Future Realtor

So my mom and I are going to Real Estate School. My dad has more work than he knows what to do with right now so I figured, why not? The Girls are getting to an age where I feel comfortable taking on another responsibility. It's one that I can work at my own pace and still be there for my family. Plus it feels good to put my mind to use in a ways that will help me grow as a person. We decided to take a 3 week course, 2 classes a day 3 days a week. I wanted to make sure I still got to see the girls while I did this. It's also kind of fun to see how happy they are when I come home. I get lots of hugs and kisses (especially from Grace. She really is the most affectionate 2 year old you will ever meet.)

So wish my mom and I luck!

Isn't she lovely?

Sadie found Mikayla's make-up and applied it all by herself.

Dave's B-Day celebration at my parents house.
Dave didn't appriciate the waterproof marker tribute to mom and dad tattoos.
Playing in the dirt with their nice shoes and white shirts. I kept saying, "Careful!!" And my dad said, "Geez mom! You're no fun!"
I was trying to take a picture of Grace and accidentally focused on Sadie. I like it though.
She looks so much like me when I was 2. I'm gonna have to find some pictures and post them so you can see.

When Grace gets ahold of the little kitty she does not want to let it go. She carries it around as if it were a stuffed animal.
BUBBLES!
MORE BUBBLES!
Grace trying to blow bubbles. She can do it too by the way.
Sadie blowing bubbles. She can do it to.

Found some pics

I'm a slacker

So I have been slacking BIG TIME on taking pictures. For a while there I was doing really well remembering to take my camera wherever I went. Not anymore. Maybe it's cause it's not small enough to fit in my purse. It has it's own bag and who wants to carry an extra bag with you wherever you go. Not me. But I will try to get more pictures. In the mean time, I'll tell you about a Gracie moment that brought tears to me eyes.
Last night Dave was playing with the girls. He was growling, pretend bitting, tickeling and so on. But after a while, I guess either Grace was tired of playing and trying to get Dave to stop, or she just really wanted to hug him. She reached her arms around his shoulders, laid her head down and started rubbing and patting his back. The first time she did it Dave didn't realize what she was trying to do so he kept trying to play with her. Once Dave realized what she was doing he sat down and held her while she hugged him and pat his back. Grace is the most affectionate 2 year old you will ever meet. She will come up to you out of the blue and give you a hug and/or a kiss. Just because she feels like it. Sadie on the other hand, I can't even get her to hug and kiss ME half the time let alone anyone else. But I think she's getting better.
