Matt showed me this last night and I thought it was hilarious! I think the song is from the movie Sons of Provo. Way to send a great message about keeping yourself moraly clean before marriage. Amber, this totally reminds me of when we used to make up dances to the EFY songs! Some of you may have seen this already, but I hope you still enjoy!

Happy Birthday B Bell!!!!
Isabelle turned 1 today!!! All I can say is....TIME FLIES!!! And I know you all know that when you have little ones.
We didn't have any big kind of celebration. Just our little family of 4. Bells was a little cranky all day probably teething....but LOVED the cake and gifts!!
The BEST cake I have EVER made!!!
Having a rough day with all the attention on Bells. She was crying for Daddy.
Oh yeah! Cake makes everything better right!
Happy Happy Birthday B Bells!!! We love having your adorable little self in our lives!! Love Mommy, Daddy and Lizzy!!

From DC! What a relief! He still has to work 8 hours a day, but seeing him come home in the evenings and play with the girls is wonderful. Matt had a BLAST on his trip!
Sure looks like it huh!
That kiss was for me!!!
I think its his favorite pose!!
Matt is dead set on wanting to be an Airborne Ranger!!
Some of Matt's friends playing and the battlefields.
He got to spend Saturday and Sunday night with my family in Maryland. I was super jealous! I haven't seen them in a year and they have a new house! The girls and I just couldn't afford to make that trip, and I can't imagine what that trip would be like with just the girls and I on a plane!!! Overall he said it was a great trip! He took a ton of pics but couldn't really remember what they were about. The girls and I are happy you're home now!

Single Parent This Week
Matt left Tuesday morning for DC. He signed up for a class at the beginning of the spring semester where you get credit for doing an assignment and going on this trip. Way cool huh...wish I could have gone. He won't be back until Monday night, so lets see, I'm only on day 3 and I already have to blog about my problems...
First issue.....NURSERY!!! When is it ever safe for your kids to be in there? Every week we take Lizzy to nursery and she loves it, goes right in. BUT, Tuesday comes along and I see runny noses, fevers and coughing, all that yucky stuff. It's not even winter season anymore! Come on parents, leave you kids at home if they have any sign of a runny nose. Lizzy and Isabelle have been miserable the last 2 1/2 days droopy eyes, constant runny noses and Isabelle had a fever of 101 for half the day. Nothing would bring it down. I don't know how people can handle there sick kids. It's 10 x worst when they are. They're cranky, following you around and crying at everything. So, I think we are going to pass on the nursery part this Sunday.
I have awesome neighbors!!! Definitely a huge difference compared to Texas neighbors. No one said hi at our old apartments, maybe we had cooties. We love it here, everyone has kids and going to school. I have had tons of help already to get through parts of the day. And I'm sure it wouldn't be half as bad if the girls were actually feeling well. I can't put Bell's down for a second without her crying.
When do I take a shower? Probably right now right! I actually did today already, I set the girls in front of the t.v and took the fastest shower of my life. I can take it when they are napping but I feel like I either have to nap too or finishing cleaning something while they aren't messing it up again. The girls are usually up by 6:30 in the morning, no way I'm waking up an hour earlier to take a shower.
So that's all...I always have pics on when I post. It doesn't feel like a good enough post without pics. Thanks for enduring my venting. You get to be in Matts position this week, just listen and nod and maybe some of you can relate in small ways.
I think tomorrow will be a much better day, back to normal with the girls getting better. We can't wait to have you home Matt, just having another human adult here keeps me sane.

New Moon
I was browsing around today and found out that.....
Dakota Fanning
will be playing the role as Jane in New Moon! Perfect fit I think! Alec, the twin brother of Jane in the book, will be played by Cameron Bright....
I haven't seen him before but I guess he played in X-Men: The last stand.
Michael Sheen will play as Aro, one of the Volturi dudes. He looks a little creepy to me but that would fit the role wouldn't it!
Awww, this will be Emily (Tinsel Korey), Sams fiancee! How perfectly cute! Well I guess she'll look a bit different when they have to make-up the scars on her face.
Some of the other Quileute guys: Alex Meraz (left), Chaske Spencer (center), Kiowa Gordon (right). Not bad!After seeing all these on EW, (there are more I didn't post about)I'm starting to get super exciting for the movie to come out in November! Call me a Twilight nerd! What do you think?

Busy Weekend
Well, sorry I haven't posted in a while. That just means there's nothing exciting going on or my brain is just dead. This weekend however was a little more eventful. Matt had the opportunity to be a groomsmen in a wedding for one of his fellow ROTC cadets. His friend graduated, was commissioned into the Army and got married all in the same weekend. Instead of renting a tux, Matt insisted on purchasing his Dress blue uniform, not really needed until he graduates. He looked totally handsome in it though!!
Lizzy was adoring Daddy! Once he commissions into the Army he gets to add some ribbons on the sleeves and shoulders. It looks a little bare now but still good looking.
Matt and his friend.
It was a long day! We got to the church at noon and stayed until six. Lizzy was running wild. Overall it was a fun day.
We tried pawning our kids off to them! They've babysat for us a few time before so the girls are some what comfortable to them. Congrats to the new married couple!
