Thank you everyone for making my birthday so special. This has been such a great birthday and I am so thankful I live somewhere with people who take the time to make me feel so loved (and those who don't live around me). OK, enough of the mushy stuff. So tonight to celebrate we went to Tia Rosa's and sat outside with the heaters and lights...it was so fun. Cache was so excited to come home and sing happy birthday and eat some cake. He just wouldn't stop talking at dinner, he made me laugh all night long. I guess now I am one year older and wiser too...well at least older.
Thank you Liz for taking some family pictures of us.
We went to church for the first time as a family of four. Lyla did great sleeping most of the time which was totally unexpected. It is nice to finally start venturing out and socializing again. Although, I think cache got a little sick; he woke up this morning saying his throat hurt and he had little white spots in his throat but after gargling some salt water he seems to be feeling better. I guess we will just keep an eye on him and keep Lyla away as much as possible. We are getting a little more sleep around here but can't wait for the day we all can have a good nights rest. One thing I have learned about our family...we are all very sleep dependent people. We need 8 full hours with a nap (everyone except me; I dont nap)or we are just grumpy short tempered people. Yikes, I wont blame you if you want to stay away for another few months!
3/17/11 Lyla's words: Baby, Bah Bah, Momma, Dadda, Meme (not sure how to spell it, its korean), uh oh, Thank You (this is more of a noise rather than the words but I know what she means when she says it).
1/26/11 Cache asked me today why he couldn't make his chocolate milk move in half. What? You know, he says, so people can go through it. What? I am so confused. He runs to his room to find his little bible book and asks why he can't make his milk move apart like in the story in his book. Oh, I get it now. I told him you have to have special powers from God to be able to do that. Now he thinks God is some kind of superhero...ooops!
1/21/11 Lyla, you are such a copy cat. You mimic everything. I read you a couple of books last night and the entire time while I was reading you kept yelling, "dah dah dah dah" like you were also reading, except very loudly. Today you walked over to the shelf where all the books were and you started yelling, "dah dah dah" really loudly again. Pretty funny.
1/21/11 Lyla has started walking everywhere. She loves her new found freedom!
1/21/11 I asked cache if that was his friend brody we saw in the restroom? He said yes and then said, "well actually his name is beiber." I said beiber? And he replies, "yeah, justin beiber." What? I laughed so hard, how in the world do these boys know who Justin Beiber is?
10/16/10 Lyla has started clapping her hands.
10/16/10 Cache has started telling white lies and I am trying to teach him what a lie is and what telling the truth is. Today he kept asking me a question but I didn't understand what he was saying. Then he says to me, "mom, tell me, tell me, tell me the truth!"
10/15/10 We were getting ready to go out to dinner and I was doing Cache's hair when he looked at me and said, "mommy you look really pretty." Oh you better believe that kid got a big ice cream cone that night!
10/13/10 Cache is on this why kick. Why this, why that? We watched the babies documentary and the ENTIRE movie was why are they doing that, why do they have this, why, why, why!!!!
10/13/10 Lyla will turn to you when you call her name. Today I called her name, she looked at me, and then I said what's in your mouth? And she opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue. Such a smart girl!
10-03-10 Cache told me he would put soap in my mouth if I said stupid again. I never told him stupid was one of those worthy soap in the mouth words (I save that for the naughty words) it is really hard to not say stupid, but I feel like I shouldn't be saying it. Oh how the tables have turned.
10-30-10 Three teeth! Two on the bottom and one up top. Three! No wonder you have been so whiny these past few weeks.
9-07-10 My baby is crawling...everywhere! Bittersweet.
7-06-10 Cache was looking at a Book of Mormon picture book and asked why they all had swords. I tried to explain that at that time there was a lot of fighting. So he asked if when him and Lyla get older they can fight all the time with their swords. I gave up trying to explain that wouldn't be nice and just said sure. Just deal with it then!
7-06-10 I love it how cache always calls Lyla, sweet girl. So adorable!
What is there to know? What you see is usually what you get. I like things to be simple and I am kinda the person who really doesn't like change. I love my husband, I love my babies, and I love my family.
