Did you have a Mama?

Yesterday, Mike and the girls went to the Library and rented The Jungle Book movie. After they got home, they sat down to watch the movie and

Mike said to Abbey, "you know, I used it watch this movie when I was a little boy."

Abbey turned to him and said, "Did you have a Mama?"

Mike - "yeah I had a Mama."

Abbey -"where is your Mama now?"

Mike - "she's with Heavenly Father now."

Abbey - "why is she with Heavenly Father?"

Mike - "cause she had a bad heart."

Abbey - "where is your Daddy?"

Mike - "I don't know."

Abbey - "is he with Heavenly Father too?"

Mike - "nah, I don't know where he is"

Abbey - paused and looked at Mike with a blank stare and asked, " Well how did you go places?"

Mike - "I had Hunny (Mike's Grandmother), Hunny was my Mom and Dad. Hunny bought me clothes and bought me food and took me to school, Hunny is my Grandma"

Abbey - "oh" now satisfied :)

Family updates

Well it seems as though March, April and a bit of May have just flown by. So much has happened that I haven't been able to keep up!

In March Maddie turned 3. She is so glad to be 3 and tells everyone she sees that she is 3!!! She also insists on getting everything in 3's, 3 kisses, 3 candies, 3 songs, etc. Let's hope this doesn't continue as she gets older. It could get so expensive!

Presents!!!

Mike and I had out 5 year anniversary on March 12th. We wanted to have an extra special and expensive anniversary but due to reality we had a wonderful time right here in Lincoln. We had sushi and saw a Alice in Wonderland in 3D.

I turned the big 3-5 in April. It's all down hill form here :) Mike surprised me by having my mom take the girls overnight. We again had Sushi and the went to a movie. We saw Date Night. It was so funny, if you haven't seen this movie YOU HAVE TO! We stayed out till 11:30 and didn't have to hurry home to a sitter!!! Then we slept in till 10am!!! Ahhhhh!

In April we put Abbey and Maddie in Gymnastics. They had fun tumbling and walking on their toes and practicing cartwheels. Their favorite move was the Candle Stick. You put both hands on top on your head palm to palm and hop until you reach the end of the strip.

Their last day was May 8th we signed them up for another session, since it was such a success!

For Easter this year we met up with some friends from church and had a little Easter egg hunt at Pioneers Park.

Abbey is getting ready to graduated from preschool and move on to Kindergarten. Her teacher says that she is well prepared for Kindergarten. We asked Ms. Summer what we should work on with her and they said nothing she knows all she needs to. So we are working on teaching her to tie her shoes. Ms Summer said that she is the only one in the class that after counting 12 items, if you then ask her how many items are there she says 12. I was like duh...but Ms Summer says this is a big deal cause all the other kids will start counting the items again and then say 12. My little genius :)

Mike is finishing up he 2nd to last quarter at school. He starts his last quarter on June 7th...YAY!!! Now starts the job search!!!

We are also expecting! We should have a brand new Scarlett Girl by September 1st. That's right, you read it correctly, ANOTHER GIRL!!! The girls are excited and are always kissing my tummy. Abbey asks me EVERYDAY, "how many more days till the baby is all grown and comes out of your tummy??"

Here's some fun that Mike and girls had recently, at a safety show in Lincoln:

Abbey?? oh no a true Scarlett after all!

Maddisms

My Maddie's is almost 3 and I thought I should record some of the cute things she says.

One day while shopping with Dad, Mike had to use the restroom. Maddie was sitting in the cart and didn't want to go into the bathroom. So Mike placed the cart up close to the opening and went inside. He could hear her as one of the Wal-mart Associates came over to talk with Maddie.
Maddie says, "My daddies going potty lady. Don't you take me lady, cause my daddy's in the potty." Mike and the Associate had a good laugh.

After a nap one day the covers had fallen a little and Mike was showing a bit of skin (on his back). Maddie says, "cover up! no one wants to see that Daddy!"

When we drive she reminds us to drive slow and only go if it's green. "Or else the police will stop you and take you away, then we won't have a Mommy or Daddy and we'll be all alone."

For her birthday this year I have promised her that we will take her to the mall to get our nails and toes painted by the "doctors there at the mall...as long as they don't poke me." (the nail tech use masks :) (and doctors give shots...pokes).

When Abbey doesn't share she tells her "remember my teacher said you have to share" (only Abbey the only on in school and it was here teacher that said that :)

When we are driving in the car she says, "put on the music...louder and put on a girl song" (She loves Lady Gaga, Kelly Clarkson, Kesha, Pink, etc.) She also knows tons of primary songs and can sing then to you without the music.

That little girl is something else she is 2 going on 12...how will I keep up?

Flying like an eagle

Yesterday we were driving and Maddie wanted to sit in my lap. Later that day Abbey says to me "Maddie wants to be an eagle" I said, fun! Then she said "Yeah when we were in Daddy's truck Maddie wanted to be an eagle" I said really why was that? She said "Maddie wanted to sit on your lap and that would be an eagle." (illegal).

White Christmas

This year we had a White Christmas. The snow started yesterday and it still has not stopped! There is so much snow that Mike's boss canceled all Tows!!! I'd say there is up to 5 feet of drifts! It's been nice though, we actually got to see Mike all day long, Merry Christmas to us :)
