I am working on catching up this blog. I am kinda doing it backwards.....imagine that! I will be finishing up 2009 soon! Hopefully! Then I hope to blog in REAL time again!!! Yea right!!!

Stealing kisses!!!

I just had to post this picture!!

Melee is blowing Josy a kiss and Josy is catching it!!!

They love each other so much!!!

Josy has lost another tooth!

This makes the third! I have NEVER seen a child just pull their own teeth, but she does! She got 4 quarters this time from the tooth fairy. The tooth fairy told me when she went to get the tooth from under Josy's pillow she had to pry it out of her hand. Josy was holding onto the baggie that contained the tooth for dear life. She was hoping to catch the fairy this time......If you remember last time Josy couldn't help but wonder why her dollar had a star on it. This time she took each quarter out of the baggie and smelled it. Yea smelled it! Believe it or not she thought two of them smelled just like fairy dust! LOL!! Wonder what she thought the other two smelled like?

Death is all around......

This month so far we have experienced a lot of loss. My aunt Sue died, Tammie's 49 year old fiance died, my mom's best friend's daughter died and my 38 year old step-sister passed away unexpectedly. I sit here and type and watch the girls play in the floor beside me and think. I know that I have always realized we are never promised tomorrow but with all the death it is so REAL right now. I am watching the ones I love dearest in this world go through something that has overwhelmed them with the deepest kind of sorrow. I sit,pray and listen. What else can I do? I feel helpless......But, I am so thankful that they all have a strong relationship with the author of comfort, our LORD Jesus. I ask you to join me in praying for these dear ones who are suffering.

The little things.......

The girls were playing hide and seek. I was sitting in Melee's floor putting away clothes. I could hear them giggling. I am thankful! I mean belly laughing. Josy had found Melee! Such a sweet sight of the love between sisters! Then all of a sudden Josy tells Melee it is her time to try and find her. Little Melee walks over to her crib, covers her eyes and acts like she is counting. So cute!!! It is the little things like this I hope I never forget as long as I live! Thank you God for blessing me with my family!!!!

It's SOCCER time again!!!

Another Milestone Achieved!!!

Josy Girl learning to ride her bicycle without training wheels!!!

Notice Melee...she doesn't want to miss anything.

Oh and she is ALMOST naked again. She put those panties on herself.

She took off her diaper and came out of her room like this.......

You can really see the way she STUDIES things in this picture. She is wondering if she could ride that bike too!!!

Just cause I love this picture.

Phases in life....

I walked into the living room and thought to myself..... this is a KODAK moment. I ran to get my camera. This was so cute of the girls laying watching cartoons! I had been folding clothes and had noticed the silence in the house. I knew I had better go check on the munchkins! This is what I found. Innocent enough, right? That is what I thought too. After I took the picture I walked over to give them a kiss. Melee was naked. Yes naked....no diaper.....nothing! I sure hope this is just a phase! LOL!!!!

Easter

This was the picture of my babies before church on Easter. Johnathan looks like his dog just got run over. He has NEVER liked having his picture taken. I make him every once and a while because I get so tired of him saying.....you never take pictures of me.....just can't win!!! I love him! On the way to church this morning we each told what we were thankful for.....It was neat to do that. We get so busy rushing through life we forget to tell the ones we love how special they are to us! I love each of my children so much. I pray I tell them all the time and they NEVER doubt how important and special they are to me!!!!!
