Random things

This I had to document! I just love this kids smile! The dimples and teeth make it one of the best smiles I have ever seen!!
Madison has started putting her hands out like this EVERY time I take a picture or ask to see how she looks!! She will even leave the bathroom after I do her hair and walk to Brad with her hands out like that to show him her hair!!
It is so funny ...and weird!
Emma has started copying everything "sissy" does!! Madison had the apron on so she had to have it on!! It is so cute how much she wants to be like her big sister.
On a side note I have always hated when people call their kids sissy or sister! Who knows why, but I just don't like it! Now I have realized that Madison is really hard to say when you are just learning how to talk!! I finally get it! And think its kind of cute!

Here is our crew!! The girls have had so much fun having me watch kids! I think they will go through with drawls when I don't do it anymore! Not that I plan on it anytime soon!
Brad's Grandpa Lewis has been coming over for Sunday dinners and the girls have found lots to fill their time with when he is here. Madison pushes Emma around on the walker. They both just laugh and laugh!

Escapee!

We have now encountered yet another problem we didn't have to worry about with Madison!! Escaping the crib!! I didn't know what to do, not having dealt with this before, but after talking to many trusted people!! And trying many different things we were able to drop the mattress to the floor! That worked well for about a month and then one morning I woke to a knocking at the girls' door, and lo and behold it was the escapee!!
Now, that we have excepted the inevitable, we have changed the crib into a toddler bed!! Much to my surprise it hasn't been to bad! I have to sit with her for about 5 minutes at nap time until she falls asleep. She does get out of bed at night but since she still can't open the door we don't have to worry to much! Plus Madison keeps her in check!!

(Don't mock the pillowcase!! It was Brad's and the girls love it!)

We are alive!

Well I thought I should post something since its has been awhile. I keep wanting to post but our cord to connect the camera to the computer is MIA, and I always like posts with pictures! But I guess that's what happens when you try to organize...you can't find anything!

Things are going good here. We are staying very busy. We have kids over here Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Madison has Joy school on Thursday and Dance on Friday! Then on Saturday we all go to Lowe's where they have a wood project that Brad and Madison put together! (Every Saturday I have to convince myself to go, but once we're there and seeing how excited Madison is, makes it worth it!!) In between all that we have Doctors,Dentist and Chiropractic appointments in Reno which makes the week go really fast! It makes you really appreciate the days you do stay home!!

Emma is keeping us on our toes, she is really quick to smile and scream, we never know which it will be!! The smiles out way the screams..lucky for her, and us!!

Well that's our lives in a nutshell.

As soon as we find the missing cord I will post pictures!

Happy Easter

We had two Easters this year. One with the Lewis' on Saturday and one on Sunday with Brya and her family. It was really nice we had an Easter egg hunt at both and then at the Lewis' we had the traditional Easter dinner. On Sunday we decided to just have appetizers. It was great!!I couldn't have planned it better myself, oh wait I did plan it! This was the Easter egg hunt the Easter Bunny did at my house!! Madison was very excited! It probably helps that she is the oldest so its easier!Although Emma was the smallest, she still held her own! No surprise there!

Here are our little Bunny's! Aren't they cute?

The kids made out like bandits!!

The Easter Bunny has gotten really good over the years!

Chuck E Cheese

We decided to take the kids to Chuck E Cheese! So we headed up with Brya's family and had so much fun! I have to say I still have lots of fun there!!

(We haven't gone since in a REALLY long time and Madison's asks about going all the time!)

Emma was so excited! This was her first time going when she was old enough to play and she spent the whole time riding all the cars!

She even started catching rides with strange men!
At least she goes for the talk, dark, and handsome type!!
As I was doing this post I noticed that we do not have one single picture of Madison or Brya's kids. I guess we were just trying to make it fair since Madison has SO many!!

More Pictures of our Angels

Since it had been awhile since I posted I have a lot to update on so here we go! In January Madison started ABC School, like Joy School! She loves it!! In the beginning she would get up everyday and ask if she was going to school! She has so much fun and the people we do it with are so great!
Brad, Madison and Emma have now taken to watching Phineas and Pherb! A cartoon that is surprisingly funny! Emma now has part of the beginning memorized, sad I know!!

Emma is following in her sister's footsteps, she loves to be on the phone!!

Funny story that has to be remembered!!

The other day Brya came down to go to our friend's baby shower. Brad watched Brya's four and ours (he is a brave man!) When we got home the older three were on the couch in towels. They had gotten in the water out back and so Brad gave them a bath. Well the boys clothes were still in the dryer when we got home so to preserve the girls innocence we got clothes for the boys, since I only have girls they were girl clothes. We had mixed reactions!! Wyatt screamed and cried about putting on the "girl clothes." Then there was Dayton who was more then happy to wear them. In fact when we finally took them off we had to fight him to take them off and he was hugging the panties and shirt saying "mine." It was hilarious!

The kids playing ring-around-the -rosies! Emma fell down too soon!!

Emma probably watching Phineas and Pherb again! I just love her outfit, don't you?

Ice Cream

Well I know it has been forever!! I have finally found a second to blog!! Things have been very crazy around here and I just haven't had the time and when I do I just want to vegetate!! So here are a couple pictures I thought were cute!! My girls have taken on my liking of Ice cream!!
The only difference is they like chocolate, which they get from their father!! I thought this one was just hilarious!! Can you believe those teeth!! They are so cute BUT I know she won't think so when shes older!! So we are yet again trying to get her to stop sucking her fingers!! Wish us luck!! If anyone has suggestions that would be GREAT!!

I thought this one was just cute, it was valentines day and that was the monkey Madison got for her!! The dollar store is fantastic!!
