AHHHH...the girls have been tagged!!!

Here are the rules...post 10 bits of random info. of the girls and tag 10 others. I am SO bad at this, but here goes...
Hannah

1. Hannah LOVES to eat. She eats just about anything and she has a buddha belly to prove it!

2. Hannah really likes to be read to, but only books that have flaps. It must be interactive, or it's a no go.

3. Hannah has an infectious laugh. Her brother can make her crack up anytime.

4. She finally sleeps through the night...most nights anyway. It's been a long haul, but PHEW we're finally there!

5. She loves her nasty old bunny. It's name is Mimsy. Just the other day she decided it was time to potty train Mimsy. The only problem is that I have boys who don't always flush and somehow Mimsy ended up in the toliet instead of on...that was quite the mess!!! Poor Mimsy.

6. Hannah is obsessed with wipes and diapers. She's always emptying the wipe box and spreading diapers all over the house.

7. Her favorite person on earth besides her Mommy, Daddy, sissy and bubba is her Grampy. She gets so excited even when we drive by his house. It is so cute.

8. She goes to "school" on Mondays and LOVES every minute of it. (It is really early intervention at our school district where she gets physical therapy and speech therapy.)

9. She is an awesome communicator, but doesn't have very many words. She does a great job signing things. Her new favorite word is no no.

10. She is a precious angel sent from above. Really, she is an amazing little girl with so much love!!!


Tessa

1. Tessa LOVES to eat and has the same buddha belly as Hannah!!!

2. She doesn't LOVE anything with texture, though. We're working on it. She will finally eat Gerber puffs if they are broken in half.

3. She sleeps as well as Hannah did when she first came home...which is not much!!! She is still up two or three times a night for a bottle. I can't wait until next year when they are both sleeping through the night.

4. Tessa is a very happy go lucky baby until she poops and all ... breaks loose!!! If you don't change her diaper within 2 seconds of it being dirty she throws a fit. I definitely have a PRINCESS on my hands!

5. She has decided this past week that hair bows are a no go. She's just like Hannah used to be...she takes them out and sucks the hot glue right off them. Bummer...'cause she looks so cute in them!

6. Tessa also goes to "school" on Mondays now. We have been told that developmentally she is about 4 months old. She's way behind, but she'll catch up. She has just learned to sit independently.

7. She is a tiny little peanut. She is almost 11 months old. Weighs 18 lbs. and is 26".

8. Her favorite toys are her bubba and sissy. They keep her entertained!!!

9. She does not like me to be out of her sight for one minute.

10. Tessa is another precious angel sent from above. She completes our family...I hope! :)

Yummy puffs...the only real food I eat...and they have to be broken in half...yes...I am a princess!!!

BIRTHDAY FUN!!!!!!

Well, I think I'll pat myself on the back for adding the promised pictures of Benjamin's Birthday long before he turns 6!!! :)

Here are a few pictures of his special day, his pirate party and hanging out with Grampy.

Birthday breakfast...excuse the mess in the background...our kitchen table always looks like that!!!




Power Rangers were quite the hit!!!



Grampy was gone to Florida for almost a month...so the kids were EXTRA happy to see him!!!


What is a birthday without cake and ice cream??? Actually Benjamin doesn't like cake so he was loving his Scooperman ice cream!!!



Benjamin and his preschool friends painting treasure boxes...pre pirate costumes.


Here are the scurvy pirates...practicing their ARGHH!!!

Where does the time go?

Here are 9 month pictures of our sweet Tessa. Doesn't she look like a little angel?


We had a GREAT weekend. My baby boy turned "5"!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Where does the time go??? We didn't do anything big...just had Grampy over for dinner and on Sunday Benjamin and his daddy went tobagganing. They had a BLAST!!! He is having a party this week with some of his preschool friends, so I will post those pictures later. (hopefully before he turns 6 :) )

Here are some pictures of my "Bubs" on his special day!!! Well...I've tried for 2 days to get my memory card to work in my camera and it won't, so these pictures will just have to do for now! Pictures of my sweet boy just before his birthday!

Before he was "attacked by a treadmill"...

After "the attack"...you don't even want to see his back or his arms...BRUTAL!!!
