Thing 1 and Thing 2

OMG! My little nephews, Thing 1 and Thing 2! Aren't they just the cutest!?!?!?!?!? The happy little girls are their sisters, age 2.5 and 5....they are adorable, too!

When my sister told me she had onesies of Thing 1 and Thing 2 I just about died! I couldn't wait to see the pics of the twins in them!

I had to put my nieces in this post, too! They are the only ones on my side that call me Auntie Mel, so I had to put them all on here.

Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Thanks Sis for letting me put your babies on my blog! I appreciate showing them off to my blogging world of friends!

They Grow So Fast

Just feeling....nostalgic ? today, is that even the right word? I am (sigh) just thinking back to when the kids (even my big ones, but I don't have any pics of them on the computer when they were babies, we didn't have digital back then!) were all small, and when life was so much more simple...they just played all day or would nap or fight or whatever and it wasn't like any major decisions needed to be made in regards to them, they were just babies and all was fine...

*Pic #1: Brandon when he was just a baby in the hospital. Born August 4th, 2007 and just 6 lbs 11 oz, he was such a small bean!

Pic #2: Kylie, me, Serena and Brandon in the hospital. Look how young Kylie and Serena are!

Pic #3: Serena and Brandon. She got the Elmo and Cookie Monster from Daddy when Brandon was born, and she put them in his car seat, to share! We still have those dudes!

Pic #4: Serena holding Brandon. She was so happy and proud to be a big sister! At just 2 when he was born, she was awesome!

Pic #5: Brandon at 1 yr and 9 months, in his sweater vest, just like his Dad!

Pic #6: Brandon close to 2 yrs, playing at a party for his cousin.

Pic #7: Brandon was a monkey for Halloween!

Pic #8: Serena serious about picking her pumpkin.

Pic #9: Brandon and Serena at the pumpkin patch.

Pic #10: Brandon and Serena playing together at a friends for a BBQ.

Pic #11: Serena with her cake when she turned 3. She still loves the Disney Princesses!

I Love Fridays! FF

Welcome to another addition of Friday Fragments. Head on over to Mrs. 4444 for more wonderful randomness!

Serena and I have been praying together in the mornings. We went on a walk the other day and we were talking, our conversation went something like this:

Serena: Mom, I am sorry for what I said to you. I didn't mean it.

Me: That is ok, I forgive you.

Serena: Mom, do you think God will forgive me?

Me: Oh, Serena of course he will forgive you, but you need to ask him for forgiveness.

Serena: God, please forgive me for what I said to my mom, I didn't mean it! Amen!

I wish I could have recorded this conversation, it was precious and I will remember it always!

Brandon has been sleeping in his bed, in the room he shares with Serena...but he has been waking up at 4:30 in the morning, for 3 nights/mornings in a row!?!?!?!? Why? Why? Why would he be doing this to me? Doesn't he know I need my beauty sleep???? I sure as hell don't disturb him when he is napping, he gets his 2 hour nap, so why does he insist on ruining my rest? Doesn't he know I am a better Mommy after a good nights sleep, vs being woken at 4:30???

The weather for 3 days this week was in the upper 70's! Which means the girls wore summer dresses and the boys were in shorts. We walked to the park and played and played. It is still winter, right?? Living in Southern Cali we frequently get sunny days even in winter. I love it! The kids played outside for hours and actually drank lots of water. Now, it looks like rain is in our for cast, too bad the sun can't last forever, huh?

I have to let you blogger friends know, I just love blogging! I want to give a shout out to my best friend over at My Little Miracles, who got my interest going on this blogging stuff! She started her blog after reading and checking out her cousin's blog. So, kudos to her too!

I love having pics on my blog. You would think after a few years of posting, I would get the hang of it and where the pics go after you have written everything...but no! So, I wanted to add pics for today and I picked some pretty random stuff, as you can see.

The first pic is my babies enjoying a bubble bath, which doesn't happen often, but here I caught them!

The second pic is me and my babies, at my computer desk, yes this is where I sit and the magic happens, LOL!

The third pic is Brandon in the tub with bubbles on his hands. He doesn't like getting his hands dirty...LOL not very boyish, huh?

The last pic is Brandon with a bowl on his head, hahahah he did this all on his own and I just grabbed the camera.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
