For my records

Michaela falls down so I laugh....
Michaela: Mom!  That is rude - it's not America's Funniest Home Videos - you have to see if I am ok before you laugh!

I asked Michaela several times to put her doll down to eat. Finally I said,"put the doll down right now!" She gasped and said,"Mom, her name is Noell and she is nonfiction, just like you and me-real mom!"

Me: Heidi get out of the bathroom! Come here!!
(Heidi runs into the playroom)
Me: what are you doing in the bathroom? Why are you in there? (Worried she was clogging things up again...)
Heidi: mommy, I'm not in the bathroom, I'm right here in the toy room, use your eyes mom! I'm where to yelled me to go!

Me: Michaela when you yell at me like that it makes me feel sad and disrespected. Can you show me you live me by listening?
Michaela: that is just balls out redicleous mom, I love you a gimormous level, even to 100. I just don't want to put my clothes away. Good grief your dramatic.
(Sp errors to sound like her)
Balls out??? Dramatic??? I'm done for the day!

I just saw Heidi use the bathroom towel as toilet paper like it was no big deal. I asked her what that was all about and she said, "because sometimes 4 sheets of toilet paper isn't enough so I use the towel mom, because I am a Genius!" Glad I have been putting the towels on the floor back on the rack.......

-------------------------------------------

Michaela:mom, you HAVE to have another baby!
Me: why??
Michaela: because I simply must have a cool brother like Uncle Richie is to you! — with Rich Kresge.
\-----------------------------------------------

Here's how I know my kids will be alright:
M:don't worry Heidi, you just fell splat on the ground, nothing a 30 second dance party won't fix!
H: Ok Roonie, wets shake our booty's until I feel better!
M: ok, just don't tell mom because she will want to dance too and she's Nutso!
H: gooood idea sister!
I.LOVE.THEM.
----------------------------------------------
Me: Heidi! Quit messing around and being a goof- get your shoes on!
Heidi: Mommy, I am three, I am supposed to be silly and goofy, don't you know that?!
-------------------------------------------
M:"Mom, I am glad we got to see daddy this morning, he is a nice daddy. I think if you were married to someone else and we had a different dad but we saw Jordan Fife at the store, I would want him as my dad instead of the other dad. The other dad probably wouldn't let me ride the tractor or listed to rock music anyway. UNLESS he would get me a horse. But I would want my dad as the real dad."
H:"Are we getting a HORSE?!!!! That is the best news ever!" — with Jordan Fife.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me:Michaela I am so, so tired, can we just color or something mellow?
Michaela: why don't you lay down and I will rub lotion on your feet mom?
Me: if you really must I guess that might be ok....!

"I have black circles under my eyes mom" -Michaela 
"And I have bwack twiangles undoo my eyes mom, what about dat?!" - Heidi

Mother's Day Pedicures

Met up with my mom at the park for Mother's Day

Road trip to Utah to meet a new cousin

Sweet Baby James Luther Fife

Daddy and Ashley

A bath in the sink :)

Sunday Beauties

She keeps losing teeth

10 Month Pictures

Always in the boots!

Snuggle girls!

I decided to be a jogger!  I know, it's crazy because of my leg, but I am over having a broken leg!  It always hurts.  We all know that!  Now, it always hurts BUT I AM A JOGGER TOO!

It was so wonderful having my buddy run it with me.  Heidi came in at the end and loved that she got to run too

Hehe, good day at the park

Loves corn!

First school field trip - she caught a butterfly

Scriptures, Smores, sing a long with daddy!

Warmed up enough for sprinklers!

Oh, this baby is PURE JOY!

It's first birthday time!  My parents get the kids a chair on their first birthday - Ashley LOVES hers!

March/April

 We got Chickens!!  The girls love them :)  Michaela named hers Peanut Big Top, Purple and Rainbow.  Heidi named hers Sally, Sally and Sally.  Makes sense :)

 Almost crawling!

 The busiest toosies ever!  Her feet are constantly doing this, so are her hands but I do not have any video of that!  We call them her thinking feet.

 Best Fuss Face in the history of Fuss Faces.

 By far - my FAVORITE picture of my three girls!  They were blowing bubbles and Ashley was watching..with her thinking toes going a hundred miles an hour :)

Playing at the park

 Wildly unimpressed with her first swing experience!

 Playing peek a boo!

 Blowing raspberries!

 My Beautiful baby!  She is so wonderful!

 Sweet baby blue eyes

 Sweet lovey Heidi

 Heidi and Esme (cousins) playing in the front yard

 Another contender for best picture.  At the Farmers Market.

 This is how we shop now.  Three girls squished into a two seater cart.

MichaelaLOOPSY!

Our Roonie is Six!!  She wanted a Lalaloopsy party so that is what we did.  This is the first year she has participated in planning her party, so I kind of (totally) let her go with it.  She wanted TONS of decorations, so I got her a coloring book and told her that if she colored all the pictures really well, then I would laminate them to hang them on the wall.  She did SUCH A GREAT JOB!  In the picture, the characters you see hanging on the wall, are colored by her.  She also asked if she could have a pinata.  I said sure - not knowing exactly what she had in mind.  She didn't want a basic glue a picture on an existing pinata kind of a deal, she wanted the actual doll.  So I showed her pictures of doll head pinatas that brave souls had done that I could copy.  NO GO.  She wanted the whole doll in a pinata - and I agreed to try to make it.  Good grief.  It was crazy to try this!  But I did and it went.....ok.  You will see below.  The pictures are a little bit out of order but Ashley is screeching (seriously, it sounds like a dinosaur is dying right now) and Heidi is telling me a story about how she hurt her finger, last week, and Michaela is dancing and keeps bumping me.  SO I am not putting them in the right order.  

This is Peanut Big Top - Michaela's favorite lalaloopsy doll, the one I tried to copy in pinata form.  Don't judge :)

Lalaloopsy Cake 

 For Valentines Day, it is too hard to go on a romantic date with just the husband so we usually stick around home with the girls and the girls get really into making daddy the valentine.  He gets home to two mini waitresses complete with aprons who show him to his candlelit table.  He reads a handwritten menu and chooses from a list of his favorite foods.  (I am the cook who had made said foods) Then they serve him what he ordered and we all eat together.  Its super cheesy and totally worth repeating.

 My Funny Valentines

 Party Decorations!

 The Pinata.  She is crying and clinging because she realized we were about to beat it to death, so I decided not to traumatize her and let her keep it. She plays with it all day so it was worth not breaking I guess.  It looks weird to me but she loves it! Remember I said not to judge..

These three drive me crazy, but they are Oh so worth it. I love them and I love how much they like each other.

Waking up to my bed buddies!

 Best Fuss Face in the world!  She sucks her lip in and moans, I laugh and then usually give her what she wanted.

 My six year old beauty.

My cousin randomly moved to my town and her daughter is two weeks older than Heidi.  We have enjoyed playing with them all the time!

First kid to say mama first.  I will buy her a pony just for that!

I LOVE her giggle!
