    Well, it's been a fun month, I tell you! Carsen and Camden are growing like weeds. Cam is so much bigger than Carsen that they are almost in two different sizes. Carsen is crawling like crazy, and Cam can get where she needs to go, too. It's a blast! Yesterday the girls stayed with Mamaw Self and their Papaw (my dad) and we took a Aiden, Katie Banks, Tayler Appleton (our cousins who are 2 and 3 respectively), and Gracie Williams (our friend who is 2) to see THE WIGGLES! It was SO awesome! Me, Anthony, Tammy (Tayler's Mom), Tashy (my sis Ashley), My Mom, My Aunt Jennifer (Katie's Mom), My Aunt Janet, and my friend Amy (Gracie's Mom) all went to Starkville to see the Fab Four. From now on, when I say Fab Four, the Beatles are FAR from my mind. The Wiggles were fantastic. I enjoyed myself so much. Anthony and I both did, actually. Those Wiggles are a class act. You could tell that they totally enjoyed themselves and love what they do. They were so sweet and thougthful. It was just really neat to see. And Aiden LOVED it! It was so cute to see his reaction. I only wish we could have actually met them in person. He had the best time waking up Jeff and dancing to all the songs. We will for sure be taking the girls back when they are old enough. I can't WAIT!!
    In other news, we're all well now except Anthony, who is home on the couch in Gulfport as we speek. He finally cought the stomach bug that we all had two weeks ago. It's vicious, I tell you! Pray he gets better soon and throw in a 'please sell their house and give Anthony a job' while you're at it. Time is running out and April 15th is drawing near. We need a job for Anthony by then or else he becomes a stay-at-home daddy. Duh,duh,duh....
    More to come later.
    Love,
    Mandye

    Just wanted to let everyone know that I've started a blog about my journey training up my children in the way of the Lord. It's called A Page is Turned and it's linked at the bottom under LINKS. For those who don't do well with links, cut and paste this in your browser and add it to your favorites: TwinsandaTot.BlogSpot.Com

    Send it to all your mommy friends!! It's my little ministry to the mommies of the world. The Kids are GREAT! I sent this to Anthony this morning:

    "Last night Aiden was SUCH a pill!!! I had to put him in timeout because he wouldn't listen to me and help clean up the mess he made with the toys in the living room. I'd ask him to help and he'd say no and tell me to "Go AWAY!" I'd put him in timeout and it did no good. I told him that if he cleaned up he would be able to watch a movie but that if he didn't mind Momma he would have to go to bed early with no tv or movie. He still didn't mind so I sent him to bed. I turned out the lights and the tv and left the door open. I explained one more time that if he couldn't clean up his toys and act like a good boy (he also started knocking pictured off the table by the kitchen!) that he would have to go to bed and get some rest. I went in the living room to clean up and about one minute later Aiden came pouting back in and said 'I want to keen up now.' And he started picking up toys and putting stuff in it's place. I gave him a big hug and thanked him for being a good boy and helping me clean up. Then I let him watch Madagascar until he fell asleep (which took about 2 seconds!). He's such a big boy. Wow."

    I got a sweet response back. Our boy is getting SO big and SO smart. The girls are getting big, too. Camden is a chunk! Carsen is more petite like her mom used to be :-) Oh, well.

    I have lost 7 lbs on my diet. If I had time to exercise I'd be farther along. Maybe I will get to soon because the kids are much more self-sufficient and it's warmer out this week so maybe we can take some walks. We'll see.

    Love to all!
