SENSATIONAL SISTERS!

Here are just some of my favorite sister shots from this year! I love seeing my 3 girls and watching the great sister bond they have! Most of these pics were taken on our recent trip to Disney in January. A couple were taken in Atlanta at Cenntenial Park and the others were just taken at home!

Sleepy after a long day at Disney!

Ivey and Mylah love to play dress up!

Sit and Spin made for 2???

Night-time cuddles!

Bedtime-giggles!

HEY! THROW ME SOMETHING MR.!!!

About to enjoy some King Cake! Brennan's friend Lauren is helping us eat it up!

My favorite.....moon pies!

Ivey and Mylah caught huge stuffed animals!

We had a great time celebrating Mardi Gras this year! We watched some day parades and had a picnic in the park! The girls caught TONS of throws!!! My favorite catch ever is the moon pies! Yummy! The girls all caught big stuffed animals, beads, cups, coins, small toys, and lots of junk! LOL It was a beautiful, warm day here on the Gulf Coast with temps in the 70's! The kids enjoyed throwing balls in the park and watching the floats roll by!

As you can see, some of the pics I posted are in our home. This is what goes on in my house for days after they catch lots of beads! Everyone has to wear them according to the girls.....including the pets! I am so sick of picking up beads! They will begin to slowly disappear now....and only a basket full will get to stay! We just have way too many!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Mylah's Surgery

Okay so I am back-tracking a little! Mylah had surgery on Jan. 4th. She has never had any ear infections, but she got one at the end of October. The doctor tried 5 different antibiotics over the course of about 9 weeks and the ears would not get better. She went to see an EENT and had sinus x-rays done. The Dr. decided she needed her adnoids removed and tubes placed in her ears! Her Dr. was so nice and even gave her a small stuffed animal right before they took her back to surgery. He also had his nurse take a polaroid pic of us with him (who knew there were still Polaroids around?!). He gave us the photo as a keep-sake! Mylah did not like when they took her away from us to take her back to the OR. She fought the nurse and was screaming and reaching for us. She does not like strangers anyway....especially ones with surgical gear on! It was sad and I felt bad for her because she was so scared!

Danny and I were allowed to go back to the recovery room as soon as they woke her up and pulled her ET tube (breathing tube). She woke up basically the same way she went down....scared and mad! She did not open her eyes much for a while, but thrashed around like crazy while screaming! Danny and I had to hold her together because she was so strong! She was hitting us and the nurse, along with pulling my hair, kicking, and hitting! Basically fighting like it was life or death! She left scratch marks all over Dannys face and neck! She was trying to pull her oxygen cannula out of her nose, and trying to pull out her IV too. It was not fun! There were 2 other sets of parents and their children in the same small recovery room that we were in. Those 2 kids were crying and acting confused and scared a little, but not going completely bonkers like Mylah! Those other parents kept looking at us like "poor you!" , but they were also laughing at us a little too! I'm sure it was a sight to see!

She did well after the surgery and was back to her old self in about 4 days.

We left for Disney World 6 days after her surgery (on the 10th)! Thankfully she was all healed and ready for her first trip to see Mickey and friends! We had a blast and I took tons of pics! Not sure if I'll ever post any on the blog though because I cannot narrow it down to just a few! I'm afraid I would end up posting waaayyyy toooooo many!
