on a role

we have been on a movie watching role lately. This one is good at parts. I wasnt thrilled about the things the daughter was saying. I think they could have done without having the girl talk about sex education at the age of somewhere around 8-10. I wanted to see it because...... well Ryan Reynolds is my celebrity crush. yup its true. lol But i think the worst language came from the little girl. Over all i would give this movie a B-

up to no good.

It has become a daily struggle in our house keeping maddy out of trouble. She is up on the table at lease 20 times a day. no really. Its worse if there is food up there. Then when she realizes she cant get back down ... she screams at the top of her lungs "MOMMA" until i come and get her. I dont know why she hasnt learned. Ive sent her to time out and she will go sit in time out only to get up and do it again when her time out is done. Getting into the cabinets is another thing she loves to do. I dont mind that so much because that just what babies do. She likes to pretend with the pots and pans that she is in a marching band under my feet when im cooking dinner. That doesnt bother me. Maddy is my dare devil. My girl that is gonna push the limits. My risk taker.

wall-e

We took the girls to the movies for the first time to see wall-e . Its pretty cute. Haley enjoyed it. she kept saying "wow thats a big tv". Jason had a blast of course. we havent been to the movies since we lived in texas and saw The breakup. It was fun family time.

Poo..... there really is no better title

so i was on the phone with my brother chatting away about potty training. I was saying i didnt think maddy was ready just yet because she gets mad when i put her on the potty. I dont want to push her into it. I was saying i was glad i didnt force haley into it because she hasnt had an accident yet .Just as i was saying all this haley runs into the room saying "she pooped on the couch mommy. Its so horribel. Its so stinky". my heart sinks. i go into the living room to see and there is no poo. i walk into their room and there it is.On her disney princess couch. I was mortified. Not to be graphic but it was a lot. I didnt know if i was going to cry or laugh. Laugh only because i was still on the phone with my brother and he thought the whole situation was hilarious. It was that crazy laugh you know when you are about to go absolutly nuts. See maddy has been going through a phase of taking off her diaper. Does this mean its time for training? Anyway all this happens after a long night of haley throwing up. such fun. the joys of motherhood.

growing like a weed

I took peyton to the doctor for her two month check up. she is doing great. Growing so fast. she is 12 pounds. and super long. id have to look at her chart because i dont remember how long but i know she is in the 95th percentile! Her head is big too but that runs in the family fo sho. Her doctor says she is doing the best she has seen as far as moving and holding her head up. she is so strong i think we may have a heavy weight champion on our hands folks. She is super healthy and beautiful as ever lookin like her daddy as you can see in the pics. mini stoby

your gonna miss this

Lately ive been wishing things away. Too often i catch myself saying things like " i cant wait till the kids are out of diapers" or "i cant wait till the kids get older so we can do more things". I heard this country song and it really made me stop and think about how much i am going to miss. I just need to remember that there are pros and cons to every age and i need to enjoy these days while i can. Before i know it they will be grown adults and out of the house. Here are the lyrics to that song. They really say alot.


She was staring out the window
Of their SUV
Complaining, saying,
I cant wait to turn 18
She said, "I'll make my own money"
And I'll make my own rules"
Mama put the car in park
Out there in front of the school
And she kissed her head
And said 'I was just like you"

You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're going to miss this

Before she knows it
She's a brand new bride
In her one bedroom apartment
And her daddy stops by
He tells her "It's a nice place"
She says "It'll do for now"
Starts talking about babies
And buying a house
Daddy shakes his head
And says "Baby just slow down"

Cause You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're going to miss this

Five years later
There's a plumberWorking on the water heater
Dogs barking, phones ringing
One kids crying, one kids screaming
She keeps apologizing
He says "They don't bother me.
I've got two babies of my own.
One's 36, one's 23.
It's hard to believe..."

But You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're going to miss this
You're going to miss this
Yeah you're going to miss this

veggie garden

I have no idea how to start a garden but i thought it would be fun to try. Im probably all wrong on the time and season. who knows. i guess i could educate myself and do it right but i opted to just start digging up some dirt and putting the seeds in. I have no clue if they will grow in clay.. Thats all Georgia has! I planted cucumbers the other day and i noticed they have sprouted up. Lets see if anything grows on em. Jason thought it would be fun to do pumpkins but im a little nervous that the vines may take over the yard! Anyway thats my new hobby. Haley enjoys it too. Ill post pics if they grow lol
