Potty Trained!

Emma is finally potty trained. We told her that when she is completely done we would take her to get ice cream and to get a prize. This is the big day!
Ice cream

Dollar Store. Emma is holding up her preciously earned dollar.


She bought baby dolls. Cost a little more than a dollar but she is way worth it. :) 1 child down, now we just have Nyah to go.



Game Time

Jeremy is also a great big brother. He is more patient than the average teenager. He does however want a break often.
Emma is great at playing games. She seems to understand the concept of taking turns and how games work. Nyah on the other hand is a typical two-year old. She causes havoc where ever she goes. She just wants to mess up the game and throw the pieces. She thinks that IS the game.

For this reason we had to switch to a game that doesn't matter if she flings the pieces on the floor. :)


Big Sissy Playing with the Girls

Jordan is a great big sister.. She is playing in the closet with the girls. They were hiding from Mommy.
Story time. Not sure what Emma has in her mouth but a little gross!

Sitting up

Nyah has decided that she has to be put to bed sitting up. She wants all of her pillows around her and she has to sit up leaning against them. She then wants her bunnies and babies next to her and blankets put over her. Then I have to get some specific book for her as well. Very particular in her sleeping habits. Maybe she is getting a little spoiled since her orphanage days. :)


Cute!

Nyah's hair was fixed like Sissy's. She had a shy moment.:)
Emma! Just cute!

Nyah


Flexible Girls

Emma and Nyah are showing us how flexible they are. Actually, Nyah is so flexible that we could fold her up. She must be double jointed or something. Emma isn't as flexible.

Pretending it is Summer!

The girls had to set up their umbrella's and sit in their folded chairs. We were pretending that it was warmer than it was. This picture shows the girls saying "Cheese" and making funny faces.
Nyah on left and Emma on right.




Nyah thought she and her baby needed tape on their noses. Not sure why but very cute. She walked around like that for at least an hour.

An Attempt at being Domestic

One of my employees brought me a bag of Friendship Bread. I hate to waste stuff so I brought some home thinking Jordan would want to do it. We gave one away and baked our 1st batch. We then had 3 batches. Of course since I hate to throw food away we kept them and decided to make all of it in one day.
It took 3 huge bowls of batter.

29 loaves of bread!
Jordan was a trooper.
It is as good as it looks!
Jeremy laughed at us so much that he built a tower of bread. We gave tons away and froze a bunch. We decided that we wouldn't do this again. Lowe and Behold, my neighbor came by with a starter batch. UGH! Melissa was here and decided that Adam loved the bread so much he would love to do it. Then of course she forgot it. And I HATE TO THROW ANYTHING AWAY! So I made 1 batch and gave her the 4 other starters. I told her that I did not want a starter from her. My attempt at being domestic got old. I am finished with that now. :)





One Red Boot!

Emma loves to wear this rain boot and ballerina shoe around the house all the time. At the time of the picture she would sleep in them, i would take them off and she would put them on as soon as she woke up.


First Sign of Spring...Then it Snows AGAIN!

Emma and Nyah started playing outside when the snow melted away. We were all very thankful for that. Of course it has snowed and rained frequently since this day. The girls love to play together outside.

Nyah Dresses Herself.

Nyah is very stubborn about dressing herself lately.
She thought this shirt was pants.

Once she figured it out that it was a shirt, she thought she was funny and continued to dress herself.

If you try to help her she says, "No do it!" Meaning that she wants to do it herself.




Cute Pics!

Emma and Nyah
Nyah wanted to look like Sissy going to school.
