Crazy Old Lady...

So the other night I worked the night shift and Taylor had to work the next day cuz it was a week day- (unfortunately they haven't been able to schedule me on weekends lately). Anyway, so I had to take care of the girls on no sleep which makes me feel like I am drunk and weird, not to mention crabby. Anyway I decided to go grocery shopping while I was in town with the girls to save gas and to help keep me awake (instead of sitting at home falling asleep on the couch). So just in case any of you don't know, I am kind of a germ-a-phobe, especially when it comes to people I don't know touching my kids, or public places with shopping carts, etc. Some old lady comes up to our cart and sees Mailey and starts to come near her. I didn't think anything of it and continued looking at the shelf, just thinking that she was just smiling at her or something. Old ladies ooohh and awww over my kids a lot for some reason-especially Mailey. All of a sudden I turn around and the lady has pulled Mailey's hood down and is stroking her face!! I-being surprised and did I mention tired and grumpy said "uh-please don't touch her." She looked surprised, hurt, I don't know... Then I kind of felt bad, but then I thought to myself, even if I wasn't a germ-a-phobe, I don't want some random person touching my kids. I don't care if you're an old lady or not-if I don't know you, please don't stroke my kid's face. Maybe I'm over reacting, but that really urks me! Other women in the grocery store have asked if they can hold Mailey when was crying in her carseat while I was bagging groceries before. Hello-NO!! I happen to watch the news and hear about all sorts of crazies and child molesters and I have no idea who you are. No Thanks. Sorry, that was a total venting session, I am probably overreacting, but had to get it out!!

First Day of Spring!!











Friday was the first day of Spring (I think), and it was a beautiful day. I took some pictures of the girls. Taylen was thrilled to be outside, and Mailey sat in the swing for 45 minutes straight kicking and going "wow, wow, woooow." It was fun. I also added a pic of me with the girls on the side bar, as Taylor has been nagging me for awhile.

Happy Birthday MAILEY!!














Mailey turned one (1) on Monday, March 9th. I can't belive how fast time flies. We had a small celebration on Sunday. I made her a cake and we had a few small gifts. Taylen helped open the gifts, of course. We let Mailey get naked and let her "have at" her cake, if she wanted. She was more interested in the balloons and cried whenever we pushed her toward the cake and got frosting on her. Neither of our girls have liked the whole cake thing on their first birthday. It was fun! I updated some other pictures below too!

Pictures-Keep Scrolling!











I am finally able to post pictures on my blog. Here are some. Keep scrolling for another post with updates and more pictures!

Playing Catch Up...
















Yay! Today I logged into my blog and it's going to let me post pictures, so I am updating. I will probably just post a ton of pics cuz I have to play catch up, but here are few cute things the girls are doing... Mailey just turned 1! Mailey has taken 13 steps. She will take my cell phone or a play phone and put it up to her ear, cock her head, and say "ah," like "hello." She is so cute. She knows when she isn't supposed to do something because she will look back at me anticipating me to tell her no. She loves to graze for crumbs on the floor-NASTY (no matter how clean I think my floors are-she finds something)! So I say "yuck" and take them away from her, (when I can catch her.) So now she sees me coming to take crumbs away from her and says "uck," and smiles at me. She's so funny. Taylen has been picking Mailey up and has carried her from one room to the other and almost lifted her on the couch. This is pretty scary, but Mailey holds her own. She can be mean to Taylen. She will hit her and scream at her. It's so funny! It's like they're already fighting.
Taylen is hilarious. Imagine this-Taylor farts and burps a lot. Anyway, I say this because that is why Taylen has been so funny lately. The other night we were getting her ready for bed and Taylor farted. She quickly pulled her shirt over her nose and said "gross." That must be my automatic reaction. Then we said a prayer and she added at the end, "and bless daddy won't fart." It was so hilarious. Then tonight Taylor passed gas again and Taylen goes "ew, does that smell like diarhea?" It was so stinkin' funny. We couldn't stop laughing. She also loves the movie "Nacho Libre" a lot right now. We watched it a couple weeks ago, and she thinks it's hilarious because Jack Black farts everytime he jumps. Also, Taylor burped tonight and Taylen goes "ew, what kind of burp is that daddy?" Anyway, quite the blogging material-I'm sure everyone wanted to hear it, but we thought it was pretty funny.

Posting troubles...

I am trying to post other pictures of Mailey and TAylen with my posts, but it is not letting me attach pictures. Anyone know why it would be doing that?

Sleeping Duty


I have not updated in Forever, but here are some cute things the girls have done lately... Taylen said a couple weeks ago, "It's driving me nuts." and has said it occasionally since then. She repeats a lot of what we say, but I guess that's why you have to be careful what you say around your kids. Appearantly, I say "driving me nuts" a lot. anyway, here is a picture of her in one of her princess dresses from Santa and a mask she made at the library. She says, I look like "Sleeping Duty." It's either that or "Cindabella."
