Holy Hannah! Its been almost 2 months since I last posted! Im dreading the hours of picture loading this means. There is no way on Earth that Ill be able to fill you in on EVERYTHING that has gone on but the mention the importants. I say "importants" because if I can remember to include them, then they must be important. So....let me think.
Updates curtesy of my facebook status's :)
Apr 26

April 29

My kitty cat died :(
May 1
Back in Panaca
May 2 (This was a rough day)
Maddy lost her binky when I was oot and I had all the spares. I brought her a new snow white doll, "since she lost her binky." She called it her "dream come true!" I told her I was sorry she lost her binky and she could take her dream come true to bed with her. She wouldn't though bc she didn't want to lose it like she... lost her binky but she didn't even cry for her binky and went right to bed! (As of today we are still binky free for BOTH girls!)
Also, watched Dear John with Megan. I didnt like it. :(
Tired of hearing things like, "Dont slip in my pee mommy!"
So Maddy was still incredibly upset in her bed so I went in there. I asked her what she needed and she told me she bonked her head and she needed to say a prayer to feel better. It was so sweet, she said it, with my help, and then laid down, said Goodnight, I love you, and see you in the morning! Haven't heard a pee...p from her since. Although its only been about 5 min.....
May 4
Wow. Internets been out ALL day!! Bummer, couldn't pay bills! Oh well, had a great day! Girls were good, running AND yoga! I know, crazy! I love my mom and sister for keeping the girls so I could go. I'll catch up on fb tomorrow, for now, dreaming of my happy place....
Braided Emmas hair "Just like Maddys."
Soooo proud of my husband today! Promotion board reschedule for next month but he attended a soldier of the month board....and WON!!! He feels so much better about the promotion board next month now. He's amazing.
May 5
Good thing about Emma crawling; I can put her down and she can get what she wants. Bad thing about Emma crawling; I can put her down and she can get what she wants.
I'm putting Emma down for a nap and I can hear maddy in the kitchen getting herself some cereal. Only prob is that this has been going on for a few min. I'm nervous to go out and she what she's really doing.
May 6
Maddys singing "chin up, chin up..." I I think she's seen charlottes web a few to many times.
Its been an entire week wo binkies. Do I dare say were done with them??? Emma too!! And maddy is down to diapers only at night. She even wears panties when were out! Of course we still take 5 changes of clothes just in case. I'm so excited. Those were my 2 big things I wanted to accomplish w the girls before Tom gets back.
May 8
5 kids under 5. Super fun day.
May 9
Thomas Patrick says thank you for giving your all to me and our little girls. There is no test greater to prove how great of a mother you are then to have to do it alone. I cant begin to tell you how much your care and attention to those little ones means to them and me. Thank you for loving us and being MOM! We love you!
Me: I hate mothers day and birthdays and every other day that's supposed to be for "me." it's just a day where my kids can feel how badly I want them to just be good and happy and Emma screams all night long. Maybe maddy will suprise me and not scream all day. She does really awful not getting a nap on Sundays. I think my ...mothers day present to myself might be skipping church so my kids can take naps.
I think this is "who can be the loudest and wake up the most people" day.
I'm watching my brothers teach maddy how to "dance" and it has got to be the cutest thing I've ever seen. Richards playing the tunes on the guitar and Roberts teaching the dance moves. Hopefully, to quote Robert, "I hope she doesn't carry these moves through life!"
Today turned out to be a pretty darn good day.
May 10
Well it's 8 am and emmas already down for a nap. That happens when you're up by 440. Megan kept her for an hour though so I could get a quick nap before she left for school. I love my meggie. Now let's see if I can muster up some energy to workout. Hey! Just realized yoga was tonight! Yay!!
Emma is at the "vacuum the floor 15 times a day bc if it's there she WILL eat it" phase.
May 11
Maddy has been playing with a new friend all day. Early this morning she found some nasty flying bug that she has named...czah? Sounds like see-zuh. She throws him into the air and yells "fly home czah! Flap your wings!" of course czah is dead now but she likes him better that way. He doesn't try to get away. Oh and sh...e says he speaks Spanish to her which is why I can't hear him.
May 12
Wow. What a night. Meggie has her first migraine (ahhhh heredity) and is puking every 5 min (slight, only slight exaggeration) maddys having nightmares :( and who knows what emmas deal is! I'm starting to feel the twinge in my temples...uh oh. Were good though, well get there.
This is ONE of her new things. She sits on her knees and bounces. She also stands up to furniture and climbs my legs. Don't love that part...
May 13
Are you freaking kidding me?! I need an ice scraper to leave my house today?? This is NOT what the weatherman predicted.
Me: "Maddy! Your getting freckles on your nose!" Maddy: "that's cause I play outside." now how in the heck does she know that?!?
Snugglin up on the couch w my maddy watching bandaid. You might know it as Bambi. I love this.
May 14
I can't decide if this is ok or not. I have a happy little crawler attacking me in my bed this morning. She got up at 515 but not before. Not cool with ME having to get up at 515 but it was nice to sleep uninturrupted. Maddy didn't even wake up. I guess it's ok. Well just get started a little earlier than I desired.
May 16
Utah again for Dr
May 17
Saw Letters to Juliet with Meggie. SOOOO cute! Thanks Aunt Karen for keeping the girlies!
May 18
Witnessed emmas first real frustration. Maddy was tormenting her and she screamed, grabbed maddys leg, and 'attempted' to bite her. It was really funny. Poor baby, can't even inflict pain wo teeth!
Migraines decrease motivation. Just so u know. And maddy wants sumscream (sunscreen) on her forehead. She's very comical.
Went to Rileys for a much needed late night chat. I love that girl.
May 20
I choose to pretend I DONT know where my toothbrush has been. Yuck.
Emmas FIRST WORD!
Megan:"Emma?"
Emma:"huh?"
Megan:"Emma?"
Emma:"huh?"
I love that her first word is "huh?" if you call her that's what she says. Everytime.
May 21
Maddy was being a horsey in a cave. Looked like a puppy in a cage to me but whatever. I apparently have no imagination
Maddy LOVES Animal Alphabet
May 24
We played the animal game for fhe tonite and maddy was a horse everytime! It was hilarious bc she's actually really great at it! She bucks and everything. And she sang so cute! Love her.
May 25
Yay!! Thomas gets leave!! Now to rearrange my summer.....
Short run in time. One of my longer runs in distance though! I'm getting better! Had to cut it short though bc the wind makes for painful ears and lots of sand in the face.
May 26
Emma is laying on top of me, yelling into my stomach to keep herself awake. Now I'm all slobbery!
May 27
I'm lonely. I love panaca but when the weather sucks and your whole 2 friends are busy, there's just nothing to do. I can't just jump in the car and get maddy out of the house. It's either IN the house or OUT. And it's to windy to be out. Poor girl. The only reason I would ever say I wanted twins. Someone for her to pl...ay with. :( and being lonely sucks.
May 28
This is a bonfire with Mary and the gang kinda night. Mary, where are you when I need you??I need something delicious.
The girls and I are all feeing icky today. Mostly me and Emma. And I don't have the energy to deal w maddys crap today so she better get with it. To bad she won't. She really makes me nuts.
May 29
Maddy is having so much fun with her cousin. I'm so glad Amanda got to come down and bring her little family to visit.
May 30
My days are always so much better when I get to go running. :) today was a good day! Maddy played all day w her cousin AND she took a nap! Everyone was happy. (:
Making everyone Sunday breakfast! "almost" ALL by herself!!
May 31
Amazing run!! First run ever with no stopping! Not even for 2 seconds! So proud of myself. Now I'm gross though, but good gross!!
Maddy just pointed to the flag in our front yard and said, "that's for my daddy." :) I love that little one.
Utah again. NO KIDS.
June 1
Today's going to be an amazing day! Bills are paid, Kasey made it thru Elis surgery :), getting my phone fixed hopefully, going to IKEA for the first time!! AND Thomas passed the board with the highest score they've had yet! AND he's up for soldier of the month AGAIN. Yeah, he's pretty awesome. My wonderfully promotable husband. :) :) :)
(I never made it to IKEA though)
June 2
I'm home! Had a good, productive day. Still lots to do and think about. But for now I think I'll rock my Emma. She waited up for me over 2 hours past her bed time! The little stink. I have to admit, I was kinda happy. ;)
I like putting the toilet paper on the roll so it gets done "correctly."
I haven't even been home for 12 hours and I'm already so ready to leave again. I could probably take Emma, she's nice to me. Maddy however, is not invited.
Finally got my butt in gear. Laundry, room, unpacking, repacking, organizing, clean/vacuum the car, and a few things I can't remember. Doesn't matter. I'm happy with it. I'll press on tomorrow! Btw, moving in July. :) :( I can't decide if it's a good or bad thing.
Maddys eating straight up prunes. This could be bad.
June 3
So thomas' computer is broken. Now we barely will get to talk to him and don't get to see him.
:( this sucks.
Ugh. Morning is so slow today. I really want to go running like RIGHT NOW, it's beautiful outside. But megans at stupid work and I'm really not a fan of running in town with the stroller. I should probably get used to that though since i'm going to va soon....
I hate the hours of 12-3pm. I would seriously rather undergo extensive, painful surgery EVERY day if it meant I didn't have to deal with nap time.
June 4
It's a little after 9 am and it's already in the 90s outside. It's probably going to kill me but I'm going running. It's now or never. I'm going while the opportunity is presenting itself.
So had I known the ENTIRE family would be at dinner I would have gotten dressed, put on make up, or at the very least, brushed my hair! I even sent maddy out here in her underwear! Really I don't care about my family but there are people I've never met here! (cousins fiancé's family) oh well.
June 5
I had a pretty darn good day. Most of the extended family came down for the wedding this weekend and it's been great to see everyone. Finally got home from the reception. Poor emma has already crashed. She LOVES cotton candy btw, and maddy is SOOO hopped up on sugar, I'll never get her off the ceiling!
June 6
I can't even discribe how much I need a good nights sleep. I am soooooo exhausted! 3 more weeksish, 3 more weeksish.....
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I DO NOT like the movie Dumbo. It stresses me out and I kinda want to throw up. It's awful!! Poor jumbo jr. There is so much animal abuse in this movie. :( I will not be investing in this one.
June 8
Sand Dunes with the Girlies
Maddy loved sleding down the sand and Emma buried and unburied her legs. I think this very well might be their favorite place.
I've scrubbed and buffed and polished and cleaned and I STILL have sand in my eyes, my teeth, my nose, my ears......
Lets go to Utah AGAIN!
June 9
SURGERY DAY!!
June 10
I just wanted to put it out there that I have the greatest family. Caleigh was so sweet so come help with the girlies and my mom and amazing aunt Karen have been right here with me while I'm not feeling so hot.
Congrats to my Sam for FINALLY getting their orders! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait to visit! Be strong, stay safe! Love you guys.
I feel like crap. But 18 days makes me happy! And I'm watching my "feel good" movie so I can "feel good." 3 guesses as to what it is but you should only need one. ;)
June 11
Had a good evening playing with my babies. I love them soooo much! They are such strong, sensitive little girlies. Then I took a pain pill which in turn got me a little to chatty with my mom. Oh well! Good chat! On a side note, I miss my meggie. :( she needs to skip girls camp and stay with me! :)
FINALLY GOING HOME! The trip sucked.
