Jeff and I went to the Seattle Seahawks game with Megan and Sam. It was alot of fun. I love the game of football. Let me tell you this stadium is so freaking loud. Seattle won against the raiders. We also had great seats. At the 10 yard line in the club level in row C. Awesome view from there. here are a few pictures of the game.

Things we have taught Paije to say

This week Paije has learned a few new phrases or words.

She has learned the following

white, LOOK DADDY, Blues clues, dont wanna, now!, lets go, kiss it, other side, and my favorite
Obama Mama! LOL Yes I am teaching her early. She actually pronounces it Bama Mama. It's too cute. I just need to teach her NO McBush........

Random pictures

For those who haven't been to our house here are pictures of the girls rooms. Keira has a big girl room done in lime green and pink. She helped put all the wall decals on. Paije's room is done in the Backyardigans. She loves it and yells " LOOK PABLO" as she points to the characters. We also had to get rid of the crib even though it was also a toddler bed. Paije kept getting her legs caught between the slats. It was too dangerous to keep it and risk her breaking her leg. We bought the Deigo toddler bed and decorated it with backyardigan stickers. When Paije stops
climbing on things we will put furniture in her room.

We also went to the local county fair this week. We didnt take the camera but both Keira and Paije had fun. Paije even ran onto a few rides. Both of the girls loved the mirror maze. Until keira slammed into one at full speed. we saw lots of her friends at the fair. We have one picture I think..


Paije has learned to eat from an ice cream cone. Its very messy but she loves it. I only put a tablespoon amount in the cone to just fill the inside. She thinks its great. Anything big sister does Paije wants to do too.

Jeff needs a boy!

So tonight Keira played beauty shop with daddy. It started out as a joke I played on Gracie's parents. Keira came home with one eye started to turn red and brown. She got kicked by accident. Gracie told her daddy she did it while trying to do a flip. While she was telling her daddy she also showed him what she did. Sam asked for a picture. I took a few but it doesn't show up well on camera cause its so light. I decided to darken it up a bit and send it to them. Yes I am evil. Well after I was done putting the make up on Keira she put some on daddy. Jeff just loved it. I have to say my hubby looks awesome as a whore. hehehe I have blue eye shadow on too. Keira likes the bright colors. Poor daddy we can always hope Paijey turns into a tomboy......




the pretend black eye....


Isn't daddy lovely!!


Make up lessons are a must when the time comes...

Olympics

Keira loves watching the Olympics. She really enjoys the swimming and gymnastics. She says she is going to be in the Olympics, and Paijey too. Keira is going to be a super fast swimmer and beat the boys. Paijey is going to be doing flips on the bars like the pretty girls with glitter on t.v.

So here are a couple of pictures of the Future Olympians

Keira summer 2007- sorry I just realized I need to take some of this summer.



Paije spring 2008----We are working on her dismount!!

People I want to thank

For those who don't know my wedding ring snapped. I got it caught on something and damn near ripped my finger off. So it has been sitting in Jeff's nightstand drawer for about 2 months now. I keep saying I need to take it down to get fixed. Needless to say the women who can barley find time to go to the doctor never got around to taking the ring in to get fixed. So while I was at the amusement park Jeff and Paije went to the jeweler and had my ring fixed. I was so happy. I love my ring. So THANKS to my hubby!!

I like to call people and just ramble on and on about the cute things my kidos are doing at the moment. I try to listen about the other persons day too but ya I ramble. Mostly I ramble to Marisa. She is always so patient with me and I am sure she is so sick of listening to me go on and on and on. Thanks Marisa for listening to me.

Like most people I am blessed, or not depending on how you look at it, with a large extended family. I have a lot of girlfriends who have horrible in laws, I don't. My in laws are really good people. We may not agree on each others life choices but it's all good. They are not mean, overbearing, obsessive, passive aggressive, drama creators, or any of the other things some of my girlfriends have to deal with. We all respect each other enough and love each other enough to live and let live. Thanks to my in laws!

Keira ran from the car today through a parking lot. She knows better. Thanks to the stranger who grabbed her mid stride and carried her back to me!!!

Thanks to the mom at the coffee shop who gave me a diaper when I realized I was out. Believe me no one wanted to drive home with Paije smelling like that!

Now that I have just bored everyone, I will get back to watching the Olympics.

Amusement Park Fun

The amusement park was fun. The girls had a really long day. We all got up at 8am and drove to the park and got there just after it opened. Unfortunately it wasn't too warm on Friday. I was hoping it would last but this is Seattle and well if you don't like the weather wait ten minutes is the saying around here.

We did all the rides we could with the girls. I think the favorite was the frog hopper. Keira was so excited and poor Grace was so scared she started crying before the ride even started. We told the ride operator to just start the ride. After 10 seconds grace was laughing just like Keira.


Another favorite ride was the sack slide. the girls walked all the way up alone with their sacks and went down the great big slide. Keira loved it.


We also went on boats, cars, ferris wheel, ship, and a paratrooper ride that made both mommies really sick. But both girls loved it so it was worth it.

After the rides we hit the water park. The kiddie area was lots of fun but the water was ice cold. We headed to the congo river and floated around. After the river we saw an inter tube ride we really wanted to go on. When I say we I mean the moms. So we got the 4 person inter tube and headed up the 5 flights of stairs. We get to the top and had to tell the girls a small white lie. Yes we are evil moms. We start to go down and its all fun and slow then we hit the first drop and thats when poor Grace lost it. She started screaming. We are slinging up the sides of this slide. Keira had the first to get slung up and she was high up the slide then we switched sides and it was Grace's turn to ride the side of the slide. Megan and I were laughing the whole time. Then at the bottom we hit the pool and Megan went flying head over heels backwards into the water. Poor girl has a hurt back and we didn't think anything bad was gonna happen. After I found out she was fine I was laughing so hard. I couldn't get out of this darn inter tube and Grace was still crying. Of course my girl was asking to go again. We really all had a lot of fun. We left the park at 4:30 and headed to the hotel. It was a really tiring day but we really enjoyed it.

The newest member of our family

For those who don't know we have a puppy. She is an English bulldog/ Australian shepherd mix. She is now 12 weeks old and a little fireball. Paije was terrified of her for the first week or so. We always knew when the pup went near her because she would scream like someone was taking her out of my arms. Keira likes the idea of a puppy but is also a bit afraid of her.

Keira has named 2 of our animals. The kitten we got her for her 2nd birthday she named Swiper. Yep she was 2 so Dora was a favorite. This time since the puppy was her 4th birthday gift she decided to name her puppy Kinzie. Kinzie also happens to be the name of her only girl cousin. Her cousin who is 2 years older then her. Keira loves Kinzie and misses her cousin so much she just had to name the puppy Kinzie. You have no idea how weird it is to yell "Kinzie don't pee on the floor" "Don't let Kinzie eat the poop!" Ya Jeff and I laugh. We tried for 2 days to get Keira to change her mind. But her response was " I love my Kinzie, I miss her so much, so I want to name my puppy Kinzie so I wont miss her so much" mmmmm ya how do you argue with that? So I introduce Puppy Kinzie.

Big Girls

We took the plunge and moved Paije into a big girl bed. After a 1/2 hour search in the boxes in the garage I finally found the little pieces I needed to convert the crib into the toddler bed. Paije loves it. We have not had one problem with it. I thought for sure the first night I would have to go up and down the stairs and finally let her cry it out. She sure showed me. I went to check on her that night and she was sound asleep in the bed. We are going on night number 3 and so far no problem. For nap time she stays in bed too. She does play a bit before actually falling asleep but she did that in the crib too.




Keira has an exciting weekend this week. On Friday we are going to the amusement park/water park. We are going with her best friend Grace and her mommy Megan. It should be fun. Then on Sunday Jeff got tickets for the Mariners and they are going with Grace and her daddy Sam. Keira and Grace love each other so much. When ever they see each other its so over exaggerated, they yell each others name and then do the Kodak run with the arms open wide for the big hug. Man can those two fight though. They fight like sisters already. Alls I have to say is its a good thing the parents like each other cause these two are inseparable.

Time out

Last night Jeff went to see Dark Knight, so it was just the girls and myself at home. I was busy cleaning up and I hear Keira yell," MOMMY Paijey is on the back of the couch." So I tell Paije to get down. Keira says she will help and got Paije down. Then Keira says that Paije needs a time out. I say ok put her in time out, knowing Paije will sit for all of 10 seconds then get up and play. I keep cleaning and then I hear a weird sound. It was a clanking sound. So I finish loading the laundry and then go in search of the sound. This is what I found....



Keira then tells me since Paije wont sit in time out and stay there that she put her in the dog crate so she would stay. Then she had Paije show me that it wasnt locked...



So I then had to try not to laugh and tell Keira that she wasn't allowed to put sister in the dog crate. It was really hard not to laugh. Of course Paije thought it was a game and I couldn't get her out of it. I find her in the crate whenever the pup isn't in there. Got to love life with a toddler and preschooler!
