Happy Days

I'm sitting on our porch and actually enjoying the weather knowing our 80 degree days are numbered.... I just want to freeze this moment. Sienna couldn't be happier in her inflatable pool and Scarlett ( who would much rather dig in the dirt then be anywhere near Sienna and water) could explore our backyard for hours. Since a lot of our time consists of messes and crying and whining, I just want to pause right here!

Darling Divas

So I know some of you have already seen this picture but I had to write about it a little so I wouldn't forget the sweet moments we are having right now. Scarlett is obsessed with sitting on the potty but not actually going. She really loves public bathrooms, which is not my dream come true. I guess from seeing Sienna go she thinks she is missing out. Also, I promised them both a jelly bean if Scarlett went so you know Sienna is always ready to cheer her on... I really wouldn't say we are potty training, more of just "potty practicing". Besides all the potty support, they both have been inseparable. I love hearing them laugh as they are chasing each other through the house or how Sienna will expand on Scarlett's three word sentences. "Yeah Scarlett, I saw the dog too! She was cute!" Oh how I love these little Divas!

I love sunglasses

We love spring!

Oh how I love this time of year! We are having so much fun enjoying the outdoors. It helps that I'm feeling like my old self again and not a sloth... I think the first trimester dulls have finally passed and I'm ready to take on the world (with a little extra weight of course...) I'm 16 weeks now and all is great. I have a dr. appt. tomorrow but the only thing exciting about that is that I'm attempting to take Scarlett with me. That should be interesting. We get another sonogram and find out if its a boy or girl next month. We can't wait! In the mean time we have been enjoying time with family and friends. We had a wonderful Easter this past weekend where we hunted eggs in our back yard and enjoyed some yummy food. The girls had a blast with all their aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.

sprinkler under the trampoline = easy fun!

She loves to take pictures

Her new "oh so amazing" maxi dress that she wants to wear everyday

These girls have baby fever and there is the "baby bump"

The BFFs. They made me feel so good when they were so proud of the dresses I made them:)

The cousins about to start their egg hunt

The little ladies:)

So for some reason I'm looking at my girls and am just shocked at how big they are getting! Sienna is determined to do everything for herself, which is awesome even if it does end with a whole lot of milk/cereal spilled on the floor:) And Scarlett is just a wild crazy girl who likes to pretend to talk on the phone and laugh at everything her sister is doing. We haven't been up to much lately. I'm 14 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good.

We had a great spring break with Hubby home. We took the girls to Seaworld for the first time and they visited their Grammy. They had so much fun! The weather is getting really nice which is great for the park and playing outside but Sienna's lovely allergies keep her eyes swollen and her all itchy. Oh I hope we don't have a bubble girl:) Anyways, I thought I had more pictures from the last few weeks but I realized we have been using Hubby's Iphone more than the camera...

Before I upload pictures, I always have to clear out all the randoms that Sienna's takes. This one made me laugh. I guess she is very proud of her pony collection.

Sea World

This was us feeding the dolphins. Sienna was all excited until she saw the whole dead fish we were to feed them and she said "That's ok Mom. I don't like slimy things..."

I don't know what Scarlett like more, the aquarium or going and standing with other families in the aquarium while they were trying to take their family pictures. She is so funny!

cheese

After I took this picture, Hubby pointed out that I was supposed to be in it. So imagine me on the right:)

The ups and downs of a prego lady

So even though I'm really not far along at all I've really been struggling with the emotional roller coasters, extreme exhaustion and just feeling gross. (I know, I know poor me...) Anyways I'm writing this because one day I will think its the worse day ever and that the girls need their ears checked since they don't even respond when I'm asking them to do things or I have the wonderful "butterflies and rainbow" days where I have the most amazing life and family anyone could ask for. Yesterday was one of those never ending days but today was wonderful. So when I told this to Hubby he said "You should journal." Well one, this is the closest I'll get to journaling and two, I'm sure he wanted me to have written proof that most of the time the girls and I have great days. So here is to the great days when we meet up with friends, the girls take naps, Sienna spontaneously cleans her sister's room and we all sit down happily to a delicious dinner made all by Hubby! Now lets hope the girls get sprinkled with fairy dust while they are sleeping and wake up with smiles on their faces.... Thanks for listening:)

A couple days ago I took Scarlett to get her first hair cut. She was petrified and didn't move a muscle the whole 10 seconds of it. She didn't move from this position until it it was over.

Watch her transform from Justin Beiber back to Scarlett!

How time flies

Ok before I tell you about our latest and greatest, I had to write down this little moment in time from today... So the girls and I were listening to a Taylor Swift song that was about how fast kids grow up and everything changes and it made me very sad to think how fast my girls are growing but then to really get me Sienna stopped dancing and singing and said "This song is about me right? You don't want me to grow up..." Sigh. She is growing too fast...

 Instead of recapping everything that has happened in the last month since I've posted I'll just start fresh:)
I'm nine weeks pregnant and all is going well. All the normal symptoms and my due date is Sept. 22nd. Crazy! We are going to have three kids!! Sienna's fav names so far are Chucky Sue and Peaches. Of course she can't imagine it could possibly be a boy so she refers to her "new sister" sometimes.

Last weekend Hubby sent me and his mom to a spa in San Antonio for our birthdays for the weekend. It was perfect! I loved every moment. From sleeping in late to reading and enjoying a meal without a child in my lap:) Oh I must add the girls have been sick for a while and Mark had to play nurse the whole time I was gone. He had some rough nights but it payed off because they are both back to their crazy "I don't want to wear pants all day" selves. Go Hubby!

Today it was 80 something degrees and the girls and I had a blast outside. It makes me excited about the summer with them at the pool but not too eager for our 100 degree heat.

A few randoms....

She is a pro at opening all markers, which leads to a lot of colored limbs and belly buttons..

"Its a snow day!" Sad I know...

My birthday!

Valentines picture outtake. Oh if you only knew...

Just a quick hi and thanks!

So this is an unprovoked expression of gratitude! I was just sitting here thinking about how blessed I am to have such a a wonderful group of friends and family! As you read this, please know that I mean you specifically b/c you all play such an important role in my and my family's life. I hope today is fantastic for you and thank you for being you!!  (If this sounds cheese and corny sorry! I'm just feeling very blessed:) )
