Halloween costumes

I am so excited that Halloween will be here in a couple of months, so excited that I already bought the girls their costumes. I found some super cute bug outfits. Kaitlyn is going to be a ladybug and Mikayla is going to be a bumble bee! The only bad part is when I unwrapped the ladybug costume it smells like dead fish!!!! I'm not sure how I'm going to get rid of the smell it is hand wash only and satin, I'm afraid of ruining it. One way or another they will look adorable even if Kaitlyn has to go around smelling like a fish hahaha.

Busy Weekend

We had such a busy weekend I'm still trying to catch up on sleep. Saturday we took the girls to the pool on base, it was cloudy and colder than normal. For some reason I don't think the baby pool is heated, normally it feels good when it's hot out but the girls were not having it on Saturday, I don't blame them I didn't even want to go in. It wasn't very hard to convince Zach that his plans had failed because Kaitlyn ended up pooping and we didn't have an extra swimmer diaper. Lets just say I was glad he was the one who packed the diaper bag that day, I was ready to go before we even got there.

Saturday night we took the girls to my friend Lindsey's house, her little boy Devin was celebrating his second birthday. The girls were having fun until about an hour after we got there and then they started crying about everything. I was about to lose my mind until she brought out the cupcakes and that of course made them happy again.

Sunday we spent the whole day near Charleston. My brother Curtis and his family are planning on moving to South Carolina next month and we went to look at house they are wanting to rent. The place was only five minutes from a beach called Isle of the palms. It was beautiful there, we took the girls to the beach and let them run around for a couple hours. The more we take them to the beach the more brave they get, I can't look away from them for a second! Both girls decided they were going to be explores so every five minutes I was pulling one of them away from someone else's beach bag. hahaha little stinkers. We had fun though.

The girls were reading to each other this morning it was so cute. I love it when they get along!

jumped the gun on that one

I took Mikayla to the doctors yesterday because she refused to walk after her shots. I was worried so they asked me to bring her in. The moment the Dr. walked in Mikayla freaked out, as she was throwing this fit he had me set her down beside him and walk away. Mikayla instantly jumped up and ran to me. I was so embarrassed, I felt like the doctor was thinking I had lost my mind. He told me that I didn't need to worry he believed me when I said she wasn't walking before, well thanks doc! why else would I come in and waste our time? LAME!

I can run!

After my car accident in 2004 I was told I may never be able to run again, I had fractured my pelvis in two places and also cracked my sacrum. A couple years went by and I could barely walk around to buy groceries, the thought of never being able to run again had me pretty depressed. I never liked to run in the first place but since it was something I couldn't physically do I wanted to even more. I went to see specialist after specialist who couldn't fix the problem. I honestly believe having children is what has made the difference. I can actually run again and it feels amazing. I was telling Zach last night on our evening run that the burn you feel when your body is aching everywhere feels incredible to me. It's made me appreciate the little things my body can do, I took it for granted before I knew what it was like to not have the ability. I'm just so excited that this week has been the first time since my accident I have felt almost whole again.

Good news

The deployment list was finally posted today and as of right now Zach's name is not on it!! It is the first time I have felt like he really has a chance of not deploying to Iraq next month. I'm excited for Zach to have the chance to continue bonding with our girls, they are so cute together.

Shark attack

The girls have been growing like weeds so naturally their footsie pajamas have gotten too small. I asked my mom to keep a look out for some more light weight footsie pajamas in a bigger size, and surprise, a week later they were sent to the girls in a package (Such a nice Grandma). Anyway the pajamas are adorable but one in particular caught my attention, It's green and has sharks all over it. For some reason Kaitlyn always ends up wearing the green shark jammies and the same day she wore them she started biting Mikayla. Maybe it's just me but I swear the PJ's are not a good influence on her because she hasn't stopped biting since the day we received those shark pajamas. They need to come with a warning label!!! hahaha!!! Kidding, well kind of, Kaitlyn is no longer allowed to wear the shark pajamas because I can't stop myself from thinking she is always up to no good!
