Feeding the Horses down the street..

You wouldn’t believe it, but we are about 1/2 mile away from these beautiful horses.  SOO, we went to feed them some apples today! We didn’t  have any carrots to feed them..but since the girls are on a apple kick right now..we have plenty of apples to feed them! :>) 

OK, goofy mommy face..concentrating while feeding the horses!  LOL!

The girls weren’t as into it as me…they were nervous about the horses biting them!  FUNNY, i KNOW!

Mommy feeding the horses..there were 3 or 4 that were ready to eat out of my hand!

Trying to get my little princesses to feed the horses…didn’t work!

Noah’s Ark – First United Methodist Church-MOMS children Social

We had TOO much fun at my MOMS children Social, Saturday Afternoon! I was a bit worried b/c  it was not until 4:15, which is kinda late and close to dinner time for the girls.  They had a blast and were all worn out but Happy and cordial for dinner!

Me & my brand new mommy Suit..that’s right..i had to go to Target and get a not so revealing suit..since all the suits i have left are from my honeymoon 6 years ago!

MY BIG GIRL, jumping into 11 ft of water off of the diving board!

She is AMAZING and such a good swimmer now..Ms. A would be soo proud!

 

In the water with a small splash!

Getting ready to go down the slide…

And down the slide she went…

Daddy checking to make sure she was ok!

 

Melody’s little girl Sydney!

 

 

Moms of twins EVERYWHERE!  The little circle of moms to the left is a whole bunch of new MOMMIES with little babies..TOO CUTE!

One of the girls going down the slide!

Having a little snack before we play some more!

The pic my Sam will beg me to NEVER show her Boy Friends! LOL!!

OK, SO PICS..not pic!  Would it be any less appropriate if she wasn’t reading a TWINS MAGAZINE!  I’m contemplating sending this one to twins!  JUST KIDDIN!

 

 

She really was checking out the magazine and pointing at all the other kids that looked alike!  CUTE! 

P.S. Sam has gone #2 on the potty for probably a WEEK straight..and we’ve upgraded her to the BIG GIRL potty..i’m sick of cleaning the little one..and she really likes the big one anyway!

Play Date with my old neighbor Stacey & her kidos!

We had a great time with Stacey, Adeline, & Eliza!  What did we do..DUH, we swam!  What else do you do at the Myers’ House!  :>)

We miss them soo much..but we’re really loving our new house!  It’s soo nice to have youngsters all around us! 

Here are some pics from our day of swimming & PB&J!

 

Hmm..i’m thinking Paul & I need one more..we can easily fit 1 more at the new table!  OK, JUST KIDDING..we have JUST ENOUGH CHILDREN and we’re BEYOND happy with our THREE!  But it WAS funny …

My computer is on the fritz again..so much for a MSI notebook!

So with that..all you get is some cute pics of my girls!

We’ve done a LOT of swimming this summer..so most of my pics revolve around that. 

Hannah is an star swimmer after 4 short weeks of swimming classes..thanks to her teacher Ms. Annmarie!  I look forward to taking the girls next year..and really think having the pool will really help the girls with their swimming skills.

 

Swim Lessons Day 2 of our second Session!

Hannah did AWESOME!  She even shocked the teacher when she told her she could jump off the rock and swim to the side without any assistance.  I think my little girl is a natural.  Hmm..maybe an Olympic swimmer..do they make lots of money?!   LOL!  Just  kidding!

 

This is where Ms. Annmarie was AMAZED..Hannah jumped off the rock..i LOVE this pic! 

TOOK a breath and swam to the side without ANY assistance!  I’m one proud MAMA today!  O yes and did i mention, the girls are being angels at lessons..sitting on the ground with me..no fits, no whining and special candy as a treat from daddy-when they get into the car after the 30 minute lessons.

Swim lessons Round TWO!

Hannah started her second round of swim lessons today..she is really having a blast and learning a TON!  I didn’t get any pics..but tomorrow i’ll try to remember my camera.  This time around we’re taking them during the day instead of at night..so i have to take the twins along with me..which is a bit less relaxing than before…LOL!  BUT, they did really good today & i had Paul stop off on the way home and get some loli pops on the way home to take and give the girls..since Ms. Annmarie gives all her students one, everyday! 

 

Other than that..my parents and sister and bro in law came over this Sunday & we had a great time.  Hannah loves her cousin SOO much & they get along soo well.  I sure hope they stay this close..well, until they hit their late teenage years and start fighting over guys!  UGH..i’m NOT looking forward to THAT! 

 

Here are some pics from our weekend! 

The baby ducks we’ve been watching grow and live down the street in the pond.

THREE DAYS of SWIM Lessons…

Day 1…Hannah did really good..L-R(S,S,C,H,A,R OR R, A!!)

 

All the sweet kidos waiting patiently for their lessons!

The end of Lesson one..Hannah jumping off the edge! 

 

 

 

Day 2 – Hannah did even better

She did really good and did the superman reach & ice cream scoop..not TOO scared despite swimming in the rain! 

Totally using the noodle to swim!

 

Jumping off…Day 2

 

Day 3..an entirely different story..totally stubborn!  LOL!

Hannah Swim Lessons – Day TWO

I know i’m biased..but Hannah is just an amazing child.  She succeeds like no other child her age..she never says no to others(note i didn’t say to Paul or I) and she just wants to please everyone that she knows.  With all that being said..the child is a water baby.  She is my little shining star.  

Ms. AnnMarie(the swim teacher) said she’s doing better on day two, than most do, by the end of a lesson..

Did i mention how determined she is to learn…she begs me to take her out to our pool EVERYDAY when the girls are napping..it’s precious and of course i never say no.  Who doesn’t need a break after unpacking box after box…

 

Hannah with a kick board doing the superman hold with a noodle to hold her up.  I think that she is the PERFECT age to learn to swim..she’s not scared..loves water..and has that determination..

look at those feet kicking..she is a champ!

 

Kicking back to the other end. 

 

 

  

The poor girl is amazing..it was pouring down rain..freezing cold for the poor 34.7lb little girl.  She was shivering..and still did great!

 

She’s going under water like a fish.  I am SOOO PROUD of her!  REALLY PROUD..

 

Under water again..i’m going to have to reward her for how good she has done..working in the water, begging to take a bath to put her head under water…in the pool, etc.

 

At the end of each lesson the jump in..the poor baby was shivering and still did it.  WHOO HOO! 

 

My windows live writer is not working..

And neither is blogger...wondering if my computer is on the fritz. BY NOW i should have had 100 pics added to blogger. Instead i have no blogs and no pics. SOOO, after my sweet hubby helps and figures out what is wrong..no pics..no posts! LOL! Hopefully we'll get this issue fixed soon. Every time i load it says i exceeded my pics..WHAT? I haven't added pics in ages..and there is no way that is correct! Annoyed..to say the least. I have SOO many pics i want to post..about the house, last day of school and Hannah's swimming class. BUT, since this crappy blogger isn't working..you'll have to wait until it works! :)

Have a great weekend...we're done unpacking..so it's all fun now!

Same as Above..  :)

We had a great Year with Ms. Anna….i can’t tell you how much i cried when we were leaving.  She was great with the girls and always told me how good they did and what they learned.  They were also sad to see them leave..i think they really enjoyed comparing who was doing what, when..

Water day- St. Rose 2009 – 5/27/09

Today Paul stayed home with the twins, while i went to school with Hannah to help with her water day.  Lots of parents pitched in and brought something for the kidos to play.  I took in some side walk chalk, my bubble machine, and also had the bright idea of a water balloon toss.  You can see the day in pics..

 

Ms. Stephens chatting with the kidos!  SHE is really the best principal…

The water balloon toss..

 

More water balloon toss..the kidos really enjoyed it..but the balloons weren’t filled with enough water and they were busting that well.  My favorite part, that’ll i’ll remember for a while..i was teaching the kidos how to bust the balloons since we just weren’t making any progress with the balloon toss and threw one at Ms. Cantus feet and WHAM..it totally busted!  LOL!

 

Ms. Cantu looks like she’s having some fun there..

Some Professional balloon tossers or WHAT?!

Samantha busting one on Hannah’s head!

 

Amelie busting one on her own head..excuse the blurry pics..guess i had eater on my camera!

 

Hannah on the awesome water slide..this was one cool slide..i wanted to jump on and slide myself! :)

 

Olivia getting shot at, by the water gun..

 

The line to go up the water slide..

All the girls..there were 10 girls and 5 boys in Hannah’s class..L-R(Samantha, Lily F, Olivia, Hannah & Lilly A)

Playing with my bubble machine!

 

Hannah’s BF Lily F!

Afterwards..the kidos were TIRED!

 

And then they went into the Gym after lunch to do some more jumping and had snow cones!  FUN!

 

Then Back outside for some more play..Hannah did really good sliding down the pole!

 

THEN, Mommy took her for some mommy & me time and we had some YUMMY ice cream!  We’ve never done this before(just the two of us) and it was FUN! 

 

School is drawing to an end..

And i’ve been one crazy mama these days.  From going back and forth once a day to the new house..the keeping the girls home from school for a few weeks to keep that nasty swine out of my house.  We officially move out of this house the weekend after Memorial day, since Hannah will be done with school.  BUT, we are going to sleep at the new house this weekend b/c we just can’t wait any longer.  I’m really loving the new house..but very anxious to sell the house we are living in now.  With the economy the way it is..it’s stressful.  BUT, i know we just need on family to fall in love with this house the way we did 3 years ago! 

 

The girls are really keeping me busy these days.  They are all 3 the cutest little girls ever. 

 

Hannah is growing by leaps and bounds and soo ready to be tall enough to eat without  a booster chair..to be tall enough to stand in our new pool without a float..to be big enough to make it all the way across the monkey bars at school like some of her friends can do now.  This past year has been really good for her..she’s learned WAY more than i ever though she’d learn in one year.  She’s just SMART for her age.  I may be a little biased…but what can i say..she’s my mini me! :)  We’ve been chatting a lot lately about moving and she’s said she’s really ready to move.  She’s excited about meeting new friends..walking to school or riding the bus..starting swimming lessons the very first day of her summer break..and maybe taking dance lessons if we can find a fun place for that.  She’s also really excited about turning 5!  WHOA..i still can’t believe she’ll be 5 soo soon!  She’s not my little baby anymore..despite the fact that i still carry her to bed every night, just as we’ve done since she was old enough to crash on the couch, while watching t.v!  :)  She’s such a sweet motherly little girl.  She takes such good care of her sisters..it’s just precious!  She will help them with snacks, drinks, read them books and even help them say their prayers at night before bed.  It’s just TOO cute. 

 

The girls are growing by leaps and bounds too!  We are soo very blessed to have them and Hannah!  They are so amazingly smart for their age.  They talk in complete sentences, know most of their primary colors, sing their abc’s, love to watch movies and truly have a bond like no other.  I’ve heard people say how the twin bond is so tight and they will be best friends forever..and for a while there, i was really doubting that.  The biting was non stop and hair pulling and hitting and everything else that comes along with a sibling, we’re BAD!  Lately, it’s so different.  If one twin gets hurt..the other runs to her aid..and kisses her, holds her hand and does everything she can to make the other one happy.  It’s amazing.  Just yesterday i dropped Hannah off at school and Sarah & Sam were in the back and insisted in sitting next to each other(which could have had something to do with wanting to sit in Hannah’s seat)..but i gave in and let them.  We were on our way to the grocery store and hear them giggling and laughing and one say to the other ‘Hold my hand sissy…Hold my hand”!  I turn around to check it out and they are just holding hands laughing and giggling.  I’m a tab jealous in a way…i never had that bond they have..i never will.  Not because i didn’t want it..just because my sisters and i were years apart..and never hung out with the same friends.  They are two very lucky little girls to have each other.  And with Hannah being so close in age..i bet she will also be very close to them. 

 

I need to add some pics..but just haven’t had time lately.  I will add some soon.
