Teefless

Yesterday afternoon Ashlyn and Adrianna were playing in the computer chair, which happens to be right next to a window. I stepped out of the bathroom just in time to see Adrianna flying of the chair into the blinds mouth first. We took her to the dentist and he pulled out her front tooth, talk about traumatizing! Nanna was such a trouper through the whole thing, she only cried for the a couple minutes after the initial incident!
Her lips and cheeks are a little little swollen today but she doesn't notice because she to busy watching Sponge Bob! Poor Nanna, she has a long while before her permanent tooth grows in!

Our Morning Routine

Me in the shower, barely popping open the shampoo bottle....

Ashlyn (opening the bathroom door)... Mom, Mom, MOM!
Me: What?
Ashlyn: Are you in here?
Me: Yes
Ashlyn: Ok just checkin

Two seconds later...

Ashlyn: Mom, Mom, MOM!
Me What?
Ashlyn: Are you STILL in here?
Me: YES
Ashlyn: Ok just chekin again

One millisecond later..

Adrianna: Mom, Mom, MOM!
Me: What Adrianna?
Adrianna: Are you taking a shower?
Me: (big sigh) Yes honey.
Adrianna: Ok I'll go tell Ashlyn

1 minute later...

The shower curtain opens and a light from a flashlight is shining in my face...
Ashlyn and Adrianna: Mom we found you, can we have a Popsicle?
Me: (even bigger sigh) Not now.

Finally done with my shower, I shut the door and begin brushing my teeth, one second after shutting the door I notice four small hands underneath the door.
Ashlyn: Mommy can you see my hand... touch it ok!
Adrianna: Mom, please touch my hand.
Ashlyn: (hands flailing about) Mom don't forget to brush your teeth so you don't have stinky breath.

Ahh the joys of motherhood... It's amazing we even make it out the door in the morning!

You Know You're a Mom When....

You can't put on a pair of pants, socks, underwear, etc... without a felt letter, number or some cartoon character being stuck to it!

Self Portrait

One of Ashlyn's many masterpieces, the girl loves to draw!
She's come a long way since this post.

Payback

The other day I took this little one (yes she seems sweet and innocent) to run errands with me. While waiting at the Social Security office (yes we were there for an hour and a half), she starting bawling and screaming "I WANT TO GO EAT CHICKEN NUGGETS AND FRENCH FRIES AND LEMONADE WITH MY GRANDMA, NOW!" Nothing I did seemed to console her. I tried everything in my bag of mommy tricks, but she just wasn't having it! The last two minutes we were there she picked up a book and with an oh so sweet voice said "Mommy, I am going to be nice now ok." A group of sweet old ladies meanwhile had been watching this whole ordeal and chuckling amongst themselves. As one passed me on her way out she stopped and said, "Your mother must be laughing it up, seem like your little one is a little miss independent."

Hmmm... Can't wait tell the teen years!

For My Valentine...

Once upon a time in a far off land (Rexburg, Idaho) a young prince decided to show face at a singles church dance (so cliche I know). Little did he know that the most beautiful princess in all the land would be making an appearance (yes that would be me). As soon as she entered the room her eyes meet those of the prince and she knew she absolutely must ask this 6'4 green eyed babe to dance! The prince said yes and swept the princess off her feet! After dancing the night away the prince asked for the lovely princess's royal digits and the rest is history!

Happy Valentines Day my love...

Thank you for giving me my "happily ever after."
