Fun times

This is just a picture post. Nothing special going on right now!

Samantha walking and Mallory trying to knock her down. Sam is doing a great job!

Going for a bike ride with the girls.

This was the first time they enjoyed their bike ride. Last time they didn't fit very well in the seats.

Spooky joins the girls EVERY morning for their morning bottle. He loves the babies. He also joins them after bathtime.

Speaking of bathtime, we took the bath seats out of the tub since they just wanted to stand up all the time. Now Raegan has enough room to take a bath with them. She enjoys it!

We discovered markers and Mallory figured out that they have tops that come off!

An update of sorts!

We are back from our Spring Break Beach trip. We all had a great time. The babies were fabulous in the car and really the entire trip. Raegan was great. Sloane was great. They only had one tiff on the way home. We had 2 days of rain and 2 days of sun. We spent one day of rain at the aquarium. The next day we didn't have rain until the afternoon so the girls were able to play on the beach at the condo for a while. The 2 days of sun we spent in Port Aransas. We also went on the Dolphin boat again with T-Jo. On the way home we stopped at the Natural Bridge Caverns outside of San Antonio. It was very cool and the girls loved it.

As far as the babies and what they are doing, here is that update:

Samantha- crawling, pulling up, cruising furniture, starting to walk behind her walker, 3 teeth now, waving, clapping, and being a drama queen at all times.

Mallory- crawling and no longer dropping and dragging, pulling up, haven't tried the walker yet, 7 teeth, waving, clapping, imitating words "more" when eating and "bird" on the beach, and being Mellow Mallory.

Raegan- playing outdoor soccer and getting ready to start indoor, trying a new gymnastics place, reading better everyday, adding one and some 2 digit numbers, attending in school much better (thank you Vyvanse), playing outside with friends all the time and maintaining her drama queen status.

Here are some pictures from the trip!

We're both crawling...finally!

Mallory has been army crawling for over a month now. And she's been crawling a few steps here and there for the past few weeks. But she still prefers to 'drop and drag' when she is on the carpet. However, when on the cold tile, naked, she will crawl for food. And she's even fast!

Don't mind my annoying voice or the random dog in the video. I'm so proud of my girls! Oh and you're going to have to turn your head. I can't figure out how to rotate the video.

Dinnertime at the Sharer's

Just random sillyness!

Valentine's Day in Kindergarten

Raegan had her first Valentine's Day party as an Elementary aged student. It was fun. The kids decorated and ate giant heart cookies and handed out their Valentines. Here a few pictures from the event!

Valentine's week at Beck is all about queens and kings. Here is the family crest that Raegan made.

"In my kingdom the rule would be... pull up the draw bridge at night." Raegan's spelling and handwriting is coming along well!


Raegan also made the 100's club along with a few of her classmates. This means she can count to 100 by ones, fives, and tens.




I am still so thankful that I can attend all of these parties with Raegan. My job is fantastic!

My Favorite Word

Hooker is by far my favorite word. OK, let me tell you another story about the hooker. So, I was there with one of the babies not to long ago. This nurse knows they are IVF babies. We talk almost everytime about how her brother and SIL just had twins through IVF. So then she says, "well they're not really twins. More like siblings." Seriously? Does she practice medicine? Does she know what the definition of a twin is? Just because they are IVF still does not negate the fact that they were in the uterus together and born at the same time, from the same mother. I must have had the worst look on my face when she said that. I was stunned at her ignorance.

Hooker.

Seriously?

I have no patience for the nurse practioner at my pediatrician's office. None. This is the second time I've wanted to punch her in the face. Tell me how my poor little Mallory can go from "perfect, clear ears, just a little cold" on Monday .... to.... "bad, double ear infections" on Wednesday. Seriously? Did you NOT believe me when I said that she was pulling at her ears on Monday? I mean come on, she's not 2 months old. She can pull on her ears and will if they hurt. I think that's a bit of a sign that something is going on other than a freaking cold.

So last time I wanted to punch this lady in the face, I said I wasn't going back to her again. This time I mean it. Today I went to another lady in the Irving office. She was MUCH more thorough. She actually listened to me, listened and looked around at Mallory, took her oxygen levels, suctioned her nose for me. You name it. She did it. Thanks Becky. You need to give Brenda some lessons on how to be thorough and not just dismiss everything as a little cold. Hooker.

OK so I'm done complaining about the hooker. I'm hoping Mallory feels better tomorrow after starting her antibiotics. But if not, I have nothing planned and can stay home with her again. I stayed home on Monday. Bryan stayed home on Tuesday. My mom stayed this morning (Wed) and I did the afternoon. It's been fun snuggling with my princess. That doesn't happen often when you have 2 babies to look after.
