Last night...

Camille is the sweetest little angel girl! Last night I was laying in bed with her and she said: Somebody is missing!
I asked her: Who?
And she replied: Daddy and sister!
She'll say that in the car when we're driving to school. And one time we were sitting down to eat dinner and she said: Somebody is missing! (We have two empty chairs once we're all seated.)
I asked her: Who's missing?
And she said: Grandpy and Gigi!

Also last night Millie had gym and Bea had her follow up ortho appointment - she's good to go! No more broken arm! Izak was tied up with a customer so I had both girls with me at the doctor's office. Gigi helped a LOT by meeting me there with Bea. And then taking Millie for a walk around the clinic while Bea and I waited for her name to be called. Then it was off to the gym! Bea was so excited. She hadn't been there since she was 2 1/2 and she really wanted to watch her sister. But then Izak was done with his customer and met us at the gym to get Bea. She wanted to stay so bad. I was worried she'd distract Camille. And then I had a brilliant idea! They were offering mini gym for Bea's age range at the same time as Millie's class. So I asked the front desk if she could try it out. Bea was thrilled when she found out she could but wasn't too happy about wearing her sisters clothes (which were really her clothes) to exercise in. I had already decided that I wanted to enroll Bea in gym again in the fall (she's going to be too busy with swim in July.) The gym happened to have a leotard on sale that fit Bea, it's a little big but it works. So I bought that for her before the class started and we quickly got her changed into it and she was ready to go. She's got some catching up to do, especially with her left arm being a bit weak from having it wrapped up for three weeks. But she had fun and passed out as soon as her head hit the pillow last night.

Vacation with the Texas cousins!

The past week we went on vacation with our Texas cousins! We hadn't seen them since Madison was born and it was so fun to get the kids together at last! I think everyone had a good time. We hit the beach in San Diego - where I nearly drowned Madison. :( Then we went to Disney Land and met a bunch of characters and rode a bunch of rides. It was so fun just seeing Madison and Bea together... older. Instead of tiny little babies! And it was fun to meet Preston and Mallory!! (And, of course it was fun to see Linds and Greg again.) I can't wait to plan our next vacation with them.

Friday we met up with the cousins. Saturday we headed to Coronado to hit the beach. Sunday we got to Disney Land in the afternoon and rode some rides, saw the Soundsational Parade and the fire works! Tinker Bell did not disappoint and Dumbo made an appearance too!

Here are some pictures of the trip!

Walking back from lunch and blowing bubbles!

Cousin picture! 

Beach Babies!

As soon as we walked into Disney Land we saw Micky and Minnie!

Waiting for the parade to start.

Watching to see whats coming up in the parade...

Besties!

We got to meet Donald Duck before lunch at Ariel's Grotto.

Preston wanted her autograph, but didn't want to take a picture with her!

I LOVE Madison's face in this picture!

Millie singing into the brass ball while the others watched the Phineas and Ferb Parade.

FLICK!

I LOVE Millie's face in this picture!!

 We spent ALL day at California Adventure on Monday without napping! And we ended up having to walk back to our hotel - the bus lines to the parking lot were out of control! Bea was up and walked the whole way. Millie feel asleep in Izak's arms. Preston was asleep in Greg's arms. Madison was sleeping in the stroller that Lindsay was pushing and Mallory was sleeping too. Needless to say Tuesday at Disney Land wasn't a very happy one.

We got some rides in and then we let the Molepske crew have some family time... meaning the Du Toit's went back to the hotel and RESTED! We ordered room service, watched an over priced movie and then for dinner ordered from Morton's. It was a fun vacation. I just wish we could have had more beach time!

 Perhaps our next cousin vacation will take us to Texas or New Orleans to meet the newest cousin: Oliver!!

This morning...

Millie wakes up saying: 'Somebody!? I need to go pee!'

It was the cutest thing! And when she thought no one was coming she said it again! I love that little bug SO much!

Potty Training!

The last two weekends I've been working on potty training Millie... and it's really been like 2 days the weekend before (if that) and then 2 days this last weekend (with Gigi's help on Friday night and Saturday morning.) Millie is doing so well!! She's finally saying: I have to pee! Instead of: I got pee (meaning - she's already gone.) She would walk around the house and say: I got pee change me! And I would say: No that's not how it works! If you're going to expect to be changed after every single pee you need to start peeing in the potty.  (Of course she understood me perfectly.) She's even pooped in the potty a couple of times. Though it's been against her will. She'll start on the potty but then start crying because it hurts and she'll want me to put a diaper on her, but I make her stay on and she goes! Saturday we went and bought her a new doll. She picked out the doll that came with her own toilet that had poop and pee in it! And we bought her some underwear! She was so happy and excited. Monday and Tuesday she went to daycare and didn't have any accidents! She even did well at her gym class!  And speaking of gym, she just continues to amaze me how quickly she picks it all up. She can nearly propel her self under and over the bar using her legs. And she gets so excited knowing that she's going to the gym. When I pick her up from daycare and ask her: where are we going today? She says: the gym? And when I say yes she just starts to laugh out loud. It's so cute. I promised her that if she went pee in the potty that she can take dance class like sister so she's been excited about that... I've also been thinking about enrolling Bea in gymnastics again (she's been dying to go and 'watch' sister.) it would be especially nice to have them in classes on the same day maybe overlapping time if not the same time... we'll see... Wish I had an unlimited amount of money to enroll the girls in all these classes that they love so much.

David's Golden Birthday/Graduation party!

I don't know why but I decided to go for a country theme. (I feel themes make it more fun.) Anyways, here are some pictures from the party. I thought I had gotten a picture of David in the lil cowboy hat I bought him, but my camera must have been dumb... because clearly I don't have one... sigh.

My make shift floral arrangement.

Mini apple pie favors!

Izak pouring shots...

The birthday boy wearing the birthday crown that Bea made him.

Before the tragedy!

Warms my heart...

This morning Millie said: I don't want to go to "M's," I don't love her...

Aww! Doesn't that just warm your heart!? Of course I want her to like it at daycare, but I certainly don't want her to love it! It's definitely time to move on!

Conversations with Millie

Millie says the cutest and funniest things. Of course it helps (sometimes) that she has that tiny high pitched voice.  This morning I was trying to wake her up. She stirred a bit then said in her little whisper: "Wake sister up fwurst." Then she proceeded to roll over and then stare at me through the cracked lid of her right eye. Silly girl!
