Tato

There are three new posts. I haven't put photoshop on my new computer yet, and then my camera broke anyways, so I have failed to blog recently. I figure I will put photoshop back on tomorrow but until then, here are a few updates. And by updates I mean freakin adorable pictures of my children.

Tato is a such a conscientious girl. She always gets sad when other people are sad, and she always wants to help mommy and daddy in any way she can. She is getting a little more independent and wants to be a big girl. She is growing up too fast! She wanted me to put the Mrs. Potato head earrings on her.

She has way too many "animals" as she calls them. She piles them all up on her bed and has to sleep with a few of them every night.

She likes to have tea parties with her animals and her sister (even though she doesn't like to share with her sister). Her favorite show is Veggie Tales and she sings the theme song all day long.
She likes to do art projects with her daddy like this puzzle that he painted for her. She sat right across from him and "painted" with him. She is super funny and she says the funniest things. The other day Terry was helping her count her fingers and when he got done counting she furrowed her brow and said, "Interesting."

Olie

Olie is a little sweetheart. She is quick to forgive when her sister steals her toys. She always gives her sister a big kiss when she says sorry.

We constantly find her around the house like this. Sometimes she just doesn't make it til bedtime. I think it was just during a growth spurt because she fell asleep randomly three times in one week and then hasn't done it since. I just think it's cute because her sister never fell asleep unless she was in her crib.


Olie's favorite book is Hop on Pop. She calls it On Pop. She loves to read books and especially likes to do anything her big sister is doing. She has already learned how to say no and uses that word almost exclusively. She loves to eat til her belly is protruding. Then she walks around the house sticking it out. She likes playing with blocks and answering questions about her favorite things.

Happy Birthdays!

While Terry and I both had birthdays since I last blogged, our camera broke before my birthday so I figured I'd combine the posts since their are no pictures of mine. For Terry's birthday we went out to eat wherever he wanted for both lunch and dinner. We also went mini golfing and then in the evening we watched a movie of his choice, and I wasn't aloud to veto. He uses those occasions to watch old silly movies that he used to love and this time wasn't an exception. I made him a pretty boring cake. But it still tasted good.


When he woke up that morning he saw this on his desk (table). He always eats his skittles separated by color and he always says it would be easier if he just had jars with them separated (because he loves and eats skittles so much). I am shocked that they are almost gone . . . It took three giant bags to fill those jars.

Anyways, on the bottom of each jar was a number 1-5 and on his gifts were numbers 1-5. Some were gag gifts (but still fun) because come on, I can't afford 5 nice gifts : ). So throughout the day he would pick color and then open the corresponding gift. The girls really loved this because he let them pick the color for him and then help him open the presents. All in all I think he had fun.

My birthday was very nice too. For lunch we went to Pirate Island which I love. I pretend we just go for the girls but secretly I love it. Then I got a massage and got my toenails painted. That's pretty much all I ever want for my birthday because lately it's much needed. I don't need more stuff in my life I need more . . . something else. Massages . . . and pretty toenails.

I also got an uber nice spice rack which I'm pretty excited about since I have been cooking more. I will be adding a few recipes to the blog every once in awhile just for fun. It's always nice to have new meal ideas I think. Then Terry took me out to dinner, while the girls got to play with their cousins. Terry made me a much less boring cake than I made him, but sadly there is no photographic evidence.
