HAPPY 95th BIRTHDAY AUNT MARY!!!
My great Aunt turned 95! We had a party, it of course started when Frances and Ansley arrived. Frances did a great job singing Happy Birthday. Aunt Mary looked good. She enjoys having the girls come by and perform for her. It is really sweet how the girls love her. They are always excited to go and hug her. Aunt Mary definitely enjoyed her cake. They put the cake in front of her and she thought the whole thing was hers so she took a little finger dip out of the cake. It was great!!
Here are some pictures from the party.

2 month checkup
Everyone in the house is on the mends. Ansley and BOb have spent some quality time together this week. HE has played Mr. Mom and done a wonderful job at it. I came home to a clean house today. Ansley has learned to be a couch potato. The world is great! She told me today she is ready to go to school tomorrow. I can't tell you how that warms my heart. She likes going to school!!!
Today was James' 2 month check up. He is defintely differnt than his sister. He is in the 90th percentile for height and weight. He is 24 1/4 in length and 13.6 lbs. He is in 6 month clothes. His head circumference is only in the 50th percentile. THe doctor said he looks great. He has a herniated belly button so we will keep an eye on that but otherwise he is perfect. He did not like the shots however. Luckily a I had a bottle on hand.

Growing up I had a plan for my life....to be a stay at home mom and love every minute of it. I love every minute of my job and time I get to spend with my little ones. I couldn't imagine being a stay at home mom. I have so much respect for those that stay at home. It is a hard job. I learned this from my maternity leave. When I went back to work I think I talked Claudia and Kelley's heads off for at least two days. Now that Ansley is at a wonderful school and James is safe with Grandma it makes me love my time at work and cherish every minute with Ansley and James.
Ansley has been battling eye junk the past couple of days. I am convinced she has pink eye. How can she not when her partner in crime..Frances and Thomas had it over the weekend. I just don't get that it is an eye cold. I hate this eye junk. We are going to hit the doctor's office again tomorrow. I feel like the Grant Family right now (sorry Caroline had to be said).
As I have said in past blogs..Ansley loves school. She even cried when I told her today she would have to stay home tomorrow if her eye looks nasty. I thought she just misunderstood me but she really was flat on the floor crying because I said she coudln't go to school. Sad and YEAH!! She has been a sponge lately. She can count back from 5 and is constantly singing songs from school. She even thinks that counting in spanish is fun.."uno, dos, tres, ocho, nueve." Her new saying is
"Whatcha doing guys?" It is too cute!!!
James has really gotten a personality. He just thinks I rule. He is telling us so many cute stories. He still enjoys getting up in the early hours. No matter what I try he still has me guessing how to solve this early hour wakenings. I am sure he is giggling a little bit at me. I am learning that his stomach is not cool with any kind of red sauce, lettuce, or cheese. Unfortuantley, I still thought this weekend that chilli was a good choice. My mom made sure I knew that it was not a good choice. Plus the gas that came from little guy was nasty. The smell brought tears to my eyes.

Where to start. The kids had a really good week. James is finally over his cold and learning the ropes. I am reading his cues better. He thinks I am really funny. He is really starting to smile and talk a lot. He was telling me a big story this afternoon. It was so cute. Unfortunately my video camera was too far away. He is now in 3-6 month old clothes. We went to the doctor last week and he was 13 pounds. He gets his 2 month old check up on Thursday.
Ansley had a great week. I finally got the nerve to cut her off of the pull-ups. She has worn panties all week and for 4 out of 5 days she stayed dry. She even asked to poop in the potty twice. We took her to the Tech game today. She of course loved it!! Within the first 5 minutes she was chowing down on ice cream. She asked to use the potty twice and stayed dry throughout the game. So proud!! I love not changing her diapers. On Friday Ansley's class had a Valentine's Day party. Her class is too cute. The teachers are wonderful and she is learning so much. Thursday morning we were eating breakfast, she turned to me and said "Praise Jesus" and then went back to eating. I am thrilled to know that she loves Chapel and everything else about school. She had a wonderful two year old fit leaving school last week. She flattened down to the floor in the middle of the hallway because she didn't want to leave school (mostly Frances). Kind of funny kind of not when people are staring.

Fun times
So there is a lot of puking in this house this week. First of all.. the cat offically hates me. I am not on good terms with Mya. She just is not the cuddly curl up in your lap cat. She poops beside her litter box and uses the litter to cover it up..on the floor. Occasionally there is poop hanging from her but. But the ultimate nerve twister is in the middle of the night or early morning hours stepping on cat puke. She seems to do it on my side of the bed on the pathway to James. I can't tell you the words that come out of my mouth. It is so repulsive to step on nastiness when all I want to do is sleep. Yet she still exptcts me to feed her in the morning. She knows a sucker.
The second puker is James. He got a nasty cold last Wednesday. It is so sad to see someone so little coughing uncontrollably. When the coughing starts the bottle that he ate comes right back up. All of this puking and coughing has irritated his reflux. It is just one out of control cycle. On the positive side he has turned the corner and is on the mend. He went to the doctor on Monday and now weighs 13 pounds. He is obviously not losing to many calories from all the puking.
Last weekend I finally got some good pictures of the kids.

The kids and I had a really fun but full day. This morning the kids and I headed over to play with Addison. Addison is such a good role model for Ansley. However I think my child may give Addison a nervous break down one day. Addison as her mom says is a "Rule follower." She can't stand it when kids break rules. Then there is my Tazmanian Devil. Ansley breaks every rule plus the ones that haven't been made. Some how they seem to play so nicely together.
While at Addison's...James ended up using 3 outfits along with his sister. James has a terrible cold. Hopefully, it will end just being a cold. The poor little boy starts coughing and can't stop. During feeding time he can be like a live volcano that tends to erupt often. I spent the afternoon in a steam shower with the little man. Luckily he enjoys them.
I have decided to stop buying pull-ups. I am done buying massive amounts of diapers and pull-ups. So last week she wore big girl pants to school. I refuse to go back to them. She is doing good. I am the one that forgets to tell her to go to the bathroom. Bob has learned not to tickle her to much at one time.
Between Ansley and James my washing machine is running around the clock.

25 things about Ansley
Thanks to Heather for such a cute idea..
1. I love my bunnypacey. Yes it is one word. Don't mess with the bunny or tears come to my eyes before you can blink.
2. Running is my passion. I don't walk I run..everywhere!!!
3. Clothes are for the homeless. The moment I get home I strip down and run around the house (Hopefully this will pass before the teenage years hit).
4. I can drop to the floor and become a drama queen when I don't get my way.
5. I love having a brother and giving him kisses (this is why James has a cold, they are already sharing).
6. I can get up at 5 am and sing the days of the week over and over again and then go back to sleep.
7. My favorite songs to listen to in the car are New Kids on the Block "Summertime" and "Santa Claus is coming to town." Both are highly appropriate for February.
8. I love reading books with my Grandaddy.
9. Everything stops for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Pete is my favorite character (hopefully she will grow out of liking the bullies).
10. I love to pretend play with my dad. I make cookies daily.
11. I live off of hot dogs and "peenapple."
12. I think my daddy is a Juke box at bedtime.
13. I prefer to sleep naked at night. Diaper and all!!!
14. I love school buses. I count them every morning.
15. I love elephants but when they are at the zoo close to me I freak out.
16. Grandaddy buys me cookies!!
17. I listen to my Aunt Caroline. If she says jump I say how high.
18. I only have eyes for my Uncle Rusty except when Floyd is in the room.
19. My food groups are Ketchup "tetup" (veggie), fruit, and goldfish (Dairy).
20. I enjoy closing doors in the house.
21. I love bath time. I am destined to be a swimmer!!
22. "My teachers don't have names"

24. I went shopping at target and realized that I liked the "Pink Boobs" (better known as pink boots. That turned some heads, especially since she wasn't exactly whispering).
25. I have been found sitting on the toilet at 4 am.
