  • Dallas Arboretum

    Natalee took us Ivy girls to the Dallas Arboretum this week. What a wonderful day! It was a beautiful day to be outside, and the Arboretum is such an awesome place. It was so nice to spend some time visiting with Natalee, even if every other sentance was interrupted by two sweet little girls (or by me yelling for these little ones to come back where I could see them : ) What is nice is there is so much grass to play in, playhouses to pretend in, and sidewalks to run in, without worrying about cars driving by. It's a pretty safe place, fairly stress free. Even better...it's only 5 minutes away.

    While we were there, Natalee took some beautiful pictures of my girls. As I've mentioned before, Natalee is a professional photographer, so if you ever need one, give her a call. http://www.nataleeraymond.com/

    We had fun decorating Papa's and Mimi's house for Halloween.  See the fog from his fog machine?  It looked really fun at night.  He had a line down his walkway most of the night.  We gave away 600 bags of candy, and then had to turn away trick-or-treaters.

    Mommy's cousin Wayne came in town from the Air FOrce in South Korea.  Faith and I loved him so much.  We went to Aunt Betty Boops for an early Thanksgiving dinner.

  • Third Day

    I get to go to the Third Day concert with my mom-in-love. I'm so excited!!! She had asked me a while ago, and i forgot. I got an e-mail yesterday reminding me. Woohoo!!! That's a pleasent surprise. I have been hearing on the radio about a sold out Thirda Day concert and was a bit bummed I couldn't go. Well, I'll be there : )

  • Faith used the big girl potty!!!

    Yeah!!! Faith is officially a big girl. She used the little girl potty all by herself. Unfortunately, I don't know when she did it. I have been noticing the bathroom getting stinky. I thought it was from dirty diapers, but no...she went pee pee and poo poo in her little potty. Yeah for Faith. Poor Daddy who was so sweet to clean it out. The bathroom is smelling fresher already : ) Our next step is to get rid of the little potty (because that was nasty) and let her use the big potty. She has been climbing up onto the big potty on her own a lot, she just hasn't actually done anything in it. My goal is to not have to buy any more diapers (except maybe for night time).

  • I can NOT get these girls to take a nap willingly, and it is getting so frusterating. Right now, Hannah is in her bed throwing a tantrum and making her self cry and screaming for daddy. I spent the last hour trying to get them to sleep, with Hannah whining most of the time. She had 3 spankings, and is still struggling. Faith would be pretty easy on her own, but with Hannah throwing tantrums and acting this way, it's hard getting Faith to fall asleep. They absolutely HAVE to have naps, otherwise the rest of our day is filled with whining, crying, and tantrums from Hannah. Any ideas or suggestions? I can't do keep doing this. Hannah is driving me nuts and making me angry. It is very difficult getting anything done (we are moved in now, but our house is a wreck and full of boxes) when I have to spend an hour getting them to sleep, and then they hop out of bed anyway. I need a break!!!
