Stuff

We were at the Zoo one day and Victoria kept running. I told her she better stop or should would fall. So, she was running and she fell. I said, "Dang it" and ran to her. I thought she had hit her mouth and I was going to be so mad if her teeth were loose. But she hit her forehead and got some road rash. I felt bad for her and asked her if she was going to run anymore and she said no.

Here is Elizabeth sleeping in her big girl bed. She loves it now and has been in it for a few weeks. Just like Victoria she has to have her animals in her bed. She will choose a different one almost every night. Just have to get potty training done and she will be an official big girl.

Princess and TinkerBell

So, Victoria got her big girl room when she was 17 months old. Elizabeth now has her big girl room at 17 months old. I took some photos of Victoria's and Elizabeth's rooms. Both of the girls have daybeds. I love the design of them and when they go off to college they can take them with them if they need to and have storage under their bed in the drawer. Victoria's room is the room that has the baby dolls and play house. I am not done with Elizabeth's room yet. We still have the crib in there as she is not ready for the bed and the changing table. I am getting the girls a doll house for their barbie's that will be in Elizabeth's room along with a Tinkerbell toy storage orgainzer. I am also buying both of the girls' their own Vanity and I cannot wait for that. I still have a few things that need to be made for her walls and I need to get a shelf. I also took a photo of the girls' hands and feet that my dentist office made of them. I love them so much and love looking at them and seeing how big they have gotten since then.

Riding a bike

It was a beautiful and sunny day. I had put Victoria's bike up because she is too big for it. I asked Louis where Victoria was and he freaked out. I had a feeling she was outside and she was. Her bike was folded in half in the garage. She had gone outside, unfolded it and started to ride it. I was dying laughing because she is just so big. So, I took both girls outside after getting on a coat and shoes. They both rode the bike. Victoria would be going so fast down the driveway that she would fall over and laugh. She was pushing her sister on the bike and they both fell over. It was just so cute to see them both outside riding the bike and enjoying it.

Modeling

I am getting the girls into modeling and acting. I have 3 agencies that want them both and have a few more interviews to go to. I may sign up with two and see how it happens. Victoria is excited about it all. I had Kenny take some head shots of the girls and of course they are just beautiful.

1st Dentist Appointment

Victoria had her 1st dentist visit. She did such a GREAT job. We tried to take x-rays but she would gag. She did not complain about it just gaged so we will try next time. She did not want to touch any of the instruments but she let Annie clean her teeth. She polished them, flossed, a little scaling and then fluoride. Dr. Brett did her exam and she had no cavities. She loved it so much. She uses her 2 minute timer every time she brushes and makes sure to get out her floss every night to floss. She had her picture taken and it is on the No Cavity board at the dentist office for all to see. She got a treat bag with lots of goodies in it and she will have her picture sent to her in about a month with a special treat. I was so proud of her. She is such a wonderful little girl.

Waiting patiently for her appt to begin

Victoria's 3rd Birthday

Well, as of right this minute at 9:51am 3 years ago my little girl was 1 hr and 37 mins old. I cannot believe that 3 years have already gone by. She is such a beautiful little girl and I can just see the beautiful woman that she is going to become. We are pretty sure that she will have a career invloving animals. She has loved them for about 2 years now and loves to watch animal planet and learn about the animals. She loves the Zoo of course. She is a girl who cares about everyone. She wants to know how you are doing and will take care of you if you are ill. She is learning patience and that is hard. She loves to cook and bake with me. If I am in the kitchen you can guarantee that she will be in there with me. She has a lot of chores she does now, set the table, wash dishes, put silverware away, out groceries away, feed the dish, give Hercules water, let him in and out for potty and other daily things...make her bed and put toys away. If someone else tries to do her chore she will tell you that it is her job.

The Birthday Girl

The Birthday Girl and Elizabeth

We celebrated her birthday at the bowling alley. It was so much fun. They had the room decorated in purple and white because that is what Victoria wanted her colors to be. We first did some bowling, ate pizza, ate cake and ice cream, opened presents and then played some games. The kids who was mostly all girls but one boy had a blast bowling. The bowling alley gave her a bowling pin which all the kids signed and a t-shirt.

Her presents she received are:

Mama, Papa and Elizabeth got her a Toyota FJ Cruiser Princess Vehicle

Mamaw got her a Barbie, 2 Playdoh sets, Jewlery box and Bendaroos

Campbell Family got her a Dr Kit

Megan got her a Fancy Nancy Dress Up Game

Arianna got her a Dora Dress Up Outfit

Brooke and Tinity got her a Snow White Doll

Mary and Dimitri got her Lunar Sand and a coloring page

I made her bowling cake and it was a lot of fun but also a lot of work frosting it.

I put her FJ Cruiser together last night and her and Elizabeth cannot stay out of it. They love playing in it and driving it. Victoria will tell her Sister that she needs to be her passenger and Elizabeth gets in and turns on the radio. Today they were in that thing from the time they got up till it was bath time. We played her Fancy Nancy game and that was a lot of fun. She has played with her Bendaroos and Lunar Sand. She loves her Dr Kit. I think today she gave me 500 shots and checked my blood pressure 100 times. She loves to play make believe and I love watching her. Elizabeth loves to be right next to her doing everything she is doing.

It was a great 3rd birthday and I look forward to many more with her.

Sledding and snowmen

Well, as usually it has been snowing here in Tooele. We decided that we needed to make our first snowman and Elizabeth's first also. Elizabeth hates to be in her snow suit and boots but she did a lot better this time. She reminds me of the little boy on Christmas Story...I've fallen and can't get up. We biult it on the deck and Hercules as usual ate the carrots. After we built our snowman we took the girls for rides on the sled. Elizabeth LOVED it so much. We would lay her on her tummy and she would just laugh and smile the whole time. She hated taking turns and letting Victoria ride but she did it. We had a little bump and I would take the girls over it fast and Victoria fell off one time and just laughed. Elizabeth would just laugh when she would go over it. Then we took the girls over to the park for a bigger hill and had so much fun. Both the girls would go down the hill b themselves. We let them race and they loved it. Elizabeth fell off the sled at one point and just laughed. Victoria would try to walk up the hill and would fall down because it was steep and slippery.
We are having them time of our lives with out girls and it is so much fun to watch them grow up. I know I say it a lot but I love being their mom and love being at home with them, even though sometimes it gets stressful. When I do leave them I have a broken heart and cannot wait to be with them again.
