Counting down

Claire

Our oldest little cutie is having fun learning about animals and saying their noises, learning more words and is able to remember colors, body parts and all sorts of objects. I love when she shows how smart she is becoming and only get slightly annoyed when she asks why 5 times in a row! She is still working on sharing with her sister and playing with her instead of hogging everything, as I'm sure that will last for a long time. With better communication she can now ask for things she isn't supposed to have and get even more upset when we don't give it to her, or don't have it to give. My specialty homemade pizza is her favorite meal and she will ask for it all the time, but if we don't have leftovers it is more than just a quick fix so I try to interest her in other foods.

Shay

This little stinker has such a forceful personality and demands things while making eye contact with you so she knows you are listening. I wish the parks were open because she is getting tired of having to be stuck in a seat while we go for walks. She likes to adventure and be the one to lead the charge where we go, but we try to distract her with snacks since she sees her sister getting to come out and walk with us. There have been some cute moments when she is ready for bed this past week and she will go to Claire to get her good night kiss before holding my hand to go into her room for bed time. I think it is so precious!

Chris, Love of my Life, Wonderful Husband, Amazing Man!!

I think of myself as being pretty handy and able to put things together and fix certain things, but I am grateful for a more capable husband! There have been many times he has fixed things around the house, especially right now when we are trying to fix a few things the girls have broken and wanting the rental deposit back. He has helped his parents with a lot of projects like building a chicken house and putting fences up, so I like knowing when we have a house of our own we can do projects. In our search for a new place in Sacramento, we are excited for our life to be moving forward.

Mother's Day

I'm grateful to the husband I have who helps me be a good mother and the two beautiful girls I have who made me a mother. We spent the weekend enjoying the sunshine and matching which is always going to be my favorite thing to do with my family. I got to treat myself to my favorite ice cream, and a spa night after the girls were put to bed, but the best part was making Claire tell me she loves me! I love my crazy amazing mother and I'm glad she is coming to visit next weekend one last time before we both move farther away from each other.
