My sweetest treasures

 Today was a sad day. There was a big shooting involving an entire Kindergarten class. It breaks my heart. But Today I chose to spend time making memories with my sweet babies. Im thankful for them every day. Even when they drive me insane. They are the best blessings I could have ever received and I couldnt have picked to better little girls for me to love, and drive me bonkers. 

Here is Mikelle

As you can see she is the character of the family. Always so funny. She is hilarious. So sweet and crazy smart! Did I mention she is rocking at potty training! Here is my hoot Mikelle. 

 So pretty

 KIRSTEN

My mini me.  I got some picks of Kirsten after she got back from preschool. Such a pretty little girl and she gives the best hugs and kisses! She is really smart too and is always one step ahead of me, she keeps me on my toes.

The girls and I had fun tonight and built a fort after dinner. They had a blast! Although I think towards the end they were having more fun knocking it down and watching me put it back together.

These girls are my sweetest treasures and I am so grateful to be able to feel the true spirit of Christmas, Its not about Santa Clause and nice gifts or stupid trees (notice how ours isn't up yet lol) Its about Christ and spending time with your loved ones and being grateful for what you have that money cannot buy. Life is a precious gift and I am thankful for my family, all of my family. 

Mikelles potty training!!!

Mikelle is officially potty trainging! She is doing pretty decent! we started her mid day Saturday. Went and picked out her new very own panties (which we had to write "M" on the inside since she wears same size as Kirsten) and for some reason little panties look so cute on little babies! She is only 22 months therefore she has not hit the toddler stage yet ;) 

Today she only had 2 uh ohs! Yeah Mikelle! 

She loves to watch movies on the potty while big sister Kirsten is at preschool

Soon we will be all out of diapers in this house!!!

Mikelle has a big girl bed!!!

Mikelle is growing up so fast! She is 22 months old now!!! Crazy huh!!! Almost 2! She crawls out of her bed all the time and refuses to nap anyways so we decided it was time for a big girl bed! 

I knew a general style that I wanted for her room then waited till I found it available on craigslist.I love that site!

 Grandma was in town and she wanted to take the girls out to pick their own bedding.(Kirsten never got a bed set when she switched to a big girl bed) Mikelle picked out the horsey bedding which I don't think it could have been more perfect for her. The night before I was telling my mom that Mikelle loved horseys and we should make her room into a cowgirl room then we found the perfect matching horsey bedding! I love it when that happens!

Here are the girls showing off for the pics of Mikelle with her bed 

(of course Kirsten wanted to be in the photos too)

 Mikelles new hiding spot

 And what do you know she actually sleeps better in it and takes naps in it again!!! YEAH!

 

And here is Kirsten with her cool owl/ birdie bedding
