February 2011

So I have decided to blog about the whole month once a month and if there are birthdays and holidays or something special I will blog seperate for those. I am doing my blog books and I found it's better this way. Anyways on to February.... I feel like this year already has been so full of emtions! A emtional roller coaster.... It has been really hard to handle somethings that have happened but at the same time an amazing joy to handle others. I just am so thankful I have the gospel in my life because without it, how on earth would I be okay?? I don't handle things very well. I wrote to my Mom that if something happens to me it's like whatever!!! But if something happens to someone else- even people I don't know I cry till I can't anymore and after that some how I cry more. It's ridiculous! So with the gospel it somehow makes me come back to life and realise things will be okay.

February has been the month of picking up Belle's clothes constantly.... She plays dress up 100% of her day. Every time I look at her she is wearing something totally different. I love this picture of her in her swim suit. This is crazy but I feel like that pictures describes how I feel at times this year. I am stuck inside but just open the window and the sun is waiting. It is funny how a picture can make you think.

This is my little gangsta! I don't even get how she comes up with these outfits! But she makes me laugh all day long!

I am so grateful for days like these.... Beautiful and not raining.... All the kids in my apartment complex ring my door bell like 50 times till I finally get the kids dressed and come out and play. They are all older but seem to love to play with Belle and Cash. Belle always seems to find Jordan and play on his skate board. I think Belle is going to be a "girly punk" when she is older. She is in love with black nail polish, skate boards, dirt bike looking tricycles "NOT that pink one Mom that cool one instead!", music with a hard beat and sweet guitars.... but she loves tutu's, dresses, lip gloss, tea parties, and cute stuffed animals!!! Haha I am excited to see what she is going to be like when she is older!

We went to our park in the beginning of this month and Belle said, "Mom look at that cloud way over there- I want that one for my pillow!" Hahah She kept trying to get Cash to look at it but he was too busy laughing on the swings.

I love how the sun is shining through in this picture.

Oh Cash hahahaha he was not happy touching those sticks!!! He just kept crying after I put him down! He has turned into such a funny boy! He has learned to do peek a boo, blow kisses, clap, fold his arms, drink from a cup (kind of), and feed himself (kind of) by himself! He also has learned to stay in time out for 30 seconds (Belle didn't like that she went in time out and not Cash when he was not nice... so he learned time all about time out!! ha!), he loves playing hide and seek, he is getting so picky about what he eats now- he spits his food out just like Belle! He learns everything from Belle. But Belle did teach him how to share, they spend forever handing things back and forth to each other! I just love these two! I love hearing Belle say, "Come on Tash, follow me Tash!"- "come play Tash, come on little boy!!!"  Hah I hope they stay close!

Belle trying the splits in another "interesting" outfit!

February is over and I am ready for a new month. It almost feels like a fresh start. We are still sick but hopefully by the end of this week we will all be better. You know maybe I should talk about Monkey's life a little. Monkey is a champ! That is all I got to say. He gets up everyday goes to school, comes home at night eats dinner, plays with the kids, then studies, then puts the kids to bed with me, then he studies some more. I am so impressed how he deals with everything. He never complains- he just knows what he has to do and he does it. I am so amazed what he can do! I just love a respect him so much!
