Funny Kids

Wow, It's been a long time since I've been on here. Hope I remember how to use this! Melia said the funniest thing yesterday and I just have to log this one in! If you are on facebook you probably already saw this...

As Melia and Nolan were playing downstairs, Melia yells up to me, "Mom come down here! We found a dead animal!"

I yelled back to her, "You didn't touch it did you?!" as I ran down the stairs freaking out.

She said, "No!"

I asked, "What kind of animal is it?!"

Melia said, "It's a Miller!"

I love my cute kids!

My baby turns 1!

Happy Birthday Nolan! I can't believe you are 1 already!

Thank you Nanny for the transformer tunnel! I think I'll jump up on the box to enjoy it. That's what it's for, right?!

Look at me in my new wagon! Mommy can't wait for the snow to melt so we can ride to the park. This is really a cool wagon. It has cupholders and a canopy. It's awesome!
This was Nolan's cake to dive into. He loved it! Of course my battery died on my camera so I didn't get the last good picture. He had it all over his head. Too fun!

Yummy! This stuff is pretty good.

Aren't they so sweet?

Melia in the kitchen right after Christmas.

Melia was pretending to sleep with her new life-size barbie. Barbie is kind of creepy. Melia left her in my room the other day. When I got home from work I about tripped over her. That was creepy. Especially since it was dark and she's like a person!

Christmas Day! Nolan is so excited to have wrapping paper all over. Dang, we could have saved a lot of money! Melia is Sleeping Beauty. She still asks if she can wear her dress everyday. She would live in it if we would let her. My little girly girl! She now plays dress up with my high heels. I told Scott that it was okay and not to get mad at her if he sees her playing in my shoes while I'm at work.

Melia loves Hannah Montana. She is such a good singer. ;) It's so cute to watch your child imitate other people. She sings with her guitar and jumps up and down like the teeny boppers do now. It is so funny!

Nolan is so happy with the santa hat on his head!

Melia liked the santa hat, too!

And after decorating the Christmas tree, Melia decided to undecorate it...

Melia got to put the star on the Christmas tree this year. I remember when we were kids we would fight over this. So one would put it on, Mom would take it off and give it to the next kid until all 3 of us got our "turn".

Melia is so excited to decorate the Christmas Tree. We let her put up all of the decorations and only moved a few... When we were done she asked if she could put up more Halloween decorations. Silly girl!

Checking out the dancing/singing snowmen.

Nolan has figured out that if he pushes the right place, the penguins and snowmen will start singing and dancing. He is so cute, he sways back and forth to the music!

Had to pose for the camera in front of the tree. Cute smiles, huh?!

Melia asked me "Mommy do you remember the Christmas tree?"

Nolan is exploring Mom and Dad's bed.

Here is Melia taking the dvd player to her room.

Melia got her first "makeup". She wouldn't let it out of her sight for 2 days. Look close...she fell asleep with one in each hand!

Melia decided to help me vaccuum her room.

Welcome Nolan!

Melia loves her new baby brother Nolan!

Our Doctor!

She delivered Melia and Nolan.

Thank you Dr. Kozak!

Sorry for the sideways picture. Melia wants her "mimi"!

Nolan had aerethemamultiforme. Some kind of rare virus that was gone in less than a week!

Nolan's first 4th of July. He loved the fireworks!

Melia and Katelyn at Pump it up. Melia was a little scared, but she loves this place now.

Melia decided she needed a bra.

A fun picture of Melia and me out on the deck at the apartment.

This is one of my best pictures of our two kids.

The BOW girls at Tammi's going away party. :(

The last lunch... :( :( For a couple of years anyway, right Tammi?!

Thanks for stopping by. Check back later to see what's new!

Monday Night Adventure

2008-11-22T22:46:00.000-08:00

Our friends Pablo and Tiffany went out of town for their anniversary and we watched their daughter Joclynn for 2 nights.

This is the first night when I made sure we each had something to drink and a snack. We were on our way to go pick up Melia and Nolan. Well it's a good thing we had snacks, because I locked us out of the house! Thankfully Scott could leave work to come save the day and let us back in.

Since we had to go to Fort Collins to pick up my kids, we decided to make the best of it and go to Chuck e cheese. I couldn't believe this was the first time Joclynn had ever been here. Melia and Joclynn loved their new cups!

All three kids had a blast!

The Aquarium

2008-11-22T22:23:00.000-08:00

Jenny wanted to do something fun with the kids while they were in Colorado. We took a trip down to Denver to the Aquarium. She thought I knew how to get there. HA! We took a wrong turn and ended up waiting for two long trains under the interstate in a sketchy area... After we stopped and asked for directions at the gas station, we finally got there! Melia and "Tonner" (as Melia calls him) had fun jumping on the glass over the water. They just kept jumping and jumping.

Melia and Nolan each posing for the camera.

Jeannie (Nanny) is holding Melia so she can pet the sting ray. They feel so weird! She got to pet him but then she started crying. I guess it felt a little too weird!

Scott's Granny Doris from Iowa came to visit us in our new house last weekend. His cousin's Jenny and Alicia came too with their boys Noah and Connor. The kids had so much fun.

We had to baracade the kids so they didn't get into trouble. Melia is on the left, then Noah, Nolan, and Connor. Oh and Jenny getting the back shot!

Melia is a hugger! She loves hugging little kids.

Welcome Home

2008-11-22T21:36:00.000-08:00

We are home! Melia is so happy to be in her "new house".

A shot of the living room. Melia is so excited to see her riding pony stick. She kept Nolan entertained for awhile running around and around him. It's like Christmas for her since she hasn't seen most of her toys since February!

When we are a little more settled I'll upload more pictures of the house.
