Guess Who's Three....

Myla turned three last week. It is so weird to watch her grow up so fast! She used to be such a little chunk and now she has grown so tall and thin she doesn't even look like the same little girl at all!

Chris had to work on her birthday so we let her open her presents before he left. We gave her a doll house and as soon as she opened up the little dolls for it she didn't want to open the other presents. She would have been content to play with just them all day long. Good thing she has a little sister who loves to open presents Ava made short work of them for her.


Myla lives for birthday's it doesn't matter if it is her own or not. She sings the happy birthday song all year round. I can't light smelly candles in my house anymore because if Myla finds them she will start singing and always blow them out!
She was in heaven with everyone singing to her and blowing out her candles :)

I didn't get very many pictures of her birthday because it was kind of a rough day. It started out with the neighbors dog chomping one of our kittens the poor thing can't put weight on it's back foot :( Then we went to pick out Myla's balloons and she fell out of the shopping cart on her head!!! This picture kind of shows the lump and bruise but it doesn't do it justice at all.

What an awful thing to happen especially on her birthday. She was pretty upset the rest of the day so I didn't want to make her pose for pictures to much.

Myla we love you and hope that you had a good birthday and next year we will stay away from shopping carts!!!!!!!

Myla's Photo Shoot

I have been taking a photography class for a few weeks now. Last Saturday we had our first photo shoot. I only took Myla because it is just too hard being the Mommy and the Photographer. It was also freezing so please ignore Myla's ugly jacket she really had on a cute outfit under it. Also this is only my first try so don't judge me to hard. Here are a few of my favorites:

When ever Myla sees a camera she screams runs in circles and starts to cry so I am pretty lucky to have got any shots of her not screaming. I can't wait to go out again with both of my girls this time (I think I will bring Chris and he can be the Daddy while I take the pictures).My teacher is going to be giving more classes.

Fatty Fatty 2 by 4 Can't Fit Through the Bathroom Door

So lately I have been feeling like THIS:

I know gross!!! To fix this problem I have started doing this again:
I started this morning and let's just say I have never felt my bum jiggle like that before :0
If you see me coming down the road it is best if you avert your eyes other wise you might start having nightmares about "THE BLOB" coming after you!

Recipe

Here is the recipe for you Ashley:
Strawberry Syrup

1 lb. Strawberries

1 tbsp. Orange Juice

1 cup Sugar

Blend everything together in a blender or food processor.

Then simmer for 15-18 min. (stir it a lot or it will burn)

I usually a least double the recipe because trust me you will want extra. It can also be used as jam it is so yummy!

Good luck let me know if you have any questions :)

Does any one know a good carpet cleaner ?

We started the potty training thing again I mark this as attempt #3. I think she is really ready this time. She comes and tells me when she needs to go but then she just sits there holding it. Sometimes she holds it so bad that she shakes and cries. I think she is scared to let it go. I don't know I could be doing this completely wrong and permanently damaging the child or maybe this is normal. She has made it to the potty on time but mostly it has been almost on time! :/

I came down stairs to check on her and this is how I found her. Wearing her high heals and talking on the phone. (I don't know where she learned that I never talk on the phone when I pee!)

She is so funny she not only has to have her princess potty but she also has to have her Lightening McQueen potty on top. I guess it is just to hard to pick just one.

I guess I will just keep trying with her. I am really getting tired of cleaning up messes so if you have any amazing secrets please tell me!!!!!

Our 'Egg'stravaganza

On Friday night we colored eggs. I didn't know if Myla would like it or not but she loved it!
Then on Saturday we went over to Katie's house for a little egg hunt.

Thanks Aunt Katie we had a lot of fun!

All of last week Ava had been sick. She got SIX new teeth four of them were molars. Then on top of that she got the flu. Saturday she was finally acting like she felt better just in time for Easter !

I think that our family did something to piss off the Easter Bunny. I know that we ran over a jack rabbit not to long ago and Chris likes to go rabbit hunting. I didn't know that the Easter Bunny kept a naughty and a nice list! I think we made it on the naughty list this year because he brought Myla the flu and Ava a strange rash!!!!!

This is what my girls were supposed to wake up to. Instead Myla was puking and Ava had red blotches all over. (You can't see them very well in the pictures) All Myla wanted to do was lay down she didn't even look at the new wagon. The poor little thing!

Later that day the girls were acting like they felt a little better so we took them outside to take pictures and a quick wagon ride.

As soon as we got back Myla got even more sick and puked all over her Easter dress or her Princess dress is what she calls it. She was so upset that she couldn't wear her dress the rest of the day. She looked so sad so we let her hold the kittens and that cheered her up a little.

Hopefully next year will go better and maybe I won't let Chris go bunny hunting anymore so we can get on the 'good list'.

I didn't forget about you :)

Happy super late Birthday!
