New Start

K so it has been forever since I have blogged but once you get so far behind you are pretty much screwed. So I decided to just start from now. Christmas was, I am sure the same as every ones. We opened presents and hung out with family. Too many toys with nowhere to put them. New years eve was good but Trent was soo sick he stayed in out room for three days. I spend the night with neighbors and partied without him. Sucky. But I did check on him and get him sprite every hour. Boys are such babies. And the latest news was Harlee had lice last week. It was the most horrible thing that has ever happened to me. It wasn't even me but I almost died. First of all I was sooooo embarrassed about the whole thing. Second it made me feel like my house was infested with them and for those of you who know me and my OCD I lost it. Third when I lived in Egypt as a kid I loved to hold the stray puppies and I got flees. It was traumatic. I had to sit in the bathroom all alone for 3 hours covered in special shampoo. Plus they bite. My mom always tells me the story and laughs because she said I was crying and yelling for her to just let me die. Girls are such drama. Harlee was so good about everything. She sat on the kitchen table for 5 hours twice while me and my sister Em went through her hair and picked out all the bugs. Never said a word. She rocked! If it wouldn't have been for Em I would have had a nervous break down for sure. But I am glad it is all over and we are back to normal other than the vacuuming ever morning and night, laundry, and checking hair for the next two weeks just to make sure.
Anyways here are just a few pics of Christmas at my house with awesome fam. I will be much better at taking pictures and blogging. It is nice to be back.

Fun at the retirement home. Boo ya!

Us over at my parents having fun! The girls got to hand out candy and see
great grandma Spencer. They love going to grandparents houses! There is always
good food and lots of love!!! If the saying is true you grow up to look just like your mom
I am in luck. My mom is beautiful inside and out.
Trick or treating at my grandmas retirement home! They give out the best candy!
They were all worried about swine flue so we had to were masks! Cute little grannies!

Hudson hated me having a mask on. Every time I put it on he freaked out! Little baby!

Hudson was Dracula! He loved getting dressed and showing off! He is his daddies son!

What in the heck did Trent and I do to get girls that love cheer leading and princesses. You wouldn't think I like it but I do. I just remembered all the girls who were cheerleaders in jr high and high school had no problems getting dates! So bring it on.

Dance Recital

A few weeks ago Harlee and Preslie were in a dance recital. It was so darn funny! These pictures are funny. I wish I had a video of them both. I just loved their outfits. They both had been taking dance lessons from our neighbor all summer long and right before summer ended they had a recital. They both did so good. Preslie was in a class of three and she knew almost the whole dance. Even though it seems like she is not listening she really is. I laughed by butt off while she danced. The song they danced to was a gummy bear song. She loved dancing and in a million years I never thought my kids would love to dance. Trent hates that they love dancing and all cheerleader stuff, but I love it. I just hope they love even just one sport.

Harlee was in a class of like 5 and she was so cute. They danced to a Taylor Swift song and she loved it. She did such a great job dancing. Harlee and Preslie walk around the house singing her songs so I know Harlee loved dancing to them. Both girls ask me to play her CD all the time. It was fun to see what they both had learned all summer. I am glad that they both had so much fun.

First Day Of School

I can't believe that both my girls are in school. It is such a wonderful time in my life. What can I do for three hours twice a week when both Harlee and Preslie are in school? Whatever I want. Well almost, I still have Hudson home but he is usually taking a nap so lucky me. I can get a lot of cleaning done.

I absolutely love spending time with just Hudson. He is so funny. It is fun to just sit and watch him grow up and learn new things. Then when Harlee is in school and Pres is home she is a different girl. She is sweet and kind and listens to what I am teaching her. They are all so different one on one. Not like when Pres and Har are home together it is crazy. I bet there is as much yelling as there is laughing.

I know everyone says it a lot but they really do grow up fast! Enjoy them while they are young!

Fun At The Zoo!

Trent and I took the kids to the zoo a week ago and had a blast. I hate that the zoo has no hippos. They are my favorite animal. I have no idea why but I loves me some hippos. The funny guy in the picture is our neighbor Justyn. He is so funny. When ever we go somewhere and Trent can't go he is my backup Trent. haha. Him and his wife are so sweet to help with the crazy kiddos. The weather was so awesome the day we went. I think that is one reason it was so fun.

Happy Birthday Harlee

Harlee I just wanted to tell you how much daddy and I love you! We are so proud of the girl you are becoming. You have such a special mission here on earth, and we are so lucky to be a part of it. We can't wait to see what comes next. Always remember to be kind to everyone and have GRACE in every situation.

Just some summer stuff.

This was a picture of Hudson after he fell down the stairs. It was so funny because once it scabbed up a little boy at church asked why he had beef jerky on his nose. It really looked like he did. The girls thought that was so funny they kept asking me to tell the story about the boy at church who said that funny thing about Hud. Silly girls.

Poor little guy had this scab for like two weeks. Just as it was getting ready to heal he went and fell again and scraped it even worse. Where do my kids get the clumsiness from? Not me!

Ever since my sister Emily has moved in this is what she does to my girls. She is so funny and the girls love it. But Pres has such thin hair the hairspray just can't quite hold in the poof and curl. But man she looks so cute for those five minutes.

Just a few cute pictures of the kids in daddy's clothes. They love dressing up in his clothes.

Sisters are the best! Who did they learn that pose from? I know Emily. My sister poses just like them. She always looks like she is modeling for a magazine. Work it girl.
