Busy Bee

I have been so busy since Friday. I have not had time to catch my breath. Friday I took the girls ice skating for the first time. Brooke hated it.
Friday night we had a birthday party to go to. It was a fun night. Everybody got babysitters and we had 3 tables of rook going. We had great food, games, and friends. It was a wonderful night.
Saturday I got up and had to prepare for Brooke's party. Brooke had a nice party. You can not convince her that she is not 4 yet. Her birthday is this Friday, but she don't understand that. We are not arguing with her. We are just letting her think she is 4.
As soon as the party was over we got a phone call from some more friends. They wanted us to come eat lasagna and play games. We had a great time again. The lasagna was the best I have ever had. We did not stay late because we had church the next day and I was so tired. When I went to bed I died. LOL I was so tired that it did not take me a minute to go to sleep.
Sunday we had church. As soon as Church was over we went to a Chinese New Year Celebration. Brooke enjoyed it. She won a beautiful Barbie. It was a collectors doll, so it was very beautiful.
We left the Chinese New Year, and went back to church.
Today I feel like I can finally breath a little bit. I feel like I have been a very busy bee. I have a good bit to do today and really the rest of the week, but hopefully I can get some pictures on here soon. Now you know about my fun......but very busy weekend.

Christmas 2008

Brooke's favorite thing that she got. This is a dog from My Twinn . I got it on sale. I never dreamed it would be Brooke's favorite. It is pretty neat. She named it Butterscotch.

Courtney with a housecoat she wanted. She is wearing mine in the picture. I think she needed one. Now I can get mine back. :)

Have you ever saw anybody so happy over Velveeta cheese? LOL It had a CD in it.:)

My two little darlings.

Sleepy heads on Christmas. To early for Kevin and I. Of course we had to get out of our PJ'S for Christmas.

Foot Massage

Courtney and Lauren

Soaking their feet.

The Body Shop (Peppermint )

Friends forever

Lauren spent the night with Courtney. I surprised them and did a foot massage on them. I got the hot water ready, soft music playing, and some pink lemonade. The girls were so happy, and they loved it. I used my Body Shop foot supplies on them. The room smelled like peppermints. The girls said their feet felt wonderful. Brooke had to get in on the action also. She laughed and said that it tickled.
I wanted to soak my feet also, but I was to tired by the time I got through with theirs and got everything cleaned back up.

She Amazes Me

Brooke really amazes me sometimes. I had a Auburn T-shirt on today. This is our conversation.
Brooke= "your shirt says Alabama."
Me= "No my shirt says Auburn."
Brooke looks really confused.
Brooke=" No, Mom. It can't say Auburn cause Auburn says aww like Ostrich and that is a A not a O"
Brooke has a point here. A says AAA like Apple or A like ape.
O says aww like Ostrich or O like Orange. I can't convince her that Auburn says Auburn.

Last night I was asking Brooke what spells no, yes, cat, dog, mom, dad, and sis. She got them all right. Sometimes this child amazes me.

Picking Pecans

Courtney edited this picture for me. I think she did a great job. It looks like she is going to be another Melanie.:)

Sewing

Proud Girl.

Good job Court.

The first thing Courtney made was this purse.

Courtney has been taking a sewing class for a couple of months. I think she is doing pretty good. She just finished a blanket and it is so pretty.
Love you Courtney, keep up the good work.

Brooke's Christmas Party

Putting icing on the house.

We wish you a Merry Christmas

Christmas

This is Brooke's preschool program. The ages are 2, 3, and 4. You can tell the 2 year olds. LOL

Finally

Brooke is finally enjoying baby dolls. She started really loving them about 2 months ago. I ask her what she wanted for Christmas and she told me baby dolls with hair, little pony, and pet shop.
I ask her again one day what she wanted and she said, " Mom, I done told you. Just three things. Those dolls, pet shop, and little pony."
She is so funny. I am so thankful I got those things early. With Kevin's job still not steady we will not be doing as much for Christmas this year.
I think the girls understand though. I tried to tell them that Christmas is about much more than getting.
The girls started going through their toys and wanting to give them to people.
My girls always take good care of their toys. They are not rough on their toys. They went through some of their toys to give away and the toys looked new still.
Enjoy the pictures of Brooke and her dolly. She named this doll Katie Lin.

Art

This is a stick figure of somebody walking on water. :0)

Brooke has been drawing stick figures for a couple of months now. She has also started writing her name and letters. Brooke wrote her first sentence the other day. She wrote I love you. I will have to take the picture and put it on here. Here is just a little art work from Brooke. I will try and add more later.
