It's been a while!

I now feel bad for being impatient with people with more than one kid for not putting pictures on their blog the instant they take them! There is so much to catch up on, and I do have pictures, but for now, I am going to be satified with Thanksgiving pictures, and a shower!!!

Here is our first, (yes seriously!) ever family of four picture. Can you believe that it took more than a month to get around to doing it??? Despite the fact that neither girl looks happy to be there, we are all happy to be with eachother, and Thankful we are blessed with eternity as a family :)

This year, we celebrated with our best friends ever, The Culley's and other wonderful friends from Jordan's program. For some, this was their first Thanksgiving experience! (too bad some of it was my cooking huh??) Michaela was infatuated with all the boys and had them eating out of her hands all night!
Here is my little chubbs, Heidi! At 5 1/2 weeks she is sleeping pretty much all night, and weighs 9.6 lbs!

Here are all the Ladies at our feast! Michelle is in the purple sweater, and she is who Heidi got her middle name from :)The boys!
Michaela melted John's heart one day when she said, "What up John?", (in the plain shirt) and now it's a game to also say, "What up Sebas? (short for Sebastian) These two are her buddies!
John and Michelle Culley

Phew! There you go mom, they are up, and now I am taking a shower! There will be more I hope by tomorrow of the girlies, as well as more from the mouth of Michaela!!!

I thought we might be out of the woods!

We got the Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana video from netflix the other day, and Michaela was an instant fan! She loves to sing and dance so it seemed like a good choice for her - and we were right! She hasn't ever seen any of the shows and we don't have anything of Hannah Montana, so I don't know if you can call us die hard fans, but she sure does love this song!

Ya- She really said that!

Mommy: Michaela- come eat your sandwich please!
Michaela: my don't need to mommy - my not hungry
Mommy: It's lunchtime - how can you not be hungry?
Michaela: Cause I just had some of my boogers from in my nose!

In our house - Stupid- is a naughty word, one that if used in the wrong place at the wrong time...warrants soap in the mouth. (Disclaimer - NEVER have I made Michaela eat a bar of soap - she gets a swipe from off my finger- barely enough to taste, but enough to remember)

Michaela: Mommy, you do what I say, make my doll dressed, she is stupid and my is mad at her!
Mommy: Michaela, talk nice to your toys and maybe it will be easier to play with them
Michaela: My not want to talk nice - she is stupid!
Mommy: Michaela, don't say that word
Michaela: STUPID!
Mommy: Do I need to get the soap or can you calm down?
Michaela: Oh, just go get the soap, My is too mad to calm down right now!

You asked for more.....

So here they are! We are finally getting the hang of things around here! (It might have 100% to do with the fact that my mom is here helping me sooooo much! - Can you say - "mommy don't leave me?!")


Check out that size difference!!!
Here is my attempt at making children's clothing...the hat and the embellishment on the onesie.
I had no idea how hard/adorable it would be to give both my girls a bath...at the same time! Makes for some great photo ops though!
Check out the eyes Heidi is giving grandma!
And Michaela running is one of my favorite sites! She has such wonderful form!
Raining leaves!

More from Michaela

Michaela: (Screams at a toy)
Mommy: Michaela instead of screaming, just say, "I'm frustrated"
Michaela: (after getting into a little trouble...) "Excue me mommy, but I am FRUSATATED!"

A few days ago Michaela littered...and I told her it made the Earth sad. Yesterday, I spilled her hard earned chocolate milk in the parking lot
Michaela: "Mommy! Now the Earth and Michaela are sad!"

While doing dishes together...
Mommy: Michaela I need you to listen to mommy and do things the first time ok?
Michaela: (pats me on the bum) Ok mommy, I will be better sweetie, ok? Now, may please can I be done?
