Breeana and I always pray together before she goes to sleep. We have to make sure our eyes are closed and our hands are folded by our face. I always ask her to pray and then usually end up praying and she repeats after me. Well tonight she prayed on her own...
"Thank you Jesus for my binkie, Wyatt (or neighbor we haven't even seen him in forever) , PaPa Guy, Travis and Crystal, and Thank you Jesus for Goofy, amen."
I know she meant to thank Jesus for her mommy, daddy, and brother, maybe tomorrow night!:)

My Smiley Boy
Jarrett has started smiling and I love it. He actually started a couple weeks ago, but he is smiling more and more everyday. I love it when he just wakes up and I pick him up and he smiles at me. It makes all the frustration with him not going to sleep the night before disappear! I just wanted to share a couple pics, these are the first pictures of his smile, but not the first smile. Also this morning when we were sharing time before Sissy got out of bed, I discovered his little toes are a little ticklish. I was playing with them like I always do and he started pulling his feet away with a huge toothless grin on his face and almost a little laugh!!!
This ones my favorite!!!

Breeana's New Obsession...
Changing clothes a million times a day! It has become pointless to keep her dresser drawers organized. She goes through them all day long picking out new outfits to wear. I decided today to take a picture of her every time she changed, not only to keep count, but because she puts together some very interesting outfits. I think she may be a clothing designer someday!!! She is pretty good about getting every outfit on and off by herself, but sometimes she gets a little stuck and mommy has to come to the rescue!!! Sometimes she changes so fast I couldn't get a picture, here they are..
#1 I missed this one but it was the next outfit but with hot pink shorts and sandals
#2 Those are swimsuit bottoms not panties!
#3 Blues Clues PJ's
#4 I missed this one too...it was just green pj bottoms
#5 Pink Swimsuit wrong side out and I'm a Key kid hat!
#6 Missed this one, yellow bikini, she got the top stuck on her head
#7 Missed it!!! Panties and red, white, blue socks with white dress shoes
and Finally #8 a striped shirt for nap time!!!
These all took place from 9 am - 1 pm we will see what else she decides to put on after nap!!!

My baby is 7 weeks old. See how much he has grown!!
I am working on a post all about Nonny, but I need more pics so here is one of Her and Jarrett in the mean time so she will quit harassing me about not posting about her!
Breeana Loving on her Brother!! She always wants to help me, she tried to pick him up the other day when he was throwing a fit because I wouldn't carry him with me all day. I walked in the room just in time to say him!
About him wanting me to carry him all the time. I am debating on purchasing an Ergo Baby Carrier. Almost every review I have read is positive. I am using an Evenflo Snuggle or something like that for now and he loves it, but he will out grow it soon, and it hurts my back after just a little while. Have any of you personally used one of these or know someone who has? I think it would be great if it works as good as the reviews say it does.

Painting and Goofy
I decided today that Bree and I would try and do a couple art projects a week, and have a time each day set aside when we work on shapes, numbers, letters, etc. I think she needs this one on one time with me now that baby brother is here because she has be really acting out lately. Hopefully devoting a set time with her everyday will work. We shall see...
I plan to buy her an apron so she won't be basically naked in upcoming art time photo shoots!
Also, her newest love is Goofy. I am not sure why, but she loves him. I found a book all about him while I was cleaning and organizing her room today and I gave it to her. She sat and looked at it for a long time, then we had lunch with Goofy in her room. (Goofy is her imaginary friend right now and if you eat his food or sit in his chair you are in trouble) Then we read the book for nap time. She fell asleep looking at it. I took in from her several times, but she kept waking up and saying "My goofy book mommy" So she took a nap with it. Maybe she will attach to it so much that she will give up her binkies on her own. One could only hope :)

New Jogging Stoller
My double jogging stroller came today. I love it. The seats recline really far back for Jarrett, the sunshade is huge, and the wheels pop right off and it folds up fairly compact for the size that is it, and it is one of my favorite colors to top it off, YELLOW!!! Can't wait to use it, hopefully the evenings will start to cool down soon!! Although we may have to sweat it out in the neighborhood tonight, I just want to give it a spin!!! 
Also I got Jarrett a new toy, seems big sister likes it a little more than he does right now.

Why I love my Kids!!
Sunday after church Ashley, Michelle, my kiddos and myself went to Enid to have my kids pictures taken. We arrived about 15 minutes before our picture appointment and Breeana was in the waiting area, smiling, posing, goofing off excited about pictures. Well this made me excited because at her 2 year old pics she rolled on the floor crying and screaming. So we enter the picture taking room and I position her where she was supposed to be and......she lost it. Not quite as bad but she was crying and wanting me to hold her. So the only way we got her to take a picture was in the little red prop car they have. This was not my original vision and I really wanted a smile out of her, but she had other plans. All in all they turned out pretty cute especially the ones of her and her brother. I am so glad Michelle decided to go with us. Who would've thought it would take 3 women to tackle 2 kids, one that can't even walk!! Thanks Michelle and Ash for going with me!!
Now for my title, Why I love my kids... (I stole this idea from another blog I read about quads)
Breeana...
1. She is so persistent and independent. Although this presents a challenge with discipline and my patience, I love that she is her own little person no matter what.
2. Her smile, she not only smiles with her lips and mouth, but with her entire body, especially those big blue eyes.
3. She is so tenderhearted, which I at times am not so I don't know where she gets it. She cannot stand for people to argue in front of her, get hurt, etc. She just has to give you a hug and make sure you are okay.
4. She is a drama queen and I love it. (okay not all the time) I think it is so funny how she reacts to somethings, she is all girl, and on some days she is an emotional roller coaster!!! Can't wait for those teenage years!!! j/k
5. Most of all I love when she tells me "I love you to the canos and back mommy" I tell her I love her to so much all the way to heaven and back." So she started telling me to the canos and back. By the way canos are volcano's (she learned about volcano's on Backyardigans and Dora).
Jarrett...
1. He grunts and groans through every nap and all night long. I think it is so cute, although it does sometimes interrupt my sleep at night.
2. How when I lay him down for even a second he throw a screaming almost pass out fit, but the second I pick him up it stops and all is well with him. This is sometimes annoying and I don't know why he all the sudden started doing it, but my mom tells me Shane used to do the same thing, but actually pass out for a second, he was a little older than Jarrett though.
3. When he smiles in his sleep....I like to think he is thinking about his mommy and it is not just gas!!!
4. How he pecks at his bed, my shoulder, or anything near his mouth when he is hungry or thinks he is hungry. ( I know all babies do this, but he is extra cute doing it!!!)
5. That he is my precious son who I love with all my heart even after only six weeks of knowing him and holding him in my arms.
I have so many more reasons I love my kids, but these are a few I wanted to share with my blog readers and my family. And so I can look back at my posts when they are making pull my hair out and remind myself how much I love them!!!
