The Lord Family: February 2012

I know I have not been great lately at blogging...I blame pinterest for this problem :) Seriously though when it's quiet time at our house I either take a nap along with the girls, or lately I log into pinterest and get nothing else done! Bah! Anyway these last few months have been good. We really have not been up to anything out of the ordinary. Becca has school, and dance. And if it weren't for those two things we pretty much would not ever leave the house! If I am feeling really adventurous we will go to Target or something :) I got the girls signed up for swim lessons FINALLY! I am a bad mom, and so behind with these kinda things. But they are thrilled and just excited to finally learn so oh well :) Rachel and I both had a birthday (I will do a separate post on that). Livy is almost walking......I know 15 months is slow, but that's how long it took for all my girls. Becca is reading way beyond her kindergarten level...It's amazing, she can read anything and everything! And has been for a while now. Nathan is a busy busy man. I am a single mom most of the week, but that's ok, we have a job and are thrilled when we do get to be with him! Life is good overall, and we are thankful for it!

A few funny quotes from the girls, a general update on them and pictures to follow....

Becca- As you know is such a girl and only likes to wear dresses or skirts to school...or anywhere really!
Conversation most mornings...

Me: Beck come get ready, and put on the clothes I have out for you!
Becca: Gross mom! Pants! Ah! I don't like pants!! Can I please wear a skirt!?
Me: Tuff Beck! (I know nice mom right)

Becca- While driving to park city one day she was looking out the window and said this.

Becca: Mom I really like going to chucrh, I miss primary today...Did you like going to church when you were a little girl? Do you miss primary?
Me: (feeling guilty because I hated going to church when I was little) Yes Beck I loved church, and still do.

Rachel- She love love LOVES her Jessie doll she got for Christmas this year, and loves cars, and Thomas the Train! This year for her birthday she got a Buzz Light year! She is like the boy we never had ;) She likes girly things too though, I think mostly because her sister does. She requested sparkly pink TOMS for her birthday, that she got and loves! Go figure I guess.

One morning I was getting ready, and Rachel came into sit by me and was holding a picture of Jesus, and put it up by her face and said....

Rach: Mom do do do you fink I wook wike Jesus? Cuz cuz I think I do. I have brown wong hair, and eyes (totally looking at her self in the mirror and studying the picture all while saying this)
Me: (Trying not to laugh) Yes I think you do look like Jesus Rach!
Rach: (Giving herself one more look over in the mirror smiled, and left the room satisfied)

Livia- Loves me :) And I love it! No one else will do when I'm in the room haha! However she refuses to say my name, and will say "da da da" all day long! She is a real handful these days, but such a stinking cutie butt! AH! We love her! She loves Lucius (our cat) so much! She gives him kisses, and us on occasion when we ask for it. She loves her sisters, and da da! She calls food "dobby"? She still has to have a bottle full of milk 5 times a day, or will throw at fit! She loves spaghetti, and loves her blanket! It is so cute! When she is ready for bed, and catches sight of her blanket, she will go crawling for it as fast as possible and throw herself at it face down with a huge sigh and kick her legs out of pure joy!
