Life as a Cleveland: 2014

I can't believe its November already.

I always feel like as soon as Halloween is over November and December just fly by with holiday plans. Don't get me wrong I love the holiday time, it just always go by way to quickly and I never feel like we get enough time with anyone. I'm going to do my best to slow down this year and just enjoy the moment.

Updates: Pyper is talking so much lately she has added so many new words to her vocabulary. Qwak, qwak (quack, quack), andy (candy), op (up), ork (work), own (phone), go (go), and when asked will try to repeat almost everything we ask her to. She also has gotten two more teeth. Bring her to a grand total of 14 choppers.

Updates: Bo is growing up way to fast. There are so many things that surprise me ev eryday with how smart she is, I can't wait until next year when we can send her to Preschool to challenge that little brain of hers.

Josh and I have been so busy lately with work, our sewer line, and me FINAL writing my dang Masters paper on Executive Function and its relationship to Autism, and also preparing for a inter-agency conference that I am a part of with M.L.C. and (University of) St. Thomas. However, that hasn't stopped us from spending quality time as a family.

Where or where did the time go?

Just when I think I will have time to write a post, life gets in the way. However, our girls are growing up way to fast and I don't want to forget a moment of it when I am old and grey. I want to be able to look back at this blog and remember those little thinks that I know I will have forgotten. I'm going to write at least once a week with at least one trinket of the greatness that is our family, and I expect all of you to harass me when I don't.
So here goes!

Josh:
Has started working overtime to keep up with demands for their products. His company has finally paid of their loan, so they are now finally working for profit, and hopefully that means big things for Josh and the company.

Bo:
Has really become a mamas girl, and I am loving every minute of it. It has been really hard for me to spend all day with the kids, and then be gone from them for the majority of the time they are awake, and I think this has been a big part of why she is so much cuddlier then she use to be. Bo is also so in love with My Little Pony, it is currently her favorite show, and it out weights any other show that is on. Sorry Dora you are no longer in the front running any more. Her favorite pony is Princess Twilight because she is purple. In one of the newer episodes she gets wings, and each time she sees her with wings, she is surprised. Often yelling to us, Mom Dad Twilight still has her wings. It melts my heart.

Pyper:
Wow has she changed lately. She loves when we come home, and she lets us know she will not be out shined by her sister. She is our best eater, but she would much rather share her dinner with Pistol and beg for what is on your plate instead. I can't believe how big she is either. She is the same height now at 15 m. that Bo was at 18 m. She is also in the 85th percent in height. She is so aware of her surroundings too, and has really started talking. Her favorite words are: Mama, Dada, BoBo, Pistal, Wiggly, baby, cooke, bye bye, nigh night, granma, kitty, milk. She amazes us everyday with new vocabulary, and is constantly trying to steal our attention from anyone else in the room.

Me:
Work has been busy, and I am often so mentally tired, that when I get home, I just want to snuggle with my girls.

I love our Family

We decided to move the girls upstairs together and make their old room in to the playroom.

Loving that she is in the same room as her sister again

We moved the desk at to the top of the stairs

Check Out the new playroom

We also added the frames to the living room too.

We also finally got to painting the stairs white and they look 100 times better.

Now for the runners and print on the stairs, and we will finally have our stair way complete.
