Snowy day!

Crazy girls!

Notice that she is putting something in her mouth! Anything but food.

Always smiling!

It snowed all day today! Ashley and Kaylie were really fun today. Ashley got her first pig tails, they didn't stay in very well but they were sure cute while they lasted. She has decided that she doesn't want baby food, she wants what we are eating. When I put her on the floor she will pick up anything and everything and shove it in her mouth but if I put food in her hand she just holds it. What is up with that?

Kaylie's Birthday!

Who is that trying to get in the picture? DAVID is that you?

Crazy faces!

Our little 3 year old in her new dress ups that NEVER come off!

"The best cake in the whole world!" Yeah right!

Kaylie woke up Thursday morning and was so excited for her friends to come over and eat her birthday cake. "They'll think it's the best cake in the whole world mom!" I had to work so I hadn't planned anything! On my lunch break I called the neighbors and told them to come over for some cake and ice cream and it turned out to be a whole lot of fun! Thanks to everyone who came on such short notice! I love our neighbors!! And Jeff took the night off so we got to hang out with dad AND he cleaned the house before I got home from work. SWEET!

Kaylie's latest...

Our dear little Kaylie will be turning 3 years old on Thursday! She says the craziest things! I don't even know where to begin so here goes:

"Dad you're ruining my life!"

"Mom, I don't have boobs yet, I just have boob dots. See!" (As she proceeded to lift up her shirt to show me).

"Ashley, you're my best friend in the whole world!"

"When I was a grown up and you were a baby...."

"Mom, why aren't you smiling at me?"

Who made this mess Kaylie? "ASHLEY did it!"

Christmas Eve!

We are soooo excited for tonight! Kaylie has picked out Santa's treat menu! She says he wants Oreo's and milk NOT Egg Nog! After all Oreo's are milk's best cookie :)
We are hoping that Kaylie, Jeff and Ashley will get over their sicknesses today! Colds are a terrible thing to have for Christmas! I think Ashley feels the worst but she is such a sweet little thing and as long as she is being held is perfectly content. I tried to take pictures of the girls in their Christmas dresses but my camera battery died so this is all I could get. At least I'll have the battery all charged for Christmas! I think everyone in our family made it on the "Nice List", but we'll have to wait until tomorrow morning to find out for sure!! Merry Christmas everyone, we were LAME this year and didn't get our Christmas cards sent out but we love all of our friends and family and hope you know that we are thinking of you!

How do you like Kaylie's baby Jesus? In nursery yesterday all the kids got a special doll (baby Jesus) wrapped in swaddling clothes. Of course he was from the dollar store....anyway his head popped off and Kaylie was so upset that Jesus had been beheaded so dad fixed him....Duct tape fixes everything right? She was thrilled! She said, "Hey now he's wearing a shirt!"

Marsha and Melissa!

I'm watching you!!!! Haha!

December!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We are so excited for Christmas this year. Kaylie made sure that we put up our christmas tree and said we had to put "uniforms" on it. Aka..ornaments. She now knows the difference :) This morning we woke up to the best thing ever SNOW so it really looks like Christmas! We quickly put on our snow gear and went outside to make "Frosty the Snowman". We used oreos for his eyes, paper for his nose and buttons, and blueberries for his mouth. It was a lot of fun and then we came inside for some hot chocolate! We also made a chain of paper to count down the days until Christmas! As Kaylie would say....GIPPEE! Ashley stayed inside with daddy but we had to take pictures of her too!

Nicknames

So I have started calling my children Zerg and Zork both used interchangeably. The question I keep getting is why? and where did these names come from? Do you remember the evil emperor Zerg from Toy Story? That is Kaylie....no explanation necessary....except when she's being sweet and adorable which really does still happen! (in glimpses). And why do I call sweet innocent Ashley these names? Because she grins huge every time I say them so maybe she just likes the ZZ sound? Who knows? I'm not very good at nicknames if you couldn't already tell but I come by it honestly! My sister calls her little boy doodoo.....Where did that come from? No, not from poop, but from dude! But if you didn't know....what would you think???
