Some funnies I don't want to forget...

The other day we were swimming and bubba started to sing his ABCs.  I got so excited because he has never spontaneously started singing them on his own, yet alone sing them all the way through.  When he was done and I was cheering with pride, Elliot grabs my arms, turns me towards her and proclaims "NO Momma, that's MY song!"

Just today....oh your gonna love this...I found the kids sitting on the toilet together with their feet in the water.  When I asked them what they were doing Elliot tells me that they are "playing hot tub"!

Yesterday Elliot had all her animals lined up and was playing zoo.  She decided to put a stage in front of them out of blankets so she could perform for them.  I hear her announce...."Ladies & Junglemen".  Not sure if this is confusion of vocabulary or if she is smarter then we know!

I've been meaning to write down all the things they are saying now because it is too funny sometimes but as you know I am a HORRIBLE journaler (and blogger lately).  So here are a few so I don't forget them...

Somescream=Sunscreen  (E)

Swimsoup=Swimsuit (E)

Tick, tick, tick, BOOM=??? (K)

Baeball-Baseball (K)

nocone=Snowcone (E&K)

Bunkie=Blankie (K)

Nemanade=Lemonade (K)

Wewie=Leslie (E&K)

Nina=Nana....looks like she is gonna be Nina instead! (E&K)

Kappy or Kafy=Kathy

Papertowl=toilet paper

Who talk?=Who are you talking to on the phone momma and not paying attention to us?

Of course I can't think of more when I actually sit down to write them out.  I will add more as I remember or hear them say it since we talk non-stop all the time now!

Here are some pics for you to catch up on...

Rockin' the new bangs...

Love this pic...

Loves her some sweets!

Love that they are mirroring each other here.

Nothing better than wet, grassy, summer feet

Playing in the sprinkler

She posed on her own for this!

Showing me her sad face.

I promise I did not stage these....all her!

1st slip-n-slide experience

Finally found something that matched!

I have this exact picture of me when I was little.

Best buds....usually

She loves the doggie ears.

Be back soon with pics from the 4th of July!

I'm Coming Back!

Wow....I didn't realize how badly I had neglected the 'ol blog.  I have so many stories to catch up on (moving to the hell that is toddler beds, easter with the cousins, school, swimming, potty training).  Maybe that is why I have felt like I have been losing my mind....because I haven't had my blog to vent to.  If you know me you know I always have good intentions of journaling for my kids but I slowly realized that I kept most of their memories on this blog.  Its also good to know that this blog holds me accountable to getting my camera out and using it!  

So for all of you that have wondered... I am still alive, the kids are great, Ryan is great and I promise I will be back on (hopefully) a more regular basis.  

For now, here are a few pictures to tide you over...

Prayers for my family

I ask for your prayers tonight for my family, especially my Aunt Barbara and cousins Kim, Kristi & Keri.  My uncle lost his battle with cancer and our hearts are breaking for their loss.  I can promise you this though, Heaven got a lot funnier tonight and I know that God is so excited to have him home!  

Thank you blog family!  

I know...I know...I know

Shocked to be hearing from me huh?  I promise I will update soon with lots of funny stories, the toddler bed saga that I have promised you, what all funny things the kids are saying these days and some self pity from the week of ice we are currently having.  

Ok...one quick Elliotism...

The other night we were watching the Golden Globes and she kept saying "Oh Momma...she 'necked'!".  We realized she was saying this anytime someone came on wearing a strapless dress.  Atleast at 2 she has some modesty in her!  (Let's just hope it stays that way when her and her daddy are fighting over what dress she wants to wear to prom!)

For a quick fix for my family, here are some pictures from the ice storm this week.  Enjoy and I'll be back soon!  

Daddy likes to bake when its cold out....E likes to help!

We LOVE to brush our teeth!

Getting ready to head out...just need shirts...

Not to sure what to do in gloves with no fingers...

Tasting the snow...

See the snow ball?  We gave him one and he immediately somehow knew to throw it at E!

View from our window...

We ended up with about 2 inches of ice topped of by 1/2 inch of snow.

Pool at the Nana & Papas....couldn't see the pool but the hot tub was nice!!!
