Porter and his bubbles

I was making dinner last night with Porter in his litle chair on the counter watching me. He started fussing, so I gave him a handful of bubbles and let him play! By the way, you can hear in the video why we call Porter "Brother Bear".

Say adios to all of my hard work

Ok- some may call me crazy, but I have decided that it is time to redecorate the girls' room. I know, three times in two years is a bit much, but I found the perfect bedding on clearance- CLEARANCE- and had to get it. Stay tuned for new pics of their new bigger-girl room! Watch out Porter- your room is next...

This is Halloween!!!

It's not exactly October, but I just can't wait any longer!! Happy Halloween everyone!

A little look

I just finished this page of Porter right after he was born. I've been working on it for nearly five days now (these kids just won't leave me alone!).

What happens when you stick your tongue out at Mom?

Need I say more?

A pink kind of rant...

I have nothing against the color, in fact, pink was my own personal favorite crayon for as long as I can remember. But enough with the pink already! Since Adi was a year old, it has been her color of choice, and Piper has joined that blush-colored fan club. Everything must be pink- shirts, skirts, panties, socks, shoes, backpacks, plates, forks, cups, stools, carseats, bedding, walls, notebooks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, they even told me they want a PINK CAR! Of course, when you buy a 2-pack of something, only one thing is actually pink, while the other item is *gasp* purple. I end up having to purchase two twin packs of toothbrushes or underwear or utensils so that a bloodbath doesn't erupt between big sister and little sister. ENOUGH WITH THE PINK ALREADY! I am tired of pink... how about a little yellow or blue, my goodness, I would be happy with purple! Evn Rylee is starting to ask for pink everything (luckily she doesn't exactly know what pink looks like, yet). Thank goodnes I have a little boy who will hopefully bring different colors into out house...

Poor little ballerina...

Just a quick little note before I got flip some hotcakes...

I took Pipes to the doctor yesterday and they cut off her cast (which completely terrified her- I have the claw marks in my neck to prove it), and then promptly put a new one on. The x-rays revealed that the fracture is worst then they originally thought, it starts about halfway down her tibia and cuts diagonally down to her ankle. It goes through her growth plate, but the Doc said that it shouldn't be a problem since her plate is still in alignment. So she has to wear the cast for another MONTH. Poor Pipes, for the past weekeverytime she says her prayers she asks for "the doctor can take off my cast so I can dance forever and ever and run super fast again." When they started putting the cast on her, she was crying her eyes out, saying, "I don't want the cast on! I don't want the cast on, I want to dance! Please Mommy, please!" Talk about getting your heart ripped out of your chest! Needless to say, I've been spoiling her rotten! The problem now is to keep her from walking on the cast...

A quick post...

Just wanted to show my family this pic I'm having framed & hung up on my wall for all who enter mi casa to see. Nanny Jo said that even though kids can't read the rules, having them displayed will remind them of them(hopefully that works for husbands too ;). So I am hoping this works!

My little sweetheart

My little Adi is doing so well in preschool- she knows a, b and c! She knows what sounds they make and everything! What would I do without my super helper? SHe is always more than willing to do things for me and her little gimpy sister. She skips around, scheming what kind of tricky thing she can do next- whether it is climbing up the five foot-tall filing cabinent (that she has alreading cut her head open on) or doing some kind of crazy craft she dreamed-up. Adi loves to watch Porter, help clan and cook and is always ready to make me laugh when I'm feeling down! Keep flying, butterfly!

Rice cereal, anyone?

Nope, not a big fan of the big-boy food... yet. Give him time, or at least until he discovers fruit :)

*Oh, and I saw my little spelling error, so there's no need to point it out, Dad. I already fixed it in the original!

Another creation....

Here's another page I did today with all my new digi scrap stuff (did I mention that I love doing this?) For those who wish to see my new short 'do- well you can't really, but this is probably as close as it will get!

You like me, you really like me...

Ok, so I'm not Sally Fields and the award isn't exactly an Oscar, but still- it means a lot to a humble first-time blogger. Thanks Tangie for the credit!

I now bestow this award on five other bloggers who deserve more than I do:

1)Emily- Your page is rockin' and fun, and, after all, you did get me started in this!

2)Whit- Even with your busy nursing-school schedule you still find the time to blog!

3)Lindy- My partner in digi-scrapping crime!

4)Momma Nae- I really enjoy your stories and quotes!

5)Kayla- For always having something interesting posted... and I love the "clean" feel of your blog.

***I forgot to credit Roberta Ferguson who started this oh-so-wonderful award! And I forgot to explain that everyne who recieves this award is to take it and pass it on to 5 other Rockin' Girl Bloggers who deserve it!!****

Sorry, sorry...

I've been working on some digi scrapbooking (what they say is true- it really is completely addictive!), and have been ignoring my blogging. Since a few people have called me on it- here are some adorable videos of my precocious children:

Adi is hamming it up as Penny from Hairspray.

Piper belting it out.

I'm not sure, and I could be completely crazy, but I do believe that Mr. Porter is saying, "Mama." You tell me...

No News...

A wasted trip out to Casa Grande... after driving over an hour to get there, we spent ten minutes in the office before we were sent back out and told to come back next week. Just glad my little Pips is keeping an upbeat attitude about the whole thing!

You be the judge...

Everyone keeps asking me who Porter looks more like- Adi or Piper. So you be the judge... be sure to tell me what you think!








Pretty close call, huh?

I am having a ball with the free trial Photoshop that I downloaded- I just can't stop scrapping (I am buying Adobe from Costco next week)! Once again, I am singing Tangie's praises- everything but the pics were from her.. I can't wait to spend some money at her store!
