On my toes!

Mommy: Michaela, how was Nursery?

Michaela: Great honey.

Mommy: What did you learn?

Michaela: That Jesus wears a dress mom, I saw it in the picture.

Michelle: Michaela, is that the world on your jammies?

Michaela: No Shell, those are continents!

Michaela: Mommy, I need a drink<>

Mommy: Hold on! I can't do it all at once eM! (sort of a nickname)

Michaela: Mom, honey, you just need to chill.

Girls, girls, GIRLS! (and Simon)

Spring is upon us! The sun has come out, and so have the capri's :) It's time to start packing and getting ready to say goodbye to Iowa. (note: Michelle, we are NOT. SAYING. GOODBYE.) Here are some pictures of the last few weeks, complete with captions.

My beautiful Michaela. Look at that ponytail Savannah!

Here is my little Heidi with her first ever pigtails. Who know what she is thinking to cause that face!

This picture was taken just moments after she woke up. There was no altering of this hairdo prepicture, it just looks that wonderful, ALL THE TIME! We usually put at least one ponytail in now to tame that wild do!

Miss Independent. Dressed herself this day. Please note that the mini skirt is actually one leg of of some major gaucho capri pants. Yes, I let her wear this all day. No, we did not go anywhere:)

Simon and Heidi taking a moment to snuggle before naptime. He sure loves his girls already!

In case you didn't get it from that last picture, Simon is SMALL. Here is all the proof you need.

If you google "food coma," You may just see this picture of Heidi after dinner :) She loves her solids!

Beautiful girl.

Michaela took a cooking class and had a blast. Now she helps me cook dinner everynight!

Heidi. Hates. Green. Beans. Broke her heart when she tried them for the first time!

We also took a major road trip during spring break, both kids, one dog, and new car for 8 days in a row - and it was wonderful! Pictures of that to come.

Michaela: Can I marry my daddy, mommy?

Mommy: No honey, I already married daddy, but someday you will marry a different boy.

Michaela: Do I hafta kiss my boy like you kiss daddy? I can't do that mommy, I think it's going to be gross. Even if he washes his teeth, I think its going to be too gross.

Mommy: Lets not worry about it ok? Let's think of something a 3year old needs to worry about.

Michaela: Okay, like no peeing in my pants and stuff right mom?

Mommy: yeah, stuff like that.

Michaela: Mommy, I hate bad guys.

Mommy: Hate isn't a nice word,

Michaela: Bad guys aren't nice too mom, so I can say hate right?

Mommy: Lets just say that we don't like them ok?

Michaela: Ok, but when you can't hear me, I am going to say hate.

Mommy:: ok.......

Mommy: Goodnight honey.

Michaela: Goodnight sweetypie honey. Sleep tight, say a prayer for you to make breakfast tomorrow ok?

Quick Update

Between a broken computer, a totaled car, (no wreck-just quit) finals an colds, we have taken a blogging break! There is too much to catch up on, so I will make it short and sweet. My new lap top is HOT PINK, seriously fuchsia! Our new car is an 09 Mazda 5 and we love it! Michaela started a cooking class, Heidi hates green beans, (note the face) and we got a new puppy - Simon the teacup Yorki.

Saturday thoughts while everyone is napping

I love every inch of her.


I have her memorized.

I took the bassinet out of our bedroom.
She officially shares a room with her big sister.
This will be the first of many long nights giggling with her and telling secrets and talking about boys and slumber parties and all the things they won't tell me or daddy
I am sure.

I sold the baby swing.
The tiny bottles are put away, on to the 9oz ones and the baby spoons. I went through the baby food aisle.

The tiny little clothes except for a few put away for her and Michaela have been packed up or given away.

Oh how I love this little girl. She has brought us so much joy.

You were worth every second of the wait, every heartache.
Just stop growing so fast okay?

PS: You too ok?

Picture Update

I have beautiful Girls!!! Here is all the proof you need:

I should make money of of these!

Mommy: Michaela lets take a bath
Michaela: Can you take one with me?
Mommy: No, how about just you?
Michaela: You said "lets" that means you too
Mommy: Well, I meant just you
Michaela: Mommy, lying is bad and you can't go to Church if you do, Heavenly Father will cry at you.


Mommy: Michaela! You're feet stink!
Michaela: That is because dinner was gross and my feet are stinking cause I ate it

Mommy: Michaela come downstairs please....
Michaela: I am just going to send my shadow because she does all the stuff I do ok?

Michaela: Can we go shopping?
Mommy: No, daddy wants me to teach you saving too, cause I already taught you shopping
Michaela: Can't we save at some sales?
Mommy: *proud tears!* Not this time, we can go to the bank though and make a DEPOSIT! How does that sound?!
Michaela: Lame
Mommy:...how on earth do you know that word?...........

Sister- LOVE!

Basketball Jones

I can't believe that Michaela is old enough to be in Basketball! Actually, I can't believe that Jordan and I are old enough to have a CHILD in basketball! Wasn't she just in Pampers? Here is our girl on her first day of Basketball! She did.....alright...I think we will have the kid on the baseball team who picks the best bouquet of dandelions, but it was really fun to watch! She was the only girl out there, and her shorts were, of course, girl shorts, so you can't even tell she is wearing any when her little jersey is on! Anyway, here are some pictures, hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed watching her play :)
