Here Kitty Kitty

Do you remember Elmyra from Looney Tunes and her cat Furball (I loved that show)

Well we have two Elmyra's and two Furball's at our house.

When you look at these pictures imagine my children are saying: I will love and I will squeeze you and I will make you my very own!

We told my Grandpa Jim that we could have one of there kittens. Well Grandpa drove three hours and brought two kittens so how do you tell him sorry only one please.
Ava's favorite way to hold them is squeezing them by the neck!

Myla's favorite thing to do is hug them as hard as she can!


These kittens are definitely not being neglected, mauled maybe but definitely not neglected!

Welcome to the family Tom and Ruby :)

Myla has made it to the ripe old age of FOUR!!!!! She is very proud of this and tells every one from the grocery store clerk to the random person walking down the road :)

We took the girls bowling for her birthday since it was so cold outside. They loved it and both of them wanted NO help from Mom and Dad.

Our cheering section. They were so funny every time Chris or I bowled they would scream and cheer for us.

Daddy helping Myla
This is about as close as Ava would let you get to her when it was her turn. She wanted to do it all by herself.

in between turns Ava had fun entertaining herself by blowing her hair around with the hand blower.

We tried to let Myla roll the ball instead of using the ramp and she walked up put the ball down and kicked it as hard as she could.

I didn't get very many pictures of her party. we were too busy eating cake and opening presents. Thanks to everyone who came she got spoiled rotten!



I have to put this picture up of Myla she looks so stinking funny!!!!

We love you Boogs and are so happy to have you in our family!

Bippy Booby Dance

Myla had her first dance dress rehearsal last week. She will be performing 'Cinderella.' Her age group is dancing the Bippity Boppity Boo dance. It is so funny to try to hear Myla say the name of her dance. The first time she tried to tell me the name of it she said it was the Bippy Booby dance. You better believe I made her dance it for me as soon as we got home just to make sure it wasn't what I thought it was!




She got to wear real makeup for her rehearsal and every day since she has begged me to put some on her again.
Myla is turning 4 on May 4Th and it doesn't seem real to me that she is that old yet!
We love you Myla.

but what else...

This post might make more sense to mothers with little girls who have watched the Swan Princess way more times then they want to admit.

This morning when I was dressing Myla for school I put her in a dress that she had not been able to wear yet because it was so cold outside. She was so excited to show her dress to her teacher at school. This is how are conversation followed after putting the dress on...

Me: Myla you look so beautiful in your dress.
Myla: but what else...
Me: What do you mean?
Myla: but what else... he he he
Me: What do you mean?
Myla: Is beauty all that matters to you? he he he

Wow she is only three years old!
She sure thought that she was something funny!
I am impressed that she put the movie quote and her beautiful dress together, but wow she is going to be a handful.


Love ya Myla :)

Storage

We are very quickly out growing this house, or maybe we have way to much junk! Either way we have no where to put things anymore.
We have been considering making one of these shelves in our garage for a while but just never got around to it.
I guess Chris finally got sick of his messy garage because one day he surprised me when he came home with the lumber and supplies. He made the shelves in just a few hours and then yesterday his brother Patrick came over to help him put them up.

I didn't take any before pictures so just picture a big mess!


Half way done

We told Myla this was her new bed. She got this really worried look and started to cry it was too funny :)

The finished product

We love it and I wish we would have done it sooner!
( Oh and Chris got me one of those hanging tennis ball things so I would stop smashing into everything)


I just had to put this picture in. The girls just love their Daddy so much!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Ava had her second birthday a couple of days ago. She got spoiled rotten and she loved every minute of it!

We started the day off early with opening presents. (Don't you love the bed head) Ava wanted a new bike. We were just going to pass down Myla's old tricycle to her, but Mommy may have accidentally ran over it last fall! (Don't worry the bike was not occupied at the time)

Myla had a very hard day and did not quite understand why she didn't get a new bike too.
After presents we went to the park next to our house to play and fly the girls new kite.

Ava trying out her new bike after she wrestled it away from Myla.

My Mom made the girls the most adorable wonder capes. They love them so much and won't take them off!!! Wonder capes do have one down side though the girls constantly ask for you to fly them around the house. They may not look very heavy, but after a few laps around the house your arms really start to feel the burn.

Happy Birthday Ava!!!!! We love you so very much! We are so happy we get to have you and your spunky little personality in our family :)
