Clara funnies...

These may or may not seem funny now, but trust me, they were funny coming out of her mouth!

A few nights ago I went in to cover Clara up in the middle of the night. She was sound asleep. After I pulled the covers up to her chin she grinned and said "That is certainly sweet of you." I asked her "what?" and she repeated it. I tried to talk to her more, but she was definitely asleep.

Then a day ago she was playing in the yard with her friend, Hailey. They were playing in the kiddie pool and had a sprinkler going. When I brought them inside I told them they were going to take a bath. Clara looked at Hailey and said, "Hailey, we need to go take a bath to wash all this............. water off of us."

Today as we were watching tv she went off for about 5 minutes telling me that I need to buy Lysol because it kills germs better than what I use. She told me that germs spread and nothing kills them better than lysol. I think she watches too much tv?

Portraits!

Watch out, they'll kill ya with cuteness!



June is almost gone??

Whoa! What a month! Nothing in particular has happened, but time is flying. Here is the brief rundown (there may be more on any of the following later...).

This month we celebrated Father's Day and Eric's 30th Birthday. Clara joined a ballet/gymnastics class. We have season passes to the water park. Amelia is still not walking, but she tries every now and then. I am betting she walks in the next 2 weeks. She has also started copying words, her favorite are "no", "owwww", "kitty, meooooow", "ahhh-beeee" (as in aubrie, her friend), and "wah, wah" (from us encouraging her to walk as we hold her hands). For our Birthdays and Mother's/Father's Day combined Eric and I finished the retaining wall and backyard. He also picked up a Kindle and I snagged myself a slick new computer.

I have been continuing to coupon and bargain shop. It is really crazy what I get for free/cheap. I feel like only a few people I talk to understand it, but Eric is very pleased with the new (cheap) me. Not only do I use coupons to save money, but I spend less because dollars have more value to me when I spend so much time and energy to save them with coupons.

I got the girls' portraits done. It has been forever. I'll post them here and try and add pictures to this nekkid blog soon. I have began to dabble in Photoshop again, it is fun and I have major catching up to do!

A question -

When will my 15 month old stop walking on her knees and walk for real?

Today I dressed Amelia in a dress that she could not do her silly crawl/knee-walk in. Ha ha! She would get mad and sit and scream while refusing to move. Now, when Clara was 14 months old and we put her in a dress that prevented crawling, she up and started walking. Not so much for Amelia. Oh well. They say normal kids can take up to 18 months to walk. 3 months baby, and counting. Then you are officially not normal.

Today was a good Sunday, we attended church, were fed dinner by some friends (thanks!), and had our family time (read Mario Kart time). Now if I had only gone to bed early so that tomorrow morning is not the equivalent of a kick in the head. One of these days I'll learn.
