Tooth #8

There is the tinest little white speck of a molar growing in my sweet Ahleah's mouth. I feel so bad for her. I can only imagine how painful this would feel. I do not remember getting teeth as a child. She has been cranky compaired to the happy easy going girl that I am used to.

On another note I am very concerned about Andrea's attention span or lack there of. She has the most difficult time keeping her attention where it needs to be. I hope that as she grows and is challenged in new and interesting ways this will change. For now I will try to work with her and talk to her about how to focus her attention. That is if I can keep her attention long enough.

I love them sooo much....

Andrea is always amazing me with her kind words and loving personality. She is a girl who just loves life. She was so happy today! Her attention is never where I need it to be and I am trying hard to be patient with her and not raise my voice but she could really care less about what I am asking her to do 98 percent of the time. I love that she wants to pick flowers and press them, take walks and invite her firends along the way, kiss her sister and help her even when she doesn't need help, make a book about colors..just for fun, make birthday cards instead of buying them. She is just the most amazing girl and I love her more than I can express and hope she feels my overwhelming love for her in every moment that she is.

Ahleah is becoming such a little girl. She loves playing dolls and her stuffed lamb. She screams MINE when anyone takes what she is playing with from her.She loves to give hugs and kisses and is very determined to figure things out and do things on her own. I find that I want to help her more than she needs and I miss her so much each day when I drop her off at daycare. Andrea is a wonderful sister to her and she adores everything that Andrea does and wants so much to be like her. Ahleah is a happy girl most days but today she was very fussy and demanding in that she knew exactenly what she wanted. When we were at target today as we walked by the shoe section she freaked out and really wanted to purchase new shoes. She grabbed at her shoes and feet and even when I took off her shoes she still was not happy. She kept pointing towards the shoe department and making the cutest grunting sounds. I think I have a shoe lover on my hands. This may mean trouble in the future. I just love her so much and wanted to share my love for her in writing.

I have to be the luckest mommy in the whole world to be blessed with two wonderful girls who each have amazing personalities and radiate love and kindness visable to all who know them.

Our Anniversary!

Chris and I have celebrated our seven year Anniversary!
On Saturday night Chris and I had a fabulous evening out together! We went for sushi and really enjoyed ourselves! Mindy was our babysitter. She does such a wonderful job with our children.
Andrea and Ahleah were both angels on Sunday we had a great time doing errands and planting flowers.
Monday which was our actual anniversary was a crazy day. Ahleah had a pimply rash and I called the Dr. where a nurse made me think she may have had the chicken pox even though she was vaccinated. So...we scheduled an appt. We couldn't get in until 7:15 at night. Which of course is after her bedtime. Ahleah was a dream at the Dr. She weighs 26 pounds and is already 31.5 inches tall. She practically fell asleep in my arms while the Dr. examined her and determined that she did not have chicken pox but some sort of dermatitis. Thank goodness!
She was completely passed out within 2 minutes of getting into the car and Andrea was wonderful at going to bed for Chris.
I still am amazed that we have been married for 7 years. It seem like forever and only a minute all at the same time. I love him so very much and love spending my life with him.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

I had the most amazing Mother's Day ever!

Chris gave me perfume and i love the smell. It is Chanel Chance. I feel so classy when i wear it.

Andrea and Ahleah each got me flowers which smell amazing and look so beautiful! Andrea also went shopping with daddy and pick out some fabulous lip smackers lip gloss and a lovely strawberry shaped cell phone charm for me.

Ahleah and I had a great morning we went to a weight watchers meeting together! She and I, we both need the meetings! She was a complete angel the entire time. I was simply amazed!

We all went to the Brewery for lunch and played outside for the rest of the afternoon. I feel so blessed to have such a loving husband and wonderful daughters. I cannot ask for any more love or caring people to share my life with!

I do wish that the pst month was not filled with so much business and that I could have also spent the day with my Mom. She is the best Mom in the whole world for me! I have learned so much from her and she does so many wonderful thing for my family.

I got an A!

I just checked my PSU account and I earned an A in the Workforce Education and Development class Personnel Administration. I was so busy with the kids and work and Chris is also taking a class this semister. I was very nervous that I would not score as high as I did. I am so glad that the course is over and I am so excited to take another one! I am officially 1/2 way complete with my master's degree.
