a couple little bella-isms to remember

Bella is painting at her little table and says:

"Mom, I'm done art'n"
Me: "Your done art'n?"
Bell: "Yeah, I'm done art'n. We can put away my paints and markers now."


Mom: "Whatcha doin Bizzle Biz?"
Bell: "I'm NOT a Bizzle Biz."
Mom: "What are you then?"
Bell: "I'm a MEAN QUEEN!"



Bella takes little catch phrases and slang and sometimes changes a letter or two to make it all her own. This is one of them:

"Whoops-a-gay-sie"

It's probably my favorite. I love it when she says it!

Ahhhhhh!

I can officially sigh a big huge sigh of relief! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I will tell you why. I started a "Little" project last Wednesday and am now just finishing.

We did a very stupid thing when we built our home. We put in travertine tile floors in the kitchen, dining room, mudroom, laundry room, and master bathroom. WHY? Because it was "popular" at the time.

Do I recommend this flooring material for your own home? No I do not, unless you want a ton of work to keep it looking nice.

Since we built our home 2 1/2 years ago, we have had to steam clean every little crevice on it to seal it three times. Because travertine is a natural stone, it sucks up every little particle of dirt.

Hopefully we have sealed it for the last time. We found a product that will seal it for 30 years. It is the same sealer they use in the LDS Temples (so it must be good, right?) It also gives it a "wet" look so it's all shiny and pretty.

I am just relieved we have finally finished! I have spent at least 4 all days scrubbing, grouting, cleaning, painting (don't ask) and sealing.

But, AHHHHHHHHH. I'm done. So worth it.

I will post some pics in a couple days when we can walk on it. Yeah, our table has been in our living room for almost a week now!

A quickie update

Bells is continually cracking us up on a daily basis with the hilarious things that come out of her little mouth.

"Corn on the Hog" = Corn on the cob

"Horn dogs" = Corn dogs

"Rainbow ice cream" = snow cone

"a tongue of fings" = a ton of things

"I do clips" = I do clicks

"Coss it to me" = toss it to me

Last fourth of July, she kept calling the earplugs we got her "Plug-ears"


I still need to post about her birthday. Am currently experiencing more laptop problems and have to send it in to HP. So it will be sometime next week. Grrr...


Haven't written much about Tinies lately. They are both standing pretty well. Kai can stand longer then Pais. They both love standing up in their high chairs and we've had a couple close calls. So we finally fixed the straps on our hand-me-down highchairs and I am happy to say that they HATE them.

I can't believe they are going to be one in a few weeks. It feels like just yesterday *tear* *sigh*

Whoever thinks it's cute to help them walk, is going to get their butts kicked. Let's just let nature take it's course. Hopefully they don't start walking for a while. (When they start walking I am screwed!)

Kai does the cutest jibberish "Doy doy doy". Paislee screams at the top of her lungs and lately fake cries.

Kai shakes her head "no". Paislee points her finger "no".

Kai will rest her head on your lap if she is feeling lovey and tired. Paislee will touch her forehead to yours.

Kai dances. Paislee claps and watches.

Kai seems to be the "climbing the stairs leader". Paislee follows and has fallen down our stairs twice now.

Kai sticks out her long skinny tongue. Paislee does clicking noises.

Now I need to start planning their 12 month pictures. Does anyone want to lend me their nice camera?
