Kisses, Kisses

Mom (Juju) left her car here for a few weeks while she was in Texas. I was cleaning out the center console and found this Katy Perry, Marilyn Monroe RED lipstick, SOOOOOO we all decided to try it on!

PUCKER UP!!

Sadie and Trista

Pre-K/ MDO

You girls are learning so much at

HELP-Hope Enrichment Learning Program at the church of Indian Lake

You know all your letters and numbers, address, phone number. The days of the week, months of the year. You both really love it. Your teachers are very nice and they are getting you ready for Kindergarten!

KINDERGARTEN.....I cant believe I am even saying that! It is so hard to believe.

You both are 43.5 inches tall. You have long legs and GORGEOUS strawberry blond hair. Everyone wants your hair color and wants to know "who colors it" 

You, Sadie, have gone on strike a little with school since now you have caught on that its not all about recess/ fun and games. You actually have to sit still and learn. oh boy... its going to be  along Kindergarten year. 

You both do well in the same class but I haven't decided if I'm going to separate you or keep you together next year. 

Sadie: Your favorite things to eat are carrots, grapes, watermelon, Pancakes and I think you'd eat oatmeal for every meal if I let you. 

Trista: Your favorite foods to eat are also oatmeal, pancakes, cucumbers,blueberries-frozen, you say. You also said you like Ice, Strawberries

Favorite Colors: 

Sadie: Purple, Pink, blue and green and black and grey (my unique child;)

Trista: Pink and Blue

You both love the song: THIS GIRL IS ON FIRE and Aselin Debison's Christmas album.

You know how to navigate your way on the Ipad and our phones better than we do. 

What do you want to be for Halloween:

Sadie: undecided

Trista: Jesse from Toy Story

August 

Be careful what you wish for! Juju asked for them and she got em:)

Thanks so much mom for all the times you kept the girls this summer. I know they can be a handful but they love coming to Juju's house even if they play with Venice and Carrie most of the time. 

What an amazing sister Aunt Faye is too for staying with the gang....dad, gmom and gdad for 3 weeks while mom went to Texas for a break and to see lara.

Grandmom and Grandad you are 98 and 96(i think) in this picture and I know you all wont be around forever but I am glad the girls have gotten to spend time with you and know you. 

Dad- watching you is heart breaking. I miss you, dad. 

Oh, this old house! Girls night out on the Blackburn boat!

Its a work in progress

Chris gutted and put in a new tub shower for our Master. MUCH NEEDED. We finally got the driveway done. Nice and wide and plenty room for the girls to ride their bikes on.
Next is cement siding, windows and floors and we'll be about ready to sell. J/K. Decided we stay here for at least 3-5 more years.  Have had a couple girls nights out and datenights here and there but overall its been a very busy summer jammed packed full of work, MDO, playdates, sonic runs, Swimming, yard work and home repairs/updating.

July Happenings

SADIE 4.5 years

 Sadie and Trista- Hawaiian day at school.

 TRISTA eatin Rice at Thai Rest.

 SILLY SADIE 

Happy July.

I'm going to pretend that I did not completely skip July and go ahead and post pics from July because that's when these were actually taken. 

What is wrong with me??? I just cannot keep up with this anymore. I'm telling you...the older they get the more busy I am. They require more entertainment. And trust me there are days that I completely have to blow them off cause I'm working on the computer or on the phone with a client/lender. 

I sometimes feel guilty that my nose is always in my phone but....it does allow us to do fun things, go fun places and have nicer things:) We have lived at the YMCA pool. You all can swim all by yourself now without floaties and you ride your bikes like champs! 

Wouldcha just look a them!? They are a hot mess and full of all kinds of silly. 

They just got back from a week at Juju's THANKS MOM!! They were in MDO this summer. Hated to do it but it is my busiest time of year and I cant blow work off. And besides its only two days a week. 

Next week, Aug. 13th they start Pre-K and then next year KINDERGARTEN!! I cannot believe it!

Trista you are starting to be more dependent on Sadie. Noticing that you all wont do things without the other one. Sadie you are my little spit fire. You are independent, quick wit, full of facial expressions(hence, pic. above) and you are sassy. Trista you LOVE to sing and I love to hear you sing.  You both dress yourselves, bath yourselves, brush your own teeth and you even know how to separate lights from darks with the laundry....I taught you that. Its a big help too. You both know how to spell your name. You know your days of the week, months of the year. Letters numbers, shapes and colors. Sadie you are good at picking out outfits that match. Trista...not so much. 

I love you girls. I have so enjoyed being home with you this summer.
