddy's fingernails



What a good sport Daddy is!!!

Rese and Presley LOVE to paint fingernails. Glad I was the one with the camera! HaHaHa.






Birthdays, birthdays, and more birthdays!

looks like the girls don't know what to think of their (salamander???) CROCODILE cake!

Reese eating chocolate...her 100% organic chocolate cake. (Gotta be somewhat better than high fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils, right?)



Pretty Presleys butterfly cake.





She loved the cupcake bag as much as the cute outfit inside it. She carried that around everywhere. Thanks, Marilyn! And thank you Geri, too, for the gift card and great book!







Don't you love it when they falll fast asleep at 5:30 pm?
