Remember this day...

I went to the doctor on Friday and told him about the story that Melissa told me about having a baby brother. He laughed and told me to write it down so that when she is 12 and that baby brother is really bugging her I can remind her that she personally asked angels for that brother so she can't complain. So, Melissa... this is your reminder.

An angel told me...

For the past several weeks Melissa has been wrapping up random "presents" and giving them to me for our future baby. This morning she found a pretty red box, placed several toys inside and gave it to me saying, "This is for my new baby brother." I said, "Honey, Mommy doesn't have a baby in her tummy right now." She looked devastated and said, "Well, you will soon." When I asked her how she knew I would have a baby in my tummy soon she said, "An angel told me. He said I am going to have a baby brother soon." She smiled and hugged me asking, "Isn't that good news?" Out of the mouth of babes!

Mermaid Kayla

Kayla LOVES playing dress up! This past weekend she pulled out one of Mommy's OLDEST nightgowns and wore it for nap time. She repeatedly said, "I'm mommy. I don't need a nap!" She crashed! After we took the picture we decided she looks like a mermaid mommy! I love that kid!

For the Birds

We went to D.C. last weekend and forgot about a poor, yucky loaf of french bread that we brought back with us. We couldn't let the moldy thing go to waste after we remembered about it, so, the girls fed it to the birds (and pregnant cat) in the rain. They loved it!!! (Please don't tell the girls the cats are pregnant... we are going to help them "move on" before they leave us with babies!)

Crochet Fun

These pictures were too cute to not post!!! The girls LOVE to help Daddy do just about anything... including crocheting. They were quite good! They get that from their Dad!

Melissa and Daddy-O

Melissa is such a hard worker! She went out to the garden with Daddy on Saturday and helped him so much! She pulled weeds, carried out HUGE rocks, pushed the tiller and even helped to push Daddy while he pushed the tiller. WOW! The best part was her smile... she smiled the whole time she was working. She is such a ray of sunshine.

Kayla's new friend, the Worm... worms... oopps!

Kayla made a new friend on Saturday while we were working in the garden, his name was Worm. We found several worms and after she finally built up enough nerve to touch one, she fell in love with those yucky little things. She carried one around with her for a long time and when it came time for me to take a picture of it she quickly ran away working buisily with her little hands. By the time I got to her she was so pleased with herself and showed me what she had done... she said, "Here, I made more worms for you to see!" She was so happy with her new worms. One worm was now 4. She is so cute!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! When we woke up this morning we found green footprints leading to little baggies of GOLD! Yippee!!! Melissa and Kayla were so excited to find that inside the gold was CHOCOLATE!!! Melissa said, "This is better than money!" What a fun day this is going to be! (This is a tradition that I started with my preschool classes when I was still teaching... I will probably do it forever!)

Chuck E. Cheese's

Uncle Adam and Tia Ria invited us to go to Chuck E. Cheese's with them for Uncle Adam's Birthday and we LOVED it! He is now as old as Mommy... :) We are so fourtunate to have such a good family. Enjoy the video!

Riding Horses

Poppa took my girls, Evan, Tia Ria, Uncle Jer and myself horseback riding while we were visiting. We are fortunate enough to know a great lady, the girls affectionately call her Ms. Jo, who allows us to go out and ride her horses while we are there. The LOVE it! This time one of the goats had just had twins the night before and the girls and Evan went crazy over them. It is sad to think that this cute little thing will be someone's dinner in a few years! Yum! LOL! Thanks for the fun times Poppa Bear!

Melissa "brushing down" Crystal before their ride. Gross! The kids had a blast playing in this pen! Note the trash bag on the top!

Kayla was so pleased with herself for sitting on the horse all by herself until it moved a little... then she wanted off!

Melissa rode the 2nd time with Uncle Jeremy. Lucky girl!
