My Beautiful Daughters

We're back in town now, and trying to get back into the swing of things!

More pictures and post's to come, bare with me! :)

Wordfull Wednesday

Where have I been?

Busy!

Sidetracked. Every time I'd sit down to blog, I'd get lost on other websites.

Not to mention, this new computer chair (aka..an extra dining room chair) is not a seat that should be sat on for long periods of time.

Nothing new going on in our licensing process. Boo.

However, I have been busy praying & gathering up info. on Foster Care for May! (FC Awareness Month).

Letters, they are rocking my world and keeping me up late.

Kids, who have decided that they don't take naps anymore.

Ugh....yes. It's awful. We have quiet time...but it's just not the same!

Mr. still has long hours.

But we are very excited that our mini vacation is four days away! We are ALL in need of getting away for a few days.

Which leads me to my wordless Wednesday picture!

My girls standing out looking at the rain and playing I-SPY today.

It's been raining for a few days now...

ps- love middle sisters way-to-small bathing suit :) she is ready for vacation as well!

Middle Sister,

You love to be called HUGE! Actually, you love everything to be huge. Yourself, your clothes, your toys, and every night at bedtime you have to have two to three HUGE hugs and HUGE kisses. You are two years old, and your favorite color is blue. If it's blue-you want it, you don't care what it is.

You love your little sister. Which is weird, because we all thought you would have a hard time adjusting to her (aka- dislike her). But it's the opposite, your obsessed. If she is awake, you are right there with her. Within an inch of her....literally. You have your own baby voice you talk to her in, and I'm pretty sure you think she is blind, because you don't want to talk to her unless your so close that your noses touch :)

I love the way you say her name. Your voice is deep & raspy...and you say it very loud and drawn out, but so serious! When she cries, you tell her it's okay and not to cry. If she cries or fusses for "too long", you come and tell me to "feed little sister yours boob" so she will stop.

You are a Dora fanatic. You love to dress up. If I let you dress yourself to go somewhere, you would come out of your room wearing a shirt and sweater of some sort. Panties (if we are lucky), but no pants. Mix matched socks and sandals on.

Your favorite song is "How he loves us". One day we were driving somewhere & I was listening to a song on the radio. After it was done, you said "Mom, I wanna listen to my song!" I said "Ok...what is your song?" Even though I knew. You said "you know!" So I turned on How he Loves us, and waited for my favorite part. The chorus, because you get really really loud and sing "he yoves us! ooohhhhh how he yoves us! ohhh how he yyyooovveess!"

It's pretty cute.

Today, you called big sister's Nintendo DS, a "D-E-E-E-E-E-E-S", and you really thought that's what it was called.

You love....ME.

You are a mama's girl, and you have been from the start :)

I love how I can't sit down anywhere without your climbing all over me to get on my lap.

I love how you bang on my door when I'm getting dressed and call me shar-yay.

I love your HUGE hugs and kisses.

I love that you go to bed "like a big girl" now, but it makes me sad sometimes when you tell me that you don't want me to lay with you or sing you any songs.

I love how you want to be just like your older sister.

Before her soccer games every week, you and her talk about how your going to be her "team" next year. You like to say that you are her team.

You both have bunk beds now, and the only place you want to sleep is on the top, with your big sister.

You want to say everything she says and do everything she does.

I love how you look out for her, and there is no way that I can give you a drink or snack without you asking for one for your big sister too.

You love silly bands.

Especially blue ones.

You love animals, and saying your numbers in Spanish, just like Dora.

You love to read and be read to.

We could cuddle on the couch with a stack of books for hours and you would love it.

I think it's funny how you make me read the same book over and over and over again.

It makes me proud when you tell me what everything on the page is.

You are spunky.

You are fearless.

For a little bit, I was having a hard time getting you to stay buckled in your car seat. You kept unbuckling yourself. One day you did that, and we were on a very busy road which made me even more nervous. So I pulled over to a gas station, took you out of the car and told you to walk home. So what did you do?

You started walking right for the road!

You didn't care one bit.

You love pretzels, goldfish, apples, and candy.

You like it when I put makeup on you for fun, especially "lipstick".

Your bangs are currently chopped very short and crooked.

Your aunt gave you gum, and you got it in your hair.

It was really bad, I ended up having to cut it out.

But, the short choppy bangs kind of fit you.

You remind your daddy and I of Edith from Despicable Me, and Ramona from Ramona & Beezus.

You make us laugh, hard.

Your pretty great- HUGE baby chunka monka.

{a name she likes to go by. every month she seems to add something onto it)

You are smart- and I believe you are going to go very far in life, if you use your wisdom to make much of God. You are only three tiny years old. You love that you are the oldest sister. You constantly tell me that I'm the best mom, and how much you love me...except when your mad at me. Then you tell me I'm mean, or that I'm being a bully. But you pronounce it...buwwy. You got your first pair of glasses today, and I think you looked pretty darn cute. Your dad said he is going to teach you how to play chess. I guess he thinks you look like a chess player with glasses. After having your glasses for five hours, they broke. I'm not sure how, but you blamed it on middle sister, I'm not sure if she did it or not. We took a ride in the wagon today with middle sister and your cousin. We walked to the park. There was a little boy there who wanted to play with the wagon...so you spent a good amount of time pulling around a four year old boy in the wagon and running on the playground. For some reason when we walk home, you always want to get out of the wagon and walk with me....and you always ask me to get out at the very same spot each time.

Tonight you had a cheeseburger happy meal, you made me take the pickles off, and your are now asleep with the toy that came in it. At church this afternoon you colored a picture for me, it was pink. You ran into the nursery that I was working in saying "look mom! i made you a picture!" I love that picture. I kept it, I keep everything you and your sister make.

Yesterday you had your second soccer practice/game. Daddy got to come, and we were so very proud of our super soccer girl. You don't get a hold of the ball very much because you are very very busy waving at your daddy and I and blowing us kisses. I sometimes ignore them and tell you to get the ball, but then I remember that one day you won't do that anymore...so for now, you can stand in the middle of the court and blow me kisses all day. Who cares about the ball anyway. The one time that you did get the ball, we told you to kick it...and you did! Right to ME! It made my night.

I love that you want to wake up your sister to play with you if she naps longer than you do. I love how you tell me every time you make little sister laugh. I love that you repeat everything I say. You are learning how to do puzzles, we could lay on the floor making puzzles for hours before you get bored. I love how much you love your dad, and how much he loves you. You have a special bond with him, and I love it. I love that you guys play video games together, even though they are "bad for you". He taught you how to shoot zombies in a cartoon zombie game. You don't know what a zombie really is. But I think it's funny that when your aunt meme asked you what you named your toy cat, you said his name was Zombie.

In church you love to dance during praise and worship. You want to go to your grandma's house (either of them) all the time. You like shoes, and you are excited about Christmas already. Whenever a toy commercial comes on, you say "mommmy mommmy! look look! can I get this for Christmas?" I say yes so that you will stop asking. Little do you know, your not getting anything that the TV has shown for Christmas...except the "hungry hungry hippos" game.

Today you told me that you don't have any friends. But you do, you have many...so you asked me to tell you about them. So I named all the ones I could think of. I wonder why you thought you didn't friends. When we were driving up the bridge to go to church, you said "look, we're going up! Like the tall mountain (off Dora). " When we got to the top, you told me. I think you are very clever, and you even knew that the bridge was not really a tall mountain.

You call your daddy's job a "work job". You ask him everyday, "daddy are you going to your work job? " It is cute. One time daddy got hit in the eye with a rod, and he told you about it. So now before he goes to work, you tell him to be careful of the mean guy with a pole who will hit him in the eye. I love it when you hug your sister and tell her you love her. I love it when you tell her she is beautiful. You told us at soccer the other night, that you don't run fast enough. But you do, and I told you that you ran super fast, that you are a super soccer girl. You love super hero's, and telling you that helped.

Your hair is long and fine, and never stays neat. I want to cut it, your dad says no. I think we might do it and surprise him anyway. He's not the one with hair in his face, is he? He actually has no hair...maybe that's why he wants you to keep yours :)

I love you, my sweet girl. By the way, you say your own name wrong, you think your first name is your middle name, and your middle name your first...but thats my fault for calling you by your middle name. You rock...my little superhero.

Wordless Wednesday (on thursday!)

Almost Wordless Wednesday

These smiles are priceless...



(even the cry...)


She plays hard- what can I say?


Playing "baseball" with her golf club



Today was a good day- and a not so good day. A happy and blah day. If that's even possible.

Things that made it a good day:
-Waking up to three beautiful, healthy girls.
-Enjoying time with friends at the park this morning.
-Having food & water.
-Getting a nap.
-Getting to see my mom.
-Finding out that three things we thought were in the way of adoption, are actually not.
-Having my husband home at decent time.
-Enjoying a hot shower.
-Spent time with the Lord.
-Having alone time with little sister.

Things that made it a not-so-good day:
-Middle sister running away from me in the parking lot-heading straight for traffic....laughing all the way...until I cought up with her ;)
-Dragging home two hot, sweaty, dirty, cranky, whiney kids home.
-My moms good intentions- turned out to be more of a burden.
-Not being able to get anything accomplished today in my very very messy house.
-Messing up dinner.
-Not having an iron for hubbies work shirts.
-Negativity.
-Having alone time with little sister....at 2am.

So I guess it was more of a good day, even though it doesnt feel like it. Tomorrow is a new day! I cant wait! Now if I can only get to sleep....
