No nap

This is what happens on Christmas day when you have no nap. You fall asleep at the bar while eating chips. When we picked her up she woke up for a minute and said I wanna watch cartoons. Then crashed again.

I will pick it momma

This girl rocks my world.

In my butt?

We went to the park today. It was a gravel park. Scarlett is a let's roll around on the ground kind of girl. Therefore rocks were everywhere so I wasn't surprised when we getting her ready for a nap and rocks fell from her jeans all over the hardwood floor. When I took off her underwear more rocks fell down. She said, " what was that?" I said,"rocks" she replied, "in my butt?" and proceeded to do a few deep squats to get the rest of them out.
I Love my life!!

The faces

Tangled

Scarlett tried a new do for a bit. She's obsessed with Rapunzel and wanted to try straight hair. Lately at bedtime I've been turning on their humidifier to help with the dryness of the heater. Well after straightening Scarlett's hair on this night, I hear a thud and crying coming from her bedroom. So I run in there in a sleepy stupor. They had turned the humidifier on Rainforest. It was so smokey I could barely see Scarlett climbing back in her bed. The floor was wet, she was getting out of her bed and slipped on the floor and fell. Now because they turned the humidifier on full blast, her hair had turned curly. As I'm asking her if she's ok. She tells me her hair is not like Rapunzel anymore.

My little vampires

We like vampires. We especially like to paint our face white because it makes us look like a vampire. Awesome.

This song gets me everytime

I hear the Savior say

Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

It's washed away! All my sin! And all my shame!

And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead (x6)

Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Funny things

James: mom, when Scarlett is 4, will she have a different face?

Scarlett: when I was a baby my skin was all red, that's why I'm Scarlett.

Ahhh(the relaxing kind)

Kids are spending the weekend with my parents. So I'm spending time relaxing. Wonderful.

Puppy

If I can't have a puppy, I'll just be one.

Rapunzel

She got this wig for her birthday, is just mad about it. She wore it to target a few days ago and I swear to you 2 people asked "is that a wig?" no way. What gave it away?
Ps
Thanks Aunt Jaclyn for the wig our toes keep finding hair in the most amazing places. Remember, I have but one daughter, and you my dear have 2!

Cowgirls

After accidentally scaring Scarlett today I day "I'm sorry can I have a kiss?"
"no, cowgirls don't like kisses they like cowboys, but they don't like kisses!"
I think daddy will sleep well tonight.

Stop growing

This is when I can tell how big they are actually getting. When I watch them sleep like this, I am transported back to the countless hours I spent staring at them while they slept and I did not.

Practice makes perfect

New!

We have a new cousin! Greenleigh Bette joined her family on September 13! Big sister Jeorgia really digs her, and so do I, after all she is JUICY!
