Christmas
Christmas was too short this year for me :( I wish it could always be Christmas since the girls enjoy all of our santas and all of the lights. It was filled with fun, family, and lots of memories. I cannot tell you how the girls are growing. It makes me sad to know that chandler will be pushing 2 before we know it and Lily turns 5 in just a couple of weeks. :( Anyway, here are some of our memories we created over the holidays.

Catching Up
Goodness, Its been forever since I posted so here we go. Chandler is just starting to walk. She's pretty good at it but then gets excited when she gets going and falls. She will get there sooner or later. No worries. Lily is loving school and her teachers. I have to say I love them too. Its so important that she has teachers that she enjoys and that treat her like their own at this stage. On a side note I have lost 49lbs woo hoo.. Its taken some hard work though. Some people have it easy and can lose weight at the drop of a hat or not have to do anything at all, but I have had to work hard, but it feels so good to be more healthy for my family. Here are the girls on first birthdays and pumpkin patch.

Summer Fun
Summer is slowing coming to an end and I could not have asked for a better summer yet. The girls are great! Hopefully we will be off to the beach soon and then Lily will start Pre-K. Kevin and I am embarking on our 7 year anniversary where we are spending the weekend just being together with lots of fun things to do. I cannot wait.

Thinking Back
So summer has approached and soon before I know it my little peanut will be 1. Its scary how time flies. I just turned 30 and I really do not know how to feel about it. I want my littles ones to freeze in time, for them to always be little & for me to always be able to hold them and kiss their little heads while they fall asleep on my chest. That could ultimately be the best feeling in the world that I could experience as a mom. Forget all those late night feedings and the times that you got up to put the paci back in, its all those little moments that matter.... The fact that I wont let me child cry it out because I feel that loving her and Lily when she was little was going to be opportunities that only lasted for those short few months. They both sleep like champs so I know I didnt ruin them. Lily will start pre-k next year and then on to big girl school as we call it, makes me cry to think about all these moments that I am having are going to be the sweet cherished memories that are caught in time in photos & videos and in my memory for the rest of my life.
As I have grown up over the years I have truly found out what true friendship is.. Its not doing something because you feel like you have to return a favor, its doing something for someone out of the goodness of your heart. I have learned that you give on to others as you want to be treated too. I am not the type of person that puts up with stuff esp from someone who I see maybe once or twice a year... I beleive that friends and people that know you are always constantly checking on you and making sure that things are going well for you. My family is most important to me, not making sure that I try to please someone that I may only see once or twice a year and you dont even know my daunghters name (sorry rant). Someone posted something on FB that I thought was perfect. "Now why are we friends on here if we are not friends in real life?" I thought that was just perfect, I do like to look though :) ..... Okay back to thinking..... I want to make sure that my little girls have everything that I was provided while I was growing up from my mom and dad. My mother is my Rock. I could not imagine my world without her. She is the reason that I am where I am. Always pushing me and supporting me in everything that I do. I now know how much she loves me as I see it in her eyes when I talk about the love with my girls. It only grows stronger as you get older.
Anyway, enough of the on going stuff that makes me sad about and happy about at the same time for new memories only to be made.

Springing into Spring
So a lot has happened for the girls. Chandler has gotten her two front bottom teeth, we went to Disney, and its about to be Easter.
Things are going great for the girls. Chandler sleeps from about 7-730pm to about 6 in the morning and then eats and goes back down usually for about 1 hour. We have our doctor appointment tomw (6 month) to see where she is at with weight and height. Hopefully everything turns out the way it should with her weight.
Here are some pictures of the girls on their adventures.

Up To Date Happenings
Christmas was so fun with two little girls. Lily woke up really excited and came down to find her bike, castle, and some other neat toys. Santa brought Chandler some little toys too which she loves to play with now. It could not get any better. The new way insurance has been done has hit us hard .... ughh. Way different the way insurance companies bill for all of the stuff then when lily was born and steep in our pockets too. We had the Scroggs Family Christmas here at our house for the first year ever so that the girls could enjoy their toys. It was great. I made Paula Deans monkey bread.. A must try for a good fattening fix :) Google It. We had such a wonderful time. A note to my girls, mommy may be hard on you and you may get frustrated with me through life but just know that our relationship is the most importnat. I could not ask for anything more with your (gami) my mommy. I will always try to steer you in the right direction but let you take the necessary steps for you to follow through.
Anyway, Chandler has her 4 month appointment. I cannot beleive that she is already getting so grown so fast. I do not know how the parents want to be strict and let their kids cry in their crib.. I know its a "learning" thing, but they are only little once. You only once get to kiss that baby soft skin and hold them & rock them to sleep regardless the amount of hours you get. I read so many stories of families and their children having a life threating or terminal disease, cancer, etc that they have to deal with. I am so grateful for my two healthy little girls. God has blessed me with them and I cherish every second that I have with them. This year has been a struggle with keeping the kids well too. I know it has to do with Lily starting school for the first time but geeze. Its always a sniffle here and there or cough. I just want her to stay healthy for her 4th birthday which is next week. Pictures are not uploading so I will have to do it later.
