First Day of Preschooltighter

Brudder and Sissy walking out
to the car ready for school!


Brudder is really excited... if only
he knew at this point that momma
was about to drop him off!! haha


Last bit of The Fresh Beat Band before
school starts!


My big school boy!

Sissy with her nap mat and back-

pack, ready to go!

My big school girl!

Yes, she is OBSESSED with that paci...

hopefully she gives it up before 6th grade!

Parker "carrying" his nap mat

all by himself! He thought he was such

a big helper!

OMG... I can't believe my babies started preschool this morning! Besides Parker screaming bloodly murder when we dropped him off, everything went pretty smooth:) Kaylie ,of course, ran in and made 5 new friends instantly!! Cody went with me to drop them off and pick them up....I think he was more nervous than I was! I ran out of that room faster than you could blink... I know once I looked back and saw Parker screaming I would feel bad, so I just kept walking right on out to the car:) When we picked him up at 2 his teachers said he totally calmed down and had a great day!! That's what momma likes to hear!

They got these sheets in their folders that tell how their day went... I am really thinking they have my kid mixed up with someone else...haha! Both of them said they sat and a circle and sang songs...and actually slept on their nap mats.... hmmmm! I wish I was a fly on the wall to see if it actually happened. I was a little nervous about them having to sleep on the nap mats because they have never slept anywhere other than their cribs. I mean they see me making them ALL THE TIME, but they have never actually used one before. Apparently, Parker took a 45 minute nap and Kaylie, well, she just wanted to play! She "rested" for 20 minutes!

So overall I would say it was a pretty successful first day of preschool! Oh yeah, and you must be wondering "Sarah, what on earth did you do on your free time??" Lets see... did 5 loads of laundry, went to best buy for 400 millionth time trying to get the computer fixed, went to the bank, TRIED to organize the sewing room, and went to lunch with Cody at Kobe Steak house! No there was no sitting on the couch eating bon bons playing on Facebook!! Haha. Although, Thursday will be here before I know it... so it may be a possibility:)

My New Toy!!!

This is what has been taking up all my time (hence, no blogging!!)...

(Viking Topaz 30)

Mom and I decided that it was time to get our own embroidery machine! This machine does EVERYTHING... It's awesome! I still can't believe we have it:) So basically now, Kaylie and Parker's names will be on everything they own and anyone who is getting married or having a baby will be getting something monogramed haha:)

Anyways, my computer got the blue screen of death, so it's at best buy (hopefully getting fixed). Once I get it back I will update pics from our trip to Houston a few weekends ago! I know yall are dying to see pics of the kiddos...who by the way, will be 2 years old in 6 weeks....aaaaahhhh!

22 Months!!

Holy Moly... I can't believe I am starting to plan a two year old birthday party! Where in the world has the time gone!?! It really is amazing how time flies and how Kaylie and Parker are changing so much every single day. I haven't posted much about what they are doing now, so I will start with that: (Let me apologize in advance for no pics!)

Parker~
-LOVES to draw... I mean he seriously draws these really small circles all over the page (or white board)
-He is OCD about EVERYTHING...way too many things to list!
- Has started with the terrible two tantrums...Not fun!!
- He says Elmo no less then 100 times a day
- He loves to be on the go (wonder where he got that from..haha)
- He is obsessed with being outside and playing in the splash table.

Kaylie~
-STILL obsessed with her blanket and paci (I really hope she isn't 12 and still sucking a paci..haha)
-LOVES LOVES LOVES to stack blocks as high as she can.
-She is finally showing interest in playing with her dolls (talking to them, feeding them, etc.)
-She HATES getting in the car (just started about a week ago.. not sure why)
-She is a tomboy (apple doesn't fall far from the tree..haha)
-She talks non-stop!! Her and Parker have full on conversations... in their twin language!

Oh yeah, and we are FINALLY on one long nap..... 11:30-2!

I am sure there is so much more, but being that it's midnight and I have been sewing for 3 weeks straight I can't think! We are slammed with nap mat orders so the blog has been neglected, but I promise to try and keep it up better then I have been:)

Wedding in Lubbock

Here are the pics from last weekend in Lubbock... ENJOY!
(Sorry, I don't have much to say, it's midnight and I am exhausted!)
These are for you Momma Dickey!:)

My Trash Men:)

This may be the best pic of all time!!!! Cody taking the trash out
so Parker had to get him a little bag to walk out to the dump! haha

Anyone who has been around Parker knows that he is OBSESSED and I mean OOOBBBBBSSSSEESSEEDDD with taking the trash out.... I'm almost thinking he needs to go to therapy for his OCD-ness...haha! He will walk around the house trying to find trash to put in the trash can... he wakes up saying trash...anytime we change a diaper if you don't let him take the diaper to the trash he FREAKS OUT! I guess the good news in all of this is that I don't ever have to worry about his room being dirty, or the house for that matter:)

Swimming in the rain...

This child has NO FEAR in the water!


Parker wearing daddy's hat...haha... he wasn't a huge fan
of the pool until the end when he got brave and started jumping off
the side like sis:)


She literally wants to swim by herself and kept trying
to get out of Cody's arms!


Daddy doing a cannon ball...

..... they thought it was the FUNNIEST thing he has ever done!!

(Love this pic!)

So, today is the first Saturday we have all been home together in FOREVER! We had decided a few days ago that we would take the kids swimming this weekend (not knowing about the rain)... anyways, it was cloudy outside this morning but not raining so we pushed the kids to the pool around the corner! As soon as we are getting them out of the stroller it started to sprinkle...good news is that all it did.... until we left an hour late! It started flooding about 3 minutes after we walked back in our door! Good news is we got to swim and had the whole pool to ourselves:)

Nothing else going on around here... just gonna hang around today and grill out this evening!

4th of July!!

Sis getting the lawn mower out at the party!
(Carter in the background)


Monkey See, Monkey Do... Brudder had to get the other one! :)


My little fish:) I hardly ever get a chance to take them
swimming because she likes to swim and Parker doesn't
so it's pretty much impossible to do by myself, but yesterday
Sissy LOVE LOVE LOVED it... I mean you would have thought she
had been in the water all summer (It was only her 2nd time..haha)


Princess catchin some rays!

My litte trash man... seriously he is OCD about trash! He wakes

up talking about it, then he will walk around the house looking for

any sign of trash to throw away...haha! He was in heaven with 2

trash cans!

I brought our bounce house over for all of the kids to play in...

It was a HUGE hit!

My sweet man... loves to jump!!

Sis watching the bog boys jump into the

pool... I'm sure she wanted to join them!

Big man!

She loved this lawn mower!

So, yesterday we went to Mike and Benita's 5th Annual 4th of July party! The kids had a BLAST! Kaylie LOVES to swim and Parker was just happy to be running around outside... Meredith came with me so we could have a 1:1 ratio! (Cody is in Bryan... so Meredith helped tremendously!)

Nothing much else has been going on around here... just trying to keep these kiddos busy! They're napping now, so I better go get a shower.... I think we will go play at the mall this afternoon!
