aubren's new ride!

we bought a scooter today and both trey and aubren are in love with it. they went together and bought helmets and i think aubren looks absolutely adorable wearing hers. every time trey would pull up to the house after a drive around the block she would ask to go around again, all the while screaming "wheeee" and "aahhh"!

swine flu

i was diagnosed with swine flu last thursday and have been in quarantine ever since. we are trying really hard not to expose the girls so i usually only come out to nurse milia. trey has been able to stay home and has been wonderful about taking care of all of us. he wakes up with the girls, puts them to bed, he makes all the meals (i get all my meals in bed), and he has kept the house clean. needless to say he is exhausted! thankfully, i feel much better and will be ready to resume my daily duties tomorrow when he goes back to work. however, i am contagious for 7 days so i still have to wear this silly mask!

3 years and 3 months

we love, love, love our sweet little girls! and here are a few reasons why...


aubren elise: aka aubs, aubie, big sister
she loves, and is obsessed with, her little sister
she loves reading, doing puzzles, and making us dinner from her kitchen set
she is theatrical and loves to sing and dance
she loves her comfy blanket and has to have it when she sleeps
her favorite stuffed/toy animals are hippo (blue hippopotamus), cotton candy (little pink poodle), sparkle chain (shiny pink pony), rexy (toy T-Rex)
she usually ends up in a "leotart" every day
she is enjoying her gymnastics and ballet classes
my favorite sayings: "han-ga-ber", "lellow", "upside over", "it's impossible", "you have to do what i say", "my eyes won't close", and "i can't fall asleep unless you are snuggling with me"


milia mae: aka little bit
she loves her big sister
she tolerates aubs and smiles even when aubs is playing a little too hard
she soothes herself to sleep by smacking her upper lip or sucking her fist
she loves her swing, bouncer, and playmat
she is ticklish and has started laughing (mostly for trey)
she is very mild tempered and only cries when she is hungry, tired, or needs a diaper change
she is content to be put in her bed awake for naps and bedtime
she is an incredible sleeper - started sleeping through the night at 6 weeks
she still seems so tiny and is too small to wears aub's baby clothes
she has dimples above her upper lip
her left ear has a little indention on the earlobe

my lovable lamb!

aubren went to her first day of preschool last week. she is a lovable lamb this year and is excited about not taking naps and instead having spanish class. she was so excited the night before when we packed her new tinkerbell backpack and laid out her choice of clothes. she was so sweet to milia before she left for school. she kept hugging her and telling her, "i'll see you after school milia." you could tell she was proud to be a big girl! i of course enjoyed the day and some quiet one on one with little milia!
