Oh, that Presley says the darndest things!

We were having dinner outside the other day and Presley started singing "Head, shoulders, knees, and toes". I decided to use it as a teacing opportunity and began pointing to different parts of the body, asking, "What's that?" They were answeringeverything correctly. Then I got to my face...when I pointed to my eyebrow and asked,"What's that?" Presley's face lit up with a huge smile and said, "CATERPILLAR"! Classic.

rubber snakes?

Ever since Reese gave up the paci, naptime is a challenge. I try to encourage "quiet time" which usually leads to her falling asleep on the couch. Her she is being awoken by her Presley.

The first thing Presley says when she wakes up is "Wheres Weese?"

Lovin' the sunglasses!

Friday afternoon I was picking up toys in the kitchen when I reached down to grab a rubber snake that was on the floor. Only when I was about to grab it did I realize that WE DON'T HAVE A RUBBER SNAKE!!!!! The little booger slithered under the fridge and I sat on the kitchen table waiting until Brian got home to wrangle it. It took Brian 2 hrs to lure him out. I wasn't sure what kind of snake it was...and it freaked me out a little. Sorry momma for the time when I was 17 and I put a garden snake in a box on the kitchen floor to scare you. I guess what goes around DOES eventually come around! Here are some cute pics of the girls. We are so bummed the pool has officially closed. But they sure look cute in their sunglasses!

Presley Bleu-Yellow

The girls had their 2 yr an 3 yr check up the other day. They are doing great. Both very healthy and on track. While there, Reese heard me say I was checking in Reese and Presley "wilkinson". She repeated our last name andit dawned on me that I have never told them their last name. Later we were practicing saying their full names. I said, "Presley Bleu Wilkinson"...to which she responded, "Pweseey Boo- Yellow!". It was cute.

"Reese and Presley-isms"

So, I am loving the ages the girls are at. Yes, they are a handful, but they are also soooo funny. The things they say crack me up. Reese is so expressive when she tells her stories. She uses her hands to describe everything. She still tells me every day that "Mom!, Pwesley is scared of the choo-choo train". And every time she sees a plane, "Ohh, Sadie fwew away. To Missippi." She misses her best buddy so much. Daddy also "flies away", by the way. "Where daddy? She fwew away? To church?". I love how she comforts Presley when she is sad. She will rub her back and say, "oh, poor baby." And Presley, what a crack up that one is. The other day, she and Reese were fighting over something. I see Presley pinching Reese and I say, "Presley! No Pinching". She looks at me with her big innocent eyes and says, "But, she push "The Presley"." It was sooo funny. She always refers to herself in the third person. She is still a fashion diva. Yesterday she found a bag of winter clothes, and she kept bringing me articles of clothing to put on her. This is what she wore for her nap. A long sleeved shirt, covered by a wool sweater, covered by another wool button-up cardigan. Then she had her diaper, covered by Dora panties, covered by her bathing suit bottoms, covered by a skirt turned inside out. To top it off, she wore her striped socks. She refused to let me take anything off until it was time to go swimming later that afternoon. Such silly-willys. They are growing up so fast. Reese learned to ride her trike. She just started riding it down the street last saturday. Now we can't get her off of it. Presley is climbing all over the jungle gym at the park and is doing so well potty training. Pictures coming soon.

Reese turns 3!

Our baby is growing up so fast. She is officially 3 yrs. old! We had a great day! We went to her happy place, "Bounce U". She loves going down the slide. Daddy loves it too. Reese went down, Brian followed. When he got to the bottom, the air he pushed down popped Reese up in the air and she did a back flip right into his arms. It was hysterical. That night we went to "Build-a-Bear". They each got an animal and Reese put her "paci" inside the bunny. Bye-Bye paci. No nap today. She kept asking for that dang thing. I am sure she will get over it soon. We should have taken that thing away a long time ago. I think we made up for it today when she got to ride a horse. She can't stop talking about it. Happy Birthday to Sweet Reese!

Reese riding "Turbo" for her first Horseback riding lesson.

She did GREAT!

Instructor, Sandra was so good with Reese. So patient. She got her on that horse, helmet on..without a fuss. Reese only cried when she had to get off and we had to leave. She keeps talking about riding the horsie!

Happy Birthday to Reese! 3 yrs. old! I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems like just yesterday she was just an itty-bitty thing.

Birthday morning watermelon.

Presley loves to wear hats!

My kids have discovered a new love...chocolate peanut butter....
