Birthday Contentment

Nothing says Happy 1st Birthday to me like sitting naked on a four wheeler, in a a big pile of crap, while eating a sucker. Ahhh, the life.

Dance Dance Revolution

Here are my little dolls, looking like, well, little dolls. This was their final dance recital of the year, and may I just say that I am so glad that the pressure is now off. If I never see another curling iron, hot roller and sponge curler combo again I will die happy. They of course looked beyond adorable. They had 2 dances that they performed, and while Reese was pretty on point, Ellie prefered to mouth the words to the music and bust out a move or two of her very own. At one point Reese's neighbor got a little close to her for comfort, so she just ever so slightly shoved her out of her way. Between the two of them I was hysterical. For the most part the girls have loved dance, or at least the performing aspect. Their teachers are wonderful. Next year Taytum will also be in dance, so start the praying now please!

My chickies and my honey bunny!

April's Antics

Ellie:

• Calling popovers "leftovers"



• For April Fools Day, I "shrunk" your breakfast (mini box of cereal, mini bananas, mini carton of orange juice). You were so excited that you exclaimed "Did the Aprilchaun (I think someone still had St Patty's Day on the brain) get this little food from Costco?!



• In your nighttime prayer "Please bless that we'll be good and strong, and bless that we'll be good and strong...some more."
  


• "Mom, have you ever seen a sparkle rose?" When I said no, you replied "Well, I have. It was in New York City."



• "Mom, my eyes feel insane."



• "Mom, when you snip my fingernails it makes them feel so nervous!!!"



• Making a special drawing for Grandma Linda when she was in the hospital. You were so concerned for her.

Reese

• When I asked you to please eat your hash browns, you said "No thanks, I'm allergic to them for the day."



• After the car accident, I was explaining how there are important things to always remember, like wearing seatbelts. You said "Yeah, but what's really important it to watch for falling coconuts."



• Ellie was whining and complaining about having to get ready for dance class. When she said "Mom, why do I always have to go to dance?" you yelled from the other room "Because mom pays for it!!"



• You the first to remind everyone that we need to wear our seatbelts, no matter what.



• Since the accident, your very scared to drive anywhere, and will constantly ask me "Why didn't that big white truck see us?"

Taytum

• We found out this month that you need to get your adnoids removed. Boo!



• You telling me to quit sassing you at Payless Shoes, when I told you that you couldn't buy the 7 purses you had on your arms...and around your neck.
  


• You are constantly talking about Flynn Ryder. You are either pretending to be him or pretending he is your boyfriend.



• You still invite and uninvite me, your sissy's, aunt Britt and cousins to your Tangled party...in June.



• You now have an aversion to anything that might make you sticky or dirty. No honey, no ketchup, no pancake syrup.

Beck

• You, my little man, are a walking fool. Your sisters didn't walk until closer to 13 months, but you were walking at 11 months. Big boy!



• I was changing your diaper and when I lifted your onesie, a Cap'n Crunch was stuck in your belly button.



• You love holding my phone up to your ear and say "Hi" about 36 times.



• You love balls and anything with wheels.
