Emma's Santa Visit 2 days early

We had a very special visit from Santa and his helpers early, and since Emma was shy while they were here she wanted to say thank you. They brought her a princess dress up kit that she absolutely loves AND she has tried on all of the dresses and jewelry since they have left which was about 20 minutes ago... THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH SANTA!!!

The Woes of the Terrible Twos!

So lately Emma has gotten into this habit of, if she gets told no she can't do or have something, she says " PaaaaLEASE" as drawn out and whiny as possible. If that doesn't work for her (which it usually doesn't) she will proceed to cry and whine and follow me or Spencer around all the while saying PLEASE and she is relentless she NEVER STOPS.. and as of late the ONLY time she stops (and it is only long enough to tell us) is when she has succeeded in peeing her pants. And having accidents is REALLY uncommon for her, when I potty trained her she didn't have any accidents that first week and has NEVER wet the bed. To say that I am getting a little tired of these tantrums is a HUGE understatement. I don't know what I am doing wrong or if it is just that she is a two year old. It makes me feel like a failure as a mother because I can't handle my child. I have tried every thing to get her to calm down short of strapping her to the top of the van and going for a little ride. It is just all very frustrating and tiresome. If anyone has any brilliant ideas to help with my dilemma please tell me!

Emma and Brooklyn playing

Brooklyn Loves her big sister and Emma sure has fun playing with her and she likes to make her laugh.

Sick Girls

I am sitting at home for the second day in a row with very sick children. They both have a really bad caugh and Emma has lost her voice. It is also snowing so we are stuck inside so they don't get any worse. I think that Emma is getting tired of being inside, she wants to go to grandmas house and to go play in the snow. We have practically watched every pixar movie there is in the last two days. I would bake BUT I think that I would probably eat what ever it is that I bake and seeing how my pants have fit the last few days ( is proabably not the BEST idea). I am hoping that they get better in the next few days so we can go to chruch and not have to tell Emma she can't go to Nursury.
I other news Emma is getting very excited for Christmas We have put up our Tree and she LOVED helping decorating the tree. She has also informed Brooklyn that she cannot open the presents until Santa Comes. She has told us that Santa is bringing her " Pink presents"
She is very intrested in the nativity scenes that we have laid out in the house.

Dead Computer

Ok SO the other day Spencer and I wake up and turn on the computer like we normally do.. to discover that all it went to was " Please insert boot device or boot media and select proper boot media and press any key" Which (being the computer geniuses we are haha) we had NO idea what to do except the fact that what it was saying is proabably a BAD sign. We called every computer guy we knew and had one of our frineds come over to look at it... His prognosis was BAD!!!! he didn't think that we could recover anything (which was bad because we hadn't backed up any of our documents which included ALLL the photos of Emma and Brooklyn ALLLL of the photos) needless to say I was a little upset and kicking myself because I knew that the computer was about to crash it kept making a BAD sound over and over again yup lets hear it WE ARE IDIOTS!!! So we took it to my brother and someone he knows at work and they were able to recover all but 15 pictures HALLELUJAH!!!! luckly we have a laptop to tide us over until we get a better computer.

Swimming

Brooklyn with Mommy.

Emma playing with the fountian.

Brooklyn Playing with the fountain.

We decided we wanted to do something fun on Saturday. There was a free day at the zoo so we asked Emma if she wanted to go to the zoo or to go swimming she chose swimming. It was the first time Brooklyn had been in a pool and she seemed to LOVE it. They must take after their mom.

I admit defeat

Mainly because I didn't try very hard after kelly uploaded some really good songs. (I ran out of time) She may have won this battle but the war WILL continue!!!! :)

The War is ON!!!

Ok So some of you may think that our playlist is REALLY random... well my sister and I have sorta declared war to see who can get the best music in their list. So as of right now I think I am winning.. (however we both of some really awesome songs ) SO help me out if I don't have a song that is AWESOME tell me and i'll put it on my play list so I can WIN!!
Kelly be prepared to go down...begging and pleading for mercy!!!

Brooklyn

I just think that Brooklyn is getting chunky I am posting two pictures- one from the summer and one from the first of the month you tell me what you think!!! She is breaking my arm when I pick her up on the car seat.

YEAH for Twilight

SO Twilight comes out in like two days and I am SOOO excited to go see it. I have a ticket already and everything. It has become one of my favorite books. So who wants to join my Twlight fan club??? (not really a fan club I just want to make sure that I am not the ONLY 25 year old freak excited for a movie directed towards teenagers).

Early Thanksgiving

We went over to Grand Junction this last weekend for the Parrish family "early Thanksgiving".

We had a lot of fun getting together with our family. Emma really enjoyed playing with her cousins. We got some cute pictures of Emma modeling on the tree in the back yard. Ashliegh also gave Emma a little haircut.
