always thinking

riley decided a while ago that she is going to marry her friend jack jack when she grows up. all bedtime stories must end what a couple getting married in the temple and having kids, "just like me and jack jack mom".

riley and i quietly sat by each other while she was eating crackers and out of the blue she said...... "mom when i'm a grown up you and dad will sleep in your bed, peyton will sleep in her bed, but where will jack jack and i sleep? oh i know mom jack jack and i will sleep right next to you guys in your bed."

"so are you going to have your bed right next to ours ri?"

"no mom we can't because my bed doesn't have 2 big pillows like your bed, it only has one, so my kid will sleep in my bed and jack jack and i will just sleep right by you guys"

that's one crowded master bedroom isn't it? why doesn't she want to take the guest room?

she wants to be called sarah but her name is peyton

i'm head over heals for this little girl! so snuggly, always telling us she loves us, always ready to give a kiss to anyone who's around, so quick to say sorry when she knows she's done something wrong.

as much as she is sweet she has the, "spunky" personality to match it!

one thing peyton does 100% of the time is keep me on my toes and completely worn out by the time she goes down for the night.

i wouldn't change a thing about her!

for rachel

rachel (smith, but not smith for much longer) emailed me today and told me to update my blog with some pic's of the girls. sometimes i feel like that's all i talk about but i'll gladly take this opportunity to do it again.

the other day ian was at church (as usual) and i was getting peyton's lotion on and dressed after the bath while riley was dressing herself. i had my back to her and i heard in an annoyed tone, "mom i look like a freak". as i turned around i said "what?" and then i saw her, and she kinda did! i made her stay that way until i got the picture. we giggled about it for a while then of course the girls wanted to take pictures so we did. (i guess i still need to work on getting the shirt over the head with her).

*by the way i don't know who taught her the phrase, "i look like a freak" oops!*

my little rock stars

my girls love to sing and dance. yes my girls also love Pink right now. i may even sing a long and dance with them time to time. what can i say it's catchy!

i just happened to have my camera in my purse while they were doing their routine the other day. nothing like a family trip to wal-mart to get you in the mood to rock out right?

oh yeah baby!

and we're off! after months of talking, working, thinking, wondering, stressing, and spending the money to make it happen http://www.2littlemammas.com/ is up! we didn't realize it was actually working until yesterday. we still have some adjustments to make like showing a few more buttons for products we haven't gotten the pictures captured for yet (tu tu's, birthday sash, and caRe seat), but we're rolling with it anyway. why you may wonder do you need to have your site up. i'll tell you. 2 little mammas was picked to be featured in the july issue of, "Pregnancy and Newborn" magazine! both the baby bundle and let's do lunch bag, on 2 different pages! so we needed to have a site to put in the issue of where our products could be purchased.

so excited for the opportunities we've been given, so far!

i have also been asked to post pictures of riley's bed that i did last week. remember when i said that i really wanted a headboard for her bed? well i got a whole bed not just the headboard, i was wanting one with 4 small posts but wasn't having any luck. the day after blogging about it i found it, and it was exactly what i was looking for. you know the absolute best part? it was free off of craigslist! can you believe it? all i had to pay for was the gas to get there and a new roller for the paint brush. we had some left over paints in the garage i was able to mix myself for the perfect color and ta da! i love it, and so does she!

lame, that's what my blog has been. done, with my last math class and second spanish class. busy that's what i was until a couple of weeks ago. one, it's how many semesters i have left to be completely done with school. tan, that's what i wish i was! committed, that's what i will be to my blog. froogle, it's a fun game for me. creative, it's what i've tried to be lately. in shape, another something i've tried to work on. patient, something i need to start being. tired, it's how i feel. rich, something i don't aspire to be. far, it's how i feel when i think of keri and sarah and shannyn. grateful, for two beautiful girls and one amazing husband. laugh, something i've been cravting, you know one of those stomach ache, tired cheeks, watery eyes ones! headboard, something i'm dying to find for riley's room. excited, it's what i am bout 2littlemammas. me in a nutshell as of late.

now that we're all caught up, we had some plain ikea chairs upstairs next to our purple couch that we wanted to tie together. this is what i came up with. super fun and cost about 50 cents for each chair. riley has one too the exact same but her name is in orange up top.

and all that wisdom

last time we were at the park by our house ri met a little boy named jaden. we went back tonight and he was out playing again. ri recognized him and ran over to talk. every time he passed by on his little bike ri asked where he was going. his older brother (maybe 7 years old) passed by with him once.

ri- hey jaden where are you going?
jaden's brother- jaden i think that little girl has a crush on you.

jaden didn't answer and kept riding so riley came back.

me-riley what did jaden's brother say?
ri-nothing.
me-ri he said that you like jaden, that you think he's cute.
ri-mom he doesn't know anything about girls.
