Happy Thanksgiving!

In celebration of Thanksgiving I asked my family to list 5 things each that they are thankful for this year. And the list goes :

Daddy:

*Being healthy. ( For those of you that don't know Daddy had surgery Monday for a pretty good size hernia. He is doing well, but still pretty sore. Get better soon Daddy!)
*Having a loving family that takes care of me. (To which Paige replied, "We don't carry you. Your too heavy.")
*Having two beautiful daughters.
*Still having a job.
*Having a girlfriend that supports me and my hobbies.

We love you too Daddy!

Mommy:

*Having a healthy, happy family.
*Having an amazing boyfriend that loves me no matter what.
*Having two super smart, super cute little girls.
*Getting to spend time with my family.
*Having awesome friends that support me.

Paige:

*Mom & dad & baby
*Playing games
*Picking my nose (lovely.)
*Butterflies, princess dresses, & clothes
*Biting my nails (nice.)

Aw, my funny little Tator. We love you!

Lillie:
(these are assumed....)

*Mommy, Daddy, & Paige.
*Learning everyday.
*Baba's.
*Clean diapers.
*A big sister who plays with me all the time.

Silly Lillie! We love you too!

Oh What Changes A Day Can Bring....

Yesterday, my little, tiny, (long really) Lillie Pie made HUGE strides to becoming a little lady. She managed to....

drum roll please.....

*Pull herself up on the coffee table to stand up for a good while!

*Say Ba Ba as she was crawling to get her bottle!

*Say Ma Ma!

Yay to my Lil! Your growing up so fast baby girl! What baby says her two first words and stands up all in one day! Good gracious!





On a side note. Hilarious little Miss Princess saw a Gieco commercial today....and asked Daddy

"Is that Jesus?"

"Ha ha. No Paige. That is a caveman."

True comedy I tell ya.

My Best Ed Friend Ever.

Today we celebrate the birth day of a truely amazing man. He left us earlier this year and I am having a hard time putting the words together for this post....I can't express the love I have, and the happiness I feel for having him in my life. He was a wonderful father, and a great friend. As I mentioned in my earlier post, he would do anything for anyone. He will never be forgotten. I will always keep you in my heart my dearest Ed Word. You taught me so much in the few short years we were able to have. You came into my life exactly when I needed you, and I feel like I might have done the same for you. You were always my shoulder to lean on when I needed a good friend, and so willing to do anything to help. You were absolutely nuts too. How many times did I think I would be calling an ambulance to pick you up for jumping off something ridiculous or climbing some cliff! No one is perfect. But you were close, kid. I miss you more than words can say, but I know I will see you again someday. Thanks for everything. Have a great mood.

All Hallows Eve Pictures.....Kandid Style.

We had the most enjoyable experience this evening of trying to get the girls pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids.....I say enjoyable because have you ever tried to get a four year old, a 7 month old, and an almost 3 month old to smile, sit still, not pose, not cry, etc. all at once? No? Didn't think so.....Well we did our best...here is the end product. Enjoy!

Best shot of the girls all together.....I'm not sure what Lil is looking at...

My lovely little Tator and Lillie Pie.

Cute little baby cousin Lyla. Oh and mommy and daddy's hands. Coming out of the grave stones....kinda spooky.

Oh to have a husband...

Last night during Paige's much loved shower time, we had a little mommy/daughter chat. I was washing her cute little head of hair, (which I cut again last night, this time a little better. Even though I promised myself to take her to the salon next time. Oh well.) when I decided to break the news that she needed to sleep in her bed tonight, and would Lillie. See Paige has had the fantastic (I say that with the utmost sarcasm) habit of sneaking in our bed most nights. I must add I am sleep-training Lillie to stay in her room too. And I CAN NOT go one more night with four extra sets of legs and arms kicking and punching me. Nick is a big enough bed-hog! But this is where our bath time got interesting.

She said, "So Lillie and me have to sleep in our beds tonight?"
"Yes Paige. You BOTH do."
"Well how come Nick gets to sleep in your bed?"
"Because we share our bed."
"Well, I wanna share a bed."
"You can once your married and have a husband."

DO AS I SAY NOT AS I DO remember? Then, very surprisingly and totally unexpected, the TEARS started flowing.

"Well I wanna husband!!" She cried.

And I MEAN cried. I couldn't help but giggle, although I didn't want to hurt her feelings...but come on! How often does a four year old literally CRY cause she wants to find her husband! Hilarious.

"Well sweetheart your only four. You will have plenty of time to find a husband. You can't even get married until your at least 18."
"Well I want one now!" (Add the Willie Wonka Veronica Salt voice here.)
"Sorry kiddo. Not until your older."
"Well I will get married and have a husband when I'm 13."
"Doubt it. You most likely won't even be thinking about boys or marriage at 13."

She had BETTER not.....

Understanding.

Last night my lovely cousin Jena and baby Lyla came over to visit. Well really so I could help her make little Lyla's Holloween costume, but that is for a later date....As we were eating our yummy Hawaiian BBQ dinner, Paige decided to play 20 Questions.

Paige: "What is your dad's name?"
Jena: "Robert."
Paige: "Why is Robert his name?"
Jena: "Just because it is."
Paige: "What do you call him?"
Jena: "Dad."
Paige: "Where is your dad?"
Jena: "He is up in heaven."
Paige: "Why is he in heaven?"
Jena: "Well heaven is where people go when they die. They go live with God."
Paige: "Well, my dad is in Hawaii." Paige said this as if to make Jena feel better. Like well, if your dad is gone, feel better cause my dad is far away too. It was so sweet. You had to be there.
