December 2011

We were in the process of putting the decorations on the tree and had a nice time showing the girls the ornaments.

Casey loved the gold star,.. I have had that thing since my days at Dillard's in Hot Springs : )

She calls this one "Go Jimmie Go"

Have no idea what Lundyn was talking about but you know she was talking : )

And we still have to find the other box that has the star for the top of the tree as well as the stockings!!

Where have we been?

End of June- -We had a little weekend trip to Lake of the Ozarks for our annual weekend get together with the "S" family who also have fraternal girls. We always have a good time when we get together. Need to do it more often!! This is from a dinner boat ride. It was June, in Missouri and it was hot. Next time I get to choose the dinner venue LOL

How fun to have 2 sets of fraternal girls about the same age in one place!!

July 4th came and went!! We let the girls play with the snappers, daddy had fireworks in the street and we stayed out to watch the big fireworks. Pretty good night all in all.

We had a lot of ice cream in July!!

Rather funny to watch a 2 1/2 yr old eat an ice cream cone. Just have to put down a blanket on the floor and clean it all up in the washer!!

This little girl is a chocoholic!! Loves chocolate ice cream : ) Does not matter if it is chocolate ice cream, chocolate pudding or whatever it will be all over her face!



August- - Just spent some time enjoying the sunshine before the rain!!

More pictures to come!! I promise : ) Rather fitting that I get back to posting in November,.. the month to be especially Thankful!! I am so thankful for these 2 little girls. My life could not be better, or more stressful,.. ha ha!!

Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be SAHM to these beautiful ANGELS!

Playful in June

The first pictures are from the other night when the camera got splashed from the “out of control” garden hose ha ha

Shawn took the girls outside this evening.  I have not shown pictures of Breezy since we got her a few months ago.  She is a really good dog and getting big!!.  She is just young and full of energy.  Baeley is not fond of her.  : ( He is 12 and 1/3 her size so she pretty much runs him over unless we keep her close to us : ) Shawn changed out the middle swing and said Casey walked over, grabbed hold and lifted her feet off the ground.  She is so tall it just amazes us.  And her strength,.. WOW : )

Lundyn, little cutie, did a great job of hanging on after daddy helped her reach the handles.

Then the girls were off to play on the slide.  I think it is really cute of Breezy waiting at the bottom,..

Hello Lundyn,..

And Casey had to go on her belly too,..

 Lundyn walking back up to the house,… she loves loves loves Breezy but not really sure about how to handle her.

Oh and the girls went to catch fireflies tonight.  My idea and I wanted to get pictures but I was on the phone with my therapist.     ha ha

p.s we are out of diapers (almost 2 months)

Great start to June!!

The girls have asked for a day or 2 if they can have a pool. We got one for Breezy and it was not in the backyard 10 minutes and now it will not hold water. (imagine that) I was running a couple of errands and found this one. After dinner tonight Shawn took the girls out and got it all ready. Here is the last video I got. Watch really close at the end,... LOL

I have some pictures I will add, hopefully Wednesday!!

Starting Over??

Good News is that we got a phone call last week to tell us that our pictures could be recovered. We should have them in a few weeks,.. that is the uuugh part. So I have a few videos that I will share. And will have to dig to see what else I can come up with. I am determined to not spend the summer in front of the computer. : )

This one is just plain silly. Lundyn was in a phase of saying “I’m your brother” I have no idea where it came from and I say phase because I have not heard it for a few days : )

This video is more playtime after bath. There is an episode of Max & Ruby where Ruby is getting ready for Bunny Scout physical fitness thing and had to stand on her head for a count to 5.

Thankful

With the current status of my 3000+ pictures, I am thankful that my phone has a fabulous camera!! These are from May 6th.  I had most of them saved in my email, and had saved them to the folder that is currently missing.

They were very curious about the sprinkler but really did not want to find out what it does. 

This one just cracks me up!!  Her face : ) I think we were trying to get her shoe back on and I can’t remember how the water got loose, but so glad I caught it : )

I think maybe she ran out of her shoe and they were trying to rinse out the grass from the inside,..

Look an airplane,… I see an airplane,…

Had to wipe her eyes on daddy’s shirt : )

May-hem

I was trying to post an update a couple of days ago and was moving pictures from my camera to the external hard drive on my computer.  I will say that my Mother’s Day was ok.  It started out pretty good, but 1) I did not get my Mother’s Day picture with the girls like I did the previous 2 years.  So I had just done that picture the day before “the crash” 2) I did not get to relax and enjoy the day due to the “paycheck” and I ended up a tad angry a few times on Mother’s Day.  (That sounds a lot like whining) A little tired and stressed : )  ok stay with me,..So I was saving pictures to use in the update.  I also saved pictures from my email into the same folder.  The girls got up from a nap, no big deal all was fine.  Come back and was saving pictures to the same folder only I received an error message that the folder basically did not exist.  YES I was and am still heartbroken.  I see it as 2.5 years of pictures sorted by year and month.  Granted, I have some really good pictures of the girls- stored elsewhere and I am thankful.  However, the pictures that are missing are like,.. indescribable.  I feel like little panes of glass have shattered.  So, the hard drive has been dropped off with the “Geek Squad” and will be sent over night to another company to retrieve my folder of (roughly 30+ months x 100+ pictures)  I hope to hear something Tuesday.  I have no idea what else is on the hard drive, but the pictures mean the most.  Ok so crying stopped,… I got this idea from a friend, and will try to find a picture to go along with it.
