Look At Us!

Party Days

A couple weeks ago we went to Jake's birthday party! I forgot I had pictures until Amanda gave me a snapshot of Outlaw Anna at the party. This was such a cute idea for a Cowboy themed party. The kids had a lot of fun. Thanks for inviting us Jake!

My Little Outlaws...

"I'm gonna get to that ball pit!"



Taylor and Anna

Babies Jacob, Sam, and Jaxon.

This weekend we went to Ava's Princess Party. Anna had fun, and plays with her new Princess mirror and brush all the time! Thank you Ava, we had fun!

Say What?

Matt and I were laughing last night about all the things Anna says to us now. We wanted to get them down before we forgot. Her speech changes every day. I can't believe she will be 2 in less than a month!

Things We Love To Hear Anna Say:

• She requests that we sing Frosty the Bedpan every day
• At church when asked to sing along to "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" she popped up and yelled out "Oh! Anals!" Because an Anal is an Angel to her.
• When I leave to go somewhere and tell her to be good for daddy she replies: "No scheming, no dying" She means no screaming or crying.
• Ring Around the Rosy ends with "Asses Asses, we all fall down"
• When her baby falls out of the stroller she picks it up and pats its back saying, "Oh, hurt? It's okay, it's okay"
• She greets me every day with "Hey mommy, doin?" Meaning, how are you doing?
• "Oh! Sam tootin again! Ewwwww!" She means Sam is puking, or spitting up.
• When you hand her a cookie she usually looks up and says "No no Shelby, no no" Or No no Sadie, depending on who stole her last cookie!
• If we put her in footed PJ's at night she says "Bye toes!" when we put her feet in.
• When I take her socks off she sticks her foot out to me and says "stinky?" Like I want to check for that!

That is all I can think of now. Maybe more will come to me today. She is quite a character. Between her tantrums she keeps us laughing!

Seven Month Sam...

Sam and I on New Years' Eve

Wow! Sam is seven months! He is doing great and even starting to sleep through the night, with a few pacifier runs of course! Matt and I think he is the CUTEST little boy we've ever seen, and he is happy all the time. He is always smiling and laughs very easily which makes up for his sleep issues!

He has 5 teeth, and is eating from a spoon like a champ (finally!). He is successfully moving off of the expensive formula and on to the cheap stuff. YIPPY!! I thought that day would never come.

He is crawling, sitting up, and pulling up with ease. I am not going to yippy that. He is IN TO EVERYTHING!! Things that Anna never found, like the pedal on the kitchen sink, Sam discovered long ago and plays with constantly.

He was 17 pounds at his 6 month check up, and I think he feels heavier every day. We'll see what the nine month check up brings!

Here you go Aunt Connie!

As you requested...Christmas pictures. I only have pics with my family so far. We DID have Christmas with Matt's parents, but I took pictures with their camera and didn't put them on my card. Oops! I will have to do that next time we are in town.

Thank you everyone for our gifts! We love them! The kids are having fun playing with their loot and showing their new stuff to friends here in Texas.
