Sisterly Moments...

Here are a few cute moments from this week:

Gabby LOVES to brush hair. Either her own hair of our hair. She also loves the blow dryer and comes crawling fast once she hears me turn it on and sits on my lap. I think Gabby is going to be a hair dresser when she gets older. So when I went to go put the girls to bed Tuesday night Gabby grabbed the brush and started to comb Alyssa's hair. Alyssa being the good sport she is let her with a smile.

Gabby has been very crabby tonight... I am thinking she is getting another molar. So I gave her a bottle with water(YES I am trying to wean her off... but she is attached) and put on Yo Gabba Gabba for her and sat her on the couch so I could eat dinner. Alyssa went and got her a pillow, her snake and a baby so she could snuggle with them. Now Alyssa is cuddling with a sleeping Gabby watching the Backyardagins on TIVO.

Best American Idol Performance EVER!!

Did anyone watch last night?? I think David Cook will be the next Chris Daughtrey! His performance last night had to be the best ever on American Idol. I would totally buy this single. As Randy would say "He rocked the house, dawg!!"

Ca Ca!!

Is Gabby's new word! I told her not to put something in her mouth because it was Ca Ca. So now she goes around saying CA CA!! She says it so cute that it doesn't sound gross.
Her other new words this week are counting to five (someone has to say it with her and she will repeat), agua (water in Spanish), and Rub Rub Rub (when I wash her in the bath).
She also refuses to let us feed her anymore. She loves to use her utensils while eating. My baby is growing up so fast!! Its amazing that 16 months have flown by.

Easter Weekend...

Busy again!! I told Brian the last weekend of April (which is the only weekend I have nothing on the calendar)I am not planning ANYTHING and going to stay in my pajamas alllllll weekend until church! Then after church I am going to get back into my pajamas and do nothing, lol!

Anyways... Friday I watched little Miss Jade. She is so cute!! I was doing laundry and she wanted to help out so I let her. Alyssa was maaaaaaad!! She yelled at me "You are NOT her MOTHER! I am your helper!!" Ruh-roh... jealousy rears it's ugly head. After America picked up Jade I had a dentist appointment and my teeth hurt all weekend... blahhhh....

Jade and Alyssa watching Nemo:


Saturday we went to Elijah's 6th birthday and the boyfriend argument is settled. Isaac yelled to everyone "Alyssa is my girlfriend!!!" Paulie heard this and was shocked. He did not want to talk to Alyssa today at church. I think it's over between them, LOL! 5 year old drama cracks me up.

Gabby and her BFF Kallista:
Sunday we went to church. I taught class today and we learned about how Mary found Jesus' tomb empty, how Jesus rose again and made Mary puppets (See picture, I cropped out the other kids other than Alyssa) Then my dad and Zenaida came over and I made ham, mashed potatoes, candied yams, rolls, macaroni and cheese and green beans. I also made cupcakes for dessert. It was sooo yummy! We also had an egg hunt for the girls. Brian put dollar bills in a few eggs and each girl found money. That was great because they didn't have to argue over who got money and who didn't. We had fun and were really stuffed.

Little Miss Mischief

Look at what Miss Gabby got into today!!!

I left the bathroom for TWO seconds and I walk in on Gabby making a mess with the toilet paper. Not only did she unravel the paper she ripped into shreds. I walked in and said "GABRIELLE LAUREN!! What did you do??" Then I ran to get the camera and Alyssa yelled frantically "MOM ARE YOU GOING TO CALL THE POLICE???" LOL!!! Funny girl...
Gabby is too cute to be mad at... Her new word... CHEESE!!! Whenever I get out the camera she says Cheese automatically then squints when the flash goes off which makes it close to impossible to get a good picture of her!! Here are a few good pics of her saying CHEESE!!

As you can see in the last picture she likes to sit in baby strollers. She had her daddy push her around in it...
How can you EVER be mad at that cute face???? Can you tell she also has her daddy wrapped around her finger???

Christmas in March!

I know I am insane but the girls Christmas gifts are here! American Girl was having a special where shipping was free. So I had to take advantage of that since my shipping would have paid 22 dollars for shipping. Alyssa got a Just Like Me doll with pajamas for the doll. Gabby got a Bitty Baby with stroller and fake food. I am usually a early Christmas shopper but I usually start in July not March. I like to be prepared and not broke come December since the girls birthdays and property taxes are due around that time. So off to the storage closet the gifts go... see you in 9 months!

The 18th!

Today is my husband's birthday. What's strange is that in exactly three months I will be 31. What's even MORE strange is that Gabby will be 2 in exactly 8 months. We were all born on the 18th. I started laughing when I was in labor with Gabby and told Brian how crazy it was that the three of us are born on the 18th. Then when we went to go get Gabby's birth certificate signed at the hospital the lady thought we had made a mistake on filling out the birthday's since Brian birthday is on 3/18, my birthday is on 6/18 and Gabby's birthday is on 11/18. She was like no honey you guys have to just fill in the BABY'S birthday on the birth certificate application. I said we did! We were just all born on the 18th! She looked at us crazy then she was like Ya'll are so cute. Strange how these things all work out.
