Top 5 Things You Should Know About My Girls!

Abagail Jean


She has a very good friend. . . her name is Shug. . . she’s a life size Barbie. Abagail takes her everywhere, or at least everywhere she’s allowed. You know how some kids have an imaginary friend, or at least I DID, any who, this is pretty much the same way except Shug takes up room. . . couch space, vehicle space, bed space (in Abagail’s bed, but Abagail doesn’t mind). Abagail treats her like a real person, wants to brush her teeth (which she doesn’t have any), puts band aids on her when she gets hurt, changes her clothes (which is okay cause Shug & Abagail wear the same size), & even tried to put her on the potty once (but I had to draw the line somewhere, that wasn’t allowed) Anyways, just thought I’d share that we have a new member to our family!!!


Abagail is a junk-food-junkie! Loves candy, chips, anything that has alot of sugar or salt!


Abagail kind-of has a temper. . . she stomps her feet & cries when she doesn’t get her way & yells at us that what we just gave her was not what she wanted (it was the wrong color or something) . . .okay so maybe she not just kind-of has a temper, she DOES have a really bad one. (Can you guess who she gets this from?!?!)



Abagail loves to sleep in the living room, our room, anywhere but her bed. We let her do this on the weekends & she really thinks she’s getting away with something!


She loves TV . . . Sponge Bob, iCarly, Josh & Drake, & her favorite movie is ‘Mary Poppins’. Unfortunately, the VCR ate the old-time VHS tape last week:( We try not to even mention the word movie now till we find a replacement.


Now . . . onto Maci Sue (who by the way will be turning TWO really soon)


Maci Sue


Maci Sue is definitely a Momma's Girl (which I am very proud of). She always, & I mean always wants me to hold her. From the time I get home, she is at my legs asking to be held and if we go anywhere, you can surely find Maci Sue in my arms. (I know this won't last for long. . .so I'm just gonna hold her till she doesn't want me to anymore. . . hummm, is that called spoiling?!?!)


Like most younger siblings, Maci follows in her sister's foot steps. Anything Abagail does, asks for, or has, Maci is all about it. Maci is Abagail's little shadow!


Maci is our little book reader. . . or what, she can't read, I do the reading & she is the book listener. We have read the same Elmo book since x-mas & she now has it memorized!


She LOVES to be scared, which is a good thing since her Daddy-O is always scaring her. He's constantly hiding behind a wall or door, jumping out at her, me or Abagail & Maci Sue just giggles & asks him to do it again!:) Don't worry Maci gets him back!!!


Lastly, the way to put a smile on Maci's face is to give her something to eat! She loves food & has always been a great eater. At preschool, they send a note home about what they had for dinner & Maci's always says ALL, X2. Abagail's note on the other hand usually says TRIED IT:)

Many Faces of Maci Sue

This seems to be the face we see most when we ask for a smile from Maci Sue.

It sure puts a smile on our faces!

Just a few pics

Just having Fun!

We have a biter

Poor Abagail . . .

Maci has become a biter. So far her only victims are Abagail & myself, even at that, this is not a good thing. Any suggestions on how to get her to stop this are welcomed. So sad. . .

Snow Bunnies!

We Are Free!!!!

Can't wait till Spring gets here.

What's wrong with this pic?

While in the bath tub playing with these bath people, Abagail told me a story-line as to why she is dressing them the way she did. "The Momma is always cold so she needs alot of clothes on & the Daddy-O is always hot so he needs to wear the swimming suit"

Smart thinking!

Happy / Not Happy

For Once, Abagail is not the one doing all the screaming & crying. Maci Sue decided to fill Abagail's shoes in this area.

I guess now that Abagail has side-kick-Barbie to hang with, she's putting on all the smiles, while Maci is showing us how good her lungs are.

Car rides are never fun for us. We've tried everything . . . and if one girl's not screaming the other one is.

Super Star Student & Mother of the Year

SUPER STAR STUDENT MACI SUE!!!

I am so proud that Maci Sue was selected as the super star student of the month at her preschool. Along with this title, a poster board had to be made about Maci, this was due by Monday. I, being the procrastinator that I am, waited till 9:00 pm Sunday night to begin this project. Come 11:30, I called it quits & this is what I ended up with. I thought it looked pretty good so I took some pics of the poster board & called it a night. . . Monday night it was brought to my attention that I deserved the mother-of-the year-award for the poster board. My brother Willy, his girlfriend, Emily, works at the girl's preschool & she noticed one small mistake on the poster. Okay, maybe not a small mistake, but a HUGE mistake. Maci Sue's birthday is WRONG. I feel TERRIBLE. It's the 22nd, not the 2nd.
NOW, we can't place all the blame on me as Ryan proof read the board Monday morning & said everything looks good. Terrible, Terrible parents. At least Maci Sue is not old enough to know that her own parents wrote down her birthday wrong & no one is to let her know of this in the future either!!!:)

Here's what happened . . . The 2nd has been a significant day for Ryan & I from the beginning, we met on the 2nd, got married on the 2nd, Abagail's birthday is on the 2nd, & found out we were pregnant with Maci on the 2nd . . . So, guess the 2nd was what popped in my mind at 11:00 at night. . . I know- I know- Excuses, Excuses!

Making room

Since the girls got so much stuff for Christmas, we had to rearrange our furniture to fit in their new presents. Here's some pics of the girl's toy corner.

New Years Day

Due to the diagnosis of Pneumonia for Maci Sue, we spent our New Years Eve & Day at home. Not sure who enjoyed it more, the girls getting to spend time with Emmie & Uncle Willy & playing with their X-mas toys OR Ryan spending multiple hours playing Wii. Many, many games were played resulting in some sore muscles, or at least for me:)

Sleeping Beauties

I so adore a sleeping baby! Even though the girls are 3 & almost 2, they are still my babies.

Daddy-O time

Check this our Momma . . . No Hands!!!
Abagail had to get in on all the action too.

Remember when it was cool to get shoulder, biggy-back, & horsie rides! The thrill of being way up high or the chance of being bucked off . . . what fun that was!
