Amazing March

This was on March 1.  I am trying to play catch up with the blogging since I have not been so diligent lately.

An amazing little helper.  I had the empty basket in the living room and was on my way to the girls’ room to collect sheets to be washed.  I turned around and the basket was gone.  Hmm?? Where could it be? Casey had taken it to the hall and started putting their sheets in it : )  Then she pushed it all the way down the hall to the laundry room.  Lundyn joined along the way,.. for a minute.

 

And on March 3, we took the girls to Build A Bear!!!  I can just see the wheels turning in their minds.  “WOW!! What do we do?”

It took a few minutes to pick out which animal they wanted. 

And finally Casey chose the Bunny : )  aka “Bunny”

And Lundyn chose the frog.  Currently known as “Froggie”

Then we were off to get stuffed.  Lundyn stepped on the pedal to make the machine fill Froggie with stuffing, good thing there is a “turn off” switch for the employee to flip.  : )  Casey was not as interested in pushing the pedal.  Funny because she is normally the more outgoing of the two.  Then we give the animal a heart, but not before kissing the heart, and rubbing it on the head to make Bunny and Froggie smart.  And on the feet to help them run fast and jump high : )

Bunny and Froggie had to get a bath before we pick out clothes,..

Casey picked a cute white shirt with pink trim and Lundyn picked a pretty purple shirt with silver decorations.  Absolutely adorable and so much fun to be able to do this with our children.  Next, we were off to find something to eat!!  OOH and for my mom, we went to Olive Garden and Lundyn picked up the purple onion on the salad and ate it!! More than once.  I do have pictures,.. and I was almost horrified : )  Must get it from daddy because we all know how mommy “loves” onions LOL

Another successful attempt at drinking from a regular cup!!!

It’s a learning process : )

Our next big adventure will be First visit to the dentist this week. 

Finish February

Since Daddy had to work on Valentine’s Day, we decided to meet for lunch.  Had a good time taking pictures and spending time with Daddy during daylight hours : )  And I think it was the first time for them to eat cheese fries.  None of them went to waste. ha ha

I started adding curls to the girls’ hair once in a while at Christmas.  I love the way it looks in these pictures.  And we have heard from the beginning that L looks like Daddy.  In these pictures,.. I really see it now : )

 

we had a little cheese with our meal ha ha ha and Casey loves bread.  Like mother like daughter.

We play with bubbles in the tub,.. I guess they are trying to wash each others’ hair. 

Lundyn seems to be fascinated with Baeley.  She wants to cover him with a blanket, or lay down next to him when he is trying to sleep.   We may have a veterinarian in training.

And she still cannot live without “Baby”.  She has to have Baby to sleep at night, yet she drags Baby all over the house so when it is bedtime mommy and daddy are on a hunt for the missing Baby,.. LOL.  Seriously, we see a very nurturing characteristic with Lundyn and it is so precious.  We love the way she wants to cover Baby with a blanket.  A few weeks ago we were in the truck and somehow Baby was going too.  The sun was shining in L’s eyes and I said “put Baby over your eyes”,… She put her hand over Baby’s eyes.  Just amazing!

WHERE IS WALDO????

We started getting a little more serious about showing the girls  letting them figure out how to drink from a regular cup.  They have been drinking from a cup in the bathtub for months and months.  Why not give it a whirl at dinner??  Casey really did well.  Lundyn wants to stick out her tongue which results in milk running down her front : )

And on 2/22 mommy made some Peanut Butter Playdoh and let the girls play.  We had a good time, and peanut butter has protein, much better than the real playdoh stuff.

 

And I am setting a goal to keep my kitchen counter this clean all the time : )  With the exception of the dishes in the sink.  Dishwasher was full ha ha

Happy Valentine’s Day

I thought I would have this post done a couple of hours ago, but things happen : )

This is a masterpiece created by Lundyn this morning!! We can’t help but laugh at the things she does, but when I took this picture, I am not even sure I can describe the thoughts that went through my mind. It looks like photo art. Just hilarious!!!

Artist at work,.. editing ..err reconstructing after she has tasted the masterpiece : )

and the real event of the day is that it is VALENTINE’S DAY!

Daddy was all prepared with cards and chocolate,..

mommy made a speedy trip to town before daddy went to work and this is what the girls got from mommy,...

balloons, a couple of movies, chocolate, and cards

they seriously inherited a love for chocolate : )

26 months!!

I cannot believe it has been 26 months since our little angels arrived. Wanted to be sure and get some pictures today and get them posted. I am a little behind with the moving pictures from camera to computer and getting updates on here. So enjoy,..

We finally got out of the house again today at 5:00 ha ha. When we got home the girls had a quick dinner,.. pancakes, banana and milk. After dinner they played in the kitchen.

Lundyn was throwing the ball for Breezy. Both girls were laughing and almost rolling on the floor.

Brushing teeth before story time.

Here is a video clip from tonight

UPDATE- I found this picture. It was taken Jan 30 just after 1pm. Girls were napping and I went to check on them since we were only in the toddler beds a day.

Just January

Well, I couldn’t let January end without posting something.  So here it is, an hour before.

We made a day trip to Gma’s just because.  It was about nap time when we left home and I hate seeing them sleep like this in their car seats but they won’t use the head support things. : )  The nap didn’t last too long anyway,..

We opened a few belated Christmas gifts,..

 

And some that were not wrapped.  These are from Uncle J.  Sort of an ongoing thing to get noisy toys.  It makes things interesting.  And the girls call them a vacuum.  One is the popper and one is a chime,…

Just thought I would add a photo of Baeley, because we turned his world upside down.  We got a puppy,… and I use the term “puppy” lightly because she is under a year old.  However, she is bigger than Baeley.

We call her Breezy.  We were just throwing names out there and thought “how many chocolate labs are there in the world named Coco?” so that didn’t fit.  She loves to run and chase the ball.  It’s  a good way to get her outside : )  We have a lot of snow on the ground now.  Baeley has always handled it pretty well.

Breezy loves it.  She runs around chasing the ball and eating snow.  Her previous backyard did not have any grass so our yard was an adjustment for her.  And then it snowed ha ha!!

just another picture of the backyard with all the snow,…

The girls have had the congestion and cough again so I am not fond of this picture.  But I was totally enjoying the hour I spent in my chair today with the girls sleeping.

And on toward February we go,…
