Conversations Going on today

(They have always played well together)
Martin, Roxie and Zoey are outside playing in a bucket of water and I over hear the following conversation.
Martin: Roxie you are dead.
Roxie: No I do not want to be dead.
Martin: Stop moving you are dead.
Roxie: I'm not going to be dead. Olivia can be dead.
Martin: Ok Olivia is dead.
Roxie: Wait. Martin who is Olivia?
Martin: I don't know but she is dead.
Roxie: OK.

Zoey is basically saying in the back ground: HI. HI. Oh No
Martin and Roxie scream: NOOOOOOOOOO
well there went our magic water. I guess everyone is back to being alive
Roxie: All expect the cow.
Martin: Quick shoot every!!

Where did a cow come into play.
I love little kids imaginations. It is so much fun to hear them play and the sweet giggles!!
I love being a mom.

Migraines

Last week and starting today I have been suffering from migraines. I have tired everything to get rid of it but nothing seems to work expect caffeine or Tylenol with codeine. When I mean work it helps take the big pain away but I have dull ache and my eyes are really sensitive.
The girls have been really good for being stuck in a dark house and I have been to grateful for Doug because Wednesday he picked the kids up and took them out shoe shopping and dinner. Sunday he left me have some quite time until church.
Friday things were looking up and we tired to get Zoey and Roxie's photos taken but instead it ended up with some funny family photos. Saturday Roxie had a screaming fit and I developed another migraine and spent all day in a dark house and Sunday I just suffered in peace at church.
I keep praying everyday that I will wake up without pain or my eyes being sensitive to light. Everyone has advice which I am more than willing to accept but so far everyone suggest I seen a neurologist. After visiting with my family doctor they informed me once I am done having babies and nursing they will but me on prescription medicine to control the migraines but until then they really can't do anything for me. Oh well life goes on.

Something New Everyday

Recently Roxie has been doing everything in her power to get Zoey in trouble. Here is a conversation we had with the two girls:

Roxie: Dad Zoey put her fingers in my mouth!
Dad: Roxie take Zoeys fingers out of your mouth.
Roxie: Dad I am going to bite Zoeys fingers because she isn't taking them out of my mouth.
Dad: Roxie just move away from Zoey.
Roxie: I moved but her fingers are still in my mouth.
On Cue Zoey cries
Roxie: She wouldn't take her fingers out of my mouth. So I bit her so I could move.

I am pretty sure you can imagine who got in trouble.

Next Day
Roxie: Mom Zoey is touching me.
Me: Move away from Zoey
Roxie: Mom she is hitting me and if she doesn't stop I am going to hit Zoey.
Me: Roxie if you hit Zoey you are going to be in trouble. Just move away from Zoey.
on cue Zoey is screaming
Me: Roxie what did you do?
Roxie: She didn't move so I could move so I pushed her down.

Zoey walks up to me and says "Mama" and points saying "Roxie" and than processes to talk really fast in an upset tone. I have no idea what she said but she calmed down when I said "Does Zoey want a cookie?"
I put Zoey in time out and Roxie in time out and some how in the matter of seconds both girls were screaming because Zoey was touching Roxie from across the room and Zoey was crying because she fell off the train. By the way they couldn't see each other and Zoey's time out is a small ABC train.

Did I forget to mention this goes on all day long every single day. Its a good thing I have a great since of humor otherwise I might go even more crazy!

Who knew an Ice Box Could be so much fun

Zoey waiting for Roxie to pop out


Yesterday the kids found the Ice Box and decided it was the best toy in the whole world to play with and at one point everyone went to time out because they couldn't share the box.
I guess I could get rid of some toys and give the kids each there own ice box.

Goofy Zoey

Just some fun pictures of Zoey. She kept repeating "Cheese" when I would say cheese.
Zoey has a few more words to add to her list:
Mamma
Dadda
Martin
Roxie
Zooey
Go
Ear
Bye
Cheese
No
Nose Kind of sounds like nose
I love You
Again.
She doesn't talk all the time but when she does she doesn't stop.
She also knows Where her Head, ears, nose, mouth, hands, and feet are. She is really funny but still very clingy.

Staying busy which is good and bad

(Zoey Loves Back Berries)
Every since I was given the calling Relief Society Secretary I have been a little busy.
Than Grandma and pa Bremner are leaving in April so I have been cramming tons of appointments in because I have free babysitting. Then helping Lisa with her book blog (Which I love reading), not sleeping for some unknown reason and a crazy 1 year old starting to talk, a 3 year old who screams if I try and help her and last but not least 5 year old who wants all his friends over 24 hours a day.
I'm not complaining because I know I have it easier than a lot of moms out there BUT I just want 2 hours to clean my house and I mean REALLY clean it and maybe another 2 hours to do Laundry so I can stop sleep walking to the Laundry room and waking up wondering why I am there.

The Big Problem are the two cutest girls in the world who want to have my attention when they are awake and I give in all the time to their desires to be with mom.
So what I have learned: Staying busy is a good thing but I need to be better at prioritizing things and than maybe the house will be a little cleaner, laundry will be almost done and I might sleep though the night. I am so blessed to have healthy children, a beautiful home, a wonderful husband, spiritual guidance and amazing parents and in-laws. I have no reason to ever complain.

Back To School

Martin is back in school this week and is loving every second. We have started a car pool with a boy his age from the ward. Since school has started he is so tired but his two sisters missed him so much they want to play with him and he wants to be alone.
The girls and I are wearing out Grandma Bremner almost every day because Roxie "I Love my Fake Grandma so much." I have no idea what that means but she also says "I have the best grannie ever." It just depends on the day.
Today I had several appointments and Grandma Bremner watched the girls and Zoey has just started to warm up her. The only problem is Grannie is leaving a week from Saturday.
