I wish I was more independent and alot smarter!

I feel like a horrible mother today. We were invited to a play group with our cousins to exchange valentines today. But we aren't able to go because Joe and I took Olivia's car seat apart to wash it (it NEEDED it!) and we haven't put it back together yet. It was so hard to take apart and looking at the pieces i cant figure out how to put it back together. I feel like I have failed my children. We don't get out enough and its my fault. I should take them places and not rely on Joe to take us. we should just go! ugh.. I just feel so bad that my kids are missing out on a fun time with their cousins all because i cant put our car seat back together.

Wow its been a long time!

When i started my blog i was really excited to keep it up to date, and i just realized how long its been! lol! Things have been crazy around here with the holidays. Olivia is growing so fast and is learning to talk! New words she has picked up on bye grandpa - bye bapah and she says hot dog and uh uh for no, and shoes are eish, and bears are beas. she is just growing up. She has been wearing clothes that i just took out of Zenna's drawers 6 months ago. Its just crazy how fast they grow! Zenna is growing too! she can sing ANY Christmas song from any of the "Christmas classics" and talks so well. (thanks to aunt Jessica of course who she says teaches her everything!) Last night in the car she said something about her nose being messed up and that she needed puffs plus lotion because they work every time. She is just cute! The girls are playing together more and more and for the most part they get along, but most fight are caused by Olivia. ha ha! She may be little but she pushes and pulls hair and hits. she is definitely the aggressor! anyway that's a little update for now. Christmas photos to come shortly. :)

Some cute pictures!

I was just going through some pictures and found this! I love that Zenna is trying to be so sweet! Olivia is just saying, mom put down the camera and save me! lol! I love these little stinkers!

 I love Zenna in rollers! It reminds me of when i was little! we loved having rollers in out hair! She is just cute!

We always feed Olivia naked! she just makes to big of a mess and its easier to just feed her naked then to treat all the stained clothes! besides she is such a cute little naked baby!

Photo Shoot!

We had a pennies gift certificate for 50.00 and took the girls for pictures in there adorable Easter dresses. i was really happy to have that cause we got a lot of pictures and only paid 15.00 out of pocket. I really think its important for us to take pictures! I already am forgetting some of the cute little things my babies used to do! Zenna is only 2 1/2 and is already growing out of things! what! it is really crazy how fast they grow. i stumbled upon this thing one day (if Maddy would quit logging me out of stumbled upon i would have a link for ya but...) anyway, its about when your young you cant wait to grow up, then you cant wait to get a job, then you cant wait to get married, then cant wait to have kids, then you cant wait til they grow up! then you cant wait to retire.. then what? we all want to get to the next step, but what we are all forgetting is how important all the steps are, yes i'm sure it will be nice when Joe retires, but its also nice when my 2 year old tells me "mommy your beautiful" or colors me one of those cute pictures! I don't want to miss a thing! I want to see every new thing my babies do, and be there every minute with them! days like today, i don't want time to move forward! i just love being a mom and a wife! i love where my life is right now. I have the most amazing family! I am just so blessed to be around all these great people. I love you all!

Coupons

I am so excited about my latest trip to the store. Lets face it, were not made of money, but when i saved over 70 dollars in coupons of a 130 dollar trip to the store i was so happy! I feel like saving money by doing things like this helps my family so much! Being a stay at home mom and not bringing in money is hard, but when i can save the money we do have, i feel like im doing my part. :) If anyone wants to learn how i do coupons, let me know. I will teach you! I think everyone could do this!

Finally!

I have wanted to start a blog for so long! I just havent had any time! We are always go go go. It seems like between Joe's 2 jobs, me and the girls dont see him too much, and when we do, there is always so much work to do. :) And free time when i am watching my girls... Whats free time? lol!
