Bethany's fixations

Bethany is fixated with a few thing I wish she wasn't,...at least at this age. I can't keep her out of the cell phones, IPOD, or the camera. She's getting into one of them every time I turn around! Literally! She knows how to use them all too. She calls whoever I talked to last, then hangs up on them when she's done, plays games on the IPOD(she's figured several of them out), and takes pics left and right with the camera. Now obviously, having only one camera, I can't take a pic of her using it but apparently she can. These are some of her pics,...I will take the time to dig more out at a later date.

Have you seen the headlines?

Local cat responsible for the death of Mr. Potato Head?

Mr Potato head was reported missing and is now believed to be dead. What appears to be one of his arms has just been found. Local authorities say this cat, who goes by the name "Shadow", is the primary suspect in this case.

"Shadow"

Shadow is still at large. She has a crumpled left ear and is known to hide in dark places. If you spot her please contact the proper authorities.


While there were no actual witnesses to the crime, a camera caught this photo which provided enough evidence to make her the prime suspect.

Zoo trip 3-24-2010

Look at all of these pictures and figure out what is the same in all of them.

































































































Did you figure it out?

just a quick update

I have had a VERY busy week. Want me to tell you about it? OK. I'll try to make it short,.....

Sunday: Bought an entertainment center for the living room. It's VERY nice. Got it used-found a great deal! Yeah! Moved some furniture. Migraine. Getting over the cold still.

Monday: Lily-Dr Apt. 4 mo checkup/shots. She's great. 90th percentile in height! WOW! Bought a tv for the entertainment center. Got it new, 2010 46" Sony BRAVIA, got 600 bucks off too! Had fun getting out of the house as a family. Had a really wierd dream. Migraine.

Tuesday: Took the kids to the zoo with a couple of other girls- nice day, almost 80! Lots of pics,...don't know when you will get to see them(just being honest here). Cody came home early from work-sick. Migraine.

Wednesday: Cody stayed home-still sick. Made homemade rolls, pork ribs, green beans, and mashed potatoes(from scratch) for dinner-soo good! Migraine yet again!

Thursday: Went to the JBF sale with Stacie, got clothes for all 3 kids for this Summer. Good deals but they add up. BK for lunch! Made baked salmon, brussle sprouts, and scalloped potatoes(not from scratch) for supper. Kids went to MDO from 9-3! Starbucks for breakfast. I'm all about food, can you tell? Bethany tried on all of her new clothes and I took pics. ANOTHER MIGRAINE! Bethany didn't have a nap,....very cranky at night~!

Friday(today so far): Kids both up around 6:30am! WHY? Bethany got tired and crabby early so I put her down for a nap before lunch instead of after. Now they are both sleeping. I'm writing this and messing with the 222 pictures I downloaded onto the computer this morning. I promise o put some of them up,.... someday. :)

I don't know what is causing the migraines but I am soo ready for them to go away. They happen every afternoon/evening and besides the headache part, I get nauseous, light hurts my eyes, my brain just refuses to function normally(someone just said that's usual, I know they did! Shhh!!!), and noise hurts my ears. I've tried BC powders, Ibuprofen, and extra strength Tylenol. Nothing helps of more than 30-45 min. May need to go to the Dr about it soon!

For putting up with my rambling I'm going to give you a couple pics. Hope you like them!

Trials and Tribulations

Pretty little girls have it so rough,....
all kinds of things happen to you. Like your Mommy won't stop taking your picture.

"Ok Mommy, you took it. Can we stop now?"

"Seriously? Another one? Aren't you getting a bit carried away?"

"This is really getting old!""Maybe if I don't look at the camera she will stop"

so I told her if she wanted me to stop I would need some really good pictures first,...and she thought about it for a minute.

Aww!!! She kissed her sister!

And gave her a hug too!Ok, everyone is happy now, guess I'd better quit while the quitting good!

new chair

Lily got a new chair towards the end of January, it has proved to be very useful. I really love it and so does she.

About a week ago I left Lily in her chair in the living room and went into the kitchen to put pizza bites in the oven. When I walked back into the living room Lily was gone! My instant thought was that someone had somehow taken her. I VERY quickly searched the house and discovered that Bethany had pushed Lily, in her chair, into our bedroom at the end of the hall and was playing with her.

Man oh man did that scare me! My heart felt like it was going to beat a hole in my chest for at least an hour afterwards.

Since then Bethany has pushed Lily around quite a bit. They both think it's a load of fun. Wonder if they can still do that with the new carpet in?

The pics are from Lily's first time in the chair back in Jan.
