Craigo's Pizza Again

The girls were so excited for our "special visitors" that were coming that we decided to get them out of the house and away from cleaning for a little while. And of course the girls wanted to go to Craigo's for some pizza!

Singing Layla

Anyone know what song she is singing? We sure don't!

Easily Entertained

Oh to be a kid again and so easily entertained. Layla makes up all sorts of games for her and Isa to play. On this particular day that used sticks to play samurai swords and bippitty boppitty boo. They also have come to love collecting rocks. Every couple days we go down the street and collect a few smooth rocks for painting. Then when we get home they decorate them and sit and watch them dry. I used to try to come up with things for us to do but now we just go outside or change rooms in the house, give Layla a few minutes to explore and then we are off on another adventure!

Splash Park

I don't know why but our children love the water yet are scared of the splash park. But today they were brave and actually got into playing just a little. Layla had so much fun with Brian. She loves him so much it is precious to watch. I am really glad that she has grown into a daddy's little girl just like I was when I was her age (okay actually that is misleading I still am a daddy's girl).

I am lucky though cause even though Isa loves her daddy, she is definitely a mama's girl. She is the most cuddly kid and constantly is using me as a slide. But who can resist those beautiful eyes. These two kids totally have us wrapped around their fingers.

Best Friends!

Code cracked!

So my friend and serious motherly role model Kristi had this posted on her blog and I laughed for like 10 minutes. I am not one to laugh out loud so that was huge. Anything that makes me that excited needed to be passed on some more. So thank you Kristi for the laugh I really needed. For the rest of you I hope you enjoy it and can figure out which of these things tend to come out your mouth!

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to # 3

(8) Whatever: Is a women's way of saying............F you

Need motivation to exercise....

Okay so I don't want to post this twice so I am just leaving the link for my lovely post you know you are all dying to read about my new weight loss motivation. Anyways here is why I am getting off my lazy butt to get off those last pounds....

NEED TO EXERCISE

THANK HEAVENS!!!

Well after a nice trip to the doctor where I think they know us by name now, we have found that the girls just have serious sinus infections. It is painful for them and pretty miserable but it beats strep or croup which Layla has had about 15 times in her short little life. After a day of antibiotics they are coming around to their old selves. I really think that nothing is worse that sick kids. When I hear of others struggling it really makes my heart ache. We have gone through all the worry that stuff is wrong since day one with Layla and really have been blessed by the lord that both girls are so healthy with such rough starts. Anyways hopefully in a few days we will be back out wondering the great big world of Rexburg Id. (Okay so it isn't big but to a 3 and 2 year old it sure is!)

Feeding the Ducks

The girls just love to feed the ducks and little Isa sometimes forgets to let go of the bread so she got nipped a couple times. But all in all they love to just get out of the house and go look at nature and enjoy the beautiful weather. Hopefully we will all get well and be able to get out and enjoy it again soon!

Sick kids Again!

Okay so for about the thousandth time since the girls were born, they are sick again. It is so hard to watch them just roll around whining because they don't feel good. We are headed to the doctor soon but i am sure he is going to tell us they either have Croup or strep but we will pray it is nothing that long lasting the hard. Wish us luck!

Isa loves to feel big and is turning into my little shadow lately. She especially likes taking care of little Robby. She thinks he is so cute cause he is smaller than her. She doesn't really pay that much attention to the small girls in the ward but she sure does love the boys. I know that one day she would love to big a big sister but for now we are glad that there are little ones she can practice on.

Someone wants to be a BIG GIRL!!!!

Okay so Isa is by far the funniest kid when it comes to the things she does when we aren't around. Last week we were talking to Layla about how she needs to start getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. We went over and over how it works then put the girls to bed. Later that night Brian and I made a midnight snack and ended up setting the smoke alarm off. He went up to check on the girls when he saw... a diaper on the floor and a couple pairs of pants that were now wet. He looked at Isa and she was still in her pj's but he knew that she was the only one who wears a diaper. So he went in to look and sure enough Isa was only wearing pants.... nothing else underneath. He called me up and I couldn't help but crack up. Funny funny little girl!Last night of course since it was a long day and the girls got to bed later then usual they just went to sleep without much fuss. Isa however did think that it was time to get up a couple times and I heard her open and shut the door. Of course that was followed by the pitter patter of her running back to bed. About 11:15 when Brian got home from work he heard Layla crying and went in to calm her and say goodnight. As he was walking out of the room he looked over at Isa and saw her little bare butt sticking out under the blankets. He lifted up the covers to reveal a totally nude child. He searched the room and found pj's and a dirty diaper she apparently didn't want to sleep in.

So after watching this little girl for a while I have realized that she needs to be potty trained. Whether of not she is really ready to comprehend what she needs to do or not is no longer relevant. She can't keep stripping so I must break down and do it. We will keep you posted on any other good stories from out little self teacher.

Cute Kids!

I don't have time to post much but I finally finished editing the group photo from Adi's birthday party this past weekend. It turned out really cute and I almost got everyone's best face in one photo! The kids were so cute and really had a great time so thanks Clews for the wonderful party!

P.S. If anyone didn't have a camera and/or just wants a copy just let me know and I will get one to you!
