New design

I am going to start paying more attention to this blog. Between Lily Lou Designs, Cypress Calling and my own family stuff I have been one busy momma but things are going to get back to SIMPLE soon! I can't wait to share my stories from the past few months: some funny, some heart breaking and some happy. Stay tuned!
Here's a few pics from the farm this weekend.

Slime Time

While we were at the farm for the Fourth of July uncle Chris let the kids make slime. It was so cool. You can seriously tell he is an engineer. The kids thought it was so cool and fun. Check out these pics.

Happy 4th of July-Pics

We had a fun filled weekend in small town, TX at the farm where my grandparents live. Picture a small town, parade with the local high school cheerleaders and boy scout troop along with turkey legs and vendors booth. That is Centerville. We hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th. I know we did. We love going every year to the festival in the small town my grandparents live in. They even had turtle races and a dog show this year. Wow we are moving into the big time now, haha.

Look at these cuties in their outfits Aunt Staci embroidered. My mom made the girls dresses. I am so proud of our talents.

Doing a craft

My mom's booth. She let me put some stuff for sale but I didn't sell anything :(

I am a list person. I create lots of lists throughout the day. When I wake in the morning I write down 4-5 things I want to get accomplished that day. It can be the floors, hanging up wall stuff, vacuum cobwebs........ yup that's one of my list items. Right now in my purse I have 4 lists. It's actually one list but written on several tiny pieces of paper. This is because when something pops in my head I write it down on anything, then I take all those lists and stuff them into my purse. I get crazy looks in the grocery store or Hobby Lobby when I am thumbing through tiny pieces of paper combining the things I need from each list so I don't forget anything. Having to go back to a store the next day for 1 item is no fun especially with 2 two year olds. So that is my crazy list post. Do you have a way to keep my list organized?

Tickle Time

What 5 o clock and no nap does for this kid. He fell asleep playing.

Hello heat!

Well we skipped right over spring and went into summer. It has been hot and humid, which is the way it will stay until October. We have been playing in the sprinkler and pool also hanging out with family and friends. Aaron is completely done in Newfoundland. He flies into Calgary on Monday. Random pictures and a video at the end. Sorry for the crappy picture quality. I have really started to rely on my iPhone for pictures and video It's so much lighter than the camera.

Preschool Program

There is a pretty funny story about that tutu. A mom from their preschool class came in with it to give to another mom. When Lily saw it she grabbed at it and said "my princess dress" Once it was pried from her tiny hands I explained it was not hers and we would have to get hers when we got home. The mom replied and said she makes them as a business and would bring one for Lily to wear in the program..... how sweet is that. Of course Lily is a princess aren't all little girls?

The one picture I have of Preston on stage. He was on the opposite end of Lily where I couldn't see him.

Lily is being sweet to the little girl checking out her tutu.

The things kids will do for suckers! Like stand still.

Goof ball!

Potty Training

No not yet...... well no not really.......... not at all! HAHA I have been so scared to potty train. You see when Ashley was 2-3 years old she was in daycare. Daycare did all the hard work, I just had to reinforce it when she was home on the weekends with me. With the twins I have no idea what I am doing. The other day we will say May 11th but really I can't remember, my way of not dealing with potty training, lol. Anyway the other day Lily was eating breakfast and had the I gotta poop face. So I asked her "Lily did you poop" She replies "nope no poop in dhere" pointing to her diaper. I then asked "do you need to poop?" She shakes her head and replies "yes" So we go to the bathroom I put her on the potty and she poops! I was so excited I think I scared her because she hasn't done it since. Preston of course comes in to see what all the excitement is about and says he wants to poop too. he then sits on the potty, gets up in 2 seconds, then exclaims he needs to turn on the potty (flush the toilet) "all done" he says. That was our short lived potty excitement. I guess I will keep asking if they need to go potty......... I am sure they won't go to kindergarten in diapers......... one an only hope right?

Here is a picture of Preston after he "went potty, and turned the toilet on" he had to wash his hands but didn't want to take the time to get dressed first.

Of course this is so late...............
