Sam & Tammy

Kyla lost her first tooth today! She asked me to pull her tooth out after it had been wiggly for almost a week. She was very brave.

Here comes the tooth fairy…
I’m going to need a tooth fairy budget.

After praying with my girls for the night, Shani says a quick prayer for daddy not to [...]

Kyla, Brooke and Ella participated in their ballet school’s Spring show.
Kyla and Brooke were baby bees.

Kyla did very well, I’m so proud of her.

Kyla front center, Brooke second row left.

Tada! (and that’s only half the “bees” that were on the stage)

Ella was a pirate. A very pretty one.

Har! Har!

Julia and I :

Both flirty and coy.

I’m observant.

She’s a conversation starter.

Quiet.

Speaks her mind.

Shy.

Outgoing.

Both wild and crazy.

Both enjoy a moment of quiet.

Both enjoy: beaches, rain, sunshine, cute little babies, kittens, food, drinks, dancing, and guys…of course.

I miss you!!!

The other day Shani got an inspiration to make a card for Boo. Today she wanted me to make sure it’s in a safe place where she can find it to give to Boo when she visits.
Shani: Mommy how you write “Boo”?
Me: B-O-O.  Did you write it Shani?
Shani: Yes. B-O-O-O
Me: just two “o”s Shani.
Shani: But [...]

The birthday girls!

Shani: I’m three now. My friends, Carly, Violet and the Nichols came to my party. We danced and played games. I had mermaids, sand, water, a coconut tree, and 2 dolphins on my cake. Opening my presents was my favorite part! I like my barbie, Selina.

Kyla: [...]

For the last month I was trying to explain to Shani that she would be three soon, but she thought it wasn’t fair that Kyla was turning five and she was only turning 3. If someone said “Shani, you’ll be three soon!” she’d always respond with “no five. I’ll be five soon”. A week before [...]
