I have pictures and blogs I have thought of in my head, but just don't feel like spending the time getting it all together! My grandmother passed away in November a little unexpectedly. That was right before Thanksgiving and Christmas so our family was even more tired and busy. And finally after all the snow days, the girls are back in their school routine. I have worked today on uploading all my pictures off my camera so felt I should share what I have.<br /><br />The best news is little <a href="http://www.kbislivingthehighlife.blogspot.com">Elle Louise High</a> was born on February 4th.

Getting up at 6AM is definitely new around here! I think I drink as much coffee as I did when I was nursing newborns. Whew! I am trying to spend my days decorating. I can't believe it has been 8 months since we moved here! I am finally getting around to getting the girls room together. Since they decided they wanted two separate beds I have a lot of work to do! Cute girls bedrooms are so hard to find! It's either baby or tacky. Seriously. If you know of a company that make stuff along the lines of pbteen or pottery barn kids let me know.<br /><br />Anyway, last Friday was Cowboy Day in kindergarten. Yee Haw! Jason and I went up to see our little cowgirls on their trail ride. They were so excited to ride their stick horses around the school. My mother in law found these outfits at the Dixie Stampede and they were perfect. I was just glad Riley remembered we had them. Ha! She kept telling me she wanted to wear the shirt with the boots on the front and I had no idea what she was talking about. I accidentally found them while cleaning their playroom at the bottom of a large pile of dress up clothes. The playroom will need to be tackled after I finish their bedroom. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sre0QmRO5HI/AAAAAAAAA5k/mt2vZekn_F4/s1600-h/September+2009+004.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sre0QmRO5HI/AAAAAAAAA5k/mt2vZekn_F4/s320/September+2009+004.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383970076788450418" /></a><br />Before school<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sre0Pb6n_1I/AAAAAAAAA5c/EOMI5eSjsjM/s1600-h/September+2009+012.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sre0Pb6n_1I/AAAAAAAAA5c/EOMI5eSjsjM/s320/September+2009+012.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383970056829402962" /></a><br />The girls were both so funny when they saw us in "their space".

I got a few butterflies as we got closer and closer. I was afraid if they acted worried or scared that it would make me sad! They didn't want any breakfast (poptarts, donuts, capri sun - I know, I know) so I think they were a little nervous too. But when we went inside they walked down the hall with teachers, put their backpacks away, and sat down to color. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SonxRpvyxcI/AAAAAAAAA40/1kl0-9NJb0U/s1600-h/August+2009+023.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SonxRpvyxcI/AAAAAAAAA40/1kl0-9NJb0U/s320/August+2009+023.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371089316182410690" /></a><br />I didn't even walk in with Riley because I had stuff to give to Regan's teacher. I was feeling guilty for going with one and not the other, but when I got to Riley's room she didn't even look up.

When I picked her up she said, "That day at school was not that long!". <br /><br />One thing that did make me happy - they told me they found each other at recess and ran from all the boys. :)Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-10675125376710336322009-08-16T21:21:00.003-05:002009-08-16T21:41:10.152-05:00Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!Tomorrow is the first day of kindergarten!

I am so proud of you. You have such a sweet spirit and an amazing imagination. You are a great big sister to Riley and helper for Mommy. Although you are quiet, you are such a deep thinker.

I can't believe you are five! You are the funniest and spunkiest little girl Mommy knows. You keep all of us laughing with your "silly shows", silly faces and just all around goofiness. You amaze me with your ability to learn any and everything! You make me so proud with your determination to learn more and more every day!

They are best friends and just the sweetest girls! I am going to really miss them when school starts! (1 month, 5 days)They are really growing and becoming so independent. I am sad and proud all at the same time. <br /><br />The pictures above are from Disney World. I uploaded them today and have 665 from 8 days! Whew! I was a little overwhelmed so I will have to organize them better before I get a Disney post on here. I should say IF I get a Disney post on here! Ha!<br /><br />And, since the last blog was about Regan losing 2 teeth, I should let you know Riley lost her 6th (!) tooth in the Magic Kingdom. She lost her 5th in Vegas. We will have to plan a big trip soon since she is about to lose another one. I am thinking...Grand Cayman? That's next on the list.

I didn't expect to be dealing with loose teeth so soon either. They won't even be 5 until July and between the two of them they have lost 7 teeth! Riley lost her first tooth at 3 years 2 months old (NOT an accident either!).She has already lost 5 teeth and has two permanent teeth in as well! Regan has always been proud that she has "none loose". However, this last week she showed me her loose teeth and I was shocked because her two bottom teeth were barely hanging in! <br /><br />Sunday night at bedtime we were reading and her first tooth literally just fell onto her bed. Then tonight she was trying to eat and I hear her spitting something out and it's her second tooth! Yes, right in the middle of us eating. Oh, well.<br /><br />So here are pictures from Monday and today. She is SO proud and calls it her "new smile".<br /><br />Somehow the pictures are backwards and you get to see the tooth in the middle of the table first. Oops! That is green marker on the table as well. :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNVQ9MjtI/AAAAAAAAA3k/gcTlLQyRFC4/s1600-h/May+2009+046.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNVQ9MjtI/AAAAAAAAA3k/gcTlLQyRFC4/s320/May+2009+046.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337695011088404178" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNVFXI2EI/AAAAAAAAA3c/P7__8yQglZE/s1600-h/May+2009+047.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNVFXI2EI/AAAAAAAAA3c/P7__8yQglZE/s320/May+2009+047.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337695007975987266" /></a><br />Tonight, second tooth!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNUgq5EVI/AAAAAAAAA3U/V7kPIkcVr3U/s1600-h/May+2009+043.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ShNNUgq5EVI/AAAAAAAAA3U/V7kPIkcVr3U/s320/May+2009+043.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337694998126727506" /></a><br />Monday, first tooth!<br /><br />The tooth fairy now has to go find more quarters somewhere....Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-59968932886568660532009-05-13T13:52:00.003-05:002009-05-13T13:55:47.240-05:00SistersDon't you wish you were in our family? <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgsXZRfcCdI/AAAAAAAAA3M/dtkHur-AIRc/s1600-h/Holly+and+Kari.htm"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgsXZRfcCdI/AAAAAAAAA3M/dtkHur-AIRc/s320/Holly+and+Kari.htm" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335383906509916626" /></a>Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-57082805699291168252009-05-12T21:50:00.003-05:002009-05-12T21:54:57.196-05:00Continue to Pray for AveryMy friend Carissa had her baby girl today!

I love you so much and am so proud to be your Aunt Coco. You can't understand yet how much joy and happiness you bring to our family. As you grow up you will also find out what an awesome mommy and daddy you have. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHcfBrVvI/AAAAAAAAA28/DozXYdGWqcM/s1600-h/Nikon+2008+954.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHcfBrVvI/AAAAAAAAA28/DozXYdGWqcM/s320/Nikon+2008+954.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334803419543328498" /></a><br />No matter what Mommy says, I think it's kinda funny how determined you are to get your way. It shows great promise when you hit the terrible twos at 6 months old. By the time you start Kindergarten you should be doing fractions.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHcCL0lbI/AAAAAAAAA20/8eZGdsxl84M/s1600-h/Nikon+2008+799.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHcCL0lbI/AAAAAAAAA20/8eZGdsxl84M/s320/Nikon+2008+799.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334803411801249202" /></a><br />Also, Mommy gets a little worried about letting you have candy. If she ever refuses you candy please call me so I can explain the fact that she lived off gummy peaches and sour patch kids for a few years. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHb2nyKDI/AAAAAAAAA2s/9mPt7ggrvC0/s1600-h/Nikon+2008+491.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkHb2nyKDI/AAAAAAAAA2s/9mPt7ggrvC0/s320/Nikon+2008+491.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334803408697305138" /></a><br />Your big cousins Regan and Riley are very excited for your birthday. We have picked out no less than 30 different present ideas for you. You will be very happy with our final choice and so will Mommy. But, tell her it's yours and she needs to let YOU play with it. You could share if she's nice.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkFAk54X8I/AAAAAAAAA2k/UAY9xmZhmVI/s1600-h/Nikon+2008+340.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkFAk54X8I/AAAAAAAAA2k/UAY9xmZhmVI/s320/Nikon+2008+340.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334800741061648322" /></a><br />It's going to be so fun watching you continue to grow. You are such a big boy now and have a new trick every time I see you. I think my favorite new trick is how you tell yourself "No" when you know you shouldn't be doing whatever it is you're doing.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkFAWdoL3I/AAAAAAAAA2c/-wHa2zlKQ44/s1600-h/Nikon+2008+107.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkFAWdoL3I/AAAAAAAAA2c/-wHa2zlKQ44/s320/Nikon+2008+107.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334800737185050482" /></a><br />Like this picture above, Coco will be less scared than Mommy to let you do the "scary" things in life. For example, play in the Mall playground or swim at the Jones Center. When you are ready for the big jump give me a call, but don't tell Mommy because she would KILL us! I think I had to just grab you and put you in the swimming pool.You LOVED it! Mommy only had 4 panic attacks.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkE_0tWkMI/AAAAAAAAA2U/b3j7NW9cGsY/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+288.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkE_0tWkMI/AAAAAAAAA2U/b3j7NW9cGsY/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+288.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334800728124199106" /></a><br />I think these next few months Mommy is going to be kind of tired from your lack of sleeping and chasing you around. You might just pick one day a week to take it easy. You know, only eat something off the floor maybe a couple of times or if you pull off the entire roll of toilet paper, just put it in the toilet. Not the bathtub.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkE_xWpm2I/AAAAAAAAA2M/M9SCOXRCJ0k/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+202.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SgkE_xWpm2I/AAAAAAAAA2M/M9SCOXRCJ0k/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+202.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334800727223671650" /></a><br />I have decided that I really don't care if I am called a Baby Hog because I love you to pieces and can't get enough. I can't wait to watch you grow even more over this next year.

I decided instead of several posts I would just do one to cover them all. We start with Kari Beth, my sister in law whose birthday is the 3rd. Kari and Aaron are a perfect match and always hilarious! I am totally jealous of her ability to make the same clothes I would want to wear look WAY better.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sge07lljtLI/AAAAAAAAA14/otRtCADSZqM/s1600-h/May+2009+029.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sge07lljtLI/AAAAAAAAA14/otRtCADSZqM/s320/May+2009+029.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334431219438564530" /></a><br />Holly and Kari today at Mother's Day Celebration<br /><br />Here are the girls with Kari at their wedding.

Ha! Her birthday is actually today. Holly is my style and decorating consultant. I am the non-artsy one in the family and I turn to her for help. By the picture below you can tell she has always had a love for accessories. She is always fun and positive to offset me. :)Holly is a great mom, sister, and constant source of entertainment. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sge063SSptI/AAAAAAAAA1g/N3In_npUg9c/s1600-h/May+2009+037.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sge063SSptI/AAAAAAAAA1g/N3In_npUg9c/s320/May+2009+037.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5334431207009724114" /></a><br />This Tuesday (the 12th) is a VERY SPECIAL family birthday that will require its own post with many, many pictures. You will not want to miss the newest May birthday of the family. Please note: Kari, Holly and Whitney try not not have any future babies in May :)<br /><br />Away from the birthday theme, I must congratulate the "baby" of the family for graduating from the U of A on Saturday! This fall she will start the MAT program 8 years after me!

Last year she had Parker 2 days after Mother's Day! She is such a great mom and definitely keeps me laughing with all her stories. Parker is proof that boys are different than girls. I can't help, but laugh sometimes! However, I am the one who will have TWO 13 yr old girls at the same time!

It was actually a very cute movie. I was pleasantly surprised. The show is a little much for me to handle so I thought the movie would be the same. I was wrong! When Regan had to go to the bathroom I talked her into waiting so I could find out if Hannah was really going to tell everyone she was Miley. Such drama! You may have to go see the movie to find out!<br /><br />We sang all the songs out loud because only 5 other people there. Since we've had the soundtrack for a few weeks it made them so excited and they would say, "That's number 5!" or "It's Taylor Swift and it's called Crazier". So funny! Then we came home to the soundtrack blasted on the karaoke machine until 9PM. Breaks only for dinner and bath. Our empty room upstairs has been named the karaoke room since it's the only thing in the room right now. :)<br /><br />The girls are continuing to chose their outfits quite well. I must say they look pretty darn cute in their Hannah shirts. The best thing is to see how COMPLETELY different their choices are when they are all ready to go. Riley insisted on the boots and braids. I will admit that at first she chose jeans and I suggested the skirt to show the boots off better. Regan also added the boogie board to her shoot just for a dramatic statement. <br /><br />I took these pictures as we left for our girls day!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4whGu77I/AAAAAAAAA0w/FRKFgQLdm7c/s1600-h/April+2009+166.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4whGu77I/AAAAAAAAA0w/FRKFgQLdm7c/s320/April+2009+166.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330705883862069170" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4wutcDvI/AAAAAAAAA0o/Tii9ShOehhA/s1600-h/April+2009+170.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4wutcDvI/AAAAAAAAA0o/Tii9ShOehhA/s320/April+2009+170.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330705887514070770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4waKeBrI/AAAAAAAAA0g/q08nnt_Mzvk/s1600-h/April+2009+171.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4waKeBrI/AAAAAAAAA0g/q08nnt_Mzvk/s320/April+2009+171.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330705881998689970" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4v9nB8jI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/oZdzMLRMMJY/s1600-h/April+2009+169.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4v9nB8jI/AAAAAAAAA0Y/oZdzMLRMMJY/s320/April+2009+169.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330705874333856306" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4vppqrgI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/xY6Yu6IbJEc/s1600-h/April+2009+168.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sfp4vppqrgI/AAAAAAAAA0Q/xY6Yu6IbJEc/s320/April+2009+168.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330705868976205314" /></a>Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-74320204759217894022009-04-27T22:07:00.005-05:002009-04-27T22:39:49.344-05:00Singin' and Dancin'Whew! Last week was crazy! I am a BIG homebody so not being home much just makes me tired! Sad, I know. Last Sunday night the girls sang with the FBC Springdale Children's Choir.

Neither of us has been and it is a little overwhelming when you don't know what it is like! Anyone who <span style="font-style:italic;">has</span> been please give us any tips about the best places to stay and eat. We are deciding between the Contemporary, Animal Kingdom or one of the value resorts if it's not worth the $$ to stay at a Deluxe. That's why we need your help. Other questions we have are about the dining plan. Did you do it? Which one and was it worth it? I called and talked to a Disney agent today and all we need to do is finalize where we are staying and which meal plan we want. So HELP US!

The meeting went well and the girls seemed comfortable there. They said the questions were "easy" and they knew all the answers. Ha! I am just glad they talked. After their test was over they came into the principal's office with us and Riley wouldn't answer any of Mrs. Foley's questions. She had her feet up on the couch with a skirt on and rolled around in Jason's lap. I was so embarrassed. We talked about them being together or separated and I told her either way was okay because they don't depend on each other but also wouldn't keep each other from developing either. She won't place until August so I will pray until then.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6djPqNX5I/AAAAAAAAAw0/Zxnf1pX-DJ0/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+473.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6djPqNX5I/AAAAAAAAAw0/Zxnf1pX-DJ0/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+473.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322865038423056274" /></a><br />On the way to our new school!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6diy7A8CI/AAAAAAAAAws/QxgpaZ9uXyM/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+474.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6diy7A8CI/AAAAAAAAAws/QxgpaZ9uXyM/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+474.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322865030708916258" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6dhtOioMI/AAAAAAAAAwk/RPtCFCKbU_0/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+475.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/Sd6dhtOioMI/AAAAAAAAAwk/RPtCFCKbU_0/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+475.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322865012000334018" /></a><br />Regan posed in the kindergarten hallway for me.

Tomorrow is the big day! We have our family interview and the girls do their kindergarten testing! I am scared and nervous. Imagine how bad I will be the first day of school. Eeeek! Yesterday I took the girls on a "Mommy guided" tour of their school so when they show up for testing they at least are familiar with the place. They were sick on the meet the kindergarten teachers day. Regan was SO excited. Riley was too, but she would never admit it. I have really been talking about starting school and beginning lots of sentences with, "Next year when you are in school......" just to start the mental preparations. I am nervous about the being in the same classroom or not conversation. I am also worried they will be nervous in the testing process and not show their true genius! They are still 4 so I feel like they are a little young and may be shy. Obviously I am worried and nervous.....<br /><br />I couldn't post without a picture so this is from last weekend in Branson. I will post with more pictures later! Kindergarten has taken over my brain!!!!Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-72454322888075492232009-04-06T18:12:00.003-05:002009-04-06T18:32:23.828-05:00Mom's Birthday (no old school, sorry Kari)I haven't had a chance to get my "old school" pics of mom together. I have so many good ones and need time to get them together! But I don't want to get behind so here's the birthday post. Last Thursday we surprised mom by all showing up at the restaurant my dad was taking her to and then to Holly's for cupcakes. So Happy Birthday Mom. We all love you! Most people think our Mom is one of us sister's and someone actually asked me once if Regan was hers and Riley was mine! Hope it's genetic and I got the gene.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNP0ZZrFI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/dEt3YqbEycc/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+336.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNP0ZZrFI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/dEt3YqbEycc/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+336.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321721212594400338" /></a><br />As you see above Parker is such a stud, always dressed well.

Riley's birthday outfit consisted of 2 shirts, a skirt over a pair of pants. Regan is wearing her "fighting clothes". We play Zelda Wii around here and she is completely obsessed. She must always be dressed as Link (main character) in her green shirt, brown pants, and boots. She also has a sword she puts down the back of her shirt as her sheath and rides her stick horse around. As Holly always says, it totally fits.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNPtKETDI/AAAAAAAAAwA/3MmF6Uvzn2M/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+341.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNPtKETDI/AAAAAAAAAwA/3MmF6Uvzn2M/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+341.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321721210651036722" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNPJr5LwI/AAAAAAAAAv4/g0jvTG2t31g/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+343.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SdqNPJr5LwI/AAAAAAAAAv4/g0jvTG2t31g/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+343.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321721201129238274" /></a><br />This photo is what was happening when we were leaving Holly's house that night. Aaron licked the icing off of a cupcake so Holly smashed it in his face. We left as he chased her around.<br /><br />I know it is shocking that I have posted twice in one day! Amazing! Since Jason decided we should go to Branson (Friday night at 6pm!) and Easter is right around the corner I knew I couldn't be behind.Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-8805420728698065912009-04-06T12:19:00.002-05:002009-04-06T12:27:22.843-05:00Target Photos as promisedPer Riley's request here are the much anticipated Target shots.

She said, "Mommy, did God give you two babies in your tummy so we could be best friends?"<br /><br />I pray every day that they will continue to be the best friends they are now. At 4 they are SO into playing and get along so well. Sometimes in the mornings they won't even come down until lunch! Except for today when I heard, "Hey Mom! I'm hungry and bring it up here!" <br /><br />P.S. - The girls requested photos taken outside the new Target because when we were in Florida last summer they WOULD NOT let me take their picture at the new Target there and they wanted to make up for it! Then after I said I had my camera Riley told me to put in on the computer and send it to all the people I know. I am dead serious that they actually remembered and requested all of that. I haven't uploaded those but I was afraid to forget the sweet question Regan asked me and had to get it in writing! The target photo op is coming up. Don't miss it! Riley might have her feelings hurt if you miss out :( Ha!Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1585888976162350965.post-54617649036803300092009-03-18T22:58:00.004-05:002009-03-18T23:19:08.597-05:00Happy Birthday Dad!Happy Birthday Dad!

She's next!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEB2jYucI/AAAAAAAAAuw/HahdCarxxVc/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+301.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEB2jYucI/AAAAAAAAAuw/HahdCarxxVc/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+301.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314744571376744898" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBiBcsOI/AAAAAAAAAuo/jRF8jZyhnYk/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+296.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBiBcsOI/AAAAAAAAAuo/jRF8jZyhnYk/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+296.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314744565865689314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBT7in2I/AAAAAAAAAug/xufJNKldN3I/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+293.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBT7in2I/AAAAAAAAAug/xufJNKldN3I/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+293.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314744562082815842" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBd3Z2qI/AAAAAAAAAuY/QGRv58bF8uE/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+292.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/ScHEBd3Z2qI/AAAAAAAAAuY/QGRv58bF8uE/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+292.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314744564749818530" /></a><br />We love you Papa Wray!<br />Please excuse my dirty children.

Everyone is healthy! She looks like her mom (so did her big brother and sister) and the girls are DYING to see her.

The weather has been so great and we haven't enjoyed it beyond the fresh air coming in the windows. Hopefully this weather will stay around!<br /><br />I have missed out on SO MUCH since the girls are sick. Since Jason works so far from home getting out in the evenings isn't really an option by the time he gets home. I have yet to experience the greatness of our NEW TARGET! I was so pumped up to go too! <br /><br />I have also seriously missed out on the cuteness of this little guy. Don't you just want to kiss his little cheeks? <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSqialKE4I/AAAAAAAAAtA/em23DITFhk8/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+202.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSqialKE4I/AAAAAAAAAtA/em23DITFhk8/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+202.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311057368804103042" /></a><br /><br />Tomorrow is also a big day in Jason's family! Tomorrow is SuSu's Brithday! Happy Birthday SuSu. We love you! Jason is with his parents in Jonesboro for our niece to be born. I mentioned before that my sister in law was going in last Tuesday but they postponed everything until tomorrow. So Happy Birthday to Lillian Blessing West as well! We are sad to not be there but think your mom will appreciate our germs being very far away. :) I will post pictures as soon as Jason sends them.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSjDlmh0QI/AAAAAAAAAsw/-Eh2-1-3Ju0/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+229.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSjDlmh0QI/AAAAAAAAAsw/-Eh2-1-3Ju0/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+229.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311049142605304066" /></a><br /><br />This pic was from Jason's 30th birthday dinner with his family. Riley loves that hat because she feels it makes her look more like Miley. Regan's mouth looks weird due to chocolate icing.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSjDflvo4I/AAAAAAAAAso/RlzTsvMqvRw/s1600-h/Cool+Pix+Photos+230.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_GbKW1_lIQWw/SbSjDflvo4I/AAAAAAAAAso/RlzTsvMqvRw/s320/Cool+Pix+Photos+230.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5311049140991402882" /></a><br /><br />Riley's hat makes me think of a new process we are going through around here. Moms of same sex twins face the dilemma of dressing identical, similar, or not at all alike. Sounds silly, I know. I have never dressed the girls identical. I have always gotten the same outfits in different patterns or colors or whatever. I also have always just picked out their clothes for the day and they never really cared. Since the girls are so independent I thought I should just start letting them pick out their own clothes from now on. I thought it would be so easy. Here is how it goes when I ask "So what so you want to wear?":<br /><br />Regan: I want a black turtle neck, brown pants, and a pink belt. Hmmmmm......<br />After explaining matching she agrees and we move on.<br /><br />Riley: A pink dress<br />Me: Do you want leggings or tights?<br />Riley: Nothing<br />Me: It's too cold for this without either one.<br />Riley: Okay then I want that (shirt).<br />Me: Okay, what pants.<br />Riley: A skirt.<br />Me: Which one<br />Riley: Pink.<br />Me: I don't have a pink skirt.<br />Riley: Remember last summer the one...<br />Me: That's too small.<br />Riley: Where is it? <br />Me: With your clothes that are too small.<br />Riley: How about you find it and I try it and see.<br />Me: If you wear a skirt you will still have to pick leggings or tights.<br />Riley: But I don't want those!<br /><br /><br />Okay you get the point. I told Jason I never thought it would cause such issues! Honestly neither one of them really care what they wear but I thought it would be healthy to start developing independent identities. Even if it is just what they wear.Candicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03685524887997620755noreply@blogger.com0
