My Chocolate Chip Phoebe

So Phoebe can say please, thank you, no, and... cookie, and this is why :) So in the middle of her cookie the other day Phoebe started grinning like a crazy person teeth and all and so of course out comes the camera!
Oh, and yes that is all chocolate on her face. This is Ally trying to recreate the huge smile. She succeeded a little... but cookies always make Phoebe smile... I wonder where she gets that from?

Thank goodness for girls weekend.

So I've been spending afternoons looking at wedding dress websites and checking out awesome cakes and thinking about making a huge painting. I think I'm starting to get desperate. My brain needs to do something creative, I'm needing to sew or decorate or something that uses some of this pent up energy. So, this morning I'm grateful that soon I will be far away from my (adorable, if not very sick) children... yeah, yeah, we all know we love them. Girl's weekend and brain relief and relaxation is not coming soon enough.

Phoebes new words :)

Phoebe has finally learned to say Please and Thank You! I'm thrilled!

Or can she?...
(you'll have to turn my music off at the bottom... sorry!)

listen close ;)

UPDATESo incase you couldn't tell Phoebe's answer to every question was no and as I just listened to now with Phoebe on my lap she again answered no to every question she heard from the computer, then promptly got down "answered" the telephone and talked for a while then handed it to me and said "Tank ou" It's very cute but I guess you'll have to take my word for it :) Oh well :)

Big Sisters and bubbles :)

So The other day Ally and Livvy decided to blow bubbles for Phoebe :) and seeing Phoebe bouncing and jumping around Layna put on her tutu and decided to join in the fun. Here's how it went :)

Easter Time in Arkansas

So this was Easter at our house and yes these are all the pictures I took... So sue me!
Thankfully Ally decorated for us. What do you think? We left all the decorations in Texas even the easter baskets so again Ally rescued us and the girls all had custom made Easter baskets by Ally those are them on the table. Also available online for a small fee :)

Wanna be beach bums
