Mmmmm cake

I don't care if it is her birthday! I want her cake too!!!!


Just kidding -- happy birthday Rebecca

It's Christmas

Happy Holidays dear readers! That's right it's Christmas time and here we have my annual Christmas Photo of me eating cake??!?!?! OK, so we couldn't use the Santa one because I wouldn't sit still. And we couldn't use the tree one because I wouldn't sit still. And then there was the one of me in the children's choir -- I SAT STILL FOR THAT! But, sigh, there was bad lighting. So, anyway enjoy your cake this holiday season and a big Feliz Navidad from here in Texas.

It was 30 years ago today...

And now the famous cowgirl will ride the range once again. C'mon Grandma put the quarters in. C'mon horsey giddy up. Don't seem to be working. Oh well suppose I can do it all myself. OK now time to go home to Mommy and her new babies :( I tell you she just doesn't get me any more. She doesn't understand what it's like to be 2 1/2 and riding the range with the wind in her hair and her pal beneath her. She doesn't know. What's that Grandma? You have a picture to show me... of who?

I was so much older then...

Well as you may be aware, I have become an older sister. In order to fill this role, I felt some changes were called in order. Thus, I asked Daddy for a new hairdo. I think it makes me look much older -- 3 or perhaps 3 1/2. And I started putting my blocks in this purse, because an older girl needs her bag -- wouldn't you agree -- Dahhhling?

Now for the picture everone has been waiting for

Well here is whole family. That's Daddy and Kathryn and Me and Mommy and Elizabeth!. A belated Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you!

The green ranger rides again!!!

Yeah.... we don't really need a joke here. Isn't the photo enough?

Homeward Bound

Homeward bound,

I wish I was Homeward bound

You know I hear that at home the Mommy and Daddy are always there to feed you and hold you... all you have to do is cry!

Home, where my thoughts escape me

I got my own crib and my own bottles. My own Mommy to feed me and my own Daddy to wipe my... you know where

Home, where my musics playing

No more wires to wear. No more screaming babies. No more nurses prodding and poking!

Home, where my love lies waiting

Everything is here home I tells ya. EVERYTHING! wait Where's Kat?

Silently for me.

New Pic and Mystery resolved

Elizabeth, would you stop gorging yourself and get over here?

uhhhh OK Brain... I mean Kat

Now we are going to explain to the fine folks at home one of the mysteries of twindom.

Whats that Kat?

WHY ONE TWIN IS GOOD AND THE OTHER EVIL!!

surrrrree..

Its quite simple mathematices you see. My birth weight was 3 pounds 6, the square root of which is 6. While your weight was 4 pounds 9, the square root of which is 7.

But pounds aren't decimal...

Never mind that the point is you're a 7 -- a generally lucky number-- and I'm a 6 -- a generally evil number. Thus I am the evil twin.

If you say so... ?!?!?

Gee Kat, what are we gonna do today?

The same thing we do every day, dear Elizabeth. TRY TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!

Coup baby Coup

Well Faithful readers I tell you I'm quite exc.....





excited about .... What The?!?!?!?!

Thats right goodbye to the terrible twos -- HELLLO to the terrible two. We've arranged with that grandma lady to VictoriaJ to colder climes and now mommy is all ours. Here is proof. BETH??!!? why didn't you get the newspaper to date the photos like I said? If you want something right.... Anyway welcome to the new Blog.

A Not So Happy Halloween

I don't think this is my favorite holiday. First of all, my costume was hot and a little short, especially after my wonderful dancing in the parade. My teacher said I was just like a ladybug--flittering here, there, and everywhere. Secondly, while I could grow to like this pizza thing, it's just so unfair that they want you to eat it from the apex. I prefer to eat crust first. Lastly, what's with this going to houses and then not going inside them? The candy is nice for Daddy, but what do I get out of the deal? Oh well, I hear Thanksgiving is coming soon and I love that holiday. All I'm expected to do is eat. I can do that.

Potty Training

Ahh this potty training isn't hard at all! Just drop you pants. Do your business and flush it away!


maybe next time I'll try it without a diaper...

2 years ago today....

We started this Blog!!! Hard to believe it has been two years, but here are some pics to prove it





First 2005

Then 2006







And last 2007

Wow what a ride !!!

I've grown a bit and the computer room got real messy!!!!

He He, here's to two more years!!!

We have lots to look forward as we deal with the terrible Twos and the terrible two ( just kidding Kathryn & Elizabeth-- see ya soon). There is lots to look forward to as we are planning a revamp for our 250th post ( just 4 away). Heck I'm so happy I may just have to sing a song!

!

no really !!

On the good ship baaaaathtub...

Sure it might have been a bathtub at one time -- but now it's my new boat! ARRRGH maties hop aboard and we'll sail the seven seas looking for excitement and adventure. But be carful of the evil Captain Daddy. He'll swoop you up and toss ya straight into the bath... and make ya clean. Bah us pirates don't need baths!!

Gee its great being two, it's so easy to have fun.

More Guests!

Ya'll may remember my friend Keira. http://victoriajmuller.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html See January 6, 2006 and http://victoriajmuller.blogspot.com/2006_07_01_archive.html July 9, 2006. Her Mommy drove many, many miles just so we could play. She also brought Mommy a new stoller for my little sisters. I liked showing Keira and her little sister my blocks, books, and dancing table. Keira was very nice and she sure talks a lot. She had a little trouble saying the V in my name, but Toria is what some of the kids at preschool call me too. Her little sister, Maeryn, laughs a lot, but I don't understand why she starts crying. I just wanted to touch her pretty eyes. Anyhow, I was very tired after our playtime, so it's early to bed for me.

Guests!

Yes, we had some more guests this weekend. Check out the picture of my friend Claire to the right. She was a funny kid. When she first came over she pulled out all my toys; finally settling on Mr. Quackers. I was a little nervous because she was so tall. Can you believe she's only six months older than me? She turned out all right though; at the end of our visit she was following me around and copying things I did like dancing, singing, and shouting. What can I say I must be a born leader. Below is a picture of her whole family. Notice her little brother in the middle there. Cute kid though a bit of a pushover --- if you know what I mean, you know... I PUSHED HIM OVER !!! Oh well, he's OK now. Good night all -- from Victoria J

Slow Sunday

It was an especially slow day today. I let Mommy and Daddy sleep in till 11. Normally, Mommy sets the alarm, but I guess she forget. They've been working real hard lately. I just sat around drinking my milk and looking outside. How wonderful it was. People were running round doing the errands. My friend Hannah was going for a walk with her folks. Ahh, Autumn in Texas. Heck it was only 91 degrees! Brrrrrrr! Wake up Daddy! Wake up Mommy we got stuff to do!

Reading is Fundamentally ----- tasty!

Yes, I do love the reading and the book. This one here is especially tasty!

NO NO NO Victoria we don't eat the books

Don't eat the books? What do you mean don't eat them? Mommy said to enjoy my reading. To get into it. Devour the books. Especially, the ones with sheep.

She was speaking metaphorically.

Metawhatsical?

Meta... oh it doesn't matter. We do NOT eat books OK? We cherish and value them.

And wait for Daddy to cook them.

And wait fo ..... NOOOOOO!

I mean he has all those books with the all that food in them.

You mean the cookbooks?

Yes, exactly ! Book that you cook! And once cooked, eaten!

I give up.

Could you pass the Dr Seuss? I'd like some green eggs and ham. No, well I'll settle for the lamb Daddy made for dinner. It sure was tasty.

See-ya! Bye bye!

Well, I'm off again. As you can see my bag is packed and I'm ready to to head to Grandpa's. I've been so busy lately with the pre-school and the speaking classes that I decided I needed a little R&R. So, it's over the hill and through the woods helloooooooooo Grandpa's house, not to mention Grandma, Ash, Brit and Mort! Gonna be a hot one tonight - just another day in the life of Victoria J! Grandma even said she'd wash my outfits, as Mommy seems to be very tired lately. I wonder why?

New Hiding spot

SShhh don't tell Mommy or Daddy but I'm a hiding in here! Thats right I'm a hiding. All this talk about the new kids coming in, well fine. Let's see how they do without me.They'll see how much they need. Heck it takes TWO of these new kids to replace but 1 Victoria! It is kinda cramped in here though. Isn't anyone gonna come and get me out? Dadddy????? Where are you!!!!!

Nothing to say

Not much to say today...

sorry just figured I publish a new pic

Have a good one!!!

Getting ready!

Well I haven't posted so much lately and I do apologize. You see we have been busy at the old Muller homstead getting ready for the impending doom. I mean our two wonderful bundles of Joy :). Well one bundle of Joy and one bundle of Josephine. Mommy has been taking most of it calmly as she gets bigger and bigger while Daddy, well Daddy has been running around like the proverbially chicken with his head cut off. Me, well I'm just taking it in stride and doing what I can. I've taken up a new hobby-- "strolling" maybe when the new kids get here I can push them around. Oh who are we kidding, you know I'll push them around!!!

School Daze

So today I went to my very special first day of Pre-school. Let me tell you, it was an adventure to top all others! There was so much to do there. Stations to play at; and stations to create at; and stations to eat at and drink too. And guess what kiddos... I drank out of the big girl cup. That's right no sippy straws for this bold adventurous lass. There were so many other kids there and so much to learn. It was fun for the first three hours, but you know what, there was one thing missing. There was no Mommy!!!! Yes, its true, and when they said "sit down" ( to sleep) I stood up!* and yelled "I want my Mommy" and "See ya, bye bye" for about an hour and 30 minutes. You'd think they would have gotten the message quicker... Well, we will see what happens next time -- I'm going to try again Wednesday

As always your intrepid misadventurer Victoria J

Weekend with the Grandparents

I am officially a big girl now. I got to spend a whole weekend with my Grandpa and Grandma S, and of course Brittney, Ashlee and Mort. It was actually Mort who convinced me. Grandma asked if I wanted to go visit Mort and I grabbed her hand and headed out the door. Of course I dressed for the trip--notice the coordinating pink shirt, skort, shoes and of course the hat. You just can't travel in this summer heat without your hat! Think I could earn some extra cash as a model? Guess I'd have to quit chewing my fingernails, though. Daddy, maybe it's time to trim them.

I got the nicest surprise when it came to bedtime. My old friends were waiting for me. As you can see, I'm snuggling up to them in my sleep--my bumpers. I had fun pointing to things like bunnies and bears and flowers and blocks and smiling because I remember seeing them when I was too little to know what they were. It was awfully nice to snuggle up to those bumpers at night, too. Grandpa laid down beside me and began snoring. I could just reach underneath and poke him to stop, just like Grandma does! Anyway, I got to nap and sleep the night away right between Grandma & Grandpa. The first morning I woke up around 7:30, pulled myself up to see who was on the other side of the bumpers, saw Grandpa and said, "Grandpa" (or my version of it), then looked over and saw Grandma on the other side and said "Grandma" and then smiled again and said, "Night, night." Then I immediately laid down and went to sleep for another three hours. That Temperpedic is some bed!

They even feed you at Grandpa's house, too. I'm so big I can crawl onto my seat all by myself. Here I am waiting for someone to see me and fix something to fill this plate. Of course, it made a great hat while I was waiting. In case you don't know it, I really, really like hats!

While staying with Grandma and Grandpa was nice, I must admit I was glad to get home and see Mommy and Daddy. But now I know when I get bored with them, I have somewhere else I can go with things to do, people to play with, and of course Mort to pet. I can throw his ball for him now and he loves to play fetch.

More later. . .

Brusha Brusha Brusha or you'll get a toothache

That's right I brush my teeth every day. Usually 2 or 3 times. No cavities on me! No way, no how I'm going to keep these teeth for my whole life!!!

Huh -- Baby Teeth?? What are you talking about Daddy?

World's Strongest Toddler

Come gather round and see proof of the world's strongest girl-- that's ME! Victoria J!



















First Exhibit A -- a picture of a metal bar placed carefully in my mouth ( Caution -- don't try this at home kids)

Next Exhibit B -- the bent bar. Now if I can do this with my bare teeth just imagine what all of me can do. You you better be scared! I'm a rough and tumble little lady.... now where's my Mommy?

Flying on a Swing

Well, Mama went flying in a plane, so Grandma S came to get me. She took me to her house for my first overnight and she thought I should get to fly too, but she didn't have a plane for me, so we did the next best thing. We went to the park! I got to fly on a swing. I even made my first conquest as this cute boy came over and pushed me. I just batted my eyes at him and babbled a bit, but that was OK because he didn't speak much more English than me. Grandma S could talk to him, though, and after a couple times of saying "despacio" it was the ideal trip in the air. Eat your heart out--I'm flying!

The pool

Some of you may have noticed a drop in activity at the old MooVM. Well, It's summer and I'm spending some lazy days at the pool.... so sue me !!!! Seriously though things have quieted down here... almost too quiet. Makes me wonder mommy and daddy are up to...

I'll try to write more often. Till then stay cool!

do what I do -- jump in a pool!!!

Hands in the cookie Jar

OK so its cereal and not cookies, but Daddy caught me tonight . What can I say? I love my breakfast food -- even at 9:30 pm! Course if you think this is bad -- you should have seen what I did with the oatmeal earlier...

Tight fit

Man this crib is getting tooo small. I need to find myself a new place to sleep or change positions :) Maybe I could sublet the place to those new kids mommy's always talking about. If they are as small as she says then they can sleep here!

Being Two

OK, I'll hide the box over the escape tunnel and Mommy and Daddy will never know...

To heck with this I'm not going back to my crib...see ya Daddy!

Uhhmmmm..... yeahh ...................How does this Pull-Up Work again?

If I have to clean --then Heck Im going make a mess!

No child was hurt in making this photo. the pantry on the other hand will never be the same.

Now That I'm 2, They Make Me Work

Boy, I'm not sure turning two is worth it. Do you know what they make you do? You have to clean up after yourself.

OK, I'll admit it. Sometimes I'm a messy eater. Yeah, yeah, I'm a REALLY messy eater. But come on, I'm two. I'm better with my fingers than the silverware. I LIKE to eat with my fingers because its faster and I am a good eater.

Last week Mommy asked me to put my Christmas present to work. Grandma and Grandpa got me a broom, and now I have to use it.

Well, I complied, but I'm still not sure about all of this.
