Paint day with daddy........

Abby loves to paint so I got her a kit that has about 5 fish to paint. So her and daddy sat and painted 1 fish, she loves it on the frig.

Babies shot day..........:-(

Ok, like every mother I'm sure I hate and love to take the babies to the dr. I love to find out how big they have grown and all that BUT..................I hate the shots! My poor dr. has had to hear me question the shots and their purpose for yrs now, she tells me the same thing each time and I tell her the same thing each time.......so ultimately I decide each time that it is best they get them. I just don't want to, why do they need so many at one time?????????? geez even grown adults are scared of shots and they shot our children up with 3 and 4 at a time.
Anyways enough of that here is Maddy before the shots.....and another thing why do they call it the 4th month checkup when it is actually the 5th month?
Anyways she is 15 lbs 1 1/2 oz. 25 3/4 in height. She is 50% in weight and 76% in height. Pretty good for a twin huh.

Now on to my big boy........ what can I say but this kid is huge. He may not look it but he is sooooo big! He is 17 lbs & 11oz (WHAT) the child just turned 5 months! he is 26 1/4 in height. He is 75% in weight and 76% in height. He can't fit it his bouncy anymore I had to buy a new chair for him, he barely fits in the swing I swear the thing looks like it wants to smoke while it struggles to swing him! LOL. BUt he loves it. He does not fit in his Bumble anymore his legs are too fat. The funny thing is I love it it is sooo cute to have this little big guy.............He is sooo laxy though he does not want to stand at all, as for Maddy thats all she wants is for you to hold her so she can stand on you..................

Graduation........

This is my good friend Vicki, she was graduating from UCSB............now she is off for her masters. She was top honors and everyone was so proud of her. It was a nice day, very hot. We went to eat at The Yard house after. Now she gets to relaxe a little until she begins her next prgram.

You can't see her that well but she is so proud!!!!!!

Vicki and I after.............then off to eat!!!!!

We're off to see the Wizard......

So with Abby so in love with The Wizard of Oz, she said she wants to do that for her birthday this year. I ordered all the party favors and got her thie costume as well, she can be this for Halloween as well when we go to Disneyland. I think she just looks so cute in this...............her Toto basket with the dog is on back order so she has this little box in her hands with her cat.....LOL.

Three kids sick........are you kidding me!?

So Abby got sick monday night and I tried sooo hard to keep her away from the babies, but that is hard. She loves to kiss them and hug them when I am not looking...............soooo they got sick as well. Thank goodness they love sleeping so I only had Freddy wake up one night at midnight which was ok because I was still up. So I fed him and off to memes he went. As for Abby she was pushing the 102 fever which is the highest she has ever had so I was scared but it came down with some meds............ So needless to say when my mom came down thursday to visit I was thankful I could get out of the house for a couple hrs by myself. Geez it is the pits when your kids are sick, and now my throat is killing me and I have my friend Vickis graduation to go to tomorrow on Fathers Day. I hope we all get better....................

Hangin out.......

Why is it that I always have the need to mess with my babies, me and Abe were laughing sooo hard at them with these sunglasses. Just had to share.......

Abe bought this Marine Corp outfit and could not wait to get his boys picture in it, so as soon as I leave them alone he dresses him up in it and took pictures....... how cute he looks!

Feeding the babies..............

Here they are eating carrots........ it is soooo cute how they always manage to hold hands while they eat, it makes me laugh. It looks like they are tipping over LOL.

My Maddy girl, she always has the surprised look on her face, it is so funny. She is 15 lbs...........with chunky legs, I love it. She really loves to do raspberries with her mouth when you feed her, so you have baby food all over yourself when you are done.........cute but messy!!!!!!

My Freddy boy, he loves to eat, and eat somemore. He opens his mouth so big, he does not want to miss a bite!!!! He is 17 1/2 lbs and he is not even 5 months old. Geez Abby was barely pushing 20 lbs at 1 yr. He is going to be huge, well he is huge!! I just love them to pieces.

Potty training..........part 2

Well, I thought I would let everyone have a update on Abbys potty training......
I must say I thought she would be easy because she is very smart and into pleasing. So, she is doing so great. I have not let her sleep without a pull-up yet though, I think she is still not there yet as far as waking up and going herself.

She goes both one and two in the potty so that is great, you know some kids are afraid of #2 in pottys I have found. But she does it everytime, I worry because she goes to the bathroom constantly so I fear she has my weak bladder. NOT GOOD.

So what was so exciting was that I have yet to leave the house with her just in panties, 1st my thoughts are everywhere we go is far, 2nd if she forgets and there is that kind of mess I will be there alone to clean up and have the babies.....yikes.
But we went to visit my friend Kim yesterday in Lakewood and we met at the park so I knew Abby would be thinking only of playing and not going to the bathroom, plus the drive there is about 1 1/2 hrs. So I put her in a pull-up and of course I just was visiting not thinking about the potty training so she went in her pull-up.......ok, fine.

Then we go to In-n-out to see Kim's sisters daughter Lauren, who I use to babysit alot as a child ( beautiful by the way) so I try and change her in my minivan while Kim and Emily are laughing outside the door because I dump about a bucket full of sand onto our nice clean floor Abe had just detailed.

As most of you know what a freak he is about the cars being clean, yah right living on a dirt road I don't think so..... back to the story. I know I am all over the place with this, anyways I change her there after Kim and Emily hold her and take the other shoe off with a bucket full and sand in it (poor thing) while they are laughing so hard saying "they have never seen so much sand in a shoe". LOL.


So we eat and then the visit was over, it was about 4 hrs long (too short) I wanted to hang out all day, I loved seeing them.

We headed to my aunts in Costa Mesa because I was not about to drive home in the traffic, so we went there and had a visit and ate dinner then drove home at 7:30pm (long day). Well anyways she never went potty again in her pull-up and I just forgot until she called me from the bathroom saying she had gone potty, BY HERSELF! So the rest of the visit she would go in there and go 1 and 2 by herself and then call me even with the pull-up on. I am so proud of her............now to just get the courage to leave the house without the pull-up on and to let her sleep with her panties on. What a wonderful day that will be, until the babies are ready ugggggggggg. I will start sooner with them!!!

Well I know I rambled but thats my story. So I just want to say YAHHHHHHHH
for Abigail, see family of mine she will be potty trained before she is three, we just have one more month to get it down........LOL.

Interesting........???????

As most of you that know me well know I am for the most part a conservative in most views. My arms have just been thrown in the air as far as this President race, I am so confused and just honestly disappointed that these are the runners.
Well I am talking about Obama and McCain not Hilary. I have been told some crazy stuff about Obama by family etc.... and as you all probably have as well seen somethings not great about him as well. SO...... here I am trying to figure this out??????? As far as my own family goes (my husband, children etc.) McCain is very bad for us, he is totally for a right to work policy and that is NOT good for people Pro-Union! So I was just wanting to hear your views on these people.........





get this around before NovOn Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:48:04 -0400, 'LTG Bill Ginn' USAF Retired, forwarded:Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin,presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why hedoesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, Duringrendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all presentexcept those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flagwith the right hand over the heart.'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as takingsides,' Obama said. 'There are a lot of people in the world to whom theAmerican flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys awar-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should beswapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I mightsalute it.'WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president. I, for once, am speechless
