Goofy Girls
Another busy weekend but the girls did find time to play in the sprinkler. Emma and Myra stopped by for a while and Emma took this picture. Is there anything that Emma could ask them to do that they wouldn't?
Crazy life we live
So this morning the twins woke up and told me that they had homework for school and it was due today! They must write out their complete address. So, we get the paper and pencils out and start writing! Phoebe states, "I don't want to live in Texas, I want to live in Alaska!". I tell her about all the snow and cold there and how she would have to wear a hat, gloves and a scarf everyday. She then gives me her sad, pitiful look and states, "It's too hard for me to love you all the way to Alaska everyday.....I want to go with you to work in Alaska!"
To this, Chloe states, "Do what I do. I put a huggie and kissie in her lunch everyday, that way it is not so hard for me."
I recruit for a Hospital Group in Alaska. I sit in my pajamas, in my warm office and talk on the phone all day! I do not go to Alaska everyday, but my poor little girls think I fly to Alaska everyday to work AND it is just too much for them to send their love with me.
It was a wonderful way to start the day and I am still smiling about it!
Enjoy your life!!

A New Year Begins
Well the Holidays are over and a new year begins. Our Christmas was great and never ending. I think we did gift exchanges four days in a row trying to accomodate friends and families schedules. Papa came in from Arizona with his RV which is always a treat. Usually the girls are constantly wanting to go out to the RV because Papa always has candy. This go around we had so much sweet to eat in the house they did not have to go out to the RV to get their fix. Meme, my sister and her husband, Ed, made it in as well.
This year, the gifts from Meme and Papa were a big hit. They each purchased a Barbie ride-in car for the girls. These things are huge and I am considering adding on to the garage. If they had their way, the girls would cruise the entire neighborhood but we are trying to limit them to our yard and a treed lot across the street. A few days before christmas there were only a few presents under the tree and I thought we were going to have a modest Christmas - but boy I was wrong.
Christmas morning was a lot of fun. We could hear the girls awake in their room but they wouldn't come out of the room. We finally went to get them. When they did come out they said they had heard Santa and didn't want to come out because they were afraid that he might leave. I wonder what they heard and who gave them the idea that Santa would leave if they came out of the room if they heard him???
Here is short video we made about what they heard:
We celebrated the New Year in grand fashion. We stayed up just long enought to see the New Year come in and then went straight to sleep. I wonder if we are getting old?
Anyway, Happy New Year and may this one be better than all the others.
I o'Condeeos
So I driving Phoebe and Chloe home from school today listening to some music. Phoebe said "Play your favorite song, I o'condeeos". My replay was....What? After she repeated about five times I finally figured it out...Adios and vaya con Dios.
So here you go...
Blue Bonnets Galore
Today we went down the street to a local park and took some really great pictures in a field of blue bonnets. The kids had a great time and so did mom and dad.
You can see the pics here.
One Tired and Happy Kiddo
Last night was my last night alone with kids as Denise was returning on Sunday. We meet Stacy & Kelly and thier kids Jessie an Anthony for dinner and play. It was pretty late when we got home and Phoebe was thrilled to see Andy sleeping in her bed when we got home. I expected Andy to get up and move to another spot but he didn't so, Phoebe had a sleeping partner at least for a few hours.
The Miley Dance
Denise has been out of town for the past week for the second time in three weeks. On Tuesday I was at my wits end with work and trying to keep up with the girls. Thanksfully our very good friend kept the girls for a few night so I could have a break. Tonight, Friday, is movie night so I picked up the girls and we had a good dinner and then watched Hannah Montana The Movie.
At the end Miley Cyrus sings the song "The Climb" and while Dylan was too tired to move, Phoebe and Chloe on the other had were raring to go. The result is what I have named "The Miley Dance". Take a look at it here.
The video was the third shot because I messed up the first two and they still had this in them!!!
Going for a swim!
Our plans for a trip to Kingsland got put on hold today. So instead we went for breakfast at Chick-fil-A, we love the chicken box, and then for a swim in Bull Creek. The girls had a ton of fun. We went to a public park that is also an off leash dog park. You don't see many dogs in the pictures but htey were everywhere. Phoebe and Chloe love the dogs....Dylan, not so much.
The water wasn't deep nor running very fast but over the years it had cut a slide into the limestone that was very slippery. Lots of fun was had!
You can see the rest of the pictures here.
Check Out These New Pics
We just added the new pics of the girls from Halloween and Phoebe and Chloe playing dress up. When Phoebe and Chloe were playing dress up Dad and Dylan were at Wal-Mart trying to get a deal on a laptop computer and then we visited a friend's house that was having a garage sale.
Dylan and I missed out on the dress up fun but we also managed to have a lot of fun.
