Some pics of the girls

We have been soo busy lately! But I managed to take a few pics this weekend. Here is one of Shelby, note the clean tile in the background! Yes, this rarely happens...it looks so nice :)

Then here is Lexi looking like she's a teenager on the phone!! She called Amber the other day and I went to check on her and there she was laying on the stairs talking up a storm!! Then I came back minutes later and she had the phone open and on speaker, she thinks she is pretty dang cool on the phone! I've created a monster.

Then tonight Lexi says "mom, kam is soo cute right now. she has her hands in her pockets, can I take her picture?" So Lexi is the photographer here with Kam. Silly girls!! I swear this scowl is permanent on Kam's face lately.

(oh! by the way...on Sunday ...the sun was out AND it snowed!!! crazy. I should blog about that more often!!!)

Snow or Spring: these are your choices!

I've never been one to HATE or LOVE winter. This season has always just been a part of my life. I haven't minded it too much, though its never been my favorite. I like it b/c its my birthday, Christmas, it means hot chocolate, snuggling, family time, snow!, and that my husband is home more. I don't like that it is COLD!! I do not like to bundle the kids in big coats, then try to fit them into their carseats, and I haven't seen the SUN in FOREVER!! So after paying my OUTRAGEOUS gas bill today...I have decided: either freaking snow, or bring on spring-time baby!! (that or a move down south would be nice)

So here is this beautiful warm picture with SUNSHINE...I hope you can enjoy it as much as me. Feel free to visit it often in the next couple of months. I will! :)

And until I can wear capri's...happy cold-freezing-cold-gray-cold Idaho winter!

(I can't remember it being this bad last year).

Trick Pony!!

My dad bought Kamree a spring horse for her bday...this has been the best gift! It's already been 2 1/2 months and the girls still love to ride it everyday. The song gets a little annoying, but it's so cute...so I was a good mom and replaced the batteries!

Kam's new thing is "Trick Pony!". We say "Trick Pony!" and she stands up and does these weird things...I can't believe I encourage it b/c surely she'll fall one of these days. She stands up on the back and raises her leg and continues to "ride" the pony.

Then here is a picture of our pretend playing today, can you guess? Yes, Lexi is Queen Melody. This is her thrown and she said "Queens are mean, so Im going to be a mean one". She made Kamree bring her crown to her on a step stool...while Lexi sat on her thrown, of course. (this is ALL her, I have no idea where she gets it from! - maybe too many princess movies)

Shelby is 5 months!!

Time is really flying by...Shelbs is already 5 months old. She is a better baby and happy more now that we've found out she's allergic to dairy. A bottle has its pros, lets just say Mike's getting his share of feedings :).

Shelby squeals and babbles, its fun. Today she's been grabbing her toes...I love it. If you notice in the pictures, shes holding her binky. This is a game to her to take it out and put it back in. It can be frustrating cuz she drops it. I need to get a binky holder.

Shelby weighed in at a wopping 14pds. (this is nothing compared to her tank cousin Mckoy) :)

She is growing good though.

Thanks for listening to me brag about my children! That's what blogs are for right? :)

Pictures of the girls

Here is Lexi posing AGAIN! This is all she does: "mom get the camera and take a picture of me". She was trying on her new clothes I got at the Old Navy clearance sale.

And here is beautiful Kamree!! hehe

She went with Mike today to the office and this is what she wore! and to top it off...look at that hair! She is on this new kick "mom leave it long" referring to her hair. So in nursery yesterday she had it down, yes... in the FACE all day! :) silly girl

When Lexi was younger we'd say "no crying, no whining" and she'd always repeat it. Well now Kamree is saying it and has added one "no fighting". So she walks around saying "no fightn, no cryn, no whinin" she also says "i not cryn mom" when she wants something. Hillarious!

My BARGAINS for the week!

I hit good deals this week! Here are some pictures of my awesome stock!

I just love to look at my filled up closet. Makes me happy :)

I stocked up on Pampers Diapers and Wipes at Albertsons. The had a way good deal going on.

My diapers ended up being $3.30 a pack. I bought 9 packs of diapers (40 ct) . I got 6 things of wipes (231 count) for 89cents each! (Too bad there can't be deal like this for formula!)

I was on a high all week, very happy about my stash!

Then I hit some more good deals at K-Mart. I got most this stuff for free or under $1.

Thanks Emily for all the fun and helping me out!

WHAT? more presents??

My Dad came and stayed the weekend with us. He brought the girls their Christmas presents. They didn't know what to think getting presents again. It was fun...spreading Christmas out. Kam got a cute changing table and cradle for her babies. She loves baby stuff. Lexi got the petshop house she's been asking for. She only wanted two things for Christmas: petshop house and a star for our tree. She got them both, just in January! (hey I got a good deal on the star after Christmas!)

My Dad was telling us how his foot had been acting up again and was hurting. (he'd had surgery on it a while ago.) So Lexi offered a pedicure to make it feel better. This girl loves this stuff! So we got it all set up and Grandpa really enjoyed himself!! :)

My Dad made us dinner and it was yummy! Lexi wouldn't leave him alone for one second, resulting in her sleeping on the floor next to his bed!

We all went swimming on Saturday. It was fun for the girls to play in the pool.

We had a good time, but I am sure my Dad was ready to be back to his quiet house!
