Our house.

Whenever we move I always say I am gonna take pictures and show everyone our knew home. Yeah well we have lived here a year now so I decided to just post a few pics of our house of rooms that I can get clean enough to show people. Nothing too exciting. It is on post housing and my decorating skills arn't that good. But I said I would post pictures a year ago.

Jack's room if you can't tell.

The Princess's room.

I picked these flowers one day and thought they looked so well there I took a picture.

Yeah my fridge is always a disaster inside, out and on top of.

My Rooster Kitchen.

I know i have pictures of my living room somewhere I will just have to find them and post them in another post.

Cheese Face!!

It is so hard to get good pictures of the kids these days because everytime I get the camera out

This happens...


They look so cute playing and then they do what I call the the cheese face whenever I want to take a picture. I try to tell Caroline open your eyes more or close them or just smile normal. It only makes it worse. How could such a cute little girls school photos turn out so horribly wrong. I will spare you those. I was like really photographer you charge 40 bucks and this is what we get really. It's like they don't even make an effort to take a good picture. They are still cute though and I love taking pictures of them! I am hoping his is just a phase and his years school pictures will be better.

Celebrating Caroline's Birthday at Ft. Meade!

On Caroline's real birthday we celebrated with family and friends at the Ft. Meade bowling ally. They have dollor thursdays. It's a dollor to bowl, a dollor for shoes, and a dollor for pizza. It was a good deal and the kids had so much fun. They were super cute bowling and did well. I am the worst boweler ever, but the kids are great!




Caroline and Maggie

Caroline bowling. The kids kept wanting to slide down that alligator thing.

Jack Cheesing for the camera.

He had to do it all by himself.

He had his own specialway of bowling.

He liked to back into the ball to make it go down.

He was so cute.

Celebrating Caroline's Birthday in Texas!

Before we left for our summer adventure we celebrated Caroline's birthday at Ft. Hood. We met a few of her good friends at the pool and then did cake and presents with just family. It was very laid back and very enjoyable. Jack took a nap during the whole thing so it got to be all about Caroline which is a rarity with Jack around. She got a little mermaid barbie and a prince charming and a few outfits for them, a movie (barie and the magic pegasus, I hate those barbie movies.) and she got a big barbie doll house, which I somehow got for free from Amazon. She loves it and it took forever to get it together and I thought I took pictures of it but I guess not. She loves it and was so surprised. It is always easy shopping for Caroline. She is really into Barbies but we mostly only do the Princess ones cause they usually come with more clothing. And it was difficult finding a normal looking Ken doll. I don't know what is going through the head of people who make these things, so we went with Prince Charming. She loves the pool and has become a very good swimmer and has even gotten to practice her swimming skills at the six flags wave pool this summer and then later in the ocean. She loves it and wasn't scared of the waves at all but she was scaring me. Oh to be 5 again...

Jack having fun in the "poo" too.

My second attempt at a castle cake. Hey the pan cost like 30 bucks so I am gonna use it as long as I can. It turned out a lot better this year, we'll see if I can do better in years to come.

My Baby Girl Turned 5!!!

I know this is way late and I know I say it everytime, but where does the time go? I can't believe Caroline is five! She is getting to be such a big girl. She finished Pre-K last spring and will be going to kindergarten in the fall. She loves school and was the teachers pet for sure. Always a good girl and super smart. She is so nice and patient with her little brother. She loves church, swimming, monkey bars, and Rapunzel. She is always telling me she will never cut her hair again because she wants it to be long like Rapunzel. Well whatever stops her from taking the sissors to her hair again. She loves playing with friends and her cousins. She is very social and is a great friend. She gets naughty from time to time of course, but I am so lucky to have such a wonderful daughter. It is hard to believe that she is gonna be a moody teenager one day. For now she is my sweet little girl growing up too fast. I love you Caroline!!

Sibling bonding.

This is generally how I find the little monkeys after I send them to bed. Jack loves his sister. Tonight I went up to give them something and they were in bed together and Caroline was "reading' to Jack. So sweet. And don't you love how Jack is all sprawled out. I love it when they play together. They are the nicest to each other in the bath and have so much fun in there and trouble as you can see from my last post. But Jack has trouble going to sleep and I think it is so sweet that he is comforted by his sister. I hope they love each other as they grow older and not fight all the time, cause we got plenty of that going on already too. But I think they are friends first, and always will be.

Mr. accident prone

This is one of many of a string of injuries Jack has had recently. I often find myself asking questions like how many times are you gonna bleed this week? Or how many food items are you going to dump out today? But Jack already has one scar under his chin from an incident with the stroller and side walk. But within the last few weeks, Jack fell and bit his tongue and was bleeding like crazy everywhere, and of course I had to take him to a sitter that night because I had to drive the youth to Waco. Then about a week later he busted his lip messing around in the car. His hand slipped and he face planted into the shifter. I was like oh my gosh you are bleeding again? And of course that night I had to take him to the same sitter for Young Womens. She probably thinks I abuse my kids. We gave him some popsicles and he was happy about that and the next day you couldn't even tell anything happened. He looked awful though. But then the next night in the bath I run to put cloths away in the room accross the hall and Caroline yells for me to come back and I see Jack holding my razor and his leg is just bleeding and it wont stop. They put their step stool in the bath and got my razor down out of the shower caddy. Those nuaghty little monkeys. I guess Jack had seen me shave and decided he wanted to try it out. It was so sad, he was just like "ouch ouch" I could not get it to stop bleeding, but I am a terrible mother and never take her kids to the hospital or doctor. So I just put a Bandaid on it and called it good. It did stop bleeding and he was fine, but really how much blood is this boy gonna loose. I feel like something else happened between the tongue bite and the busted lip, but I can't remember. He is just so clumsy. Caroline only had one bleeding incident at this age. I do remember her getting hurt a lot though, but not as much as Jack. Now you all are probably calling the authorities on me. But he is tough little boy, and I promise if it is real emergency I will call 911.
