Favorite Foto Friday #29: NO Theme....

Happy Leap Year Everyone...

The rain frog above was on the outside of our house one night, So I thought it would be cute for the The Leap Year day. I like frogs so I thought it was cute, And NO I didn't touch it.

And now for some cuteness.. This was Madisyn July 2007 at my MIL in PA. She was so freakin little and had NO hair....I miss those little days.

And this picture just because she was adorable in it...

I love you Madisyn from here to the moon!

My Days are a BLUR.....

I'm here, But my days feel so much like a blur....The hours in a day go by so fast, My oldest daughter is about to be in kindergarten. Well not really but it feels like it. Having two kids one toddler and an infant is pretty much a task in itself. I love it but it is challenging. Jed still working nights and me still having two extra kids during the day, My days are non-stop until about 9:30 every night and then I'm washing bottles, loading the dishwasher, picking up toys galore...and by about 10:30, I feel like night of the living dead. I'm exhausted, and my house needs scrubbing, But for now we are living a happy family life of 4....
Both girls did go to the Dr last week, and the stats are:

Madisyn: 23.7 pounds
30.3 inches tall

Grace : 11.5 pounds
23.5 inches tall

Now for some cuteness.....

This little thing is growing like a bad weed...

Grace looking at Madisyn and trying to figure out what is so good on TV...

All clean and ready for bed........Bottle first though MOM

Now I'm ready....

And I'm not sure what happen to the RANT blog, But it's gone....So now I see a new one lingering around and I'm not sure who's it is, But ladies I want in on the FIGHT CLUB blog....Please!!!!!!!!

FFF #27- Sleeping Angels....

Sarah has been doing FFF for 27 weeks now and she started adding Themes to them....It's really fun to see all the diffrent babies and what a fun way to share your blog with friends. So here is my favorite foto's of the theme....I love my girls to the moon and back.

One Year Later...The Journey Continues

One Year ago today we landed in Miami on US soil....I will never forget that moment that I had waited for the previous 8 months. I never thought the day would come and then all of a sudden it was here. Madisyn was 8 months old the day we brought her home and now she is 20 months old and has grown into a little person. I love this little girl to the moon and back, and I thank GOD everyday for bringing her to us.

In the Miami airport

First night in her new home and new bed.

Valentine's Day 2007 meeting Pawpaw for the first time...

I will never forget this picture, It was the cutest we took of her..

And my little angel today....She has grown so much and I love her to peices..

Another one bites the dust.......

Well I can't believe another week has come and gone....Can someone tell me where time is going?
We have just been enjoying our weather outside....It has been breezy and about 70 degrees here.
I'm so excited that in 3 days we get to celebrate One year being on US soil....that is another great post though for February 13, so stay tuned. This 31 year old mommy got a new haircut, My hair was so long it was being stuck in a ponytail all the time because my hair is so thick, If I blow dry it I have to flat iron it, and that takes too much time with two little ones to care for...So you guys have to see my new dew before the cuteness....Well because that's how the pictures posted...

Me post haircut December.23

Still Post haircut....But a little better, December.23

And the NEW me.....February.9, 2008

Now onto the cuteness....Look at my babies...

One happy Papa with his two girl.....

My little princess is growing up....

We asked Madisyn is she wanted baby sissy to sleep with her, and this is the response we got...

Look at that little half grin Madisyn gave when I placed Gracie on her lap....

Favorite Foto Friday #26.....WONDERFUL

Well for Fav Foto Friday I have a few....Four to be exact. As some of you may remember Gracie's mom only gave us a signed letter when we got her(no notary) and we couldn't do anything with it. Well she was coming today to see the baby (held her for 3 minutes, Jed timed her) and go with us to the bank to have a more detailed letter signed and Notarized. Well she showed up, Visited the baby for 3 minutes, We went to the bank and I tell u GOD walked with us because the bank couldn't do it because it was a legal contract, So they sent us to the attorney across the street. And not only did they notarize the document, Which by the way we can file it with the courts since it is a legal document....And the father can't even come and get her without fighting it in court, AND They made her sign a consent form to adopt...Of coarse we still have to worry a little about the father, But the mother signed a consent/waiver for us to adopt her... CAN I GET A WOOOOHOOOO???????

So my first foto is the consent form....

A closer view for the vision impaired.....

And now the best for last Favorite Foto Friday....My sleeping Angels.....

Big me....

And Mrs Carrie, does anything in Gracie's crib look familar. And Ginger I love u, I can't think u enough for little Gracie's crib. You told me to keep praying that I would need it. Thanks ya'll

So that is our days lately...BUSY, BUSY, BUSY.....DID I mention that our days are BUSY??? I love it though. Exept for Madisyn terrible TWO tempers she is giving us. She will cry about everything. If you look at her she is crying.....Gosh please let this pass SOON!!!!!!!!!!

I fell off a Freightrain.....I THINK

Well I have been one busy momma....Having two small kids is more than a handfull, Plus I babysit 2 others...So we are talking 4 kids under the age of 2.
I'm loving every minute of it. Madisyn and Mariah have been the best of kids in the world.
We are still experimenting formula's for Mariah, We think she has reflux and just when we think we have it figured out, The vomiting starts again. So hopefully the Dr can help us out.
Madisyn is growing like crazy...My baby will be 2 in four months and I don't know how it happened.

I will post some pics later tonight. I hope everyone is doing well.

And I have been tagged so I will do that tonight too!

EDITED: I have been tagged by Corey and Kelli....
Here is what you do: The rules are to link the person who sent this and leave a comment on their blog so their readers can read yours~post the rules~Share 7 weird things~tag 7more people~leave a comment so they know they have been tagged.
Here are 7 weird things:

1: I hate hair on me, Especially in the shower...WET hair makes me sick I litterly freak out!!!

2: I'm a worrier, I don't do alot of stuff because I worry about the bad stuff that can happen. This is serious....

3: Everything has to be in place at my house..I'm very much a neat freak, Chairs have to be in place, Cabinet doors shut, Toilet paper flipped under...Everything in a place.

4: I tell myself I don't care what people think, But I kiss alot of butt so people will like me.

5: I can't stand people who think they are better than other people...God created us equal Know people lets be EQUAL...

6: I'm a planner, If something isn't planned with me there is a good chance I won't do it. I even plan on the time I take the kids outside during the week. If it's not on our plans for the day, The kids doesn't go outside that day. TOTALLY WEIRD

7: And last but not least, I want that fairy tale life, But I pick alot of arguments to see if I can win!!!

And I'm not going to tag anyone because it has already made it's rounds.....

And alot of people keep asking if Mariah is ours now....Yeah pretty much she is, Her mom gave us Permanant Custody with signing all of her rights away.
