Fun with One

Lexy spent the night with Nanna and Popoo the last two nights, so this morning we just played outside with Delaney. I think she liked the fact the she got ALL the attention. Here are some photos of our fun. This was the first time she kicked a ball (daddy says she has kicked inside the house before) outside. She also was picking flowers (weeds, rather) for us...so sweet! How do kids know that they should pick things and give it to their parents? We also tried teaching her how to actually use the pedals on the bicycle, but that was a bit too hard. Enjoy!

Sisterly Love

These kind of moments are the ones I live for. I put them in the car to go to Nanna and PawPaw's while I go to work and they just held hands almost the whole way. How cute. I hope they love each other like that FOREVER! Smile.

Oh, Delaney Girl!

"So what? I have a diaper hanging out the back of my pants."

Exactly how does this happen?

Okay, so Delaney's new favorite thing to do when she wakes up is to undress herself. For the past week or more, when we get her out of her bed, she is completely "in the buff"! I hope to snap a pic of it and add it to this post. (I got her with the diaper almost off, but her pants still on....how'd she do that?)

Yeah, and her other new thing is sticking out her tongue while shaking her head and hips when she gets in trouble. Hmmmm....wonder where she learned that from??

Oh, the Joys of 4 year Olds!

So, everyone says that 4 year olds are worse than terrible two's. Didn't quite believe them, even though we didn't experience a lot of the terrible two's, but boy do I now. For some odd reason, Lexy thinks she owns and run the place...and has a whole lot of attitude with it. So, late last night, Richey and I decided to come up with a plan for putting a stop (or at least reduce) to the madness. We threw around some ideas and came up with a chart for inappropriate behaviors and a sticker chart for good behaviors. I'll post pictures when it's ready and let you know how it works!

Blizzard 2011...or maybe just A Big Snow

Yeah, so today is day 5 of being snowed in...not complaining. I'm a busy body so I'm getting a little ancy to "get out", but I so have been enjoying time off with my family! We have played games, read books, cooked every night, which is unusual, ate, and I have become addicted to the game show network. Richey and I so think we could be contestants on Lingo...and of course WIN!!! But, the real reason I am posting is to show the fun we had in the snow ice. We so wanted to build a snowman, but it was covered in ice. We tromped through the icy snow and played with Lily, but the real fun was when Justin, Beth, Anna, and Lauren came over on the four-wheeler and we went sledding...in our yard. Here are pictures of our snow fun!
How many times did I use the word "so"?

More Christmas Fun!

I wanted to post some pictures of Christmas Day at mom and dad's with mom's side of the family! Check out our family pic...we have really grown! The girls love, love, love, Kasey and Matt. In fact, Delaney, when she goes to him she just lays her little head on his shoulder....like she's sayin' "never put me down." We also celebrated Christmas with Richey's family the day after Christmas so I definitely wanted to get pictures on here of that as well. Can you say, "Picture Freak!" Ha!
