JuJu: Our 'walking' miracle!!!!

Wednesday

Thanks to all of you who have commented. The girls are starting to feel better and so am I. I'm glad ya'll have enjoyed the videos too. It has been kind of nice too having 3 quiet days in a row. I have had a chance to see how much the girls are growing and pretend playing now.
River is my little Mini-me. She even corrects Skye when I'm not looking and will inform you as to who has the "stinkey". (Note to self: don't do anything you don't want anyone to know when she is around!) She has become very attached to a stuffed bear that was actually mine as a kid. Today, she went and handed the other girls their blankets and made sure they all had their color too! She will also inform you when the sippy cups are empty by shaking them and going " emp-ee"
Rayne is still my laid back cutie. She is also becoming a pack-rat. As Beau says, her hands are NEVER empty. She gathers everything when she goes to another room. Her crib is loaded with stuff, which she takes with her every morning. She LOVES to sing. You can listen to her in the middle of the night sing and talk to her sisters if they wake up & cry during the night. She also LOVES to dance and jump!
JuJu continues to amaze and scare me (and everyone else) daily. Today she practiced walking all day and climbed on top of the blue reclining chair. Usually Daddy is there for support, but she decided not to wait till he got home. Like Rayne, she loves to jump in her bed. She also is trying to keep up with her sisters and dance. And, she will point out all of the flowers for you.
Skye is becoming very independent. She has to put her own clothes on and ALL of them! Since she hasn't figured out how to put a shirt on, she puts them on just like her pants. The funny part is when she tries to walk with all of it on. Her favorite word is "NO", her favorite game is jumping off the couch, and her favorite part of the day is streaking thru the house after bath!
All four together!
Mmmm.... this cookie is good!
I wonder if Lucy's water is better than ours?
Just because she is so cute!
So who had the real designer purse? And where can I get a good deal on a Dolce & Gabbana?
River has become very maternal these last few days. Besides taking care of "Bear", she is also becoming the Mini-Mom. She seems to really enjoy correcting Skye!




I'm calling you Daddy! Now what is that international code again?

4 Little Girls, Jumping in the bed...

Monday morning sniff, sniff, sniff, cough, cough, cough

The title says it all!!!!

Beau is not out of town 48hrs & I have 4 sick kiddos. Sneezing, coughing, running nose & fever. Luckily, they haven't been too crabby, but I will say the patience & tolerance level is very low! Since the girls are sick, we cancelled all of our plans today. It was going to be a fun filled day of outings. Instead, we stayed inside and chilled out, watched TV, jumped in beds & off the couch. But little to no nap. (Mommy thinks we will sleep tonight. Hmmmm, we'll see!)

Rayne & Skye resting & watching tv.

Skye & Rayne at 2months old. They have grown alot in 20months!

Oil is how much a barrel?

Yeah, but can you believe what that announcer is wearing???? Now that is truly shocking!!!!


We miss you Daddy! Mommy is doing a good job, but she is still on the kick of no more bottles. And you're more fun to watch Elmo with. JuJu agrees. Be careful & come home soon! Skye & Rayne say hi too. Love you!

A Day In the Life of Us

Hi Dada!

For the next 2 weeks the blog will be for Beau as he travels around the world, LITERALLY! I can only say I'm so glad that technology is what it is today. So Honey, this is for you. I miss you & love you!
The girls must have known something was up all week. Of course, Beau, you are not even to the airport when River's nose became a faucet fully opened and Skye starts hacking a lung. I'm crossing my fingers its allergies. If not it will be a very LONG 2weeks.
I'm ready to go Daddy! We're traveling 1st class, right?!

He can't leave without me if I block the door! And the man coming to take him can't get in if I don't move!
I'm taking care of your chair for you Daddy. I won't let JuJu break it. I miss you! Mommy is threatening to take away our bottles. Please don't be long. No telling what other craziness she may come up with!

We decided to move Pillow Pile-up to the hallway. Rayne is making it leisure time though. As you can tell, Skye & JuJu are planning an attack. River is commanding from the back.
She who has the most rocks WINS!!!!
I have no idea how this one came to be, but River somehow got the dog leash around her waist. Skye then grabbed the leash and starting pulling her around. This will be a fun picture to torture them with as they get older, don't ya think!?!?!



Geaux Tigers!!!! LSU 26, Auburn 21!!!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!
Oh, yeah, your team won too! TEXAS 52, Rice 10

They're 22 months and LOTS of pics!

Oh, there is so much to catch up on! First, all of my family has made it thru IKE relatively unscathed, hallelueh! Beau's sister is still without power and a few fences have been lost. Otherwise, all is well! YEAH! My prayers continue to go out to everyone else affected by this storms and especially to all of the emergency responders rescue teams!!!
I loaded up some videos of the girls so I hope you enjoy them. The one of Skye sums up a few of the days we have had! The other is of them playing. And someone asked me about the ballpit: YES, they still play with it everyday and still LOVE it!!! Worth every penny! (it is from Eezy Peezy). The girls are getting so chatty and independent. Skye is definitely letting us know ALL about her wants. River has decided she is an adult. Rayne will sing her way thru life and lull you into a false sense of security as she robs you blind! JuJu took 26 steps the other day and her favorite words continue to be Elmo (memmo) & Dada!
The girls have started Kindermusik and it is wonderful! The girls are really starting to get the concept of circle time and participating and follow some directions (or at least the ones they like). Rayne usually takes advantage of this time to check out everyone's purses & shoes. We almost had a riot the first day because she was determined to take someone else's shoes. She did not want to let go! She wanted the designer Crocs and wanted nothing to do with her Target specials. Isn't this suppose to start like 12 years later???? AHAHAHAHHA!!!!
One thing Rayne is not shy or subtle about~ chocolate! I had some chocolate cookies the other day for the girls and Skye wasn't sure about taking the cookie from me or tasting it. She finally was going to, had her mouth open, cookie only millimeters away, and at the last .1 second, Rayne comes out of nowhere and grabs the cookie! Skye's face was hysterical, she didn't know if she was suppose to cry or get mad. I thought this may have been a fluke, but based on the continuing stealth like mission to get all of the cookies, I realized I have a serious chocolate addict on my hands. Sound familiar NONI!
Uh-oh! Busted! I swear it was her idea!


Oh, the many things you can do with a head band! Don't you wish your waist was that small??
Chillin' after a rowdy game of "pillow pile-up"!
Hey, You want in this action? I'll see your cracker & raise you 2 crackers with cheese! Oooohhhhh!!!!!!!
Too many things could be written here! One, she obviously lost the cracker-poker game. Two, the beginning of a new college drinking game. Three, just because!
This was them just a year ago!
