« Previous EntriesThe kids aren’t the only ones spoiled!
Sunday, July 31st, 2005At our house you can catch stuffed dogs, cats, bunnies, frogs, Elmos, Big Birds, and a myriad of other toys kicking back in the bouncy chair or swing. Maybe you think they are just kicking back enjoying the fabric, but no, they are either vibrating or swinging. They even are listening to tunes. [...]
Bucket o’ Fun
Friday, July 29th, 2005At left is the scene I came home to today. The Girls pink plastic pool had developed cracks—an inevitability in the blazing, dry heat of Phoenix—and so they created some personal pools. Sandi swears that she had nothing to do with it, that they filled up the buckets themselves and got in. Either way, it [...]
Icky Sicky!
Tuesday, July 26th, 2005Kimberly has a right ear infection. She has been whiney for a while now so I was not terribly surprised. I am praying that the medicine will kick in soon and she can be happy again.
The cutest thing has come out of this though. When Kimmie is sobbing and feeling icky Annie [...]
Happily Ever After
Sunday, July 24th, 2005So tonight when I was visiting my cousin Michelle, we were talking. We dreamed ever since we were little girls of growing older and having children together. Michelle got busy on this much sooner than I did, but now we have 8 children between the two of us.
As we were chatting, her children [...]
I You Momma
Saturday, July 23rd, 2005Kimberly has taken to saying “I you” instead of I love you. I love this! It is very endearing to me.
She knows what it means too. She will not say “I love you” to Bill or myself, but when she told my father, “I you” he said “what does that mean” and [...]
I am truly blessed.
Friday, July 22nd, 2005In general when I think of the blessing in my life I think of how lucky I am to have my girls. I think of all the time it took me to get to be with them and I feel very happy to finally be here. All along this road someone has been [...]
Whiney Babes!
Friday, July 22nd, 2005Ugh! The girls have been so whiney lately. Not exactly sure what the problem is. I only know that it is making me crazy. Maybe it is the humidity, maybe teething, maybe terrible twos, maybe not being able to go out and play. Whatever it is, I say UGH!
I [...]
Bug Sucking
Thursday, July 21st, 2005BugZooka: ooo, Annie would love this! You suck up insects with it and they get put in a see-through chamber until you blow them out somewhere else (or, presumably, leave them in there to die).
Madeline is 3 months old!
Wednesday, July 20th, 2005I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. She is growing up so fast! She is such a wonderful addition to our family. She is now cooing and talking up a storm. She loves to watch Annie and Kimberly play. I am sure she is ready to get up [...]
Back Home
Monday, July 18th, 2005I am very glad to be back home. I had a wonderful time and got 26 scrapbook pages done, but I missed my babies. I thought of them often when I was gone. (Of course, I was looking at tons of cute pics of them!) They are such a wonderful part [...]
Madeline’s First Movie
Saturday, July 16th, 2005Here’s a movie we took of Madeline a few weeks ago. It’s not the most exciting movie, but it features a cute little infant that can mostly hold up its head and a supporting cast of two cats. If you can hold out through to the end, you’ll get to hear her coo a little [...]
A Different Kind of Weekend
Saturday, July 16th, 2005Sandi is up at a cabin near Show Low, Arizona for the entire weekend. She took Madeline, of course, because I don’t do lactation. She went with her cousin Michelle and some of Michelle’s friends for a weekend of scrapbooking. That means that me and The Girls have had to fend for ourselves.
Luckily, I am [...]
More Bathtime Surprises
Wednesday, July 13th, 2005Tonight after bath, which Kimberly voluntarily got out of without a peep, I asked Kimberly whether she wanted the pink or the purple lotion (those are the colors of the bottles).
She said, definitively, “Pink!”
I said, “Oh, you want the pink lotion?”
She replied, “I like it.”
For the second night in a row, I was flabbergasted. She [...]
In Annie News
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005Annie also was especially cute tonight. During dinner, she was power-chowing pork-fried rice—she ate every last drop of rice in her bowl. As a special treat, Sandi prepared some chocolate pudding. Annie, too, loved that. In fact, she loved it so much that she saved just enough to create a thin pudding film on every [...]
Melted Heart
Tuesday, July 12th, 2005Tonight I was giving The Girls a bath like I do every night and it was the usual mixture of enforcing discipline and having a good time. I’m not terribly strict in the bath tub: they can splash all they want (heck, I squirt water on the ceiling and call it rain), they can nearly [...]
Don’t tell me!!!!
Monday, July 11th, 2005When you see me and my 3 daughters please do not tell me that I am headed for trouble once they are teenagers. This is very offensive to me on many levels.
First you are telling me, since I have never hear anyone tell this to a mother of 3 sons, that somehow [...]
Who are you?
Sunday, July 10th, 2005I know that we have a lot of readers out there. Some we know and some we do not. I am pleased to share glimpses into my family’s life, but often I am curious about you. Who are you? Why do you come to my site?
I visit many other sites of [...]
Sleeping Baby
Saturday, July 9th, 2005Here’s a picture of Madeline sleeping in her crib. I know all babies are cute when they’re asleep—and I know you know it too—but I still can’t get over it every time I see one of mine asleep.
This morning, Kimberly woke up crying at 6 am but Annie was still asleep. Annie was face down, [...]
Great deal on Diapers!
Friday, July 8th, 2005Today a co-worker of Bill’s told him about a great deal on diapers from Amazon.com. Basically if you buy $100 worth of Huggies you get a $50 rebate!!!
I just bought 3 cases of size 4 and 1 case of size 2! Love to find great deals!
Permanent Scholarship
Tuesday, July 5th, 2005Woman Has URL Tattooed to Forehead for $10,000: she did this to get money to send her son to private school. I’m sure that this particular action will have zero effects on her son’s life or perspective. Nope, none at all.
