New Camera

I got a new camera yesterday and had fun using it for the first time when we went minature golfing and go-carting. Im not much on the go-carts so David took turns taking the girls out for a spin. It was extra special for Ivy cause this is the first time she has hit the 36 inch mark so she could ride!!! Constance loves the go-carts too. It was a fun day, and very hot! I think we got up to like 86 yesterday. Not sure it will get that hot today though.

Well, we leave for our trip in two days. We are all very excited! I havent packed a thing yet though, so today is the day I do that. I think we are getting internet in our room so I should be able to post a few pics while we are there. Im not making any promises of when though cause I know we will be extra tired each night! Ivy and David getting ready to ride!
David and Constance out on the track!

Constance yelling "I did it!!!!!"

I love the look on her face in this one!

My Ivy Jewel!

My Constance, she is getting so darn big on me! In a few short months she will be four already!

I Wish!

I wish...... That is something we have been hearing alot around here lately. Constance has been saying it alot, and for everything too. Just a few minutes ago it was, "I wish I could be a cook like you mom!". Yesterday it was, " I wish I could go fishing Dad!" We went fishing! lol Last night it was, " I wish I could turn into Mickey Mouse mom!" I explained to her that being Constance was so much better!

Getting ready for Vacation!

Beach Baby!!
All ready to go!!!

Needless to say, the mood in our house is becoming increasingly excited as our vacation draws closer. Only 10 days to go. Constance and I headed to Walmart today to get all the little extra things we needed like sunscreen, activities for the plane ride, snacks, ect.... She had fun picking things out for our trip and at one point yelled out quite loudly "I need some good sunglasses so we can go to DISNEYWORLD!!!!!" lol, I believe she is getting excited!! I also got them some very cute bathing suits, or as Constance calls them "band-aid suits!" lol I got myself one that I actually feel comfortable in, but in no way am I posting a picture of myself in it! We should have a movie for the girls coming in the mail from netflix in the next couple of days. I ordered them a Disneyland sing-a-long dvd. Its disneyland, but they wont know the difference. Apparently all the characters go on the rides and sing fun songs, so I thought that would be fun for them to watch before we go! Heck I want to see it too! lol So now that we have everything I need to start getting it all organized and get the suitcases down. I just want to make sure we dont forget a thing. I know we probably will, but Im going to try hard not to!

sick girls, cont.

What a day! Yesterday the girls seemed to be getting much better. They were playing and able to keep some food down, so I thought we were done with this tummy bug they had. Turns out they werent. Last night was a long night of throwing up and me cleaning up kids and beds. Fun stuff!! This morning we got up and they just wanted to lay on the couch. They layed there for like two hours taking turns getting sick, so I called David and had him come home so we could take them to the ER. After about and hour and a half wait we were taken to a room then had to wait another hour and a half til the doctor came in. At that point I was the only one in the room awake!! lol I wanted to sleep too, but the way Ivy was laying on me I couldnt move! So anyways, the doc came in and checked out constance and she did really good. Then he moved on to Ivy. She was so scared. She cried the whole time! After 30 more minutes waiting they came in with some medicine to help with the nausea. I was glad cause they were miserable. It seemed to help almost right away. then they got popsicles which made them much happier! Then we proceded to the pharmacy which was almost an hour wait! It made for a long day, but at least we got something to help them get better. They seem pretty tired now. They slept most of the time we were there, which really told me that they felt terrible. they never sleep like that! Now that we are home they seem to be more comfortable and feeling better. Hopefully tonight goes alot smoother and they can get the sleep they need to get better.

Sick Girls

Well, both the girls both have some kind of tummy bug. They wont eat and are throwing up everything. I just gave them a little water so Im hoping they can at least keep that down. I am praying it will be over soon, so they feel better, and that they dont get sick on vacation. Which by the way is only two weeks away! Sorry, had to throw that in there! lol

Happy Valentines Day!!!

We have been having a good day here so far! Last night we had a bbq and had some good friends over. It was a lot of fun, the guys had a little too much fun with the big pink bouncy ball, but thats a whole other blog itself! lol We are all a bit tired today. David did take the girls and I out for lunch today. We went to TGIFridays. It was very yummy! Then we ventured to Walmart to get some groceries. Man, it was a mad house there. Everyone was carrying balloons or flowers. Whatever happened to planning ahead? lol Now we are at home relaxing the rest of the day. The girls are asleep now and David just informed me that I could take one when they wake up! What a great guy! Well that should be soon, and I am very tired today. So Im going to go get ready for sleep!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....................

Getting Healthy

Lately I have really been thinking about trying to just eat better, excersize more, and just be more active in general. A few days ago David went and bought me an eliptical machince. I love it! Its hard work, but its so nice to have right in the livingroom. I can just jump on it anytime. I have already done a mile on it today. Ive been trying to eat better too. Just after three days I feel so much better. I have lots of energy! Its not about losing weight for me, just feeling better about myself and having more energy. Im getting the girls to eat better as well. Instead of cereal for breakfast we all had yogurt and strawberries, which they love! I think they are good in the excersize department though! They go non stop all day! lol If I had that much energy to burn I would be a stick! lol So heres to being healthy!!

Autograph books

Last night I ordered the girls some autograph books for Disney World. I got them on www.scrapyourtrip.com for only $9 a piece. You can get them at disney, but they look different and are more expensive. I really liked the ones they had on the website, so I cant wait to get them! Even more I cant wait til the girls can get autographs from thier favorite characters in them! We are all getting very excited. Our vacation is just around the corner, only 20 days! Cant wait!!!!

More fishing and Ivys hair cut

Here are a few pics from Ivys new hair cut thanks to her wonderful big sister! lol I wasnt laughing about it at first, but I realize its just hair it will grow back. I still dont like it this short, but her curls will probably be back before we know it! I also put a few pics on here of our little fishing trip we took yesterday with some friends. Apollo trying to figure out what the heck it was! lol Every time it moved he would jump back and bark at it!

Playing in the grass, he fell in the water too!

I thought this was too cute. All the kids were mesmerized watching him catch the fish

David and the only catch of the day

pictures

Yesterday afternoon we went to the park to play for a little while. Its just a short walk from our house and the girls have lots of fun there. Apollo does too, there is a little creek next to it that he likes to play in. He has grown so much just since he has been here. He has learned to sit when told, and now we are working on shaking hands. We got him some Rachel Ray dog treats and he loves them! They are peanut butter flavor! Here are a few pics from the last couple of day. Apollo loves to sit on Ivys lap now. Now that he figured out he can get on the couch we have to move him over anytime we want to sit down! Hes become quite the couch potato.

Father/Daughter Date!

David took constance out on a "date" for the afternoon yesterday. Ivy wont go with him without me anywhere so she and I stayed home. She took a nap and I scrapbooked. David took Constance minature golfing, go-carting, and to play arcade games. After that they brought ice cream home for everyone! She had a very fun time and talked alot about everything they did when they got home. It was good for both of them to have that time to spend together. Constance playing golf(he said on the last hole she got a hole in one!)
Playing a motorcycle ride. she got 5th place out of 8th all by herself. I think he was pretty impressed by this! lol

more golfing

she took this pic of daddy golfing

Getting ready for her "date"!!!

New Hair Cuts!

Back of Ivys(its getting so long!)

Back of Constances

Front of constances

I cut the girls hair this morning. Constances was just getting long and stringy looking so I cut a good two inches off the length. I think this length looks really cute on her. Ivys was just an all over mess. its so thick, so I layered it a little taking so weight off the back. I tried to grow her bangs out, but her hair grows straight forward. We will try again when she is a little older and will keep clippies in her hair. They last about 5 seconds in there now! lol

We have a winner!!!

Ok, my mom won! I will get you something fun and send it after we get back from Disney!!!

200th Post!!!!

Ok, as promised, my 200th post will be a fun one! I am stealing this idea from Jenny! Whoever can answer the two questions below first will get a souvenir from Disney World when we go. It may not be a huge gift, but it will be something fun! I thought today was a fitting day to do this since we leave a month from today!!!!! Im so excited I can hardly contain myself from packing all our bags now and going to the airport! lol

Ok, so here are the two questions!

1. On my post titled 4 Days to Go!!!!!!!!!!!!, What is in the picture I posted with it?

2. On Friday, November, 28th, what did I blog about?

You will have to search for these, but thats what makes it fun! Good luck!!!!
