Traveling

Two suitcases, two backpacks, 2 car seats, 1 computer bag, 1 carry on suitcase, and a stroller. Traveling with kids sucks. Anyone who has done it knows it sucks. No matter how much time you take to prepare and pack ahead of time it still feels like there isn't enough time to get things done. We have to wake up at 4am tomorrow and Drive to the airport. We prepaid out valet parking and then get to go through airport security with a computer bag, 2 back packs, a stroller and one car seat. Oh ya don't forget they make everyone take off their shoes, including the children, oh and we need to take both computers out of the backpacks, and make sure no liquids are in the sippy cups. Can they make it any harder for a family to travel???? Just pray that the children are still alive and that I didn't leave Jeff on the side of the road somewhere, before we get to Grandma's and grandpa's.

Happy New Year !

We had a great Christmas morning. Santa brought the girls a kitchen and 2 stockings. He left the gifts in the playroom and even set up the kitchen! Both girls went running for the kitchen and played there for about 20 minutes before Keira remembered there was more gifts under the tree. Keira got some princess books and figures, the fairies collection, tag reading system, a barbie and her car. Paije got the backyardigans circus and figures, books, little people minivan, and more figures for it. They both got books, art supplies, and building blocks to share. Daddy got a PS3, heated seat cover for his car, and Keira picked out heated socks cause daddy's feet are always cold. Mommy got a new camera, Tinkerbell mug, and a hair iron. This is the first Christmas that Keira really understood what was going on. She was up until midnight trying to wait for santa. I went to check on her at 11:15 to find she was still awake. When I opened the door she Thought Santa had come. We kept telling her Santa doesnt come until she is asleep. Both girls were up by 8am. Needless to say I am sure Keira will nap today. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Here are the links to the pictures. There are too many to post. One of the links is to the cookie making the girls and daddy made for Santa. That was alot of fun.

Sleeping children

I find my girls sleeping weird all the time. I thought these pictures would make everyone laugh. Yes the one with Keira's finger in her nose is exactly how we found her. I was surprised that night when we didn't wake her up with our laughing.

Keira Flash Back

I was looking through some pictures on the computer and came across a lot of Keira as a baby. I hope you all enjoy seeing these as much as I did.

Christmas tree fun

This year we went to St. Nicks tree farm where we (meaning Jeff) cut down our own christmas tree. It was raining but we had alot of fun. The girls were really muddy but oh well. We decorated the tree the next day. Paije really had fun. Keira and Paije made sure the bottom of the tree was fully decorated. Here are the pictures.

Paije is 2 now!

My baby is 2. She still lets me call her a baby. In fact she likes it. But at the same time she is such a little girl. She is talking so much now. She giggles and calls people silly. Out of the blue she will come up to you and talk in full sentences. She jumps off things and loves to cuddle and feed her baby dolls. Paijey is very stubborn too. Her new phrase is uh-uh- as in no no. I will tell her to put something down and she says UH UH. too cute but annoying too. She also walks around saying HI-YA and kicks or punches. Today she said it just before hitting Jeff with a drum stick. I about died laughing. Her favorite movie is Curious George. She can sing all her bed time songs and just learned the ABC song. Paije also will tell you when she goes poop. Hopefully we are getting closer to potty training. One can hope! Paije can also draw circles and loves to scribble. On the very rare occasion that I let her do arts and craft, cause she is just so messy, her favorite activity is to paint. she will paint the same thing for an hour if you let her. She also tries to tells Knock Knock jokes. She learned those from Keira, who she adores and worships. She wants to be just like her big sister. Everything Keira does so does Paije. Here are Paijey's B-day party pictures.
