We've had a really crazy roller coaster of a month around here. We said goodbye to our sweet Poppy a couple of weeks ago. It's rough to know we won't be able to enjoy him anymore, but we also know he is walking around on those streets of gold watching us in all that we do!</div>

Then two days after we returned from the most magical place on earth, I had knee surgery. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And the kids had their gymnastics super show they've been working so hard on!! I was really doubtful that Levi would participate....but he did AMAZING!!! So proud of him! He doesn't usually do crowds ya know. And Sis just ate it up. Wanted to be on the floor the entire show. Go figure. Good thing she's beautiful and people really do watch her all the time. :)</div>

Chloe loves it too! They have both gotten a little "goofy" where they're trying to be funny instead of trying really hard at what they're doing. Hopefully it's a phase.<br />

September was a really big month for Levi. He started school at The Learning Tree. This picture was at open house, which he absolutely screamed and cried through.

Up next was Wonderland!!!! This was almost torturous for our tiny little daredevil. :( Levi was tall enough to ride quite a few more things....and wouldn't ride any of them. Chloe was an inch too short to ride everything, and literally threw a fit every time she was too small. :( </div>

We had a wonderful weekend with Mimi, Grams and Pops. Always good to get to see them!! And we were sure glad Daddy got to go this year! He kept wondering why on earth we had all these "last year...." times, well it was because we'd just opened Ardmore and he worked all the time!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08768153299405237942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282321631991972630.post-33676863269040847372014-09-02T19:38:00.002-07:002014-09-02T19:38:46.239-07:00Medieval Times<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First, we stopped at the Galleria for some new kicks. They both had on other really cute shoes...but they decided these were their "fast" shoes after we bought them. I swear they probably ran a mile around that mall!</div>

Did some small "fiya wackas" as Chloe calls them. This was HUGE for both Levi and myself. Neither of us really like firecrackers!</div>

(2 months ago...oops!)I realized that I haven't made a post for Miss Priss' 2nd birthday stats, only her party! So here it goes!<br />
<br />
She weighs 25 lb (27%)<br />
She is 34.5 inches tall (76%)<br />
<br />
That's gotta be some sort of record in height growth!!! She grew over 4 inches in 6 months!!!!! So crazy how fast they can change!<br />
<br />
She talks up a STORM. Right after her birthday, her vocabulary EXPLODED. She's now speaking full sentences a lot. We are really starting to be able to have conversations with her!<br />
<br />
She still has this big ole lisp that I think is just adorable. I love to ask her to say "s" or "sh" words because it's so darn cute! "Tavle" is also another one of my favorites. You might know it as a table. A few others that make me giggle....<br />
"fimmin poo" swimming pool<br />
"Ok I will!"<br />
"uhhhhhh I-uh-know!" I don't know (always done with her palms up)<br />
"wacka" This one comes in many cute forms. Animal wackas, wackas, fire-wackas.<br />
<br />
<br />
She is the funniest, cuddliest, most beautiful little girl. Every. Single. Night. She says "cover up." What she means is a) put my favorite blankie on my pillow b) cover me up with 4 other blankies, and count them as you put them on me c) make sure whatever assortment of stuffed animals I choose tonight is in my bed. (Currently Violet, a snake, a puppy, and a baby. Always at least 4) Oh and she's in her toddler bed now, that was a very easy transition. Hasn't hardly interrupted our sleep stuff at all.<br />
<br />
She loves reading books! Pinkalicious is still a favorite, but I'm trying to make them both venture out. The teacher in me I guess.<br />
<br />
She hates for Daddy and Levi to do anything without her. It makes her very upset! She thinks Levi is the greatest thing every. There are so many times I've caught her comforting him in some way. Whether it be a hug, a kiss on an owie, patting him on the back she always wants him to feel better. BUT....she's a Momma's girl!! I love it that she wants to cuddle and likes to find me first thing in the morning. :)<br />
<br />
Her giggle can literally melt you to the floor. There is no sweeter sound than that of my kids laughing. I wish I could bottle it up and keep it forever. Thank goodness for videos!!<br />
<br />
She's showing her true "girl" side. Not only the frilly stuff, but also the opinionated and sassy stuff. The stink eye she can give is unreal. When she decides she has an opinion about something, she will let you know. Over and over again probably. And sometimes, it's sass about frills. I.E. throwing a big fit about which necklace she wants to wear to church. She can throw some real fits. I mean on the floor, kicking and screaming. This too shall pass, right?<br />
<br />
She usually likes to sing songs with me. Levi never really cared to much about my singing shenanigans, but Chloe does! She also loves the "Happy Song." I don't like to listen to too much pop music with them, but that one is super fun!<br />
<br />
I started to potty train her already. I don't really know what made me want to try, I just felt like it. Day one she did FANTASTIC so I figure she's ready. Not every day is that fantastic, but she pretty much has tee tee down. Pooping is another story....still has yet to poop in the potty. You should see the list of things we've promised her, her room will be FULL when she finally does it! And I'm sure all her teeth are rotting from all the m&ms.<br />
<br />

I love you so much Chloe Grace! I can't wait to be your best friend in 20 years. Until then...I'm the boss! And I love nothing more than getting to be your Momma!!<br />

I use the term "awards" loosely. Chloe had only been in gymnastics for about a month, and I think Levi had only gone once. Once that involved LOTS of crying and screaming, and very little gymnastics. </div>

Chloe really loves gymnastics, she jumped right in on day one, and over the summer she has progressed quickly! She follows directions really well, and only has to be redirected occasionally. She's the youngest in her class by 6 months, and I think she hangs incredibly well with them!<br />

She got some award about motor skills....don't even remember. I'm not an everyone wins kind of gal, so I thought these awards were silly. Sweet, but silly.<br />

Her whole class. And that's Ms. Emily back there, the teacher Levi has a HUGE crush on! He acts SO much better if she's the one who comes and gets him to start the class. He told me one week "I don't want that black girl to come get me, I want that white girl to come get me." He was calling them by the color of their shirts, it was so hilarious!!<br />

Levi, well...Levi hasn't really come around to "loving" gymnastics yet. The deal was he would play soccer and Chloe would do gymnastics. Well, gymnastics is on Monday mornings. That means he has to come and sit and watch his sister run around and jump on trampolines for an hour. Soccer doesn't start until September. So when he started asking if he could go too, I decided I guessed that would be ok.<br />

They should have given him an award for being the most ridiculous. The first day, I understood why he was nervous and scared. (That's just his personality.) The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on week....I was a little confused. Like I said, if Ms. Emily comes to get him he's much more willing to go. I think we may have finally turned a corner this last week, when he walked right in and started the warm up with ZERO crying!<br />

Regardless, I've realized that it's really good for him. He needs things to do for him to learn to listen and follow directions from someone besides me. And I'm still a beaming proud Momma no matter what. I love him so ridiculously much!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08768153299405237942noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282321631991972630.post-54284849798379462622014-07-30T18:38:00.000-07:002014-07-30T18:38:03.680-07:00Chloe's 2nd Birthday Party<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And then we were quickly reminded that we ARE indeed adults that do have many responsibilities. We hydroplaned and crashed into a concrete median. We are so incredibly blessed that it wasn't worse than it was. What a way to ruin a fantastic weekend, and a really good car. :( 3 weeks later, we finally found out they were totaling it. :( I liked that car. </div>

And we did a lot of swimming!! Gage wasn't really pumped about it at first, but he warmed up to it! He and Levi had so much fun cleaning out the skimmer buckets. We left the net on for a lot of the time they were here. Those boys played in the skimmer buckets for hours!<br />

We have been friends since 6th grade!<br />
<br />
I was very blessed with a great group of friends in junior high/high school. I don't talk to any of them as much as I wish I did, but they still hold a very dear piece of my heart!! We were so close, and did EVERYTHING together! (These are no means all of them....just the few pics I could grab that had me and Mesa in them!)<br />

We just happened to be in the reptile exhibit when they brought this guy out. Levi was a little bit timid, but he did touch him! Chloe stuck her hand right on him of course. Very gently with her finger though. :) Very strange though because anytime you put her in the grass she whines and yells "NAKE!" I guess I've passed on my unhealthy fear already.<br />

We were waiting on Daddy, Uncle Brent and Mimi to ride the big roller coaster. I volunteered to sit this one out. :( Unfortunately they didn't get to ride it though. As soon as Chloe laid her eyes on that huge roller coaster, she pointed at it and said "ride dat!" So strange???? How does she even know you're supposed to ride it??? She will be LOADS of fun at the amusement parks, if she ever grows tall enough to ride!<br />

This was one of those community egg hunts where the eggs are not "hidden." There's no hunting involved. Just racing to see if you can get like 5 eggs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They actually ended up with some good stuff though. They had a blast and looked absolutely adorable doing it! (Hason had to sit this one out. Poor guy. Next year buddy, next year!)</div>

Then we let them play. Chloe had to "wees" of course! It's her FAVORITE! I cannot keep up with Brielle and Levi if you're wondering why there aren't as many pics of them! They're so big, and they just run off and play together so well!</div>

I'm afraid Levi got my crowd-hating gene. He literally froze and REFUSED to pick up a single egg! </div>

Chloe made the Communique because she picked up like 2 eggs then handed me her basket and said "wees!" She was so mad that I wouldn't take her to swing that she sat down and threw a HUGE fit. Therefore, she only got her 2 measly eggs. Egg hunt FAIL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trent obviously thought me trying to wrestle her away from the playground was funny since he was capturing it on camera. :( Beth's sweet daughter Zoe shared her eggs with my kids since they had NOTHING. </div>

Maybe next year will be a little more successful! Oh well, because Levi knows the true meaning of Easter, and that's the most important part!! Sissy repeats it, but I'm not sure she really gets it just yet. She will. :)</div>

They had a blast doing all kinds of farm things. <br />Trevor is always boiling something....this weekend it was crawfish! Shelly loaded them in her trunk and brought them from Houston. Ick!<br />The kids were pretty interested in watching them.<br /><br />One of those big ole suckers nearly took Trevor's finger off!<br /><br />These two are both so high maintenance! I just love watching them run around together!<br />They set some crawfish free to see if they'd live in the pond. We went back and checked on them later and couldn't find any...I guess we'll see!<br />Leslie and Trevor had a bounce house for the kids. This one didn't want to get out!!!<br />I took videos, but managed to lose them when I got a new phone. :(<br />The precious birthday boy and his pretty Momma!!!<br />Levi was not quite thrilled about the party hats??<br />They released lady bugs!!<br />Divalicious was not pumped about those bugs....<br />Me and my buddy!!!<br />They love to feed the goats of course...<br />Have you ever seen anything cuter? A baby in a corn bucket, feeding goats!!! <br />Crazy playful goats<br />Leslie has painted Ty's playroom soooooo adorable. She let all the kids put their handprints on the wall. Levi was EXHAUSTED and melting down so his handprint didn't make the wall.<br /><br />Meet Michelle Obama the Llama. Chloe LOVED her and wanted to take her home. She creeped me out a little, but they say she's nice. She was just super curious about the kids and wasn't shy about coming up to us!<br />Chloe literally squealed she was so excited about it!<br />Riding in the back of the gator with her big bro...<br />Trevor caught one of the baby goats for the kids to pet! Sooooo sweet!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />And then we saw a snake....boooo. Haylea tried to catch it of course. Even though she didn't know what it was. We so kindly talked her down off of that idea.<br />It was a really short visit, but any time spent with the Bates family is amazing. Chloe loved on all the Batesie's before we left!!<br />Sweet Audrey. :)<br />- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad<br />Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08768153299405237942noreply@blogger.com0
