The Joys of Winter

Charleigh gets so excited when it snows, even when it is just a little bit. The other day there was a dusting in the cracks of the sidewalk, more like a frost. Charleigh was so excited seeing it, she asked if she could go outside. I look out as I am changing Adalyn to see her licking the cracks of the sidewalks trying to eat the snow. I'd say she ate more dog hair or dirt, but I didn't rain on her parade, instead I called her in for breakfast.

Today it snowed more, just enough to cover the lawn and stick, it was also the same morning we are going to see Santa. She is too excited not to go out, even if it is just for a minute. She wanted to make a snow angel but Jasper kept getting in her face and licking her. Plus it was more like a grass angel since there was such little snow.

the conversation today after we got home from sitting on Santa's lap went a little something like this.( well let me clarify, the girls sat on his lap I watched). Grandpa " Hey Lovebug, did you sit on Santa's lap?"
Charleigh "uh-huh." Grandpa " did you ask him about Grandpa's travel trailer?" Charleigh annoyed " ahh Grandpa I forgot bout that, I asked him for a My little pony."

She cracks me up

Wrapped around his finger, again!

Adalyn fell asleep holding on tight to her Daddy's finger. We all know his is the one wrapped around her finger! She is 7 months old today! I cannot believe how fast it has gone by. She is doing so much. She still isn't crawling up on her knees, but is still army crawling, and crawling fast! She is pulling up on everthing! Uh-huh I know at 6 months she is pulling up and wanting so bad to walk! She makes a horse sound where she blows her cheeks. Or like she is blowing raspberries in the air. She does it all of the time, laying in bed playing, when she is playing with her toys, when we make the noise to her she makes it back. I love it. She also makes the cutest sound I cannot explain, it is a combo of a squeal and a sigh, when she is real happy, or content, or relaxed. I love it too! There isn't anything that I do not love. Her and Charleigh bring so much joy into our lives. It is like Christmas everyday.


Does it not bring a smile to your face? AHHH

Charleigh 3. Adalyn 6 months, Clementine 2. I am excited yet in no hurry to see these same girls by the tree in 13 years. Charleigh will be 16, Adalyn 13 and Clementine 15. I wonder how much they will change, how much they will stay the same, and if they will still be best friends. I really hope so.

Before the concert I snapped a few pictures of the girls again.... NOT EASY!!

Clementine CANNOT, and I do mean that literally, help herself form kissing Ada.


Clementine..... FOCUS!!!

Two Sweet Little Girls

Clementine came to stay a few days and play with Charleigh. They have learned how to play so well together. It is neat to watch the things they say to one another that they obviously learned from older people. I find myself listen to them and smiling all of the time. The other day Charleigh got hurt and we offered Charleigh a Popsicle to make her feel better. So we offered Clementine one too. She said "But my leg's not hurt." Like it was a requirement to eating a Popsicle!

An Attempt at a Christmas Picture.

Yes, it is not perfect but look at the next 20 pictures on here and then scroll back up to this one. It will then look very, very good!

Damn Near Impossible!

Not to mention EXHAUSTING!!! If I had a dollar for every time a picture didn't turn out I wouldn't be blogging right now, I would be in Caribbean drinking a fruity drink on the beach.

Really?

Adalyn couldn't stop petting her younger cousin.

Poor July

Adalyn has his ear, and instead of helping him Grandma laughs.

Adalyn is determined to make July cry.

He is trying to get some distance from her, but Grandma has a tight grip on him.

The inevitable..... she makes him break.

I had to adjust the red eye on everyone.....except Charleigh.

Clementine is fading fast, Charleigh is so hungry she is eating her chapstick, Adalyn is getting ready to wiggle free, and July is sick of being surrounded by all females!

Either Charleigh smells something awful or she is practicing her diving breaths for summer.

Clementine is ready for bed, Charleigh's smile is frozen into a scared grin and Kyren is getting ready to unleash the fury!
