Did I give birth to twins???

Katie and Brielle both had Dr's appointments today. I knew that they were getting close in weight just by picking them both up but today it was confirmed... Katie(28lb) only weighs 1/2 pound heaver than Brielle(27.5lb) That little monkey is going to bypase big sister in no time!!!

Conversation in the Dr's office:
Dr: Who would like to go first?
Katie: Well Brielle just told me she really wanted to!
Dr: OK, how are you doing Brielle?
Katie: She really wants some shots, and a sticker!
Brielle: NOOOOOOOOO! (and the crying/screaming starts)
Thanks Katie!!
Luckily she really didnt have to have any shots so we were lucky! And the nice Dr. still gave her a sticker!

Tag Tag Bo Bag- My Favorite Indulgences

My Sister-in-law Holly tagged me with this fun tag....

Whenever Oprah does her ‘Favorite Things’ show, I am always curious about the things she chooses and why. Tell me if money were not an issue and you wanted to load up a basket of your most ‘Favorite Things’ and give it to your friends, what would you choose and why? It can be something simple, like the type of pen you use or something big like the type of car you drive. I will list my ‘Things’ and then I will tag a few of you to do the same thing. Here they are in no particular order...

1) Chi Flat Iron- Well worth the money!!!

I love this flat iron. I use it everyday and it is fantastic!!!

2) Kirby Vacuum- we really splurged on this one. But the salesman came around when I was pregnant and nesting and I was really wanting to have my house be free of pet hair. This vacuum has been the best investment. I like it a lot better than a Dyson. (I have my sisters old Dyson that she left here and they are nice don't get me wrong!)

3) Bare Minerals Makeup- I love it!!! My face feels light and clean even

with makeup on and it stays on all day and looks the same at night as when I first applied it!

4) Modbe Swimsuit- I haven't actually bought one yet but I am going to for this summer. They have the cutest styles and flatter lots of different body types while being modest. And I have heard the fabric keeps up really well and you don't get those little balls on it. (know what I mean??)

5) Guitar Hero III Wii- This game is so much fun and I have actually gotten pretty good at it. I can do hard level and have even gotten a few 5 stars!!

(i know this is a really flattering picture!)

I tag Megan, Tiffany, and Natalie!!!

Preschool is cool!!!

I am really lucky that I get to teach a joyschool preschool for Katie and her cute friends! Myself and 3 other moms trade weeks teaching and the kids get a long so well it really is a lot of fun! I captured some pictures today of the girls playing some Nursery Rhyme games.

Winter makes a comeback!

So we had some really nice spring weather last week but then it snowed again (on Saturday). My kids have been dying to go outside but it is freezing out there. So yesterday we played the Wii and the girls had so much fun boxing each other. I was cracking up how much they got into it!! I should have done a video instead of still pictures because it just doesnt capture the moment!

Things I want to learn

My sister in law's post inspired me to think about things I might like to learn to do or classes I want to take. http://tylerhollyellalily.blogspot.com

While Holly is much funnier than I am (and can be because she is already so amazingly talented!!!)... I really seriously would like to find some hobbies I enjoy or things I am really good at.

1. Join a book club so that I can have a reason and an inspiration to read good books. I really am not a big reader but I do enjoy books. I just seem to prioritize wrong and end up watching TV instead!

2. Sewing- same as everyone I guess. But I have made some pillowcases! I own a sewing maching and have not really used it so it would be fun to make cute things!

3. Digital scrapbooking (photoshop)- I downloaded a free version (which just expired) and I couldnt figure it out for the life of me! I see how cute some friends of mine digital scrapbooks are and I think it would be fun and much easier than dragging out all the endless supplies!

4. Singing Lessons- I have always loved to sing and some people have told me I have a nice voice but I have never gotten any sort of lessons, I think it would be good to develop that talent a little more.

5. Home decorating/organizing- wow I am so inadequate in this area. I really want to learn some basics for decorating and organizing my house! So my friends dont have to always come and decorate for me (THANKS JEN!!!)

6. Insitute class- who doesnt need some more spiritual inspiration???

Bruiser!!

I officially win the award for the best mom this week! On Tuesday Katie had a friend over to play and Katie after a while started getting whiny(which isn't that unusual!!) So I asked her to clean up some toys out of the bounce house so we could turn it off and she started crying and was being uncooperative. So I tossed her into the bounce house and she started screaming and I promptly sent her to her room!!! I sent her friend home, fed Brielle a snack and about a half an hour later checked on Katie in her room. Low and behold she had a black eye!! I said: "What happened??" and she told me that as I tossed her into the bounce house, her and Brielle bonked heads! I just thought she was crying because I was making her help! I guess I could have been a little less mean!! Lesson learned!

Happy Birthday AMY!!

Happy Birthday to my sister Amy! We miss you, and hope you are having a great day!!!
