The good stuff....

(stole this picture.. not actually mine.. but thinking about making something cute like this)

So.. We pretty much suck at having FHE weekly.. Mostly because Bryan works the 1-9pm shift at work.. And doing it will out him is not nearly as fun... BUT! He has had a few more day time shifts (hopefully this continues for like ever), and it's been really nice. So yesterday we talked about it, and decided he would come up with something for FHE. So we were saying opening prayer.. And we decided to first have a lesson in being reverent during prayer due to Emily and Hannah being a little silly during prayer. So we had the lesson.. .And Emily really caught on... Hannah understands it mostly too! Anyways after the lesson we played a game bryan kinda made up. We each took a turn acting like an animal and then the rest of the family had to guess it. It turned out to be HILARIOUSLY funny.. At first Hannah was pretty nervous, she isn't use to doing things without Emily and she had to stand infront of all of us (the three of us) and act out an animal. After a few stage fright tries I told her that she need to at least get up infront of us and then she could sit down.. Well.. It started becoming really fun.. And Hannah couldn't help but start acting like the animals she could think of.. She went back and forth from a dog and a cat.. and then decided to also try being a seagull.. It was the cutest thing... I just love my family.. And I'm learning more and more how much I love them... and truly enjoy being a part of our family! So.. I think we need to do FHE more often.. I wouldn't doubt that Emily and Hannah ask to do it tomorrow night again.. it was just soo much fun!!

When is it Enough?

So today I was watching Dr. Phil...... umm yeah.

8 year olds transgenders....

Okay.. Maybe I'm a little "old fashion." But as an 8 year old kid... that wasn't even a word or idea I knew about. And I plan on raising my kids that way. I am disturbed at this whole idea. Sometimes parents need to say "no." Let's get things back on track here... Sometimes "change" isn't the answer.. Sometimes we need to try to go back to the foundations.. Life is getting way to complicated for kids.. Come on!

Sorry. This makes me mad thinking about all the stupid stuff my kids are going to have to go through because we needed "change."

The End.

****EDIT****** ... don't worry I watched this show while my girls were having "quiet time" in their room with the door closed... Don't worry.. I don't want to expose them to that crap earlier then they need to be :-D! End edit!

Potty Trained?

So Emily has been doing really good at going to the potty all on her own. Infact the last time she had an accident was sunday morning, due to the fact daddy forgot to get her to go before he put her to bed. And i was so excited. So today we were at a friend's house and I was telling her all about it, being a proud mommy... Little did I know Emily was making a HUGE mess in her panties/pants/down her legs...etc. Yeah. I looked stupid.

But I promise! Emily is almost completely potty trained. A whole week of HER telling US that she needed to go potty.. I think she might have it down. Yes she had an accident today but she's doing EXTREMELY well..

So we have this froggie that the kids were both AFRAID of at some point.. like MAJORLY afraid. But now they are best friends with the frog. Here is a video of Hannah getting her grove on with the "froggie"

And of course Emily wanted to join in and have herself video taped...

A Halloween Funny.

This made me .. laugh?

Halloween this year...

I can't arrange the pictures how I want them on blogspot.. SO.. I decided to post on my other blog... http://weblog.xanga.com/Mevliysszak

I posted pictures of Emily's Birthday.. Keep in mind.. I completely procrastinated her cake.. and only was left with less then a half an hour to decorate it.. (closer to 15 minutes)

Happy Birthday Emily!!!!

***PICTURES TO COME******

So, Emily had her birthday party...

BUT first we went out to IHOP with my family... minus my sick mom... and had breakfast and a special birthday pancake..

Then we had Emily's kids party.. It went really well.. I think.. I might have had to much planned.. We made crowns, Princess cakes (the cookies broke to much when i tried making them wands), we made photo frames and took the pictures of each kid, we had cupcakes and opened presents..

I got a bunch of pictures... I'll add them at the end of the birthday.. We are probably going to head out to chucky cheeses.. and then have a family party with our extended family at 6... and then the birthday is over :-( So.. Time to go have some funnnnnnn..
