Kindergarten, Boyfriends, and a "Wewy Big Bum"!

Wow, what a title! I know that is what you are thinking! This is all pretty random, so hang in there! Today we had Kaybree's Kindergarten Orientation. We got to go to her school, see the class rooms, and listen about a few things the kids will be learning next year. It was lots of fun and Ariel is excited. I don't really know what track choice I want, we listed our preference as A,D,C,B who knows what we will end up with since there are 10 kindergarten classes next year!

Today we went to lunch with our adopted family across the street. I call Kirsten my wife and she calls me her wife. We are always doing things for each other. I make dinner for them when she works, she makes dinner for us when Bryce is gone, we watch each others kids. It works out very well. I understand polygamy now! Just Kidding! Anyway, our kids are inseparable today at lunch, I found out through Kirsten, who overheard the girls talking, that Kaybree has a boyfriend! His name is Cameron and he talks in a funny voice to her! I asked Kaybree about him, she blushed and admitted that indeed, she did like Cameron! I don't even know who Cameron is. He goes to her preschool and he talks in a funny voice to her. That is all I know! I am not ready for all of this!

Now apparently I have a "wewy big bum." This conversation actually happened a few weeks ago and I didn't write it down so here it goes! We were at the Gateway Mall downtown in the food court bathroom. Oakley had to go potty so we all squeezed into the tiny bathroom stall. Oakley went first. Then I decided that I should probably go too since we were already there. Well, Oakley in the loudest voice says, "Mommy whats dat smell!" (I swear it wasn't me) I tell her, "that is just the smell of the bathroom." Then she says, "Mommy dat is wewy stinky!" At this point I hear a few snickers from surrounding goers. Then she says, "Mommy, you have a wewy big bum!" Again, more snickering. I just kept shushing her, and shushing her some more, and hoped that nothing else would come out of that cute little mouth. After all of that, I waited a few minutes before emerging from the bathroom stall hoping that all those who heard would have left the bathroom. They did, the coast was clear. Seriously, nothing is sacred after having kids!

Another Crazy Week!

I don't know about any of you, but we have had the flu bug hit our house this week! Bryce has been sick along with Oakely again! Both of my parents are sick and my neighbor too! Oakley got sick Monday morning. She kept throwing up Monday and Tuesday. Monday was the worst. I was holding Oakley and she threw up in my hair and down my shirt. She had just eaten some top ramen, so I had noodles in the strangest places! Tuesday she was still trowing up, but she was doing a little better. That night she woke up crying about her ear. Wednesday I took her to the doctor. She has the flu and double ear infections. (AGAIN) She had tubes put in her ears when she was 12 months old. One has fallen out due to growth and the other is still in place. Anyway, she is doing better now.

Last night I got a break. I went to the Hale's Center Theater. The play Civil War was going on. It was so good! I seriously didn't listen in my history classes growing up! I had no idea that over 620,000 people were killed in the war!

For those of you who don't know, I make bows and sell them. I had a big order that I just turned in to the Hello Kitty Store (Sanrio) at South Towne Mall. I took those in tonight and finished setting up my bow blog! http://www.brittsbows.blogspot.com/ or you can see it linked on my blog Britt's Bows!

Needless to say, it has been a very busy week at the Newbold's!

Happy Easter!

Easter morning we woke up to the girls squealing with delight! They could see that the Easter Bunny had left a bunch of eggs in the backyard. They were eagerly anticipating the hunt! Bryce and I took our time getting out of bed and brushing our teeth, only to heighten their excitement! Before we hunted for the eggs, we had to find their Easter buckets. The Easter Bunny hid them in the dryer. That was a very tricky place so we had to play the game Hot and Cold! After finding their buckets, we went outside and hunted down all of the eggs! I don't think the girls have ever been this excited! Not even for Santa! Don't get me wrong, they are excited for Santa, but the girls have never given us the reaction that I hope to see. This time they finally did! Can you believe they got that excited over plastic eggs?!?! I forgot to take pictures of the girl's in their Easter dresses so I'll take pictures next week!The girl's had lots of fun dying eggs at our house, dying eggs at Grandma Janet's and Grandpa Dean's house, Having an Easter egg hunt at Gracie's park,
and another Easter Egg hunt at Grandma Janet's and Grandpa Dean's!

Before and After!

Okay, so I totally forgot to take a before picture, but you can kind of see in the background of this picture. The walls are a beige color, and the light is a silver chandelier. And now.... Not the best picture, but you get the idea. I painted one wall red,and hung a new bronze chandelier! I also made the curtains. Right now they are long, I might shorten them, or make just a valance. What do you think?
My favorite part is actually the plate rack! I just hung a wreath in the center instead of a plate! Super fun!
So that is what I do when Bryc is gone! Seriously, I want to know what you think I should do with the curtains...any great ideas???

The Girl's Picture's!

One Crazy Week!

So, I kind of dropped off the face of the internet world for a week! We have been soooo busy! Well, I should say I have been soooo busy, Bryce was out of town last week. Whenever he leaves, I try to become wonder woman, I try to stuff as much as possible into the week. I got the girls pictures taken, took the girls to Disney Princesses on Ice, redecorated my kitchen, and painted one wall in my kitchen red! I didn't tell Bryce that I was doing any of it! I wanted to see his reaction! He loves it, so I am safe! Oh one more thing, I bought a new hanging light in the kitchen, and rewired it myself! Thank you very much! Ha..Ha..Ha! I'll find a before picture and take an after picture soon!

New Swimming Suits!

Yesterday we went to Costco. The girls saw the Disney Princess Swim Suits and had to have them. Well, they haven't taken the suits off since we got home! I really love the bunched up panties underneath! I do have to say, one of my favorite things ever is little girls bums hanging out of their swim suits! Usually it's that little wedgie they are totally oblivious to! Ha..Ha..Ha! I love it!

What Is Your True Color?

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Green

You're green, the color of growth and vigor. Good-hearted and giving, you have a knack for finding and bringing out the best in people. Green is the most down-to-earth color in the spectrum — reliable and trustworthy. People know they can count on you to be around in times of need, since your concern for people is genuine and sincere. You take pride in being a good friend. For you, success is measured in terms of personal achievement and growth, not by status or position. Rare as emeralds, greens are wonderful, natural people. It truly is your color!

What are you?

That sounds nice and all, but they haven't seen me at my worst! I know a few other definitions for green as well!!! Ha..Ha..Ha!!!

Baby Bear Cubs!

Bryce is such a great Daddy! Saturday, he took the girls over to Sportsman's Warehouse to see the baby bear cubs. They had to stand in line for a little while, but the wait was worth it. They were able to hold a baby bear cub and get their picture taken with it. We had a few nightmare's about bears last year when we went camping, so this was the perfect thing to take the girls to. Oakley said that she wants a baby bear cub for a pet now! She doesn't realize that they do grow up!

Our Celebrity Look-alikes!

Ha Ha Ha... Isn't this funny! I am a white version of Beyonce!! 83%

I don't know the first guy, but the second one! Ed Deline on Las Vegas!

Kaybree's best match was Rita Hayworth! She's a little cutie! All I can say is Bryce and I are in for some trouble in the future!

Oakley's best match was Oprah!!! Maybe that explains her curly hair! Another little cutie! Big trouble, big trouble!!!

Spring, Please Come!

There I am on top of our roof! Bryce is afraid of heights, I am not. Therefore I get to put up, and take down the Christmas lights. I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, but I really wish it would pick up and leave already! The girls are still singing Christmas songs, and we keep spotting elves. Jingle Bells is one of their favorites. We still sing it every night as part of our bedtime routine. The lights keep getting turned on and our neighbors think we are the Griswold's. So Saturday was the day, rain or shine the lights were coming down! Did the Ground Hog see his shadow? Is spring coming?

Sick Day!

Today was a long day. We woke up to Oakley thowing up!!! (yummy) She stayed sick the rest of the day. By the days end, she had thrown up six times. :( Poor thing. I was very busy cleaning up one mess after another. As I passes through the family room, I couldn't help but laugh when I found them sitting on the couch with their 3D-glasses on. Kaybree is a wonderful big sister. She made sure Oakely was well taken care of all day. Just when you think you've had enough they go and do somethnig so cute! Works every time!

Girl's Night Out!

First of all let me just tell you how wonderful Bryce is! I had a girl's night last week, and again this week, and Bryce didn't complain at all! Last week Bryn was in town. That obviously doesn't happen all the time. Yesterday, we had girl's night with my girl friends. We go out once a month. It's always a great night and usually there are some great stories to go along with them.... like the one time one of us got ARRESTED!!! Don't worry, it was just for assault with a deadly weapon! Or the other time when we got a hotel room and played all night! Mark (Bryn's Mark) doorbell ditched our room a few times. We started to get mad and thought the next time it happens we're going to get whoever it was! Next thing we knew there was a thump at the door, Brooke and I ran to the door only to be greeted my a man in a ware wolf mask! Brooke screamed bloody murder, and I started kicking him in the .......!!! After that first kick he ripped off the mask begging me to stop! We always have fun no matter what we do! Thanks Girls!!! This is the picture of us a few years ago in the hotel room!

Liza, Me, Jamie

Last night we celebrated Jamie's Birthday! Happy Birthday Jamie!

Marcie and Mandi

Happy Birthday Brookey!

Brooke's Birthday was last Friday! We went to her house and waited for her present to arrive! She got a brand new bedroom set! It is beautiful! Happy Birthday Brookey! Bryn and Mark were in town this weekend. (Those of you who don't know, they live in New Orleans! They were there during Hurricane Katrina. Yes, they lost most everything due to black mold!) Unfortunately, we didn't see any of Mark since he was working the Boat Show. Bryn however was able to play! We had to have a girls night out of course! We went to dinner then to the movies! We saw Definitely Maybe. It is so cute! Although, it made me wonder, what is the right age to tell the girls about the birds and the bees? That scares the crap out of me! (to put it mildly)
