A new meaning to "Grocery Shopping"

Before I got married I remember how much fun I thought grocery shopping would be. I could picture Corey and I going to the grocery store planning out all of our meals and then going home putting them up and cooking dinner! It was such a happy picture, and then we got married and the first couple of months were fun! We would make our list before we left and would usually go every Saturday. We went up and down the isles making sure we got everything we needed, then just as I had pictured it we went back to our small one bedroom apartment put them all away and then usually had a special dinner. What a fun memory- of course after the first few months it wasn't as much fun, and then we had children. I love my children dearly and it was not too bad grocery shopping with just Kirbee when she was little and didn't know any different than to just sit back and enjoy the ride. However as she got older it kept getting harder because she is a child who wants to be busy ALL THE TIME. But when she finally realized that our local grocery store had a car that she could, drive she was pretty excited! Every time we would pass the grocery store she would want to go and "drive mommy, drive". That lasted maybe a month, and then she discovered she could get out of the car when it stopped. That put a new meaning to going to the store instead of it taking 20 minutes, it now took mommy 40 minutes plus I better have my running shoes on! The next thing you know we have another beautiful baby girl Saydee. She is now at the age where she does not know any different than to sit back and enjoy the ride. She is getting close to just getting to sit in the basket but we are not there yet. Going to the grocery store by yourself with one child is a challenge but taking two is even a bigger challenge. We had to tackle the store this afternoon and man was it fun. The problem with the "car baskets" is that the basket where the groceries go is smaller than a regular basket and then the top basket where I could put Saydee's car seat leans back to far. So by the time you have the car seat in the basket there is NO room for groceries. Today Saydee was surrounded by groceries-not that she minded- but I was just thankful none of them fell on her head or Kirbee didn't throw any on top of her. Kirbee did not have a whole lot of fun today- she didn't want to drive, she wanted to walk without her shoes. So needless to say by the time we left the store mommy was carrying Kirbee in one hand and pushing the huge car basket with the other- and most of you have probably experienced that those do not turn so well. But we made it out and safely home and that is all that matters- right?

The Girls

Kirbee- A very busy two year old! Kirbee loves to dance and sing. She is just now starting to pretend play and it is so much fun. She has adjusted well to being a big sister which is a good thing. As long as she has plenty of people to watch her, Miss Little Saydee is ok to have around. Kirbee never as a problem getting any ones attention especially all of her aunts and her uncles!

Saydee- She is a very layed back, go with the flow girl. She is 7 1/2 months and is starting to get around everywhere. Saydee, or as most call her "Sissy", loves her big sister. She just watches her run around and can't wait until the day she can follow Kirbee everywhere (won't Kirbee love that)! Saydee loves to play with her toys but most of all she loves the phone and remote control (why is it that it never seems to work?)

New Blog

Hello everyone!
I am starting this blog and I will try my best to keep up with it. We are a very busy family but I wanted friends and family to be able to have a place to come and keep up with what is going on in our lives. We have two beautiful girls and I will post pictures soon! I am trying to figure all of this out so it may take a while before I like how it all looks. My friend Linsey is great at this and we are actually on a trip together right now so she is going to be helping me out! My goal is to post at least a few times a week- it depends on how our day goes. I will try and post daily as soon as summer comes and we are on a better schedule. Have a great day!
