Tayla says the darndest things!

Tayla has been saying some pretty funny stuff lately. Yesterday she was in her rocking chair and she looked at me and said, "you know what momma? you are a HOTT MOMMA!!! She kept talking but reiterating how hott of a momma I was and that I was her favorite hott momma." Oh how my self esteem went up 150% even if it was from a 2year old!!! (I can still say 2 because she doesn't turn 3 for 2 more weeks!!!) Then today we were watching Sleeping Beauty. It showed one of the kings and she goes, "Oh no mom that king is wearing girl shoes!!!" She was so put out by it! The king started crying and she goes, "the king is so sad in his girl shoes!" Shaun said maybe it's because he's wearing girl shoes Tayla!!! Then the part where the fairies are sitting at Aurora's bedside crying because she was put into a deep sleep, Tayla goes, "Mom those witches are so sad their crying." she has never seen a witch and never asked about them but it was really funny to hear her talk about "those witches"!!! She also couldn't understand why they were crying when Aurora was just sleeping! This kid kills me. she's always coming up with something new to make me smile!

What the FLOUR

Yesterday Shaun walked into the kitchen to find this....

Shaun was FURIOUS....I didn't know whether to laugh or beat the poor kids! I really did want to do both and if I believed in beatings I would have done both. But since I don't believe in beatings, I had to do the next best thing...I took pictures and giggled while I put the kids in time out!!!!





So I put the girls in timeout and this is Tayla's poor sad face as she's standing in time-out.She was actually crying and trying not to laugh at the same time! That was a first! I tried to put Mylee in timeout at the same time and she took off running.


When I finally caught up to her I was able to take pictures of her covered in flour.

That's right....she was POSING. Stinkin kid. How can you not love them!!!

Oh how I love these two....

I am in LOVE with these two little girls!!!

Lipstick and my two year old

We have a saying in our home that matches Tayla to a T!!! It is: Lipstick fixes everything. This is not an exaggeration with her. If she's hurt, sad, upset in any way shape or form all you've got to do is pull out lipstick, chapstick, lip gloss, heck anything that goes on the lips!!! I'm pretty sure that her arm could be cut off and to get her to stop crying I would just have to pull out my lipstick! Either way, she's stinkin cute and it makes me laugh my butt off!!! I think that Mylee is starting to fall into the same pattern and it kinda scares me!!! Please note that in these pictures I did not put the lipstick on her that she did it all by herself! oh and this was the morning we went to get family pictures done. She saw me putting on my lipstick and went into the bathroom and put hers on so she could be "just like you mommy" it melted my heart!

Halloween Fun

So this year Shaun wanted to go as a hillbilly and he suggested I be his old lady!!! It was tons of fun going to DI to find the stuff for my costume. As luck would have it, Shaun had everything but a wig in his stash of stuff!!! We had a blast taking the kids to the trunk or treat at the church and then taking them to a couple of houses around our house! We went to probably 2 or 3 houses first then put the kids back in the car to go to the trunk or treat. Mylee had all of her candy ate before we got to the church. Then we left the church and by the time we got to the other houses and places we had to go, Mylee had attempted to eat the rest of her candy! When we got to our friend's house, she sampled every little bit of candy she could and dropped about 4 suckers!

Tayla as a unicorn.

Mylee as a teddy bear!
I am in LOVE with these two little girls! Let me just tell you how beautiful and wonderful they are. They make my day worthwhile and the fact that they say the darndest things is a plus! This morning Tayla told us that Mylee had little boobies! and when she told my mom this, my mom said no Mylee doesn't have boobies and Tayla said yes she does but they're little grandma. How funny is that! She also told me that she was going to fly to the Halloween party because she had wings but that Mylee would be stuck walking because she didn't have wings. Luckily for Mylee, Mommy carried her most of the way!!!

The LOVE of Fall

We took the kids to the pumpkin patch yesterday. They had sooooooo much fun! I love to see the look in their eyes and the giddiness when they see thousands and thousands (literally) of pumpkins. I told Tayla to pick whichever pumpkin she wanted that she could have anyone that she chose. She ran over to several and touched and ran to another. I told her big or little whatever you want! This is the pumpkin she chose!

I had to convince her that although she could get a small one she also should get a big one so that she could carve it! This is Mylee. She was sooooo out of it! I tried and tried to get her to wake up and she wouldn't. She fell asleep right before we pulled in and Shaun and I both needed our hands so I layed her in the wheelbarrow!

Man this kid can sleep ANYWHERE! We finally decided on our pumpkins. This place had the BIGGEST gourds I have ever seen before. They were way bigger then Mylee and I'm sure weighed double what Tayla weighs! The pics don't show nearly how big they were! We had tons of fun though! I love fall and pumpkins and the smell of it all! Oh how excited I am to bring up the memories of my childhood as I dress my children up and take them out Trick or Treating.
















These are the reasons I LOVE this man!!!!
1. He's hott!
2. He's strong! look at how he lifts this pumpkin up on his shoulder even though his arm is hurt!
3. He's my best friend
4. He's hott!
5. He loves me and I love him!
I wish I could list ALL of the reasons why I love this amazing man but I don't think that I would have the time or the patience because it would take years to name ever reason! I love him that's what counts!






Mylee was obsessed with not having dirt on the pumpkins. You can see her dusting it off!!! And then she just wanted to play in the dirt and try and lift heavy pumpkins!!!!

daddy...what are you doing?

ok so I just had to share this because it made me laugh so hard. Earlier Shaun went in to pee and Mylee busted in while he was going. He looked over and her head was completely cocked to the side and she had a puzzled look on her face like what are you doing? so shaun said he kind of turned his back a bit more so he wasn't showing himself off to her and also hoping that this would make her want to leave. Instead it made her over exaggerate her side tip and puzzled expression! Oh i can just imagine the thoughts that are going through our 16 monther's head! I love the curiousness even if it is at the most opportune times!

How many people does it take to change a lightbulb

I took this picture today and thought I was going to die laughing!!! Both girls decided they needed to be up on the stool helping daddy change the light bulb. I love how Mylee's butt is just kind of sticking out!!! PRICELESS! so glad I had the camera on hand!

So after they were done with the light bulb, I decided to snap a couple of pics of the girls. Gotta love morning hair! I'm pretty sure that Tayla looks more like a homeless kid in these than she ever has before!!!!

The startings of FALL

Fall is my most FAVORITE time of the year! I love the smells and the look and feel! Fall coming on also means that the SNOW will be here soon! Oh how I just LOVE when Mother Nature barf's her sweetness all over the Earth. It's so peaceful and magical! I can't help but be in awe at how the world works and the wonders of it all! This year we have big trees at our house and I CAN'T WAIT to rack up the leaves into big piles and jump in them with the girls! We've already started bringing out the Halloween decorations, bought the girls their Halloween costumes, and are getting into the spirit! Tayla is going to be a purple and pink unicorn. She looks soooo darn cute in it and I am sooo excited for Halloween to roll around! Mylee is going to be a teddy bear by default! We couldn't find a cute, warm, and decent costume to fit her! Anyways today when we started putting up decorations, Tayla started getting so excited! Here are a few pictures of what we decorated!
