TIME TO CATCH UP

Wow what a month it has been! We finally got moved and settled in. It feels nice not to have boxes every where. Nicole and Madison got the bigger room and they love it. There bed is now on a frame so its higher off the ground. The girls love that! For Christmas they got there new bedding. There room is now has ballerina stuff with purple high lights. It is very cute. I still need to get them a toy organizer/toy box. And we still need to get the play kitchen out of storage. I love my room. I am still working on it but for now I think its beautiful. I have been waiting a long time to get my bedding out. I am about to order this flower arrangement to go in the bed room. I think it will look real good. I have been real busy when the girls take a nap...Playing with my new scanner. Here are some wedding pictures that I have taken. I love weddings. During the day me and the girls have learning time.

NICOLE is doing a lot better with her abc. She can sing her abc and when she look at a letter she can reconise it. She will tell you the letter and the sound that it makes. She is now getting potty trained. Since we have started there has been only 2 accidents. And it has been over a week. She even will wake up from her nap to go potty. I think that she is doing very very good. She hates to wake up from nap time just to pee. She always end up on the coach after. She has a new ballerina dress...This one is just a little play one you get in the dress up aisle. But it is very cute and she loves it. She does ballet dances all over the place. I have a picture of me when I was little in my ballet outfit. She honestly think it is her. She tells me oh mommy look that is me the ballerina....I have to keep telling her that's mommy. Now I am tired so I just say ok it is you. We finally got the game memory. It has been so much fun playing with Nicole. She loves it! I need to give her more credit sometimes. I didn't think she was going to be able to play the game but she does, and she remembers where stuff is. Nicole is getting so big. I cant believe she going to be 3 soon. My little girl!

MADISON got her vaccines today. Poor little girl! First sister woke her up early in the hour of 5am...She normally sleeps in till about 7:30 and then cuddles me till about 8. But today she had to get up early not by choice and then go to the drs. I felt so bad. Madison favorite thing is the new beds. I made both beds real soft with feather toppings and egg crates. She loves to jump and jump and jump on the beds. Madison is doing real good with her letter sounds. She will repeat any thing I say and when we do flash cards she does a good job with naming the objects. She is so cute. We have watch American Idol the past couple days. She has always loved to sing but now....When she sings she gets real in to. She will close her eyes real soft and sing in a soft voice...Then she will close her eyes real tight and get in to her singing...She gets real loud and changes the tone and stuff. It is so cute. Between singing and playing her instruments she sure does know how to put on a show. She loves to drive her sister crazy. She will take something form sister and take off running then I have two girls running all over the place...Madison is just laughing so hard. She now is in love with the movie Nemo! And She loves listening to music. When they go down for a nap or bedtime I play classical music and if I forget no problem Madison will get out of bed to turn it on then she has to come get me and let me know. She has now gone in to the terrific two's. She thinks she is big, she thinks she is always right, she think she has to have her way all the time...But I love it...I love it. She is wonderful.

Stephen has been very busy at school. Tons and tons of reading and home work. He is doing real good in the nursing program. He will be starting his clinical next month going to the nursing home and ER. He is still working on campus. Hhmmm not much more going on. School keeps him real busy. For Christmas one of the things I got him was a dart game. He loves it. He will take breaks and play darts. A little fun is always good.

I am so lucky that I can stay home with the girls. I sure don't know how people do it. Clean house cook and go to work....I give you moms all credit who can do that. We went to sears and got family pictures taken. They turned out real cute. Madison does not like getting her picture taken at sears. She loves it when were home and she loves to play in the studio so I don't know why she gets upset when some one gets behind the camera in the studio. Silly she is silly. Nicole loves it. She would go every day if she could. I was going to add my pictures but I am having trouble uploading my pictures. I guess I am going to have to call customer service. aaahhh I hope I get them online.
I started some chili it is in the crock pot and I for got to get chili powder and smoke sausage from the store. So I can't finish cooking right now. Oh yeah and I need to get chips mmm I can't wait for dinner. Ok let see what else have gone on since the move? I am sure I will remember more later. I am going to add pictures later. I use a dial up and I don't want to wait to load the picture but I promise sometime next week I will have some pictures posted. ok that is it...my longest post every. hope you enjoyed...and there not a lot of errors in the message...My pc keeps messing up...and i have to restart. Now I got to go read some blogs.
