Barbie ball gowns!

I had heard last week at the farmers market that there is this sweet old lady who makes barbie dresses. I didn't get a chance to see her then, but today she was right across from me. I couldn't resist. I bought 4 from her and I got a free one too. I was going to give all of them to Kylie for Christmas but I couldn't wait, so she got one today. and guess what.... It was only $2.50. This isn't even the fanciest dress. I'll post the other ones after Kylie gets them. So if anyone wants a barbie ball gown let me know. She just makes them to keep herself busy, she's so sweet. The dress below is for Kylie's friend.

My two little twins!

About a month ago I showed Kylie some pictures of her when she was a baby and asked her who it was.... She replied by saying "Kolby". I told her that it wasn't Kolby and that it was her. She didn't believe me at first. So then I went and looked at pictures of both of them and they are totally twins... Let me know what you think!

Guess who?

Bum Genius 3.0 Baby!!!

So I've made the plunge to cloth diapers. Mostly it was for a year supply kind of thing, but it's also saving us a lot of money. I've talked to several people about our switch and a few of them are going to make the switch too. I really like the ones that I got because they are a one size fits all. Kaleb and Kolby can wear them, I just have to change the position of the snaps. I'm amazed at how well they work and they are not that much extra work. Anyways, here are the boys in their new diapers.

Kolby the toe sucking baby looking all cute in his yellow diaper... I've also got green ones.
Kaleb was just having too much fun in his new diapers. He actually got mad at me when I took them off and put him back in a regular huggies. I still have a few packs of diapers I need to finish using.
They can take a running toddler with no problems
Kaleb is just pointing out his new diapers

These things really do work just like a regular diaper.... Everyone needs to make the switch!



As the Doodle Bops say... "Don't you worry when the lights go out"

I can't hold it against Kylie for not wanting to sleep in her room. She's always a little scared of the dark, as was I as a child. I slept with a night light... I'm not ashamed to admit it. Well Kylie gets a little spooked by the shadows that are made by the night light. Darned if she does, Darned if she doesn't kind of thing. She still ends up in my bed most nights, but at least I get her to start off in her bed with this new remedy. When I was little I used to go to bed with all my dolls and stuffed animals all around me. If I can ever find that picture I'll post it next to Kylie's. Every night I tell Kylie a story before going to bed. This particular night after hearing her talk about being scared I told her about what I used to do to get all protected for bed. She wanted to give it a try. So I placed all her dolls and stuffed animals all around her. A few minutes later she asked to have them all taken off because she had to scratch her leg and couldn't do it for some reason with all the chaos. So after all the scratching was finished... she was able to go to sleep

He discovered his toes!


Kolby discovered he has toes now. He's found his new past time when on the floor. Who needs toys around when he's got two toys attached to him. He will rock himself back and forth holding on to his feet. They even work as a binky when his isn't around. 'I've got some more sucking toes pictures but they are being reserved for another post.

playing computer

So the other day I was working on the computer making some mock-ups of some signs that people had ordered. I guess I was a little preoccupied and neglected the kids a bit as you can see by the mess of toys by the door. So Kylie got a brilliant idea to play on a computer too. She got some pictures out of Kalebs room and made them into a computer. She used an empty box as her computer desk, and took an ornament off the Christmas tree as a mouse. For some reason she needed a work hat, so she got my strainer for that.

Kaleb wanted to join in on the fun too, so he sat down and started typing away. I wanted to get a picture of Kylie, the master mind behind this mess, but Kaleb wouldn't give up his seat. It was all I could do to have him give Kylie the "hat" for a picture.
