Funny Quotes

I may be a little biased, but I think Raegan is one of the most hilarious, witty little kids I know. The things she says has me rolling on the floor sometimes, and I just wanted to document them on here to remember them.

This conversation came after Raegan and I had been discussing how we don't run away from mommy in the parking lot or the road because of how dangerous cars can be...

Raegan: Oh no, my puppy's ball went in to the street.
Me: It's okay, I will go get it.
Raegan: Okay mom, but watch for cars first because you could get hit, and then you would be gone, and then I would be sad.


This conversation happened as we were on a walk...

Raegan: Mom, when I am a mommy, I am going to push Addison in her stroller.
Me: Well, when you are a mommy, Addison will be grown up also.
Raegan: How come I can't push Addison in her stroller?
Me: Because when you are a mommy, Addison will be big also and you will have your own babies to push in their stroller.
Raegan: Aw, how come you don't want to share your baby with me.
Me: (lots of laughing)

Sisterly Affection

How cute are they? I had them in Raegan's bed before nap time and was reading a book to them.

Then Addison started to slip a little towards Raegan's side of the bed, and started a little hair pulling, and a little arm flailing, and then Raegan started to fight back, and here are the results...

All while Mommy was taking pictures, HeHe! They have to learn to work their differences out on their own, right? =)

Disclaimer: I broke up the fight right after I finished documenting it.

Getting so big!

Addison is almost sitting up all on her own. She can sit up for about 20 seconds and then she tips over again. I give another day or two before she has it down.

Santa!

Our town of Surprise had Santa come to the Pro shop at the Stadium where the Rangers have spring training one night last week. Justin got home from work early and we decided to go and get the girls pictures taken with him. Well, that was a bad idea. We woke Raegan up from her nap and so she was already in a bad mood I (in our defense, she had already been napping for 2 1/2 hours, that is why we woke her up). Then we get to the stadium and the line was so long. We decided to stand in it because I thought surely it won't take that long for it to move. Wrong! We finally got to sit on Santa's lap 2 hours later after standing out in the cold. I got one picture where Addison was actually looking at the camera, but Raegan was not, and then one picture where Raegan was looking and Addison was not. Typical! But, they are still cute and document the occasion, so that's all that matters. If I happen to go to the mall again between now and Christmas, I may consider trying the mall Santa.


Enjoy the pics...


Oh, and did I mention that there was supposed to be this thing called a "balloon glow" there? We had no idea what it was, but when we got there, it happened to be a big hot air balloon that was yellow and sponsored by Wendy's, that they would shoot the flame up in to make it light up. Raegan HATED it. So much that she was freaking out screaming, running away, and telling us she wanted to go home. The combination of that and the bad attitude from being woken up from her nap, we were almost ready to go home, but we stuck it out. She hopped in to our friend's stroller and put the hood down so she couldn't see it, and we fed her popcorn to keep her happy.

Thanksgiving Blessings!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!


I know this is about 5 days late. But I just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Justin's mom and sister came in town to celebrate with us. It was Addison's first Thanksgiving. We are gearing up for Christmas and I can't wait until it is here. We will be traveling to Houston to see my side of the family. This year things are a little bittersweet for us, because we know next year the holidays will be spent without Justin. It will be even sadder for him because he will not have any family, and will be living in a dorm room all by himself.


Things I am thankful for:


Justin, the love of my life and soul-mate
Crazy, sweet, strong-willed Raegan
My new bundle of joy Addison
Sawyer, even though he drives me crazy most of the time
Wonderful parents
My little sister and brother, even they are all grown-up and aren't so little anymore
My in-laws
Such a strong network of extended family
That we are financially stable in such economically hard times
That God keeps my husband safe every day that he flies
The opportunity to live near the rest of my family again next year
Fantastic friends that I can go for weeks without talking to and then sit and go over my cell phone minutes in one phone call.
My military "family"...people that will be friends and support no matter where in the world the air force sends us.


Two of my favorite blessings...





Someone was tuckered out from all of the Thanksgiving food.

And here is a picture of everyone (minus me taking the picture) from Thanksgiving weekend.

Dresses for the girls

I made some pillowcase dresses for the girls for their 6 month and 1 year pictures next week. This was my first time to sew clothes. I think they turned out pretty well. I am considering making a new one for Addison, though, because I cut the fabric for hers back in August and just estimated what I thought she would wear now, and I underestimated my chunky little monkey, so it is a little snug.

Isn't Addison's so tiny and cute?

More Peas Please...not!

This post is for you Maegan! ;)

So, as most of you know by now, I am making my own baby food this time around for Addison. I keep a few jars around the pantry to throw in the diaper bag if I'm going to be out and about during mealtime, but for the most part, we have bags and bags of "food cubes" in the freezer. Well, I just made Addison peas the other day and she liked them. Now, I don't know that she loved them, but she finished them all, so I guess that's all that matters.

Why is this earth-shattering news you might ask? Because, I HATE peas, her sister hates peas, her grandfather hates peas. You may say that "hate" is such a strong word, but that about sums up my relationship with them. In fact, it may not quite do my feelings towards the veggie justice. I only made one tray worth of peas, and unfortunately for Addison, that's probably all she will get. Even the smell of them cooking made me want to gag. I may just have to let Justin give them to her from a jar. Seriously guys, I truly can't think of a vegetable that I dislike more.

So, there is my fun little post about peas. I posted this as an inside joke, so most of you won't get it, but I tried to make it as interesting as possible, haha!

I promise I will blog about Halloween (I know, forever ago) and Raegan's party soon. I'm sure that will be more exciting than peas.

It has begun

Here is a cute picture of Addison holding on to Raegan's pink baby. Raegan got upset that Addison had her doll. The fights over toys has already begun.

Aggie Cuteness

Just wanted to share a picture of my girls all dressed up in their Aggie gear!

First Tooth

I found Addison's first tooth on Tuesday of this week. She was chewing on the swing at the park, and so I started to feel around in her mouth to see if she was close to cutting a tooth, and sure enough, there was already one through. It was pushed through enough that it must have been there for about a week. She never showed any signs of teething. She wasn't fussy, drooling, or waking up in the middle of the night. It wasn't until she was chewing on everything that I even thought to check. So, my little got her first tooth at 5 months. Raegan got her first at 6 months, and she actually cut the first 2 on the same day.
