Getting ready for bed

Last friday Mya helped me make cookies for a jewelery party and when I wasn't looking, look what Mya found and boy did she give me the biggest smile when she got caught. Chaysee loves the bath, I think it is her favorite place. As soon as we go into the bathroom and pull out the baby wash and wash cloth, she gets so excited, her legs start kicking and she just reaches for the bath water. Who knew kids would love the water so much? Tonight I had to be a doctor, when you become a mom they never tell that one day you might have to fix a broken toy even if its a broken leg on a favorite stuffed animal. See Mya got a little "Boots the monkey" from Travis when he went to Iowa that she has slept with every night since and Chaysee now loves it, so for Christmas Mya got a big "boots the monkey" When his leg broke a couple of weeks ago Mya wouldn't sleep with him because he was "broken" I told her I'd fix him later and then I put him away. She found him tonight and was so excited until at last she realized I hadn't yet fixed him, when she said he is still broken (I thought of wheezey and woody from Toy story 2), so I immediately got the needle and thread, its not a great job but it will do. Yay for Boots the Monkey!

Summer already?

They were watching Toy Story 2 which would explain the cowbow hats

Seattle from the ferry!

Ferry ride from Bremerton

Well the kids each got a swimsuit for the summer (I know early, but they were on sale). When Mya found hers in her drawer she wanted to try it on. So reluctantly I put it on her. She ran away from me and wouldn't take it off. She then asked for sunscreen, I told her it was raining and we weren't going outside, she said but we need to get ready for summer. If only summer were really that close. We got to go and visit Bryan and Kati last weekend in Bremerton and had a great time. For the most part the kids got along well. Zek and Mya loved the ferrry ride and want to go again soon. Thanks for being greats entertainers Bryan and Kati! Chaysee now has 4 teeth and is working on 5 and 6, so we have had a grumpy girl on our hands as well as a biter! I hate the biting stage. Zek got his first soap in the mouth last week for saying bad words, after being told not to and then shown what would happen if he said it again, not more than 30 min. later he was in the bathroom getting soap-we hope he learned his lesson. Mya is still adjusting to sunbeams (although she never went to nursery) She loves it once she is there, its just all the crying during sacrament and asking if we can leave, but once there she is ok. Chaysee is growing I can't believe she will be 10 mos next week. She is 23 lbs and 23 1/2 in long, we can't keep her in clothes. She loves the bath and now that her neck is better (thanks to Dr. Ribellia, Chiropracter) she really likes to look at stuff and is starting to enjoy being on her stomach. She still isn't crawling, but she is getting close. She loves Jam sandwiches and oatmeal. If anyone is interested Childrens Place and Target are having HUGE sales. We love everyone and hope February finds you full of LOVE! My kids are very excited for Valentines we have been making some every week. LOL who would have thought that making valentines would be so fun. :)
