style

oh, this little cutie ripped the necklace and bow out of her hair and threw them on the ground not long after the picture was taken

make-up glasses

Oh the joys of make-up. She's loves it and since she's pretty responsible, she gets to play with it often. This was over a week ago and she still has black eyeliner behind her ears (she's even taken several baths)

wall climbers

I taught the kids how to climb the door jams and the hallways. They had so much fun doing it over and over and over and over again.

daring

she climbs...on everything

snow baby

skiing

We took Sweetpea skiing this weekend. On Saturday, she practiced with her dad a little. Then, on Monday we put her into group lessons at one of the Ski Resorts. She did FANTASTIC. I was so worried that she would be cold and miserable. When we went to check on her, she didn't even have her coat on and she was laughing and smiling. I was so glad that her first experience was super positive.

dirt

The girls found our dirt piles. Gumdrop slid down the hills on her belly and then ate a ton of dirt, saliva mixed with dirt equals a lot of mud.

new baby

We have a beautiful new baby in the family.
My cousin had this little cutie.
10.6 lbs
19 1/2 inches
Here she is 4 days old.
She is so sweet and sleepy, except when we were taking her picture, then she was wide awake. Her mom says it's the most she's been awake since she was born.

she's two!!!!

Meet my little two year old...she loves babies, she is so kind and tender.



she loves to be outside



she's pretty wild and crazy



she doesn't mind getting dirty



she's a climber



she loves to chew gum. She will her gum for a long time and usually throws it in the garbage.
I didn't get her eating...dirt.
Lately, she's eaten sand, cow manure compost, dirt, bark, chalk and probably a whole bunch of other things I didn't see

happy birthday

st patricks leggings

wow I wish I looked that cute in leggings.

blankey, thumb, and heater

This is one of their favorite spots. It's one of the "warm" spot in the house. They have been so fun with each other lately. They can play so well together and when they laugh with each other, I love to stop what I'm doing and go watch them. It's also nice to see them just hang out together.

independant

Gumdrop loves to do everything by herself. She is amazing.

bathtime

just because....

I'm not really quite sure who this little, cute, demure girl it....



or this one either....



oh wait, yes I do...it's my Gumdrop



And Sweetpea asked me to take her picture. How could I resist?
