They grow so fast

I dont love the fact that I am in this picture and I dont know how much my sister will like seeing herself but Paisley is sticking out her tongue! Kinda hard to see but keep reading down a few posts and you will see why I posted this pic of her tongue sticking out like a lizard.

I have forgotten how small Saylor was when Paisley was born. I was searching through pictures and found these and she is so little. Why do they have to grow so fast. The time flies. I wish I was able to be at home with them more when they were little but I know I will be much more thankful to stay home when I get the chance to. I dont think I was ready to give up my career then but the lord prepares a way and knows us and knows what we can handle. All the trials in life that we endure make us stronger and prepare us for the future even though we may not know what is in the future and why we have to go through tough times. I love my daughters and thank my heavenly father for sending them here to me on this earth. They are very hard to manage with being so close in age but it is a constant reminder to be patient and to teach them. What would I do without them? My life would be so dull.

A 2 yr old that does what?

Paisley was born totally sticking out her tongue and it was soooooo long like a lizard, it was hilarious and now she has developed a talent!! ha ha

How will you get there?

We were in the car, I am driving, my kids in the backseat and my mom in the passenger seat. We just got done at costco, we are driving home and Saylor asked if she could go to Grandma's house. I explained to her that she couldnt go right now when i dropped Grandma off because she had to go to a church meeting and that maybe she could go later. Her response was...... if you dont take me to Nae Nae's I will just go by myself! and she had a very big attitude to go with it. I said back to her, Well how do you suppose you will get there? Do you think you will walk? And she said... noooooo I will just ride my bike! Maybe you had to be there for it to be funny but i was cracking up like crazy because I found it so funny that a barely 4 yr old recognized her bike as a mode of transportation and she didnt hesitate to just get on it and ride to grandmas. She probably knows the exact way to get there too. She is very smart and recognizes where to go and she tells me when to turn while we are going places.

Cindy Loo......

WHO????????

This has been the hair style of choice around our house lately!

All I want for Christmas......

These girls are sooo cute and do the cutest things. I love them and I am thankful for the things they teach me and for the way they make me laugh. I was getting out the christmas decorations and told them we were going to hang the stockings. I laid them on the floor and walked away to get some scissors. I came back in the room to find their meaning of stocking!!

POLOYGRAPH

So I am sure everyone is wishing i was posting things with pictures but hey, shouldnt you just be thankful i am posting at all?:) Well Colin had a background interview yesterday which has led him to a polygraph appointment today at 12:30. Then he will go through a written psychological test next week and an oral after that. Once he passes all of that its on to the medical examination and then on to the academy. The background stuff is going to take a while though. They send out a questionaire to all his references on his application and they contact all previous employers and question them about Colin. He has nothing to hide in any of the background portion so im not worried. He is doing so well and the police department is moving really fast with all of this. The other thing i forgot to mention is that Colin signed a paper yesterday basically signing away our privacy. They can now drop by our house at any time and ask to come in and check things out. Now i feel like im selling my house and have to keep it perfectly clean every minute of the day. Especially because they will come without notice. How nerve wracking. Well so long til next time. I promise i will be posting some pics of the kids soon. I dont have an sd card reader since mine broke and i dont always remember to borrow my moms. so maybe you will get some halloween pics or something really outdated. lol

Don't forget to check the mail.......

I have completely spaced to check the mail all week long. The results for the oral test come by letter and i figured that his paper says 2 to 3 weeks so why do i need to rush to the mailbox everyday and amp up the anxiety. So i just kept myself super busy this week so the time could pass. Well today I went to the mailbox to find alot of ads and junk mail but hidden inside there was the letter with a return address of the police department. My heart dropped and i got so nervous. My mailbox is really close to my house but it felt like the longest drive back home. I couldnt wait to get in the house and have colin open it even though i was sooooo scared. I didn't want it to ruin our perfect sunday and have a cranky husband all through church. i also didn't want to be the sad wife. I kept playing it through my head of what i would say if he didn't pass and i couldn't really think of much, probably because HE PASSED!!!!!.I am so proud of him!! He really wants this and now he is waiting for a phone call to schedule the background portion. This is the part that is going to take forever. Luckily though it should be faster than normal. they are speeding through this process like no other because they need cops so bad. so hopefully not too long. It would be great to hear something by christmas as that would make the best gift ever for me to know i can just be a mom, but that is really high hopes so we hope to know something as soon as possible. They told Colin if he passed everything he will start the academy is February. That will mark 2 years from my shoulder injury. Which was a huge blessing in disguise because that is when colin realized how important it is for me to beable to stay home. He has been really trying to make enough money for me to do that. So I just wanted to also say I have alot to be thankful for at this thanksgiving week!
