Two-Lip(s) Festival

We went to the Tulip Festival, but before we left, I asked Bailey to go get her shoes out of my bathroom, and this is what she brought me.

I laughed for like 10 minutes and she just had no idea what was so funny.

Chloe waiving bye-bye,.. or maybe it's Hi,.. either way,.. it's WAY stinkin cute!

And MAN did I have fun doing Bailey's hair!!!

The annual kissing cousins picture, that hopefully will stop being an annual tradition because after a few more years, this will be REALLY inappropriate.

Chloe smudge on the camera lens makes for sweet pictures.

Man,.. I love these two. They are a RIOT these days. Chloe is totally crawling(army style) and she is going to keep me on my toes for a few years, and although Bailey is getting bigger, her attitude is too,.. I didn't think it was possible. Is it bad that I tell my kids, "It's a good thing they are super cute"?

So the other night Peter had a little church meeting at our house, and I didn't want to be in the way, so we went and ran some errands. DI, and then to Roberts. Well I was taking my sweet time, and wondering up and down the isles, Bailey was having a BLAST in the kids crafts section, and I was antsy to see other stuff and dream up some good projects. So a wondering we went.

I kept hearing this mom yelling at her kids,.. really not nice,.. horrible things. Which made me look,.... and call me all Judgy and stuff,.. but she was a TOTAL Meth Head,.. rotten teeth and all. (just trust me on this one) So then I was REALLY watching her,.. mostly her kids,.. cause they were interacting with my kids and it kinda freaked me out a little. So I hear plastic bags ruffling around and the whole situation just really left a yucky feeling in the bottomLESS pit of my chubby tummy. So I grabbed Bailey, put her IN my cart and kinda hid out, until this chick passes me, I looked in her cart and could see a Kricket Machine covered in a K-Mart bag,.... then my heart started really racing, and I KNEW this lady was shop lifting,.. so I am walking behind her towards the front of the store,..... On our left,.. a cashier with her back to us, and then a Manager walks RIGHT in front of this chick, looks at her with a questioning eye, and turns to open a door. As soon as she turned to open the door, Meth-Mamma BOOKS it for the front door,..

I am watching all of this from behind,.. I saw Meth-Mamma's head follow the Manager and when she thought she was in the clear, B-lined it for the door.

I FREAK OUT! and start running and screaming,.. SHE'S SHOPLIFTING A KRICKET!!!!"

The manager chases her down before she got through the second set of doors, and asks to see her receipt. I kinda calmed down and went to check out, and am Eves-dropping and her her TOTAL B.S. story about how she had talked to some other employee, and the Mangaer was like,.. ummm,.. it's just us 3 here, and none of us talked to you. Well I am walking out by now and turn and said,.. "Would you like me to interject here?"

The Manager was like,.. "Yeah!" So I continue,....

"I totally saw you stuffing that K-Mart Bag over this Machine,.... what do you think you are doing? You are showing EVERY Classic sign of shoplifting,.... I heard you yelling at your kids, and at your mom that you needed help with this, and you are TOTALLY making up this story about how you are exchanging this,.. it's pretty clear cut to all of us you are trying to steal this."

-Meth-Mamma tries to interject-

-OH NO SHE DIDN'T!- snap snap!

Then I really went off

"Who do you think you are? Why would you think for one second it would be okay to walk into this store and pick something worth $400(I don't really know how much they are,.. except for I can't afford it!) and walk out with it,.. WITH your kids!? What a winner! It's people like you, that make people like me, not be able to afford these things, or make it so difficult to return something I actually paid for, that I don't buy it!! This is ridiculous! Your Story is fishy, your face is fishy,...who do you think you are!?

Then the store manager asked me if I saw her actually put it in her cart,......

No,.. I had not. (I wish I had lied)

The manager said,.. there is nothing I can do.

Meth-Mamma walks out with a FREE Kricket.

So much for THAT!

frustration on SO many levels. GRRRRRRR.

Just a typical Friday Night.

I know you are DYING to know what I did Friday Night,.. and I guess I will tell you.

It started with the ever exciting Scrubbing of toilets, and floors, and baseboards,.. (I have caught a tinge of Spring Cleaning up in herrr.)

Around 10, as I was about to start scrubbing the wood floors on my hands and knees, I get a text from this guy

Dave:"What are you doing at 10:45?"

Me:"Nothing."

Dave:"I'm coming to get you to go on a date. Be Ready"

Me:"I think you are meaning to text your wife, Dating your sister is gross."

He meant me.

I agreed to go, but I was NOT getting ready.

Dave was SURPRISINGLY punctual, and showed up precisely at 10:45 (p.m. mind you)

(I won't mention the speeding ticket I found in his front seat)

We had some good laughs on our way to pick up some of these:

Then we went here:

And did some awesome of this:

Because it was Latin Night of course.

But we could only get in if Dave first got this,..

Then we proceeded to ride the little electrical scooters up and down Center Street in Provo(which is KICKIN on Friday night) We stopped at the Hooka Collection, to ask where the Hooka Collection was. They told us "I think you have ALREADY been to the Hooka Collection." Then we stopped at Sammy's and asked where we could find Sammy's,.. and a somewhat large and in charge chick enjoyed telling me about her posse' of men she takes places, while one of her entourage walked away and the other skinny kid, slouched down in his seat, and pulled his hoody down. It was awesome.

Then we went to get Ice Cream and Yelled at some Lesbians before we knew it was lesbians, and what we said was really offensive, but wouldn't have been if they weren't lesbians. Then we laughed really hard.

Then I went home, and the door step was really awkward seeing as how he is my brother. Just kidding. I love that guy!

"I corping you Mommy"

"Da Pirate Corp da Cowboy"

"Mommy, I move da corp"

"bdaskdfbaiahdbf Corp sjdfuabgjfkidufb"

"Let's watch that Corp movie, Mom"

Sure wish I knew what "corp" ment, cause it's used in every sentence, and it's also driving me a little bonkers.

My mom said it.

My mom always asked if things "sprouted legs."

well,.. I am here to tell you they DO people!!!

Hopefully this one doesn't "walk away" like all that money in my mom's wallet did. :D

-sorry again mom,.. I was a BAD child.

Turning back the Clock

I was getting grossed out by my own zit, and since there isn't anything zit-tastic to blog about,.. I will just blog a few things from our day.

While I was getting ready this morning{yes,.. I actually got FULLY ready for the day,.. it's a true miracle!} I heard Bailey say "Oh Sorry pincess baby,.. sorry!" As Chloe started crying. So I went in to see what was the matter and found this.

Bailey,.. putting her "wed{red}pincess jammies" on Chloe's head,.. and knocked her over,.. which isn't anything new,.. but usually done by smothering her in kisses. {none of us can resist those cheeks}

Did I mention that Chloe has 5 teeth, and claps like no one's business!?

We went to Costco for formula{since Chloe decided she was done nursing, which has left me full of tears, and feeling usless as a mother}

Came home,.. had a Wii Scout Party, which is always a blast!

And while Bailey and Peter fertilized the grass I did a little project.

When we bought our table(over a year ago) I have been wanting a turn table REALLY bad,.. but the cheapest one I could find in the size I wanted, was $100, and I couldn't seem to fork over that much for it! So,... We looked in the corner and saw a clock I made at an Enrichment Meeting a few years back, that the mechanics on it were not working,

*BIG round thing, CHECK.*

Then,.. I remembered, I bought a turn table thing for the cupboard, but it was too big

*Turn Table part,.. CHECK!*

Put them together and what have you got!?

A TURN TABLE FOR MY TABLE TABLE!!!!!! YEA!!!

Now I am going to go eat a Chocolate Cupcake with Confetti Frosting,.... or 6. :D

8 Months

My little cowgirl or Cowboy-girl as Bailey calls it

I can't even believe that Chloe is 8 months old already. She has had a YUCKY bout of RSV this last week and is doing SOOOOO much better. This amazing lady who I serve with in scouts HOOKED us up with some natural oils and ear drops(she also had a double ear infection) and here we are 5 days later and Chloe is almost 100% better, with a little bit of a yucky cough still, but MAN am I a convert to this stuff. It's amazing!

So,.. ode to Chloe,.. she is so sweet. She isn't very motivated to crawl,.. she still doesn't even like to be on her tummy. But I noticed today she is a bum scooter. She moved about 5 feet in 20 minutes,.. I know,.. super fast! So who knows,.. maybe that is just going to be how she moves. I cannot express how sweet she is,.. she is always just all smiles and happy, even when Bailey is poking her eye and "squeezing her's cheeks" and SCREAMING in her face,.. "I Need more kisses!" and then attacking her to do so. I know it's all for love, but that poor baby can't catch a break! Bailey is going to be SO excited when Chloe really starts playing with her! (I will be too!)

3 teeth on the bottom, and the top two will be popping through ANY day now. I just want to kiss her chubby cheeks all day and tickle her all the time,.. she snorts when she laughs and it about does me in every time.

Oh goodness,.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my girls!

And,.. EVERYONE loves her!!! This picture is CLASSIC and I LOVE it!! Chloe being the center of attention to all the girls, Bailey screaming, and Spencer, no doubtedly, bugging her(No offence Amanda!) (he is his father's child!)
