So I was going through the Resurrection Eggs with Bella tonight for the first time. When we got to the last one she opened it and said "The Easter Bunny forgot to put something in this one". Which then turned into a 30 minute conversation of why it was empty and who actually filled all the eggs...I thought she was finally grasping the symbolism when she said "I still don't know why they forgot that last one." It was so hard not to laugh...she was so serious.
Well it took Gabby a little while longer to hit the full on tantrum stage than Bella, but she is full into it now. She is actually funny about it, because she doesn't roll around on the floor she just curls up in a ball with her butt in the air and sits there, or goes to a corner, or turns her head, or glares at you and tries not to laugh. Oh she is a character. She makes all kinds of faces and her new word is yes, but she says it like "eeyessss". She is so opinionated and wants to do it all herself (so familiar). Here they are posing for the camera.
They both love to play games.
Picking out her purse for school
So I'm starting with the cute pictures. This morning the girls were playing and cracking up at each other. They had a tea party then took "naps" under the table.
New gymnastic pictures from Monday...
So Gabby's MRSA was going away when Sunday she woke up with red cheeks and speckles everywhere...so she stayed home with Daddy. Papa T thought it was an allergic reaction to the antibiotic...so I called the pediatricians office and was told since it wasn't raised or itchy it was probably viral...so I kept her off the antibiotic the rest of the day anyway...
Monday morning the spots were all gone, so I thought maybe it was viral and gave her the antibiotic...figured we see what happens...(I don't know what this face was at gymnastics but it cracks me up)
By the time gymnastics was over the cheeks were getting red again...so we made another appointment to the doctor. By the time we got to our appointment she was red all over. Dr Yoblonski was pretty sure it was a reaction to the Sulfa but the rash was looking like Fifths Disease (viral rash). Once we got home and gave her some benadryl she woke up with less of a rash (so hoping by tomorrow it's gone).
So...this all means that she can't have Sulfa drugs. The probably with that is Sulfa is one of two drugs that kill MRSA. Luckily it is gone but if it comes back we may be in trouble since we'll only have one drug left that will work and we will have to pray that she doesn't become allergic to that one.We have had quite a week. I can't believe it's March. We celebrated Joel's birthday with weekend and I just wanted to get some pictures up before another crazy week starts. Gabby has started spinning like her big sister. 
We've had quite a bit of rain lately (for us), so the girls played in the puddles last Monday.
They either love each other or are fighting...but they are definitely best friends.
We had tacos the other night and they were a huge hit.
Gabby has also been getting horsey rides from everyone...including Bella.
Yesterday we went to Nana & Papa's house to celebrate Daddy and Stephie's birthdays. We took along Great-Grandpa Everett's kite.
Bella walked around the rocks
and the spinning began again.

Bella also thinks she can carry Gabby around even though there is only a 1o pound difference. 
My poor baby girl. Actually Bella had a UTI this week and then a strange reaction on her hands. But Gabby ended up getting MRSA some how. Last weekend she had what I thought was a diaper rash and a cyst. I thought it was a little strange since she's been in panties but thought she might be having a reaction to Tide, so I changed to an organic soap and rewashed all her clothes. She got another little cyst on her leg and a few days later there was a large red circle around it. Papa said it was an infection of some kind so the next day we went to the pediatrician for her to look at both girls. That's when she said she was pretty sure it was MRSA. She cultured another spot on her hip and then drained her leg. I was so surprised when I saw the scalpel and then how much junk came out. She said if the circle got any bigger we needed to go the hospital to have it surgically drained. So we have no idea where she got this and the pediatrician said that it could have come from anywhere...and that it much more prevalent everywhere. So we've been keeping her leg wrapped and praying. She's on two antibiotics a topical and an oral. It has gotten smaller but the spot is still pretty red. It didn't help that she's allergic to band aids so it was making the spot more red. Today we started wrapping it with gauze and co-band and that has seemed to help...plus it's purple so she's all about that.
Yesterday we went to fan fest for the Diamondbacks. The girls were so cute in their jerseys and they loved the bouncy house.
Today Uncle Ryan came home with us from church so he could babysit and we could go out. This is what we came home to...
they even sang a tune for Ryan
I put Gabs in pigtails today...she was so cute but wasn't very excited about having her picture taken
Last Monday it was so nice we went for a walk and played with bubbles...here the girls are playing ring-around-the-rosey. 
Enjoying some mac n cheese
Last week we got to spend time with the Hodges to watch the Superbowl. We didn't actually get to watch very much until the end...but it was so much fun seeing the kids run around...poor Cash didn't feel well....
The girls sharing goldfish with Ryan
Gabby loved the ball pit
The kids were running around racing...I love Gabby's tongue
pj time
She's just so cute...
Gabby's bear on her booty and her boots cracked me up. She did great potty training too. She was dry all afternoon and the car ride home.
They had so much fun going down the hill together.
The first time down - actually I was surprised when Uncle Ryan let go of them at the top of the hill...they were both laughing so hard all the way down.
Bella loved the snowmen all over the place. She wanted to build one but didn't really want to help. As I started one (a small one) she kept stealing pieces off this one and bringing them to me for ours...
Mommy and Ryan had to get in on the action...but once I went down with the girls...and we crashed Gabby got the first feel of cold snow on her hands...after that she was done having fun...and still refused to wear gloves.
Bella on the other hand would have stayed all day.
Gabby's jacket barely fit from Thanksgiving...the only thing that was still too big was the hood.
So excited about the snow.
Heading back to the car.
