this is the only picture i got of grandma when she came to visit, she made cookies with halle! grandma bought halle a camera, i'm hoping that halle got some pictures of grandma on it...the day after this picture, i got my tonils out so i never got more pictures of grandma with the girls :(

dress up clothes
i bought this armoire off craigslist, i painted the outside and halle painted the inside. it holds our dress up clothes collection. its gotten to the point, with over 50 dresses, that i wonder who is more into this, me or halle....
all, except a couple, of the dresses came from yard sales or the goodwill, so i cannot resist buying them, as well as ballet outfits and tutus. the girls love it and its great when freinds come over, there is plenty for everyone!
this picture doesn't even show what was in the drawers, tons of shoes and more dresses!
so happy
kiera's favorite dress. she is so happy when i put this on her, its so akward , but she loves it, which is weird because she usually loves to just be in her diaper!
talking on the phone
kiki loves to hold the phone with her shoulder, like me, and walk around the house talking, of course, grandma is the only one willing to talk to her! she's such a little me, i love it!
Princess bathroom!
this is the girls cute princess bathroom, they love it and all halle's friends are jealous, which makes me feel like mom of the year (which i can use right now, considering halle broke her toes on my watch)
showing off the boot
this is the boot we decorated. halle started crawling on saturday. she told me her knees were "bleeding" because they were so sore. i cut up some socks for her to put over her knees. yestarday, after a week and half , she finally started limping, but it made her muscles sore, i think, because today she was back to crawling.
happy valentine's day
tom bought this cake and jewlry for halle for valentine' s day. we put candles and ballerina' s on it to make up for the fact that she broke her toes. it really cheered her up!
makeup
the girls LOVE to put on make up. they are pretty good about staying in the bathroom with it, so i let them do it, if i need a minute to do something....this is what happens if i leave them unsupervised for longer then a minute.
kisses
this is my attempt at getting the a cute pic of the girls kissing tom...kiera is totally a daddy's girl, but burst into tears when she can't have the camera.
silly faces
kiera tried to imitate everything halle does, she even crawled quite a bit since halle was crawling with her broken toes. this is kiera trying to copy halle's face, but was laughing to much to get it right. kiera also echos whatever halle says. its fun to ask halle a series of questions and hear her answer and kiera echo.
matching!
Halle LOVES when her and kiera are matching. they have a few matching dresses that they wear often and its pretty cute! halle also decided that she should do her hair and kiera's hair everyday, which means put tons of clips in it, today i went and restocked their hair bag with tons of clips that she can do herself, she was sooo happy!
at the mall
this is another fav. family outtig to ride the merry go round at the mall....oh, to live in a city where there was more to do...oh, well, the girls liked it!
body glitter
with tickets you can actually buy body glitter at chucky cheese, halle rubbed this over her entire face and body and thought she looked beautiful covered in "sparkly diamonds"
all dressed up!
halle even made sure to match the purse to the dress for a classy trip to chucky cheese!
the wink
halle thinks its pretty cool to wink. she loves to tell when to take pictures of her, and this was one of those moments.
this is one of our many family outtings to chucky cheese, the girls love it and really love their refillable soda cups!
one of kiera' s fits
kiera threw a fit to sit on this bike, i thought it would be fun for her, but she was just too jealous of halle riding a bike and cried and cried till we took her out, yestarday, peggy gave us a 10 inch bike that i think she'll be able to ride if i lower the seat. we are waiting on halle' s toes to heal before we bike ride again, i know halle really misses it!
Halle' s new bike
halle got this bike back in dec. this is her first time in jeans, a tshirt, and sneakers, in almost a year....she made sure to tell me, jeans are for bike rides, dresses are for stores and playing, and then she changed as soon as we got home!

Halle's poor toes!
Haven't blogged in a while...can't find the camera battery to upload new pictures...hmmmm...where else can i look?
I was finally starting to get better from my tonsil stuff, the weather in GA is amazing 70ish degrees everyday, and we were loving it, but....saturday morning, v-day, halle was standing on the kitchen bench, it started to tip, knocked halle to the ground and then came crashing down on her toes, when i picked it up off her, it was so heavy, i knew whatever it hit was broke, i scooped her up, set her on the couch, put on my shoes and a sweatshirt and headed straight to the ER, halle screamed bloody murder the whole way, and halle is not what i would call a drama queen, so i had never heard her scream like that. luckily, the hospital is 10/15 minutes away...(our second trip to the ER in one week, ahhhh!!)
the ER took us straight to the kids unit, we had given halle tylenol before we left, it kicked in, halle stoped crying, she was a perfect angel for xrays and tons of different nurses coming in the room to see her, they even gave her a pig stuffed animal, halle doesn't get attached to things easily, but still sleeps with "knuckles" every night. She was talking and laughing with me, even told me that it stoped hurting alittle, but i knew it was broke, and i was right, she broke the first and second toe. a nurse came in and cleaned it, she asked halle if she was hurting her, halle said yes, but would have never complained on her own, halle still hasn't complained one bit, shes such a sweetheart. halle said, "yes, it hurts and your hands are berry, berry cold!" then halle turned to me, "mom, you know what we forgot to do before we left the house? Put on our makeup"
they wrapped it up, then brought in a blue boot. the man asked halle if she liked the boot. halle said, "no, its a boy boot". of course, as soon as we got home, we decorated it in glitter glue, and diamonds, can' t wait to post pictures, its pretty amazing, halle loves it! the hospital staff asked halle quite a few times how this happened (i'm sure this is standard to weed out child abuse) halle got sick of telling the same story, so finally said, " a magic bench flew in my kitchen and landed on my toes"....haha...my story definetly started to sound suspicious!
we got home, halle never complained, but every 4 hours , like a clock, even through the night, asked for more medicine. the first time, she was eating mac and cheese, i think the onset of pain caught her by surprise, she said, "mom, these noodles are going straight through my body, down to my toe and making it hurt"
the dr. said it would throb at night, halle slept in bed with me, she moaned and woke up, but still has not cried about it, shes such a trooper, i would totally be crying about it!
she almost cried about missing church, it had to stay elevated for 48 hours, i promised she would go next week. i have taken her out everyday this week in hopes of her not getting too bored sitting around the house. i put her in the wagon, with her foot on a pillow. she wanted her foot on a pillow all week. today i finally convinced her to just sit in the stroller when we went out. we went to storytimes, museum, mcdonalds, ect. she likes the attention she is getting, i'm glad she is getting it! halle and kiki have stayed happy, i wish this had not had happened so close to my tonsillectomy because we have already spent so much time sitting around and watching cartoons and playing with toys in my bed, but the girls don't mind, they are happy. I feel soooo grateful that she only broke her toes and had a clean break, this could have been worse if it fell on her foot. it has still been a long week of carrying her around and being on call day and night for her every need. i had taken for granted how independent she had become. she used to get up in the morning, throw out her pull up and get dressed from head to toe, hair done, clothes, shoes, makeup, accessories. and of course, a princess cannot lay around in pjs, she still wants me to dress her in a dress everyday! today she started crawling around the house a little bit and taking back some of her jobs, like getting dressed and undressed. the dr. said after about 10 days she could limp on it, halle is scared to death to have anything touch her foot, esp the ground, so i don't know when she will realize that she can limp on it. kiera has been surprisingly uninterested in her foot, well, everytime she even looks at it, i say, no-no, don't touch. today halle said, "mama, i will show her how to touch my toes, i will teach her", then halle took kiera's hand and let her softly touch her foot, it was really sweet.
the girls are dealing with the insanity of boredom better then me...i'm just sorta exhausted, as i feel like i could have used one more week of good sleep to recover from my surgery, oh well, at least we'll be back to normal soon enough! at least i have tons of toys, so i can keep a steady stream of different toys coming to halle and kiki, and they are things they can do on their laps. we play dr a lot now with our ace bandages, and today me and halle held a jump rope, aka, long peice of tape, for kiera to jump and then go under. kiera is like are very own puppy dog that will follow all sorts of crazy commands! i am happy that i have such happy, silly girls to stay up beat and keep me going!
"ohhhhhhh, kiki" (me and halle say this a lot during the day, at all the crazy stuff kiki does!)
kiki has decided that she gets an adrenaline rush jumping from the ottoman to the couch, which is really a dive and ends in a belly flop on the couch. and she does it over and over again.
kiki took her diaper off and got in the empty bath tub and pooped, then when i was giving halle her bath, she jumped in with her diaper on!
kiki has become a little parrot and repeats everything you say, and ask her to say, halle enjoys teaching her new words, which kiki repeats back, then halle gets excited. some of kiki's words are clear but others are garbled, which is funny to us , because we are starting to memorize them and use them, for example, "bet-chup": ketchup, which if she sees , she must have!
kiki says "hi" and waves to everyone she sees when we go out!
some of kiki's new words this week are:
Poggy (peggy), teef (teeth), mouf (mouth), trees, house, owl, ruby (max and ruby, we've watched a lot of tv this week), Kilan (another show), eeemo (elmo), town ("all through the town"), rella (cindrella), prince, ovvve-ouuu (love you), ewwww (points to poop), bas (bath), baks (books), puzzle, bubbles, wa-er (water), nake (snake), amel (camel, and then i taught her to spit)

Kiera: 18 months today!
Today kiera is 18 months old. She is so much fun at this age! she understands everything we tell her and listens some of the time. She is feisty and full of energy! she is very happy and easy going, but is also strong willed and will throw a fit if she doesn't get her way or if you are not understanding her. She loves to laugh a deep, low giggle that is soo cute! she LOVES to play dress up and will bring you a dress and push it into you and grunt, which means, put this on me, then she accessorizes with jewlrey, tiara, high heels, etc.! she also loves to look at books, play with barbies or polly pockets, and get in the bassinet and pretend she's a baby and suck on baby doll bottles. she loves to play with halle and they get along great. kiera understands taking turns and what mine means. they both understand that they can't take things from each other until they set it down (although kiera will take things from other kids,she respects halle). she loves playlands and anything dangerous. she has little fear which makes playgrounds and bounce houses really fun for her! she loves to eat and will eat just about anything we put on her plate. she loves to point to each of us in the family and tell us our names..daddy, mama/mommy, halle. we think kiera is pretty smart, she is talking a lot (if we compare her to halle, who could speak in sentences and knew a few hundred words by this age, then it doesn't seem like she is talking a lot, but if she was my first, then i would think she was doing pretty well).....
some of her words are: cat, meow, meow, daddy home, mine, no, duck, dog, woof, woof, white (snow white, this is one of her favorite words), rella (cinderella), belle , beast (beauty and the beast), eyes, nose, ears, ball, baba, show (tv show), go (i want to leave), night (good night), bye, cheese, meat, balls (peas), fish, shoes, bird, baby, phone, hello, hi, uh-oh, uh-huh, eat, barbie, co-co, horse, Ruthie, book.
we love our little kiki doodles so much, she adds a spark to our family and keeps us on our toes!

the saga continues....
this post will have TMI, but for some reason, i'm still gunna post it...
saturday i felt great, i was up alittle, eating more and my energy was coming back...then my incision site started bleeding , i called the dr. he said gargle with ice water and try to get it to stop, if it doesn't in 15 min. then go the hospital. well it stoped and he told me to lay in bed all day. the next day, i felt pretty good again. around 1 , i started bleeding again, this time, a lot! i was gargling with cold water and spiting it back out, spitting out blood with water, makes it look like twice as much blood is pouring out of your mouth. i was in the bathroom doing this, halle watching, and i was starting to get scared because i could feel tons more blood pouring down my throat. i finally choked out the words, "go get daddy" to halle, which she did. she is luckily to young to be scared and doesn't even know what blood is. after 15 min. i called my neighbor to come over so tom could take me to the hospital. it took her about 15 min. to get there, so after about a half our of bleeding, i ended up throwing up a blood clot that looked like a child's kidney. it really freaked me out. luckily, halle was excited to see our neighbor and her daughter, halle's freind. kiera was luckily asleep. we went to the hospital, my bleeding stoped on the way, but all the blood in my stomach, made me throw up, i was holding a pretty large empty cup and filled it up, it looked like a horror film , and totally freaked me out. i just held it all the way the ER and every time i looked down at it, i yelled to tom, "i think i'm gunna die!!!". we got to the waiting room, waited awhile and then went in a room to wait for the ENT to get there. as soon as he got there, he said, we needed to go to the OR, put me back under, and cauterize the bleed. i was really depressed about that, but was happy my girls were safe and happy. peggy came to relieve my neighbor. after sugery, tom went back home to put the girls to sleep. peggy came to the hospital to see how i was doing. i was absolutly miserable, so she told me she would stay the night with me and i was so happy i didn't want to be alone and be so uncomfortable. i was shivering from the anestesia but the shivering was making me really hot, and they had stuck a suction down my throat to suck all the blood out of my stomach,but i still felt nauseus...it was a miserable evening, but eventually i fell asleep and made it to the morning. the next day and today, i have felt pretty good, just very tired. my pain level is very mild, but i have thrush on my tongue now from taking liquid antibiotics. its very uncomfortable and makes eating irritating. i'm getting medicine for that today, hopefully it works quickly, so i can eat more and gets some of my energy back. the doctor told me to lay in bed for the next few days so i don't bleed again. the dr. said that bleeding like this is very rare, so for it to happen again would be really rare, but i am taking it very easy because i really don't want this to happen again. i just want to be better so bad. I miss playing with my girls so much. i miss talking to them in more then mumbles and i really miss laughing, which has been impossible for over a week now! I miss putting my babies to sleep and taking care of them. they are luckily doing great and are understanding of me being in bed all the time.
thankfully i have some really great freinds that are coming over in shifts this weeks to help take care of me and the kids! and i have some great freinds that are bringing me dinner, well, the family dinner this week, i'm still on jello and soup!

my kiddos
my kiddos are so amazing. they have been so understanding of my being a total blob on the bed and talking in a creepy voice without moving my jaw. i am soooo starving all the time, but i can only eat in little increments and have lost my appitite, so i forget to eat at all sometime...halle can hear my stomach growling when she is playing with me, today she said, "i heard you stomach say, 'i'm hungry'"
halle was in heaven with grandma spoiling her by buying her new skirts with matching shirts, today i told her she could "match or mix" (a line from a barbie book about getting dressed) halle was so excited to start trying on different combinations. to get really into the moment she came up to me and said, "excuse me , ma'm, do you work here?", i said , yes. she said, "do you have a dressing room I can use", i said yes and pointed to a corner behind the couch. she went over came back to me, "that dressing room has a bug in it , do you have another one?'
so, i pointed to another corner. shes so silly, and was right about the bug!
kiki is talking a lot more these days, its really fun to hear her personality come out more and more. she loves the princesses , especially snow white, whom, she calls, "white", one of her favorite words! she also loves to go in the bathroom and start pulling off her pants, saying, "baaa, baaaa" for bath.
she loves to go to night, night when she's tired and tells everyone, "bye" and "night"
now that tom has been putting kiera to sleep, we realized he's better at it then me. i can hear her laughing at all his stories and songs. when he lays her down i hear him say night , night and she always says, "night" back. when he leaves sometimes she calls out, "daddy!" our monitor is also like a walkie talkie and tom gets on it and says, lay down and go to sleep kiki. and she actually listens to him, i never would have thought that would have worked!
tom decided to move kiera's high chair the other direction and closer to the living room so she could watch her cartoons in the morning while she ate. now when kiki is hungry she moves her high chair, and crawls up inside it, sits down and yells out "Eeeeettt, eeeeettt!" its sooo funny!
kiki loves when we say , smile with your eyes closed. she does it and its so cute!
kiki loves dress up clothes. she brings us clothes all the time to put on her. she loves when i turn on music, her signature move, is getting on her toes and pivoting on one foot in a circle.
her favorite book is cinderella. she likes dora, "dowa"
she likes the toy cars in nursery, something we don't have at home.
halle told her friend, "my mom can't talk, she had her tonsils out, she can only go, mmm, mmm"
halle imitated my mumbled grunts without moving her jaw, it was pretty accurate.
i'm grateful that i have good freinds to help me through this recovery. peggy has made me dinner and is making me soup tomarrow and bringing the fam dinner next week. she took halle to the bounce house on friday and then came over friday evening while tom worked to make my kids and me dinner, cleaned my kitchen , loaded the dishwasher, took out all my garbages, and wore out the kids for bed time! she has offered any help i need next week any time!!
tonight tom got called to work, my freind sara came over to help get my kids ready for bed. i felt sick to my stomach so i was really boreing all evening and sara came and cheered up the girls and got them dressed and ready. and, tom's coworker brought me ice cream, yummy! other friends have offered dinners and help, so maybe i'll take them up on it next week!

tom decided to move kiera's high chair the other direction and closer to the living room so she could watch her cartoons in the morning while she ate. now when kiki is hungry she moves her high chair, and crawls up inside it, sits down and yells out "Eeeeettt, eeeeettt!" its sooo funny!
kiki loves when we say , smile with your eyes closed. she does it and its so cute!
kiki loves dress up clothes. she brings us clothes all the time to put on her. she loves when i turn on music, her signature move, is getting on her toes and pivoting on one foot in a circle.
her favorite book is cinderella. she likes dora, "dowa"
she likes the toy cars in nursery, something we don't have at home.
halle told her friend, "my mom can't talk, she had her tonsils out, she can only go, mmm, mmm"
halle imitated my mumbled grunts without moving her jaw, it was pretty accurate.
i'm grateful that i have good freinds to help me through this recovery. peggy has made me dinner and is making me soup tomarrow and bringing the fam dinner next week. she took halle to the bounce house on friday and then came over friday evening while tom worked to make my kids and me dinner, cleaned my kitchen , loaded the dishwasher, took out all my garbages, and wore out the kids for bed time! she has offered any help i need next week any time!!
tonight tom got called to work, my freind sara came over to help get my kids ready for bed. i felt sick to my stomach so i was really boreing all evening and sara came and cheered up the girls and got them dressed and ready. and, tom's coworker brought me ice cream, yummy! other friends have offered dinners and help, so maybe i'll take them up on it next week!

The tonsils are out!
Monday I finally got my tonsils out, after 10 years of problems, i finally did it!
On Friday tom's mom came from AZ to help out. We had a great weekend. since Tom's bday was wednesday, she bought him the Wii early and we played all weekend! it was a blast and a great way to get my mind off my surgery. I played till my muscles were totally fatigued and sore, haha, i was really good at tennis, whiched totally freaked tom out that i could actually beat him. can't wait till i can get playing again! any recommendations on games we should get?
on monday morning , karen took me to the hospital. i was home about 3 hours later. with the drugs from surgery still running through me, i was in very little pain and thought recovery was going to be a peice of cake. then the pain meds made me sooo sick, i couldn't take them all night. tom called the next morning and they finally called in tylenol with codein for me. but it had been so long since i had taken anything, i could barely swallow any of it. something i hadn't expected was that my throat would totally swell up, it felt like it was the size of a pin hole and i was gagging and choking and gasping for breath, plus , i know this is TMI, but my throat totally filled up with gunk, i don't know what is back there since my jaw is still stuck shut, but there is some nasty stuff going on back there. i am easily grossed out so this was really hard for me. that night i finally asked tom to take me the hospital because i couldn't swallow any pain meds, and i felt like i was gunna die, so i thought i could just get an IV of meds. tom called the doctor and he told tom to play the bad guy and force the meds down me. i was crying and crying when tom told me that,but i swallowed little tiny sips, it took me like a half hour to swallow a couple tbs. then tom set his alarm for every 4 hours during the night so i would never skip a dose. oh, and they finally thought to tell me to put cold ice rags on my throat to reduce swelling, wish they had told me that earlier, it helped a ton. by the next day i was doing so much better. the swelling had gone down enough so i could eat some soup. the meds are not that strong, but they take the edge off. tom called today to ask them to call in something a little stronger, which they are going to do, now that i can eat alittle , they won't make me so sick.
i have been lying in bed mostly, but i can also get up and sit on the couch and play alittle bit with the girls. but the girls did great through all of this which has made me be able to relax. karen was amazing, i'm so glad she came out here. halle loved all the attention and new clothes and toys. she loved having someone give her everything she wanted and listening to her motor mouth. kiera loved grandma too. she is talking a lot now. i layed in bed upstairs and left my door open, so the girls could come in when ever and get on the bed with me and watch cartoon or look at books with me or just play in the room. but usually they just liked playing with grandma and dad. kiera totally accepted the fact that i wasn't doing a lot and she was sooo happy and cute, but when she needs something she asks tom. even if she is watching tv snuggled up with me. as soon as tom comes in the room she gets up and gives him her blanket, which mean, put me to bed. karen laid with halle every night till she feel asleep, cand met all her princess demands. karen also did 100 loads of laundry, cleaned, cooked, spoon fed me jello, kept cold rags on my neck, striped all the beds and washed sheets, changed diapers, did baths, meals, bottles, everything!! it was amazing to have her here!! she will be missed and the girls will be thrilled to see her kelly again at disneyworld this april!!
halle is glad that i can talk quietly again, so i am i, i really missed talking. i still can't move my jaw at all, so my talking is mumbled and quiet, but at least its better then writting messages for the first few days.
its supposed to take 2-3 weeks to get back to normal, so i am glad that everyday i am feeling a lot better. i am always starving and thristy. my stomach has shrunk to the size of a golf ball, so even though i can eat some soft food now, i can only eat a few bits. fast food commercials leave me drooling. i've lost a 6lbs in days, but i knew that was gunna happen so the weekend before the surgery, i totally stuffed my face with all my favorite foods, a weekend to remember!
well, i hope all this was worth it and i get less sore throats from now on...the dr. said they were some of the worst tonsils hes seen and were "cryptic and infected" ...gross!!

random stuff!
~Tom is on a bball league in town, its a tournament in town where the churches play against each other, go team LDS. we went to watch them last night, kiera yelled , DAAAYEEE, DAAAYEEE, it was really cute. halle kept saying oh, shoot the black team got a point, or i dont' want the black team to win. yes, they had on black jerserys, but i was still hoping the people around us did not think she was referring to the fact that the whole team was actually black. i kept saying things like go purple team, (tom's team's jerseys) to try to balence her out. they won the game, it was fun to watch!
~halle was pooping in a stall, i was trying to occupy kiera in the bathroom, i peeked in to check on halle and she said, "shut the door, someone' s in here!"
~halle always wakes me up and tells me she is starving. this morning, i said, i would check my email and then take her down for breakfast, she said ok. a few minutes later she came up behind me at the computer and said, "mama, i told you i was hungry" .."i know, just one sec"...then she holds up a peeled banana in my face and says, "you didn't know i could do this, did you?" she was so proud that she had gone downstairs, gotten her stool , got the banana and peeled it herself, she told tom as soon as he got home from work.
~i got my hair trimmed a few inches, it had gotten really long, so it still is really long, but when i came home, halle said, "i told you not to do it, i told you!" the next day i did my hair, came out of the bathroom and said, halle how do you like my hair, she looked at it and said, "it will grow" halle is convinced, due to her princess obssession that only rediculoulsy long hair is beautiful.
~me, "halle, did they ask you if you wanted to say a prayer in your church class?" ...halle, "yes, i said, 'no thank you"
~halle is so thrilled about being a sunbeam she tells every one, at stores , other moms, its soo cute
~halle pronounces the v like a b, so , i love you berry much. so the other day she said river, but it sounded like riber
i said, you sound like a frog, so then she started laughing saying it more frog like, riber, riber and everytime she wants to get a laugh out of me or tom, she does it and we laugh, well now she goes up to random strangers and other moms and says, "listen to this, riber , riber" and they don't know what she is doing or why halle thinks thats funny. it makes halle look like a really weird kid, but it still makes me laugh.
~kiera is silly as usual. we were in halles room and kept hearing from the hall a crash and then giggles, crash, giggles and we looked out to see kiera had put a nightgown over her face so she couldn't see and was trying to walk down the hall and everytime she crashed into something or the wall she laughed. slowly the lights are turning on in that girls head, but certainly not all of them are on yet.
~halle told the sister missionary, "seriously...i love you"
~at the museum the old folks home was having a feild trip to the animal show. kiera and halle were putting on a more entertaining show for the elderly women who were totally loving it. halle was asking all the women their names and telling them all about herself. the lady in charge gave me her card and asked me to bring the girls in one day to have them put on their "show" for the old ladies. i think we'll do that one of these days as halle would love some grandma attention, kiera is a goof ball for anyone who will watch, and the old ladies would love how sweet halle is.
~kiera's favorite word (besides ba-ba, her beloved bottle) is lately "mine" she'll say it to kids at story time even if they are sitting there minding there own business. at mcdonalds they each got a pony and a hairbrush. halle wanted kiera's hairbrush so bad. i just kept saying ask her to switch, but when halle did, kiera would hold it up to her ear, in her fist, and say, "no, mine!" for the rest of the day and the next day kiera loved that halle wanted that brush and held onto it saying mine, mine over and over. it was pretty funny.

more halle!
I am writing down the funny stuff halle says so i don't forget it.
in the bathroom at church i told halle to try to poop. she said, "mama, i don't want to get the church potties dirty!"
i told halle to put on a pair of pants and a shirt so we could go to the store, "mama, people will think i'm a boy if i wear that" (and she put on a dress)
halle said that kiera wasn't pretty today. i told her that wasn't nice. she said, well, she's wearing pants, she looks pretty in dresses. i said, do i look pretty today. halle said, "ummmm, you look handsome"
halle told her cousin over the phone, "i like things that are pretty and daddy likes things that are cool."
i told halle i need her help teaching kiera how to talk and learn her animals. at the pet store, halle thought it was hilarious to teach kiera the wrong animal noises for the pets we were looking at and of course, kiera does whatever halle does.

quotes of the week!
halle, 'mama , for daddy's birthday, lets get boy candles, blue ones and put a bike on his cake"
today we bought tom a magazine at the store, halle assumed it was an early bday present. "we can give him this at his party and all the children will bring him presents"
halle, "mama, kiera always makes all the other babies cry" (refering to kiera being a baby bully at play groups and the train table at the barnes and noble)
halle, "mama, sometimes when kiera hugs me, she bites me"
halle was standing by the church doors, well i ran back to the car to get something. "mama, shouldn't someone be watching me!"
we have been listening to the primary songs and i told halle she will learn them now that she is a sunbeam. tom came in the room and started dancing/shaking his butt to the music. halle was totally disturbed. "daddy, these are sunbeam songs, not kaboose songs!"
kiera is sooo upset that she didn't get a bike. she knows she can't ride the tricycle, but she tries and gets frustrated (just a few more months/inches and she'll be fine, halle could do it by a year and half) but in the mean time, she is totally distraught over halle riding a bike and not her. we went up to our playground to go riding. we barrowed a kids 4 wheeler dora car from ruthie, for kiera to keep her distracted from halle. on the way out the door halle says, "mama, can we bring the dora car for kiera so she doesn't freak out this time"
halle imitating me telling kiera to get something out of her mouth, "no mouth, kiki, no mouth! Seriously, kiera, NO MOUTH!"
i can hear halle in the next room saying, "no biting, no biting", i run in the room and see halle with her finger in kiera's mouth. "halle, if you stick your fingers in her mouth, she will bite"
halle, "but she just put something in her mouth and i was trying to get it out"
kiki speaks a line of russian (babbling) in halle's face. "don't say that, kiera, thats rude!"
we have started to read the book of mormon that grandma sent halle for xmas (its the softback with a few pictures in the front). before we read, we go through the pictures together. halle stared at Moroni's old, weathered face and said, "mama, he looks a little mean"
KIERA'S QUOTES:
kiera put popcorn kernals in her mouth and i didn't see, so i said, kiera what's in your mouth?. she spit out 4 seeds in her hand and came to hand them to me saying, "ball, ball"
when the garage door opens, me and halle always yell, DADDY'S HOME! kiera hears it now and tries to join in, "daaayeeee, ome"

beater eater
we had a lot of fun at christmas time this year. luckily everyone was basically healthy, tom and the girls had pink eye for a few days, i had a sore throat (but what else is new). and kiera's nose will probably be alittle runny all winter, so, basically healthy and defenintly happy! we made tons of cookies and popcorn and other yummy treats. the girls really got into opening presents which made it fun. everything halle opened that had two of something inside she said that one was for kiera, which was sweet, since kiera had her own set of presents. we stayed in our pjs most of the day and relaxed on christmas. we went to a friends house on xmas eve and had a great time!! i got a treamill to burn off all my holiday goodies and tom got a mountain bike which he has been wanting since i've known him!
halle was so thrilled about her helmet , that i ended up getting her a barbie bike off of craigs list this week. she loves it and we go every day!! i will post pictures of her on her bike soon. she is really good at it! and actually was ok about wearing pants and sneakers to ride it (only because the dress got caught in the wheels and she got a blister from wearing dress shoes riding the first time). so, i actually had to get her a couple pairs of pants and shirts, since she didn't really have any and took pictures since it is the first time in almost a year she has worn pants. halle, "mama, i'll wear pants for riding, but dresses for going to the store"
make sure you click on older posts, i did a lot of posts tonight!!
beater eaters
there is a flickr group that collects pictures of people eating off beaters. they have asked me if they could use previous pictures of the girls eating beaters, i took this for them!
kiki
kiera tried so hard to roll out the dough, she loves to imitate halle! look how long her hair is getting!
my little helper!
halle loves to be my little helper. she did such a good job folding these towels for my drawer, i could hardly believe i hadn't asked her to do it months ago. some of halle's jobs that she likes to do are:
gather her and kiera' s dirty clothes up in the morning (PJs) and after baths and put them in her laundry basket. tell me when the basket is full and put them in the washer and then after i put in soap, she knows which buttons to press. load the forks and spoons into the dishwasher, and when they are clean put them in the right drawer. change kiera's diaper, with my help, and put on kiera's diaper cream. this is one of the jobs halle has come up with lately, i wish she would have thought of it earlier, because kiera lays perfectly still for halle and throws a fit for me. putting the velcro straps on kiera's shoes (some jobs are pointless, but halle likes it). halle loves to make her bed, sweep, help me mop and vaccuum, and i hand her the groceries and tell her whether to put it in the pantry, fridge or freezer. halle even got kiera to put her dish in the sink when she finishes eating. kiera can only reach high enough to set it on the counter in front of the sink, but halle watches and then tips it over into the sink when kiera is done. oh , and halle loves to keep a glass full of ice water for me on the counter. She will also hang up her dresses and my shirts, but this one, she has to be in the mood for. its really all more cute then it is actually "helpful" because it takes her longer then if i just did it, but its starting to show potential. also, besides the things i listed, halle is a mess and is selective about what chores she likes!
PS. those towels are actually clean...that dang chocolate soy milk stains everything!!
christmas party
had a christmas party one evening before xmas. let the kids make ginger bread houses. the kids had a lot of fun. i preassembled the houses so they just put on the candy!!
