opposites

Eden has been Miss Opposite lately. If I say up, she says down. If I turn right, she wants to go the other way. Recently, we were having a discussion about how to be polite and that we always say "please and thank you". Eden, said 'NO, we say Thank you and Please!!"

Leave it to her to turn THAT one around!

Gasp!

Gasp! Could it be that I didn't make any blog postings in May??? This blog is now 2 years old and I am amazed at how life in 2 years has changed. I now have 3 'babies' and have started a photography business--which blogging was a definite catalyst into become crazy about photography. It's a struggle to keep up a website for my photography and a personal blog-and now there is facebook, and ya da ya da ya da! Too many things, not enough time!!

So-what has this mother of multiples been doing lately???

I've been trying to find someone to re-upholster my arm chair after being experimented on by a utility knife and a 3 year old. Spending the day hovering around potty chairs and having a party every time someone makes a poppy. Loving spring/summer and so happy to have weeds in my front yard full of wild flowers....grass is so over rated anyway. Can't believe my 19 month old can say the alphabet and count to 20-----I honestly can't remember her being a baby---she just grew up too fast! Spent an hour last night with the twins shaping our bodies into the shape alphabet letters-and laughing hysterically. I am enjoying this new phase-they are such a hoot. Today they were taking a music box, winding it up and playing 'time-out'.

All together Now

This week was Grandma Senter and Uncle Dave's Birthday. Sunday morning we were driving to grandma's and the girls were singing Happy Birthday at the top of their lungs. I commented on how beautiful they were singing (and actually they are very good singers and right on key). Eden says, "Lets sing it for Jesus, All together now!" and began singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Saturday night I took the twins with me to Target. As I was getting a cart a group to teenagers walked in behind us. Eden turned around and emphatically stated, "Welcome to the store!!"

I made a wrong turn while driving last week and when I got on the correct road I said, "Whew, we are on the right road now." Eden says, "Say it with me mommy, We are on the RIGHT Road!". Then we got to Linden Road and I said, here is Linden Road, can you say "Linden Road?"
Eden said, "No, I am not going to say that!"

You have to hear the tone of her voice, I have to keep from cracking up half the time.

Look whose is 1 1/2!!!!!

We are at the 1 1/2 year mark---I shudder to think she will be already 2 years old this fall. Alot....and I mean ALOT has changed in the last year. One year ago she was just barely sitting up, nursing, babbling and totally dependent. Now, she runs, climbs, feeds herself (which she has been very proficient at for a long time-ha), she can count to ten, repeats anything you say, has very strong opinions on what she does and doesn't like--and has personality oozing out of her pores. She makes us laugh all the time and is CRAZY about her big sisters and tries to be like them in every way.




You just can't help but smile when you see those chubby cheeks and gapped teeth!

Easter

My parents and Blaine's parents were out of town for Easter-so it was to Aunt Carmyn's house we went for an Easter Egg hunt with Grandma S and Aunt Shannon. It was a very bright and sunny morning-some of the best Easter weather I can think of in a long time. What a FUN time it was this year with the kids-they totally got into the egg hunt game. A special thanks to Aunt Carmyn for everyone's coordinating outfits




Grandma Senter-I love this picture of her
