Star Chart

I dont remember a chore chart when I was younger. I think my mom just told me to do it and I did. This start chart was created by, drum roll please.........CHRIS. 

He thought it would be a good idea for them to see their progress. I am proud to say that after just a few weeks of doing this they now make their bed without being told. The chores include: Vacuuming,

Make bed, pick up toys, pick up clothes and bring downstairs(they even know how to color code in the laundry basket), take dirty dishes to sink, feed rocky and get dressed. 

Chris gives them a treat at the end of the weeh and they love it!

So proud!

Kindergarten Shots and Almost Pre K graduation time.

The big day for Kindergarten shots....they barely even flinched!

 Riding bikes on the library trail! We worked up a sweat. They ride and I run behind.

We are all registered for Kindergarten. We met their teachers and walked to all the classrooms they'll be in, saw where they will eat and and all the fun things they will do. We have decided, (teachers advice) to separate the girls. The more we have watched them interact at home we knew that it would be best. Sadie tends to be a little more bossy and I notice Trista doing more of what Sadie says. 

Sadie, Sadie, Sadie....she is going to give us a run for our money! Oh but her facial expressions and too funny.

So, last week was the big day for shots for Kindergarten. They got 1 shot in each leg and they barely even flinched. I had been preparing them for a month. I told them if they were really good we could go to Sweet Cece's afterward for icecream....they were so we did:)

Cant believe they are going to school in 2.5 months. I have to say it......where does time go?
We live only 1.5 miles from school so I will take them every morning. Not ready for them to ride the bus just yet. 

I was hoping to not have to put them in MDO this summer but decided with work it was going to be best. And they'll get to be with their cousins, which they are excited about. 

A bushel and a peck and hug around the neck!! LOVE YOU GIRLS!!

March 2014

When everything and everyone else around us were having blizzards, the snow cloud was completely missing us Nashvillians! But this particular day we got a snow day and I really hoped it was our last. 

I.do.not.like.the.COLD.

I love SNOW but not the cold.
Last weekend 70 degrees...two days later 20 degrees and snowing!
CRAZY WEATHER!

The girls just spent a week at JuJu's and Papa.. aka.. The Compound- Thanks Mom!

I was able to get much needed CE classes out of the way before my License expires in June. Yes, I have two years to get 16 hours done and I waited till 4 months before to get it all done:)

The girls are still in MDO 2 days a week but have decided to not put them in the Summer Program just so I have this last summer with them before Kindergarten!!. Ekkk!
Cant really afford to keep them out with my work but I have a few fun things I'm going to sign them up for such as Dance Camp in June and Gymnastic Camp in July. August they start school and in October.....we go to DISNEY!! We have/are saved/Saving for our big trip and cannot wait to see Cinderellas Castle, Ana and Elsa, Repunzel, Belle, Arial......oh and of course...Mickey and Minnie!!

Spring is in the air and I cant wait......... 

Bike rides, Snow Cones, cool tub splashing, picnics and lots of sunshine:)

Dothan, Alabama....where a special little lady lives

Dothan Alabama bound......Titi and Uncle Bill it was a quick trip but what a great trip it was to see you both and just relax. We loved stuffing our bellies with boiled peanuts, staying up late looking at all the pictures that you have kept since the day I was born. Hearing all your stories and just spending time with you. You are fighting this aweful thing cancer and you are so strong. Chin up, Stay positive and just take it one day at a time. We love you so much.

 TRISTA, TiTi and SADIE

 WE LOVE YOU TiTi!!

Its was a beautiful day, a little chilly but being in the sun was nice and felt good. The girls LOVED the train track... especially the night before we left when it pulled up right behind Titis house to stay for  a few hours. Your first doc. appointment was followed up with a small sweet treat at Sonic where you HAD to try the Coconut Cream Pie shake!!! Then after Chemo we went and got Chilis(at your request cause you had never been there) what a treat to treat you titi. We loved spending time with you and hated to drive away. Wish we could have brought you back to Tennessee with us:) You have sucha special place in my heart. We love you so much!!!
