Planting Jelly Beans

Legend has it if you plant jelly beans on a full Easters moon then magic will happen!! So we tried it and to our astonishing surprise giant lollypops grew over night! We were so excited the Brinkerhoff girls were there the next morning to share the magic!!

Happy Easter

The girls looked so beautiful in their Easter dresses this year! So lucky to have 2 of the cutest kids ever!! The Easter Bunny was very good to us this year too

St. Patricks Day

Lem the leprechaun made his visit this year :) o what a mess he made!! He even tried to trap the girls in their room. He played alot of tricks like that this year. Some included turning the toilet water green and when we went to pour our milk on the Lucky Charms he left us the milk was green too!! We set out traps again this year but he was too clever. Maybe next year.???

Cuteness!!

Just some random pictures of the girls! Gosh I love them!!!

You Are my Sunshine

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy,
When skies are grey.
You'll never know dear,
How much I LOVE YOU.
Please don't take my sunshine away!!

O how I love thee, let me count the ways...

Surprised the girls by hanging 100 hearts in their room. With a note saying there was 100 different reasons why we loved them! Maliya has decided she is going to be Maddies roommate for a while. She said she was just too scared to sleep down stairs by herself. So they are sharing a room for now, it has worked out great so far. Makes it easier to only have to decorate 1 room for the holidays.

Sisters, friends for life.

There are times the two of them scream and fight. Times when I think they would argue over rocks just to argue! Then there are times when they are so sweet and kind to each other and that's when I see their sister bond growing:)
Maddie was really grumpy and I was crazy busy so Maliya without being asked put on movie and rocked her to sleep.
One of my favorite things is when Maliya reads to Maddie. Maliya has become such a good reader, she even does different voices for the characters. Maddie loves it!

Adventures with Twinkle

We had a new member join our family this holiday season! We woke up November 27 to find our kitchen decked out in holiday decor!! A present from Santa was on the table along with doughnuts, hot coco and some Christmas crafts! Inside the present was a book called "The Elf on the Shelf" it explained that we had an elf that we could name and that would report back to Santa every night. The next morning we would have to find his new hiding place. ( our Elf hid in high places, you can't touch him or he looses his Christmas magic) Maddie wanted to name him "twinkle, twinkle little star", so we shortened it to Twinkle. The girls had so much fun finding him each morning and whispering their Christmas wishes to him.

New year ...new password

Well my blog kicked me off for a while but I have worked out the kinks and I'm back on to blog about the crazy life in the Player house. My goal this time is to make this more of a journal with pictures. I am horrible at keeping a family history so hopefully this will help! That being said let the new year begin!!!
