Happy Birthday Mom!!

Today is my mom's birthday, if she were still alive she would be 70 today..wow...I just thought I would post a tribute to my mom...I miss her dearly and I think she would just have a blast with the twins. I know that she is looking down on us and enjoying it from afar...She always said that everyone should have a kid for payback...well I guess I just had to have 2, was I that bad of a child? Just kidding...but makes you think....

I wanted to post a "happy day" picture and I think this was a happy day for everyone, it is just amazing at how fast time flys...it seems like yesterday when i got married, and it is hard to believe that it has been 7 years!

Oh and another funny thing about this day...she once made a comment to me about what she was wearing...well when Toby got married back in 1988 she wore a pink dress and she had this theory that Toby and Kandi had all girls because she wore a "pink" dress to their wedding, then she preceded to tell me that I am going to have all boys because she is wearing a "blue" dress, well glad that didnt happen...I am happy with my boy and girl...(although my little girl is a turd)

Anyway, I was just really thinking of my mom and thought I should do a little blog about her...

I love you mom and I miss you lots! XOXO

We have a smarty pants in the house!

I always knew and could tell you time after time that Hayden is a "Smarty Pants" she is always too smart for her little britches. She would be a little sneak, she always figures out how to do something first....and she really pushes your buttons, she knows how hard to push and she will back off sometimes...but today she was really smart...

Nick and I were in the living room and all of a sudden it was quiet...hmmm what could the twins be up to? Well he goes walking down the hallway and says you need to come and look at this. I guessed it before he could say it, Hayden crawled in the bathtub. Now let me tell you they just LOVE the bathtub for some reason, so pretty soon Nick was going to put away the camera and there goes Kaden he was leaning so far into the tub to get toys and he was in the tub too! Silly kids I tell ya!

So now it is lunch time and I am hungry, so I decide that taco bell sounds good for lunch. I get dressed and get in the car and off to taco bell I go...while in the Drive thru lane a picture message comes in from nick....and lo and behold here it is...


Now the kids have always been facinated with the doggie door and I have just been waiting for the time for one of them to figure out how to get thru. She did eventually make it thru to the outside, in the time that Nick was getting the video camera as well as the still camera she was outside laughing at him from the sliding glass door and walking down the sidewalk...what a little stinker!!
On my way to work I get another text msg, stating that Nick was looking for Hayden and when he couldnt find her he spotted her on the outside and once she spotted him she darted down the sidewalk...she escaped thru the doggy door.... Oh my....
So there it is in a nutshell, we officially have a smarty pants in the house!!! I wonder what she will come up with next...
Speaking of the little devil, as I am typing this I get another text from Nick saying that Hayden is a little turd and it was quiet and she was then again OUTSIDE... we are in trouble!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas...it sure was interesting this year having two mobile little ones...it sure was fun though!!! I can only imagine how much fun it is going to be as the years come...I would love to post some pictures, but...we dont have any downloaded from the camera, and I stole Nicks laptop so I can play games here at work on Christmas day LOL...anyway...the babies made out and came away with a haul of toys and fun stuff...They got lots of learning toys, bath toys, food stuff (plates, forks,etc), clothes, and some cool toy boxes to put all the stuff away...we got gift cards (which are super dooper)...the best thing of all was spending time with family, I am so thankful for all my family and what they do for us! THANK YOU!

So as I sit here at work and dwell on all the stuff that will have to be done on my days off I just sigh...oooh but I do want to go shopping haha there is always time to do that right???
