Sisters

I feel so blessed to have the wonderful family that I do. As the girls get older we are able to do some fun things with them. The best part is watching them play together. Don't get me wrong, things are not always blissful. There is a lot of fighting and screaming, and crying, but that is to be expected. The other day the girls and I set up a little store in Andrew's room. We had a toy, shoe, clothes, and book display. Then we set up a checkout desk complete with a cash register, credit cards, checks, bags, and Ellie made some fake money. We shopped and had so much fun. We even convinced Dad to come shop a little.


The girls before dance class, I don't think Taylor is doing a official pose!

The girls are always being silly! And they love it when I take pictures of them being silly!

My little teddy bear

Have you seen how cute my kids are?? Well Andrew is no exception. He is the cutest little thing ever! Here he is dressed warm in his bear outfit. I wanted to make sure he was warm, and it worked! I just can't get enough of this little guy. He makes our family so much fun. They grow up so fast, and I can't believe he is already 7 months old. He has two teeth and is always saying "dada!" Justin loves it. Don't you just want to grab his little cheeks and kiss his face?

Princess club

Taylor has been part of 4h this semester. No she didn't learn to sew or cook or raise an animal, she learned how to be a princess! That's right she was in the princess club, where she learned how to be polite. She had a lot of fun. One day the local beauty school came and gave all of the girls makeovers. Taylor looks so beautiful!

All dressed up

These pics were taken a few weeks ago, right before church. I don't know why we had time to take them since our church starts at 9am! We are usually scrambling to get out of the door. After the new year we will have church at 1pm, and I am so so so excited! I might actually get to sleep after I work all night. Anyway, the kids looked cute, as they always do, so Justin decided to snap some pictures.

Andrew's first food

Andrew has started eating solid foods. We started out with the usual rice cereal, and now he is eating all kinds of things. He loves apples, pears, sweet potatos, and peas. He loves to eat and does a pretty good job. As you can tell by the pictures, he always gets plenty to eat!

50's girl

Taylor picked this Halloween costume out because she liked the way it looked. Then she asked, "What is it mom?" "Its a 50's girl." I answered. "What's a 50's girl?" Oh yeah, why would Taylor know what a 50's girl was? I then explained it to her and after watching some selected scenes from "Grease" she was pretty excited. She looked so cute with her glasses and scarf and matching tights! And she was the only 50's girl in her class!
