halle noticed tom's adam's apple...she calls it an elbow, it sorta looks like that, and there's no way she wants to believe it is called an adam's apple, that just sounds rediculous to her, she pointed to her neck tonight and told tom, i have an elbow here too.

not as fun with mom!
we took halle on the alpine slide....when we got to the bottom, i had gone so slow that the cart stoped before it hit the tire, which was at the very end, when halle realized this , she realized daddy had gone a lot faster and made this face, i'm so happy the picture caught it, haha, we really had a fun time, when i showed halle the picture later, she couldn't remember why she had been upset and said, "i think the sun was in my eyes"
bear and cubs
this was a fun drive through the park, we saw tons of deer and this bear with her cubs, it was a one way road, so we let the girls take turns riding on toms lap and "driving"....fun trip!
picnic in the mountains!
we miss UT!! we miss the mountains being close!! this is the big smoky mountains in TN, sooo beautiful, can't wait till next year when kiera is old enough to take camping in a tent!!
kiki driving!!
kiera's favorite ride, she loves sitting on our lap to drive in parking lots, this was a dream come true!
B.O.!
when you push the button, a mist of stinky B.O. smell came out of the can....you know the distinct oniony nasty smell i'm talking about....dollywood is like a redneck version of disney world....still just as fun, but a little on the trashy side!
kiera and the potty
kiera loves to use the potty, especially if halle goes, she has to go, she loves thinking she is in charge...today i asked her how old she was, she held up her whole hand and said, "four"....anyways, i always think its cute to see her little body on the pot, but with the boots...it was rediculous!
copy cat!
saw these on jens craft blog site and made them for the girls...it was fun and easy to do. thanks for the idea jen!
stomping in the puddles!
its been raining for a week, plenty of puddles, its still pretty hot out, so its really fun to play in!! the girls love any chance to wear their rain boots!

ear rings!!
halle has been trying to convince me for awhile that if i let her sleep in underware she wouldn't wet them, but since she always wet her diaper i didn't believe her....i finally said that if she did potty train at night i would get her ears peirced...sure enough, she's kept her underware dry every night
she was sooo excited, i told her it hurt and she said she didn't care....she's really tough and rarely cries, so i knew she would be fine....sure enough, she hardly flinched and is sooo happy to show them off and tell people that she didn't even cry....
she's been good about helping me remember to clean them 3 times a day...we can't wait till we hit 6 weeks and can change them!
yee haww!
this is kiera's yee haww, halle was just sitting in the grass, minding her own business and kiera jumped on her back and started yelling "yee haww, yeee hawww!" kiera cracks us up

kiki and halle
-at the chic fila playyard a 2 year old pushed kiera, halle shouted in her face, don't push my baby sister! and kiera kept saying "NO, NO, PUSH!!!" over and over again in the girls face, in her, what we call, "evil voice" (this low, raspy, scary voice kiki uses when she's angry)...both girls just stayed right in this child's face like they were going to jump her, halle looked back at me to see if i was watching them, i winked, nodded and gave her the thumbs up...no one messes with a garrett girl...
halle's favorite ride at disney, "peterpan ride" when i asked why, "i liked being in a flying boat"...halle really thought the boat was flying, since she couldn't see that they were hooked to the ceiling...no wonder we did that ride 4 times!
-Kiera's latest, she likes to hold your hand and take you somewhere to show you something, she says, "m-on" (come-on) "m-on, look, look, see it, see it"
-Halle, "mom, i would like to go to outter space. Would that be so cute to see me and kiera in ostri-naut suits?"
-ruthie and halle are at toys r us making a note about every toy they want. Halle, "ruthie, santa clause will bring you that toy" ruthie (who's jewish), "who?"...halle, "santa"....ruthie, "who's santa?"....halle, puts her hand on each of ruthie's shoulders, stares her straight in the eye, and says in a shocked voice, "ruthie, SANTA CLAUSE!...(then in a slow, articulate, are you retarded voice) SAN-TA CLAUSE...HE COMES AT CHRISTMAS AND LEAVES PRESENTS!!!!!!"
halle to ruthie, "the food goes in your mouth, down some tubes and out your butt"
halle's friend gave her a packet of seeds..halle, "mom, i would love to plant these marigolds around our house"....i looked at the packet and sure enough they were marigolds...apparently halle says her church teacher taught them what marigolds were...halle, "mom, i want to learn all the names of the flowers" .....we started working on it
kiki: is learning a lot of short phrases, "where passy go?"....there it is....find it...see it....i want ___
she also knows pink and purple and calls most letters H, since that is what halle writes everywhere and points out on things, she loves to sing and sings very loud, if anyone is sitting on the floor with an exposed back, kiera will hop on from behind and yell, yeee hawww, yeee hawwww!! last week at church during the prayer halle leaned forward and kiera jumped on and started yelling "yeee hawww, yeee hawww!" and of course, halle and her (and me and tom) started cracking up!
tom, "halle, hang on to my arm and i'll swing you down this flight of stairs"..halle, "no, daddy, i'm not going to do that, it sounds very dangerous"
we went to gatlinburg, TN over the weekend...halle came up with "gatlin-booger" which was funny and then of course her parrot, kiki, was saying it too
we told halle to teach kiera to pray, its super cute, halle says a line, like "thank you for our family" and kiera yells out the last word "family"
