Happy Birthday to Me!!

Well today is my birthday. I know some people hide the fact that it is their birthday but I dont. I love my day. We celebrated on sunday. We went to a little restaurant called Paolo's in kent. We had the family there. It was fun. My hubby got me a new cell phone. I was really excited. I am now in with the cool crowd. I used to have a dinasaur for a phone. You cant even buy it anymore. I love my new one. Its pink. So this morning my mom is taking me and the kids somewhere. Im not sure where but I think it has to do with clothes. So I will let you all know. Oh and Im supposed to say that the exciting thing in my life right now is working out with Jessica. hehe.

Well, not much is happening here. We were sick this weekend. Adam, I think is teething. Im getting over a cold. And Allison has a cold, fever and an ear infection. I wasnt sure what to do. This was her first one. So I took her to the doctor and got some drops. She cried right when the doctor came in because she was wearing one of those masks. But she got a sucker and then she was fine. That was our weekend. Im excited to pick up my parents on thursday night. They have been in Honduras for a month. They love it there. They are planning on moving there someday. Thats about it. We're pretty boring. I just didnt want anyone to say that I haven't posted in a while. When something exciting happens, I will let you all know.

Happy Birthday Allison

Well today is our little darling's birthday. The big 3. Im still in shock. She is such a little sweet heart. She is loving, caring and very funny. She loves to jump and climb. She loves her books and her animals, oh and you cant forget Dora and Boots. She loves to make you laugh. She loves to dance and sing. She loves to comfort you when your sad. She is very creative and I love that. She has brought so much joy to our lives and I thank God for her.

Happy Birthday Babe, Mommy and Daddy love you!!!

Cuties!!

What can I say, my kids are darn cute. I got the perfect shot of Adam as he was drooling wearing sisters hat. Allison already has her own sense of style. I also found one of Adam right as he was spitting up.

Getting in shape

Well, Im going to need some encouragement girls. As you read in my new years resolutions I want to eat healthier and lose my baby weight. So my husband gave me some motivation. He will give me $500 if I lose 22 lbs. I dont have to spend it on anyone else. Acutally he told me I couldnt. I dont really have a date set but Im still thinking about it. But I am determined to do it. So I have started to change my eating habits and I have an appointment with a personal trainer just to give me some basics. So If any of you have any tips or ideas I am open to suggestions. Thanks girls.

Pregnancy is in the air

Ok, I think I have counted 12 people that I know that are pregnant right now.

Jenni
Sabrina
Tammie
Cara G.
Carrie G.
Lynette
Galadriel
Michelle (my sister in law)
Anne
Robin
Emily E.
Nicole

That is alot of babies on the way. If I forgot anyone let me know.

So Embarassed

Ok, now if any of you saw the American Idol last night when they were in Seattle, then you should be as embarassed as I am. I think I might be ashamed to be from here. It was so bad. The people that represented us were horrible and some of them were scary. Anyway, I just thought that I would share my feelings about this issue. Thank you for listening.

Resolutions

Well I wasn't sure if I wanted to put my resolutions on here but I thought that maybe through out the year some of you could remind me of them and see how I am doing. I have never made resolutions but I thought that this year I would give it a try.
1. Seek a deeper relationship with the Lord
2. Lose my baby weight plus 5 lbs.
3. Eat Healthier
4. Learn new recipes
5. Learn to sew from someone
6. Learn to knit from someone (I did this already on Friday)
7. Be more creative (my home, crafts, organizing)

So thats it. I have already started to change our eating habits and work out. I have also started looking at my old cookbooks. So I guess its a start.

In Process

Well, today is officially the beginning of Allison potty training. For a long time she just wouldn't do it. If she did she was on the toilet forever. But yesterday she went a couple of times but I still put a diaper on her. Today I just started her off without a diaper. So far she has been doing good. She goes right when I put her on and she doesnt even want a treat. Its so funny, she will say, I dont hear anything but then she goes she'll say I here it. Anyway, I will let you know about her progress.

Merry Christmas

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. We hope you all have a safe and fun day.

Love, The Dofelmiers

Cradle Cap

I know that this is kind of off the wall but I wanted to let all you moms with kids with cradle cap know I figured out how to get rid of it. Maybe Im the last one to figure it out but I'll just tell you anyway. Both my kids had it bad. I put some vitamin e on it(you could use any cooking oil) but I let it sit for a few minutes then took a little comb and it all came out right away. I didnt even need to scrub his little head or get the comb too close to hurt him. Anyway, I was just excited. I wish I knew how to do this when Allison still had it. Maybe she wouldnt have been bald.

Ok, now who does he look like. We cant tell. 

Here is my sweet little man. 

Aren't they just so sweet? 

Finally, we are able to control her. She was our cute little ladybug at the fall festival.
