The laugh :)

Finally Better

Oh thank Goodness Arianna is finally better and can stop the darn albeterol. I have a love/hate relationship with that med. I helps quickly but boy oh boy it took my daughter away and gave me a MONSTER for 2 days.!!! She even developed this crazy annoying laugh while on the med--it was hilarious. Well it wasn't that funny when she started it at 5 am this morning. I could tell that even layed back KIKI (Brayden) was losing his patience with his crazy drugged up sister.


Hey Y'all I'm back !!!!!!!!!!!!

But I am still a little silly ..............

and have my crazy laugh .................

and funny faces..........


But overall I am back to my sweet self !!! :)

Meeting the Goats

This is Angelikas "do not take my picture look"

Mom... you are so dead

Fall on my parents farm

My nanny with me and the twins

My handsome Taylor

These goats are pretty cool

They tell me I am the cutest one -what do you think ??

Hey uncle ...do you see what I see??

They were in complete awe of the baby goats

We will call this one " Mark getting his exercise " - -LOL

The twins meeting the goats

Rough Day

Wow-- today has been rough for the twins. It started out yesterday with Arianna having a allergy attack. Now today her attack progressed to full blown wheezing. So that resulted in a trip to the doctor and a perscription for steriods . Steriods = serious hyperness which means Brayden has taken alot of beatings from her today. As sweet as Arianna is ,when she is sick she gets very aggressive !!

This is how they finally fell asleep :)



Maybe tomorrow will be better !!!!

FAVORITE FOTO FRIDAY

My beautiful kiddos :)

WATCH MOM

Hey mom , wanna see my latest trick ??

watch this - I can single handed flip this handle up

I can even do it with my eyes closed

they are still closed

Are you impressed yet ?

So mom what do you think ?? Are you really proud ??

One thing that is so important yet so simple (that I need to remember to do more of) is PRAISE MY KIDS . At such a young age they seek out our approval . All they need to hear "good job" and they are happy . Some vocalize the need to hear it all the time . In my case its both of my boys . Especially Brayden .... all day he is saying "watch mom" . And I just need to take that second out of my day to say good job. Its simple but means so much to them. (although after the 20th time today , I wonder if its still necessary :) or after taylor has wacked my ankle for the 20th time while I am watching his skateboard tricks :) In those moments I do wonder if there is a limit of times we have to say it in a day -- what do you think -- LOL !!!

A bit of everything

Angelikas Perm
Angelika finally got a perm -- she is so excited and I think it looks so cute !! Remember your first perm !!?? Mine was done in the 80's and it was horrible ... I looked like I was electocuted !!

Good Morning Sunshine

Mom I just woke up

so no flashes yet

But I will give you a good morning smile !!!

PS Tomorrow I will post about what Braydens "accomplishments" are when Arianna is getting her beauty sleep -- she requires WAY more sleep then him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So today I brought the twins to to get some munchkins. They are usually a favorite for both of them . Well not today. A few months ago I brought them there and Brayden was eating his and suddenly told me "mom ...CHOKE" . He thought he was choking so he panicked. Well today was the first time I had been there since then so I was kinda wondering if Brayden would remember ... thinking probably not . So I offered him one and at first he said "Shh -- nigh nigh " and went on to pretend he was sleeping. Then the second time he said "No - I choke. It is just amazing how much they really do remember !!!!

Also a shout out to Tessa (aka baby sister #2) who was released from PGN !!!!

Simple Pleasures of Life

Having little ones brings out the simple pleasures of life... like grass

Here mom , take time to smell the flowers ... I mean weeds

Then you will be happy like us

I LOVE them in red -- its my favorite !!

I can't believe you won't carry me




Your making me walk soooooo far

This is her pouty face cause I won't carry her ... I know I am mean :)



Yep..... she' s still devastated
Everything is a road to Brayden these days .... his favorite is driving his cars on me :)

Ms.Bossy

Poor Brayden , women are never happy !! First she pushes him away then tells him to come back !!

PS Arianna calls Brayden "KIKI"

Arianna Reading

Arianna is always bringing me books to read ... if I am to busy she just "reads" them to herself . :)

MUSIC TO MOTION .......starring Angelika

Angelika learned this at school -- isn't it BEAUTIFUL !!
