First 5!!!!

OK! So this is how this works...the first 5 people to respond to this post will receive something made by me for you. My choice. Made especially for you.Of course there are some restrictions and limitations:

1 I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!
2 What I create will be just for you.
3 It will be done sometime this year.
4 You have no clue what it will be. It may be a story. It may be poetry or an article on properly cleaning your face before a masque. I may draw or paint something. I may bake something and mail it to you. Who knows? Not you, that's for sure.
5 I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? The catch is that you must re-post this on your own blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on their blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did will win a fabulous homemade gift by me!! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it!!

5 months old!!

Chris and Maddie are now 5 months old and this month I'm only 6 days late in posting their pictures. Hurray for me!! They are SO much fun!!!! They are also getting very heavy. I'll be glad when the time comes that I don't have to carry them around in their car seats anymore, but in the mean time I'm getting really toned arms.

Better late then never

Chris and Maddie's first Valentines Day!

Can you tell I picked out the onesies

All smiles, most of the time

Funny Girl

Hailey gets funnier everyday!!! This morning she screamed and I told her "Screaming in the house is bad because it's loud and obnoxious." She replied "An-oxious, I'm not an-oxious." She loves to repeat everything she hears or things that we (mostly Aaron) teach her to say. Aaron has taught her, if asked "What's Uncle Andrew?" she'll say "gay" and if asked "What's Uncle Joe?" she'll say " a retard". She'll also says, when Chris and Maddie are upset "What's Chris/Maddie's problem". She is also very protective over her little brother and sister. She always has to know where they are and doesn't like it if people she doesn't know hold them. She also doesn't like it if they are upset, she'll come over to Aaron or myself and tell us to fix it!!! The other day Maddie was fussing for no reason, she is very emotional and dramatic. Aaron was holding Maddie and started to bug her because she was fussing. Hailey came right over to Aaron and demanded that he give her Maddie because he was being "not nice" (as Hailey put it). She is very demanding and loving when it comes to Maddie Girl and Stinky Boy Chris, as she sometimes calls them.

Party Girl

As you can see by the post below Hailey turned 2. That means party time!! Of the choices she was given Hailey decided to have a Cars themed birthday party and loved it. Some family and close family friends came to celebrate. Hailey had a lot of fun seeing and playing with everyone. Since she is still a little to young to play most birthday games we just pulled out all of the toys and let the kids play while the adults chatted. Then we had lunch, opened presents (thanks everyone she loves her new toys and books), sang Happy Birthday and had some cake. It was so much fun and Hailey really, really loved it.

Chris and Maddie enjoyed the party too because they got held the whole time. Lucky babies!!

Happy Birthday Hailey

On February 6th our little Hailey Bug turned 2 years old or as she says it "2 fingers". When I asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday she said "walk on the bridge". Once Aaron got home from work we went to the Sundial Bridge and walked across. She said "Hi" to everything, the bridge, the people there, the river, everything. Hailey and Aaron went down to the river bed and threw rocks in while Chris, Maddie and myself walked around under the bridge and took pictures. From there we went to Olive Garden for dinner. Pasta is one of Hailey's favorite things to eat. After dinner we went to Wal-Mart and picked out her present, fish. She loves to look at the fish at Wal-Mart and every time we go there she asks if we can. We got her a small fish tank and 5 goldfish. She loves to watch her fish and asks us to turn on the light and feed them all the time. She also talks to the fish and tells them what to do. It's very cute to watch. Here are a few pictures of her day.
