Calista's Celebrity Look-A-Likes

Looks like Calista looks a lot like Christina Ricci

Faces of Ursula

I have to take pictures of Ursula when she isn't aware of me doing so most of the time... so, in most of these pictures, I'm actually playing Barbies with her and making her smile/laugh using the dolls.

She knew I was taking the pictures of her with the kitten. The kittens are cool, they let the kids play with them... but, they aren't like ragdolls, like how some kittens are when they raised with kids. They've very playful too. Cute, cute, cute.

We have 2 of them given away already; just waiting for them to wean.

School Daze

Here's a couple of pics of Calista taken after getting home from school.

Mini Mom

Here's Ursula, practicing her 'AP' (attachment parenting) style with multiple babies... in that first pic, you see 4 babes in one backpack carrier (same one I used with her and for Wyatt now) and the 2nd pic, you see the backpack carrier is now used for carrying baby items and she's using the stroller for 3 babies while she holds one that dressed like herself... LOL That child cracks me up... never know what she'll say and do...

Interference

Here's Wyatt interfering with whatever his sisters are doing, especially in regards to that little desk... No matter where it was moved to, he'd go get it... its just so fun to stand up next to!

New Pictures

Since I can't seem to upload pictures to blogger.com... I'm using photobucket.com to link pics here... that's also the reason why I haven't been updating as much I normally do! I hate that I can't upload directly to blogger!

She told me she was doing flips... LOL

Ursula & Olivia Swimming

This was just too cute! Both girls are actually swimming under water! Cherie and I (and Jeremy, of course) are so proud of them! Olivia will be 4 in September. Ursula will be 4 in December.

Oh, the video looked pixilated but on my PC, it looks awesome! Photobucket.com truncates long videos.

I Believe I Can Fly...

Amazing, huh?

Bet ya never knew my kids could fly!

Here's Calista:

Here's Ursula:
Okay, here's the uncropped versions of the 2 above photos :D

And finally, here's Racquelle throwing herself since Jeremy wasn't able to due to his back hurting him... hilarious, huh?

More Pictures

I took these pictures within the last couple of weeks.

Ursula

I took this one this morning.

She's been taking such silly pics lately, I was glad to get a decent one!

Her Aunt Jessica took this picture of Ursula sleeping on the floor while we were over there visiting; too funny :D

I took this one while we were at Jessica & Jared's. I like how it came out; she was in mid-swing... and yes, that's a baby swing :)

For some reason, kids always want to swing in the baby swings; well, at least mine do.

She now tells me, "Mom, the wind is blowing my hair!" hehehe Her hair is finally growing! yay!

And her favorite movie right now is Pocahontas. She was running through our tall grass (gosh it grows fast!) and she told me 'this is what Pocahontas does!'.

Calista

Calista's Aunt Tasha took the first 2 pics on this entry when Calista went sleep over there last week.

And here she is posing in the middle of playing at her Paw-paw's house; she saw me get the camera out and point it at her... so much for 'natural' shots, huh? lol

Calista Rides A 2-Wheeled Bike!

We were all so excited!

She's on Ursula's bike... the actual first good attempt today was on her own bike, but of course, I didn't get that :( But, she was real comfortable on Urs' :D

My Girlies :)

I took these today.

Nowadays, its hard to get a 'good' picture of Ursula simply because she wants to make funny faces all the time!


Now, Calista, is as photogenic as ever :D

I can always count on her to take good pictures :)

Oh, this picture with her next to Jeremy's car, that's a pose she wanted to do :D heh heh

Testing Week

Calista only had to go to school for 30 minutes this week; and that was today. The school is testing their students individually (last week was the Iowa tests).

When Calista came out, she said her teacher said she passed and I told her, "I knew you would!" Then she told me that her teacher said she was reading at 2nd grade level and that she'd had had the best results so far our of her classmates.

Meanwhile, Ursula, Wyatt, and I waited... Ursula was growing antsy; wanting to go to Calista's classroom. So, Ursula passed some of her time looking at the mural.

Oh, isn't Calista's school just soooo cute? I found that at a thrift store for like 15 cents! I just love finding great deals! Her shoes were also a thrift store find for like $1.

Calista & Ursula Today

Headstands

Calista is doing handstands a lot now :D She's really good at it.

Tasha took these pictures :D

Finally Some New Pics of My Girls

Taken today with my new Kodak EasyShare 5.0 MP camera (THANKS KIMBER!!!).

I haven't taken too many pictures yet as we had a really busy day today and I just received it.

Ursula was telling me how much she missed Nannie, Angele, Cherie, Olivia, and Racquelle... so, I told her I'd call mom when we got home from Tasha's house.

When we got home, I saw that mom had called a few times while we were gone anyways. So, I tell her about Ursula and she figures she can come over for a couple of days since she hadn't been here in a little while. So, she's here since yesterday evening.

Ursula had fever Sat. night and yesterday... and she was crying about her left ear. So, today, I went ahead and brought her to the dr. to see if she has an ear infection, and sure enough, she does. He also suggested that we bring her to speach therapy. He said he'd get his nurses to look up some info about it and call me later.

Look at Calista's arms in that picture! hehehe She's cut :D hehehe She'll be an excellent gymnast. I'm going to see about putting her in there.

Oohhhh, Ursula can whistle! Its so cute!

Just a Few Tidbits Concerning Ursula

She can work the mouse really well now... in fact, she opens up programs on my desktop (the ones she wants to play with anyways).

She can work the VCR and TV in her room.

She's been on a carbohydrate kick lately... eating plain rice, noodles, and bread. Weird. Otherwise, she's been eating PB&J all day long. I fix her one bread at a time though. She'll eat like 3 a day or so.

She still likes coffee and alcohol but isn't sneaking it as much as she was... yay!

When she watches TV, she'll imitate the people's actions and lines and expressions.

She likes to imitate Wyatt too... she'll watch him and then tell me, "Mom, he just did this" and do whatever he did; its funny because it can just be a funny look or a look with his mouth open.

She keeps picking Wyatt up.... moving him from chair to chair to sofa to me, etc. Tells me that he wants her to do that.

She does a good job matching her clothes too.

She is still into her baby dolls. She's been making them dance and kiss... LOL And if I watch her and she sees me watching, she says, "Mommmm...." and clicks her tongue... she does that alot... that little sound and rolls her eyes... yes, she continues to have an attitude! And she's still conniving... Lots of people saw that in her eyes from way back when she was still a baby!

And she loves The Veggie Tales! hehehe
