Hotgraphix.net

So Ive been making my own banners and I am an amature at it so I decided to take it to the professionals :) LOL. Hotgraphix.net is a WONDERFUL bunch of ladies who make blinkies, siggis for groups and they made me my banner! Im sure in a few months Ill be back to them for an updated one hehe. I just really love their work so if you ever need anything done please check them out! Most of the work they do is indeed free like my banner. But they also have some paid services and can even teach you how to do this kind of stuff! Theres been a number I have used throughout the years but most have seemed to just go into the background. I have YET to be disapointed with ANYTHING they do! Just wonderful work! I wish I had as much talent as they do :)

Im so blessed

As I sit here listening to Rachel singing Opera in the bathroom and Charle singing Hannah Montana I realise how truly blessed I am. My girls are wonderful kids and they crack me up. I love my kids so much and I couldn't imagine life without them. It sure would be a dull and boring like :D We are going to be getting ready to head to Pike Street for the day to just walk around and have a day out. It should be a lot of fun :D

we had a fun evening :)

This evening while I was cooking dinner I decided to try something new. Normally I have to keep the kids entertained while I attempt to cook dinner and that is NO easy fate! So I took out the art supplies and play dough so they could do whichever they wanted to do. Charle did art for a little while as you can see from her face :D then she got into the play dough...much less messy!! And Rachel stuck with her art, she LOVES to do art its pretty amazing cause she is fairly talented too. So while I cooked spaghetti I snapped a few pictures of them. They are just so amazing and when they aren't fighting they are a total joy. When they are fighting...they drive me nuts! LOL

Then the girls took their bath brushed their teeth. Rachel flossed and they got into their jammies and played for a little while longer. Charle ended up picking her nose so much she made it bleed...again she does that a lot lately and Im not sure why so that was exciting and we had to change her jammies. Rachel is such a loving big sister and was very concerned about "all the blood". She's fine of course and didn't even cry at all I just need to get her to stop picking her nose!

The other day the girls decided their beds needed to be next to each other instead of separate so I did....well I might as well have not done it because they sleep in the bed together anyways!! I put them to bed at 8PM tonight then went downstairs to do something. Then Rachel calls down to me that Charle wont get out of her bed. So I go up there and read them a little story tuck them into Rachel's bed together. Of course Rachel then decided to "read" another story to her sister.

As much as they fight they sure do love each other a lot. They keep me on my toes...and I love it :D They are crazy kids! I should sneak up there and see if they are really sleeping because its oddly quiet...lets hope they are it is 11 PM after all!! I think ill stay hiding though don't want to wake the sleeping bears...I mean babies :P

Rachel goes to the dentist

Rachel went to the dentist today. Unfortunately I couldn't go with her because the front wheel on our car blew out and we are having to borrow the truck. So Dominick took her in and I stayed with Charle. it turns out the little princess has 3 or 4 cavities...Dominick doesn't remember. All on top from what I understand. So shes not getting her teeth brushed well enough up there I guess. I'm super stressed out about this because its going to cost a lot to fix even with insurance because ours doesn't cover everything for some reason. Next week Charle goes in for her appointment....lets hope her teeth are okay!! Ill get pictures of Charle at the dentist :D

In 1 month.....

...my sweet little baby girl Rachel is turning 5. 5!! I cant believe she is already turning 5. It feels like yesterday that she was born. She was such a sweet little baby girl 5lbs 12 oz and 19.25 inches. She was born at 9:31 PM in San Diego at the Naval Medical Center. My labor with her was only 7 1/2 hours. She was beautiful right from the start. People use to say she looked like a little china doll. I hope you enjoy these pictures of newborn Rachel. These were all taken within the first 2 weeks of her birth. She was so itty bitty. It just amazes me that she is gunna be 5 in such a short amount of time.
