Conversations in our house:
Anna: What's Baby Jesus' name? Me: Jesus Anna: No what is his name?

Me: What is your baby brother's name? Anna: "Jesus" (for the last couple of months she was going to name the baby Two Jumps)(she name our Elf on the Shelf DiddlyDo)

Me: Anna quit picking your nose. Anna: But I got boogers in there.

Dad: Let's clean up. Sydney: But I am a princess.

(driving down the rd) Sydney: I smell something. Anna: Its a squirrel.

The girls love to play mommy, daddy, baby, and puppy. There are several times during the day I hear Mommy and I will answer and they say No Sydney is the mommy, you are the baby.

It is never a dull moment arount my house, but I love every minute of it. I can not imagine when this little boy comes in April. Anna will mother it and Sydney will be attached to my hip. Life is great.

We started the Christmas Holidays with pictures with Santa. The girls were not that fond at first, but since then we have been to see him several times and things are looking up. Anna named our Elf on the Shelf "DiddlyDoo" They are excited about him, but forget easily that he is watching at all times. They love to drive around town and look at Christmas lights. This past Friday night, Bay Springs had their parade. After the parade, the girls got to sit in Sants's lap and tell him what they want. Anna wants a blue baby and Sydney a pink baby. Saturday morning we had breakfast with Santa at church. They served snowman pancakes and read the Polar Express to the kids. After pictures with Santa they made jingle bell nacklaces.

Sydney eating her breakfast. Such a cute display of pancakes, they served snowman pancakes with chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons and a piece of bacon for the scarf. They also had marshmellows for the snow.

We enjoyed our Thanksgiving holidays in Liberty and even though we stayed in the road, we had a blast. Its always so good to visit and let the girls be spoiled by the grandparents. It was good to be home and back in our beds, but we sure miss our family and all the great food.

We went to the Fall Festival in Liberty Saturday night.

Look we won a fish.

Showing off their prize

We had a great Halloween and so much fun trick or treating. The girls were super excited over all the CANDY and I had a hard time keeping it from them. Needless to say the candy bowl is MIA now. They dressed up like wild indians and were so dang cute. I am super impressed that they kept their wigs on all night. I tried to teach them hoop and holla like indians, but all they would do was whisper while patting their hands over their mouths. Any other time they would be loud.

trick or treating at Jasper General Hospital. The girls did so good at my work. I was very pleased how well behaved they were. They were a hit with the residents in the nursing home. I have heard all week how "cute them little boys" were

One little indian, two little indians.

Best buds

We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Collins on Sunday and had a great time. We met a couple of friends and the girls had a blast playing. I cherish all these great memories.

Anna about to swing on the rope. She loved it and did such a good job. I was a nervous wreck and was so scared she would fall, but no accidents this time.

Sydney also did the rope swing and loved it.

Lots to catch up on.

We are expecting baby number 3 in April!!!!! It was a surprise for everyone, but such a blessing. The girls have been nonstop and I have been holding on by a thread. Between nausea and fatigue, I feel like I've been hit by a truck. My family is hanging in there though. Aside from the baby news, we have just been hanging out with friends and family. I got a new camera so it has taken me awhile to upload my pictures and load all the new software on our computer. Here are a few pics but stay tuned I have several more to load this week.

My precious girls

Playing with their friends. The scary thing was that there was a 1 year in the pool they were dragging around.

I am not sure what this child was doing, but thought it was cute.

We have been busy over the last few weeks. I have returned to work three days a week, so Anna and Sydney go to a babysitter. I have really enjoyed being back at work, but I miss the girls like crazy. I appreciate my Tuesdays and Thursdays with them and try to spend most of my time entertaining them. We are officially potty trained with occasional accidents, but for the most part they have been doing great. Our pool time is getting close to an end, but Football is near. We have our first Sylva Bay game Friday night and the girls are so excited.

We do our "business" on the side of the road in our princess potty. Anna and Sydney are scared of public restroom (reason unknown other than they flush on their own) Anna found my mascara

Sydney did not want to get up one Monday morning.
