i just had to brag about her daddy

So J got up this morning and decided to help me out more, especially with paris. So he got her dressed and DID HER HAIR ALL BY HIMSELF! (i might have talked him through it a little) NICE WORK IF I DON'T SAY SO MYSELF!

BOW AND ALL! I myself am impressed! Then after a long fun filled day, we came home and he got her into the bath, pj's, a movie on and yep did her hair again! Every night i braid her hair before bed so it's not all tangled in the morning, while i was getting ready for bed J decided to take on the braiding challenge!

She held still and was patient for dad learning! although i have no

clue where J picked up braiding (considering his mom or sis have

probably never braided their own hair ever) Seriously the guy is

pretty good at just about anything HE WANTS TO BE! It really

didn't take him long he did it in one shot, and after it was all over paris

gave dad a hug for doing her hair! WHAT!?! all i ever get is whining and trying to run away!

"HAPPY BALENTIMES DAY"

Apperantly i didn't get the creative gene! faith and rachel's kids both had super cute valentines, poor paris, her mom gives her highlights at 2 but can't figure out cute, original, creative valentines. yes they were the SUPER CHEESY store bought ones, but they were ones you did get to color yourself! Paris, i must say, did have a fabulous time, we hung out coloring these things for like an hour! cute enough for preschool....


So being that we were going for simple this year we went to my sisters house and all the kids helped make peanut butter kiss cookies! my all time fave BTW! Although the kids did actually help a LITTLE i think they managed to eat ALOT more!

Out of a family of all girls (us sisters) these are the only grand daughters!

WOW! paris REALLY loves jonah!!

Paris woke sick but still wanted to go to school so she could give everyone her goodies she made for them! i was rushed so i forgot to take pics before school so i had to make do for when we got home! (don't mind the coolaid smile) she luvd her heart tights!

I *HEART* VALENTINES

THIS TOO FOR FAITH

You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

LOOK MOM NO TRAINING WHEELS

We had quite the family day yesterday! J had the day off so we took Paris to see papa and grandma karen, then we went to peter piper pizza (i swear they know us by name now) always having a blast!

Then we went to the park, we have been telling paris we were gonna teach her how to ride her 2 wheel bike. It was a wonderful day to be at the park. So we got her all geared up






she gets onto her bike and J pushes her around 2 or 3 times to get used to it,



the 3rd time he was pushing her around, SHE told HIM to let go so HE DID! We totally expected her to crash but she took off like she's been doing this for days!



She can't stear for nothing so she would just go where the bike would take her. Then she crashed! I'm yelling "good job, you did it" justin is just laughing as we run over to her. she jumps up with the biggest smile and says "lets do that again!"
PROUD MOMENT!

So we did MANY times, her poor little bike, she has had for awhile, so its a little small for her, those wheels and her little legs were going so fast but she definatly wasn't moving that fast! So we let her do that till we were frustrated trying to explain how to control the handle bars and her not getting the concept, SHE ALMOST HIT A TREE!

so we took her to the side walk where she would have to turn and use the handle bars to stay on course. J didn't want to take her to cement but i insisted...

ya that didn't last long! Rocks on one side and a hill on the other. Wasn't happening! So She says she's getting tired and wants to go play on the play ground, so being the mean mom that I am I told her she had to go down the grass hill and then she could go play. She is a daredevil and is usually good at wanting to do just about anything, and i knew she wouldn't get THAT hurt...so J steadies her

and she's off!

She did great! She even liked after she crashed and landed in mud, it didn't hurt at all! We aren't mean parents i swear, she liked it! ; )



So then jonah and Ikey met us at the park. Yippee I finally have my camera when jonah comes to play! They are together all the time but faith and I have hardly any pictures of the two of them together!

Again great day to be at the park it couldn't of been nicer out side! after playing for awhile Ikey discovered the bike so jonah and him both wanted to ride!




Of course now paris wanted to show off her new talent to Jonah...So we geared her up AGAIN and off she went! Jonah doesn't like being left behind! He went chasing after her!

DAY AT THE PARK.....SUCCESSFUL!

I LOVE MY NEPHEWS

So since i haven't been working i have been able to watch my sisters kids sometimes. I had jonah and ikey come play with paris for a lil while, then a few days later i got to have Ethan. Of course Jonah and Paris just play (& sometimes fight) they can't have enough play time. and Ikers is entertained following them around. he thinks he is just as big! Great boys so fun to have em around.

when i had ethan the whole time he didn't make a sound, i felt like i was neglecting him cause he like didn't whine or cry or want anything he just went about his way playing with toys and following paris around. finally i sat him on my lap and made him talk to me (or made him listen to me talk) so i felt like i gave him some kind of attention. he looked tired so i thought i will go lay him down in paris's room give him his horse he has to have and snuggle him up and see what happens. im used to paris that would laugh at me and just get up and walk out and have to be by me, but not ethan he laid down, paris tried to lay by him tell him "its ok im here with you" but he really didn't want her to be near him. so paris got up and like 5 min later the sweet baby was in slumber land! man so awesome. i text mara i was shocked how EASY he is ALWAYS! love to luv the boys!

SERIOUSLY?!?!

So for any of you that thought you might of had a rough day, let me try and make you feel a little better!
Im cruising along chatting on the phone to justin, going down ironwood, making my treck back from my sisters house. When my car starts to sputter and im on this road that is two lanes going one way and a dirt patch to seperate the other two lanes going the other way. So I have to pull of into the dirt divider because the other side was a pretty steap drop. Which mind you, I just went to driving school and was told this spot that i am in right now, is oneof the top 5 most dangerous spots to be!!!! And right when i pull off, put my hazards on, tell justin im gonna call faith since he was no where close, paris tells me she has to go potty! SERIOUSLY!!! So i call faith and tell her and she starts LAUGHING! Well good thing you think its funny your the one coming out to get me! ; ) So faith gets there and pulls infront of me and its all muddy, I jump out, scared paris and i were gonna get nailed by passing traffic, jump in the car as faith tries to pull out almost getting stuck in the mud! WOW DRAMATIC RIGHT!? And after all that Faith forgot the gas container..LOL! So justin came and met us at the gas station then him and i drove out back to my car.


AW THANKS J! And Faith for the help!
P.S. in my defense my stupid gas gauge doesn't work so i have to track it thru my mileage, and the last time gas was put in the car it wasn't filled up but i was still trying to go to the full mileage!

4 GOING ON 14 FOR REAL!!!

(ok my week was so super busy and i have lots to tell but that will have to be a whole nother night cause tonight i am way to exhausted!) BUT THIS STORY IS KINDA FUNNY!

So I came home after working an 11 hour day, its going on the 5th day of pulling 11hrs everyday, Im wiped out and totally useless! So Justin has been so great this week helping with paris! Tonight he put her in the bath and left to go pick up food and while he was gone i was supposed to get her out. So I went into the bathroom to wash her hair and get her out and i walked in on her SHAVING HER LEGS!!!





SHE I SO 4 GOING ON 14.





She didn't even act like she got caught, it was like it was a nightly thing for her to shave! So instead of yelling at her to put down the razor (it is one that has the safe bars across the blades so you don't cut yourself) I ran to get the camera (just like every other blogger in america!) i got the first one with out her noticing and the following 2 she re inacted for me! It just seemed so typical for Paris to pull something like this!




"First the soap...




then shave real slow"
