Where did she get that??

So, I just have to share a couple of funny stories from Bella because they made me laugh so hard, and I just love what comes out of little toddler's mouths. The other night, I had a presentation to do online for my class, so I let Bella pick a movie and put it on for her in my bedroom to keep her out of my hair. She picked Sleeping Beauty. When I was done with my presentation, I went back to watch the rest of it with her. It was at the end, when Prince Phillip is trying to get to Sleeping Beauty to wake her up and the evil lady is putting all those obstacles in his way. Well, she zaps a bunch of thorn bushes around the castle so he can't get to it. Right as they started growing all over and Prince Phillip starts cutting through them, Bella says "Man, are you kidding me?". I thought I was going to die! Where did she get that from?
Then just today, I was in the kitchen trying to get Bella to come for dinner. I had told her to come sit at the table several times, but she just kept ignoring me. Finally, I stomped my foot and said "Bella, get over here right now". She finally figured out that I was serious, so she started walking toward the kitchen. As she was coming, she sort of laughed and said "you stinker". Can you guess what I call her when she's being difficult?? She's making it so hard to discipline lately, copying everything I say. It just makes me laugh, and that is not effective discipline! I sometimes count to 3 also, to make her do what I want. Lately, as soon as I say one, she says "two, three"! What am I supposed to do with that?? Luckily, she usually does what I want as she's saying two, three.

Anyway, we also got pictures of the two today. They were both kind of difficult, but we finally managed to get some decent ones.

Sorry, but it's true...

I have the stinkin' cutest kids in the world! You all can try to compete, but you can't! Lately, my amazing little family is all that keeps me going. I'm so grateful for my husband who puts up with me and loves me anyway. I am so grateful to Bella who has been our saving grace these last few months. She is absolutely hilarious like all the time. And her hair, oh that hair! Just looking at her when her hair isn't done makes us chuckle! And Evan gets cuter by the second. He's right on the verge of smiling and starting to talk, and I just love it when they start doing that. They actually start to resemble a real human being!! Anyway, I was just looking at these pictures and couldn't help but love my two little babies.
