The One and Only Chad

So I get to write a a post about my amazing husband! We have been married for 8 1/2 years. Wow. He is a great person and my very best friend. I am glad that I am married to him. Chad is a great singer, listener, and father. He simply dotes his attention on his two daughters. He sometimes gets in trouble because he should be doing homework but instead he is playing with the kids.

Favorite Foods: Apple pie, peanut butter, muffins, cookies and milk, and cereal with milk.

Movies: All of them. He loves to watch movies. He really likes super hero movies.

Sayings: "Sure"

Toys: Expensive PS2 or exercise equipment.

Places to go: He like to be home because he is never here that much.

Color: Green.

Dislikes: Paperwork, typing, polices, coconut, and mean people.

Drinks: Milk, juice, and pretty much anything.

This is my wonderful Chad. He is a great guy; in case you didn't know.

Caterpillar

When my Ariana was born she liked to eat. She liked to eat and eat and eat. Both of my children have books that inspire me and make me think of them. They receive these book names before they come home from the hospital. Ariana is "The Very Hungary Caterpillar". It's still true to this day. Yet, she is smaller than McKayla was at this point. Go figure. (McKayla's book is "Where the Wild Things Are"). Ariana has a smile that lights up her whole face. It is hard to get on camera, but I did my best.

Favorite Foods: Umm...nursing. I'm leaving it at that.

Movie: None! She is only 7 months old.

Sayings: Mamamamamam. Bababababababa. Dadadadadad.

Toys: Electrical cords, papers, and rubber spatulas. I know we are looking at years of therapy for this.

Places to go: No where. She would like to stay in her jammies all day and play in mom and dad's bed with the whole family there tucked underneath the blankets.

Color: Can she tell things like that yet? Okay, she can, but she can't tell us.

Dislikes: Mom leaving her line of vision, being with someone other than mom, being in her car seat, and having to eat real food when she wants to nurse.

Drinks: "I'll have what you're having, please."

We are so grateful for this funny girl. McKayla is so independent, and we wanted one that would need parents, careful what you wish for!

All About McKayla

I tried to do this post yesterday, but my computer froze up. I am trying again.


I love this picture of McKayla because it shows what a great imagination she has. She brought this outfit to me and asked me to make her beautiful. She wanted to be a dancing princess. I think it is great!

McKayla likes and dislikes all sorts of crazy things. So, here is a list just about McKayla.

Favorite Foods: fried rice, hot dogs, pudding, bananas, yogurt, and anything chocolate.

Favorite movies: Just about anything animated. She rotates through all of our movies on a regular basis. Princesses are very high on the list.

Favorite Sayings: "Are you kidding me?" "But you want to." "You're my hero."

Places to go: Anywhere but home.

Colors: Pink or what ever she feels like.

Dislikes: Cleaning her room, washing her hair, and going to bed.

Drinks: She loves soda pop. She only gets this when we go out to eat, so it's a treat. She also likes milk and juice.

This is my crazy, but lovable child.

Goober Heads

So, I tried coming up with something silly to call McKayla when she wasn't listening to me. I started calling her a goober head. Yes, this is my own language. Whenever she wouldn't listen I would ask if she was being a goober head. Well, now when I don't listen to her, I'm the goober head.

Okay, so now that you all know I'm a goober head, look at my two cute kids!

Look at that cute girl!

Don't call the fashion police. This is what she wanted to wear.

Leaves Still Falling

I have been working on my yard for the past couple of days. I have bagged 15 bags this time. I am still not done. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I am hoping that I only have maybe 10 bags left. So far I have bagged 29 bags of leaves total. I wonder how that compares to last year? I'm not sure, but this year I am feeling good about my yard work. I want to do so much more. I wanted to put in my pond this fall and fertilize and put down grass seed. Alas, I have not. Good intentions, no money or time. Sigh. That's okay because I still love my yard.

Okay, so this is not my yard, but wouldn't it be nice if it was?

Places to Go and Things to Do

Ariana is up and going. She can crawl any where she wants. She loves being where ever her sister is. This morning Chad found her on the bottom step trying to go up stairs after McKayla. She was upset because she worked really hard and only got one step out of the way. I don't want her working on stairs. I don't want her standing up to things and trying to be as big as McKayla. I want her to stay my snugly baby. Sorry there is no picture of the stair incident. I need to recharge my camera batteries. Oh Man!
