Happy Birthday Millie Bug

One year ago today you were born!

Millie you are such a breath of fresh air.

I LOVE YOU with all my soul.

You are such a happy child and love your sister

so much. Everyone that sees you thinks you are the

cutest little 16lb lady they have ever seen.

Happy Birthday Little One!

Easter Saturday

We started the day off with some crying because Mom

made them sit next to the weird bunny creature.

Elizabeth only did it because Millie did it.

(which I hope this isn't the start of how she will make her future decisions)

Raced some horses and looked at some real ones

Got stuck in an apple

Then got some candy filled eggs.

The field was 4 times this size

After naps we got daddy and went to

The Procession of the Species

The city put a bunch of chalk out for the kids to

draw and closed off the roads. Got to Love Olympia!

There were lots of Species!!!!

This guy was screaming "shark" the whole time

it was funny.

In the end This one was happy to be in the sun

And This one looked like she had the

best day ever!

Jeggings Baby!!!!

Jeggings Baby!!!

You can squat in them

you can sing in them

stomp in them

run in them

boogie in them

really boogie in them

And ROAR in them

That's Jeggings Baby!!!

Ready to Sew

I really want to sew. I have been thinking about it

for a while and now I am ready to start.

I dabbled a little in Hawaii but then the sewing machine

broke and that was the end of my ventures.

I want something easy to use and maybe with

the capability to handle quilting, if I dare try.

(not likely but keeping my options open)

For the moment I just want to fix dress up

clothes and create simple lovelies.

SO, To all you lovely sewers out there,

which machine do you use and why do you LOVE it?

10 months and counting

I can't believe this little heavy weight is

10 months old!!!

She weighs a whopping 14.9

Yes, I know, She is huge. I can barely

hold her these days she is so heavy.

I love this little bug. She is my biggest fan.

Loves her sister and thinks she is hilarious.

(especially when E throws tantrums)

Oh and running away while I change her diaper

is so funny to her. I love that she is all mine!

The day that changed my life

Look at us.... so young and excited for what life will bring.

And we are still so excited!!!

Every year when March 11th comes around I think of all the

events, 6 years ago, of that day I met Jesse.

All the decisions that lead me here. Deciding not to kiss

boys on the first date that morning, going to the party even though

it was super awkward since I just stopped seeing the

boy whose house it was at earlier that morning ect.

Any way to keep a long story short. I am so glad I denied

Jesse's kiss that night and glad Taylor was living with

Jesse (and his family) before marrying his best friend Chris.

These three humans are one of a kind and I will

love them for the rest of eternity.

Shhhh people are asleep

Do you think it is just bad kids who scream in their sleep?

Every night without fail, Elizabeth sits up and screams.

It is not like she is scared. She is normally yelling that

she didn't do something or she doesn't like someone.

The other day I asked who she didn't like and she

said "Dora". Or she just has so much to say that she

has to talk about it in her sleep.

Oh and she walks too. We often here her in her closet

sleep playing or she will be asleep in the middle

of the floor. She has even been known to walk out of her room

after a nap, start a mumbling conversation with me then

wake up all of a sudden wondering where she is.

It was all fine and dandy until her loudness

started waking up her sister.

It's rather annoying. But they love sharing a room with

each other and I would never change that.

Plus there is the little detail of not having another room

to change that. :)

Snow Day

While this one was sleeping

We went out in the front yard to make snow

people with the neighbors.

Roberta wore a lovely hat with chocolate bunnies

for eyes & mouth, a carrot for a nose and

dishwasher soaps for buttons.

Oliver had pine cones for eyes, a carrot for a nose,

rocks for teeth (due to the pipe he smokes)

and big rocks for buttons

It is so fun having a front & back yard that the

kids can play in!!!

We still need to invest in proper gloves.

4 teeth

This little sunshine has 4 teeth!

The Price Ladies

Last Sunday Elizabeth sported her

fashionable green jacket ($5) and

her polka dotted brown dress ($10)

Millie rocked a previously owned (by her sister)

stripped dress

And I, mommy, got puked on right as

we reached the car and were already making it

to church with 1 minute to spare.

So I wore the puke arm shirt proudly.

The Ladies

Who occasionally bathe. Ha. I have been better about

bathing Millie. She bathes like 2 times a week now!

I thought it bad taste to put a photo of myself bathing.

I promise I bathe too!
