Blah!

I don't really have anything super exciting to blog about. I've been very busy this week getting Evy's Tea Party ready. Why a Tea Party, you ask? The answer is: because I'm crazy! And because Evy is really into the Fancy Nancy Books. If you know anything about Fancy Nancy, then you know that she loves all things girly, frilly, french and tea parties. So one night Evy and I were reading Fancy Nancy's, How to throw a Tea Party book. Evy asked is she could have a tea party and I said, "Why Not?" (famous last words). Well this Tea Party has turned into 13, 5 year old's coming over tomorrow. And I feel a ton of pressure to get everything just right. This is what I have so far:




I still have got loads to do tomorrow. Hopefully everything will turn out and Evy will be happy. I know the decorations are good because Roy walked through the door and hated it. What a boy? He said that because he hated it, it would be perfect. What kind of logic is that?

Here's some random pictures of Audrey looking stoned. For some reason, I can't get her to keep her eyes open. I have yet to be able to figure out my camera! I don't know how to get it to work the way I want it to. Maybe I will have to actually read the manual. But who wants to read a camera manual, when I have my other books where a good majority of them include some ridiculously handsome character? Maybe one day I will get to the camera manual, but until then you will have to put up with blurry, stoned pictures of Audrey.



And here's some pics of my jewelry setup. I had a client come by to check it out. How come that just by looking at all of the jewelry together makes me happy? I think it's because it's so pretty! I have a party coming up next week, so wish me luck!







And I just noticed that my pictures are all sideways, but I'm to tired to fix it. So in the meantime.......tilt your head and you'll see it right!:)..............................I need a vacation!

Sweet!

Before I went to bed I went to check on Evy, like I do every night. When I went in there, I saw that she had her dolls and her bear, Ariel Rainbow (she came up with that name all on her own), all tucked in around her. I just thought it was so precious and sweet!

Audrey's Words

In the past few days Audrey's vocabulary has just come alive. The other night she asked me for a "book peeees". It seriously melted my heart. Here are some of the other words she says:
Mama
Dada
Good Night "Nigh Nigh
Bye "Buh Bye"
Snack "Nack"
Please "Peees"
Thank You "Shank u"
Book "Book"

I'm just loving her to death! And Evy is doing great too! We've whipped out the good 'ole rewards chart to see if that will help her behave better. And today she did really well. This is a picture of me and the kiddos reading a book before bed. When being a Mom, there are good days and bad days. Today I think was a good day and I'm loving being a Mom! Tomorrow may be different.

Merry Christmas!

We had my parents and my grandparents over for Christmas Eve! We had a blast. My Mom even made us dress up and do the Nativity Story. I still remember when I did it as a child!

Audrey looked hilarious as a shepherd and Evy was a beautiful Mary!

Thanks Mom an Dad for a fun night!




Here's a video of the kiddos doing a dance for us:

Here's another one from Christmas morning:

And for your enjoyment, some random pics from Christmas morning.

Christmas School Show

Evy's school had a Christmas program. Roy wasn't able to make it, but my Mom, Grandma, Audrey and me were able to make it. I took an insane amount of video for Roy. This is one of Evy's favorite Christmas songs!

Audrey's First Hair Cut!

I finally gave in and decided to get Audrey a hair cut! The mullet was out of control. I kind of got teary eye, like I did with Evy. I just knew that the hair that she was cutting was the hair that I rubbed my face on when she was an infant...it pulled at my little heart strings. Well, I got over it, and I love her cute little bob. She was very good. And got quite attached to a slinky they had laying around!





Here's the finished product:

I know it's not the best shot, but trust me, it's cute! I guess she's not a baby anymore, but a toddler!

New Camera!

I'm so excited! What's this excitement for, you ask? A new camera! Roy and I finally got a new camera to replace our old, dead one. Finally I will be able to take pictures of the kids and hopefully do some more blogging! Thanks Oma and Pa for the fabulous Christmas presents! I took some random pictures of the kids and the Christmas Tree! The camera shoots super fast and I love it! And best of all, it's a pretty plum color! HoHoHoHoHo Merry Christmas!





Don't ask me what kind of face Audrey is making. And on another note......you may notice Roy's very long hair in the picture. He will not cut his hair and it's killing me. So if you can, whoever reads this blog, call him and tell him to cut his hair before I do it in his sleep....I'm totally not joking!
