Mackenzie & Bentley dancing the night away!

Kenzie learning how to "potty on the big-girl potty"

Mother's Day...that is their Great, Great Grandma!

My Crazy Haired girl!

Just hanging out at the house!

The girls are both doing very good! Mackenzie is loving the word "NO" and has no problem telling me! Kaci is growing so fast and we go to her 2 month check up on Wednesday. Mackenzie always has a phone in her hand and constantly tries to let Kaci talk too. Mackenzie is still in gymnastics once a week and is such a little dare devil. She is starting to even like the bars! I will for sure post more pictures as they come!

What did I do Today?

I found this and LOVE it! Happy Mother's day to all you moms out there...

Today I left some dishes dirty,

The bed got made around 3:30.

The diapers soaked a little longer,

The odor grew a little stronger.

The crumbs I spilled the day before

Are staring at me from the floor.

The fingerprints there on the wall

Will likely be there still next fall.

The dirty streaks on those windowpanes

Will still be there next time it rains.

Shame on you, you sit and say,

Just what did you do today?

I held a baby 'till she slept

I held a toddler while she wept.

I played a game of hide and seek,

I squeezed a toy so it would squeak.

I pulled a wagon, sang a song,

Taught a child right from wrong.

What did I do this whole day through?

Not much that shows, I guess that's true.

Unless you think that what I've done,

Might be important to someone

With deep brown eyes and long brown hair,

If that is true...I've done my share

A quick thought...

So, why is it my daughters can't seem to take naps at the same time but they CAN manage to have seriously poopy diapers at the same time??? It would be so much easier the other way around!

Gymnastics, Sleeping, Biggest Loser, Station 15 and other new Sharp News...

Well, here are some Sharp Family updates in no particular order...

Kaci slept from 10:45pm until 5 am last night! That is a whole 6 hours & 15 minutes, and for us, that was WONDERFUL!!! It may have been in her swing (which we have resorted to putting in out room at night) but oh well, it was the best night sleep Ihave had in over 7 weeks!!!

Mackenzie started gymnastics a few weeks back, I think that today was actually her 4th class. She is in the Walkers-2yr old class and LOVES it! She walks on the balance beam, swings on the bars, crawls over the mats and her favorite is the trampoline...she is a WILD CHILD!!! No fear at all!

Ryan has been at Station 15 for about a month now. It is at 43rd Avenue and Camelback and he is getting plenty of action. He used to get a break when he went to work and get a full night sleep. Not anymore! He is up and down all night like me. He really likes having a spot for now and not having to move is bedding ad gear every shift!

We have The Biggest Loser Competition (Season 2) going on right now. Myself, and 10 other family and friends are in a 10 week competition to lose weight. There was a small buy-in fee and we weigh in every week and the person who loses the biggest percentage of weight in 10 weeks will win the prize money (and the weight). If you have seen the show, it is a lot like that but we don't vote anyone off every week...we are nicer than that! So far so good, so hopefully by June 20th all my baby weight and more will be gone!

Thank you, Wall, Please, Door, Step up, Kaci, No, More, Bologna, Apple, Nama, Bug, Dog, Papa, Uncle, Diaper, Poo-Poo, Pee-Pee, Ooh-WOW, Remote, Morning.....just a few of the new and not-so-new words that Mackenzie uses on a regular basis. She has become very talkative and REPETATIVE, so we must of course watch what we say! She also has a clear understanding of YES and NO and has no problem telling you what her opinion is on EVERYTHING!

We have started back to church in the last month or so and Mackenzie really likes it. SHe loves to go to Sunday School and play with the kids. So far, Kaci has slept through the service everytime so both Ryan and I were able to enjoy it. We are attending CCV and will start the Membership classes the next time they are offered!

Upcoming Events:
Kaci's 2 month check-up
Mackenzie's Swim Lessons
Jen & Ryan go to Jimmy Buffett

Thanks for Reading!
Love,
The Sharps

New Photos of Kaci

Here are a few new photo's...sleeping beauty! Kaci is doing well, she was 9lb. 4 oz at her 1 month check and everything is great!

Why you NEVER leave a toddler alone to eat....

I swear she was only unsupervised for a few minutes when I was feeding Kaci and I was only 20 feet away. Mackenzie had pizza and chocolate pudding for dinner, she ate the pizza and WORE the pudding! She had a bath about 30 minutes before dinner and then this happened. Needless to say, we had a second bath for the night! What a mess, mommy learned her lesson....

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter yesterday! Daddy had to work unfortunatly so we went over to Nama & Papa's house for Lunch and an Easter egg hunt. Mackenzie LOVED finding the eggs. She conned Uncle Chris into hiding them over and over and over again...he was such a good sport! After the egg hunt, lunch and a nap (I even got to take one!) we went over to Grandpa Rick's house for dinner. Mackenzie & Kaci got more Easter presents and Kenz got to hunt for more eggs that Grandpa had hid for her. I thought Mackenzie would be tired of Easter by the end of the day but even as I was putting her to bed she was still asking "Where's eggs?" and saying "Happy Eee-Tah". Kaci of course slept through the majority of the day but looked just as cute in her Easter dress!

And here are some pictures from Egg Dying the night before...
