Big stuff on the stairs.....

Although this is not "new" news....it is the first time Mommy has taken pictures of me "hauling hiney" up the stairs...... Hey Lauren.......I'll race ya!

Ok...I gave you a head start....now watch out....here I come!

I love to crawl up the stairs every minute I can!!! I giggle the entire time!

Aunt Carol's cookies!!!

Apparently our family has a tradition of homemade cookies on the first day of school!!! Thank goodness Auntie Kaleigh started classes today....Aunt Carol made her yummy-delicious cookies!!!! As you can tell from the crumbs on my face.....they made me one happy little girl!!! This smile is planted on a face that has not had a nap all day......and before the cookies....I was not smiling all that much! I barely made it home before falling asleep!!!

Thanks Aunt Carol!!! You are the best baker in the family.....my Mommy probably doesn't even know how to make cookies from scratch......

Bed time hugs!!!

Hurry Mommy before she strangles me!!! My sister loves to come into my bed when it is time for me to go Nite-nite.....I think it is because she loves to search through my toys to see which ones should be in her bed instead! When Mommy tells her to give me a hug....I brace myself because she can really give a hug! I love my sister and her hugs make me smile every time!!!

Indoor fun!

Mommy tries to get us out of the house everyday but when we are having bad weather, we are forced to enjoy our toys at home! Mommy and I found this rocking horse at a garage sale recently and after I tried it out in their driveway.....we decided together that it was a must to be part of our family! I think it may have been the fact that I kept calling it a cow and saying "Moo" that made her agree with me that we needed it! Miley was sleeping in her car seat so Mommy let me play at the garage sale for a while as she sat in the driveway...the people that were having the sale were very nice and they told us that it had been in their family for a long time! We promised that we would take good care of it! I showed them how I could ride it while sipping a Capri Sun juice drink that they were selling! It was pretty fun and entertaining for the other people at the sale....the nice little boy who was the last to "own it" carried it to the car for us! I have been having a lot of fun riding it! I really like the little books.....they taste delicious!

Elmo...where did you go?? I crawled under here to play with you but now I can't find you!!!

Help Mommy....get me out of here!

Sweet Dreams!!!

Is there anything more precious then a sleeping baby??? Mommy just could not resist this shot because at the rate I am growing, I won't be a "baby" for much longer.....ZZZZZZZZ

Water park fun!!!

Mommy and Daddy took us to a local water park for the first time! What in the world were they waiting for.....we all had such a blast!!! Mommy said she had heard it was so busy that you could not even move in the pools so she had been avoiding it since we are so little yet.....then one night she had a great idea that we should go in the evening....certainly it would not be as busy and since she does no like for us to have much sun exposure, it seemed like the perfect time! And guess what....she was right....it was not too busy and it was still hot out so we did not get cold! What a blast....too bad she thought of it at the end of summer!

I seemed to like the deep water and my sister had so much fun playing in the bubbly water....

She was right....the bubbly water is a blast too....

I had fun crawling around the bubbly water and I even found a friend....she was about 4 yrs old and she just loved me! She kept her hand on my back to keep me safe which Mommy thought was pretty funny..... I learned really quick that when the huge bucket filled up, it also tipped over and poured a ton of water down on all of us! I loved to say...."Yeah wa-wa"....It made me laugh really loud! Here I am trying to catch some of it!

My sister also loved the bubbly water.....she thought it was funny to get her "Hiney" wet......

It is sad but true that all good things must come to an end.....some of us are Ok with it......

And others don't do so well with it........Yikes.....Let me back in the water or someone is about to get hurt! I said I was having FUN.....Hello.....aren't you people listening.....I don't care if they are about to close....I am cute.....the life-guards even told me so....can't they stay late so I can keep playing??

My life in a nutshell....

This is one of Mommy's favorite pictures of me....she says it pretty much sums up my life..... All I really need to put a smile on my face is a Cheerio....and having one stuck to my chin is just plain funny to me!!! I love my Cheerio's and when I am eating them I like to say "Mmmmm"! Life really is great!!!

Iowa girls and their corn!!!

Being an "Iowa girl" it is a must to capture a girl eating her first ear of corn.... I had no problem chewing on it despite the fact that I only have 3.5 teeth....

Yeah!!!! It's official.....I really AM an Iowa girl.....I like it! Give me more Mommy!!! I will try anything and usually like it too....such relief to my parents because my sister is the complete opposite! She will hardly eat anything! Lauren.....you are really missing out!

Trying to catch up!!!

Mommy is trying to catch up with our posts for the past few weeks.....bear with her! She has been spending all of her "free time" trying to learn how to use her new camera.....she's getting there!!! The exciting ones are the time we got to spend with our cousins!!! They came to visit us a few weeks ago and we really appreciated it! We are anxious to go visit them too.....we had so much fun with them! There are a few pages to scroll through for now and we hope to be caught up tomorrow!!!

Groovin' at Chuck E. Cheese's

We had the most exciting time with our cousins when they came all the way from Wisconsin to visit us!!! What a blast! We went to Chuck E. Cheese for lunch as we waited for the rain to stop!! Check us out Groovin' in front of the blue screen.... We were all Shakin' it!!!

Hey....do you think you guys can come back again because I LOVE hanging out with you!!! I have never really had anyone my age to play with....this is great! (we were all 3 born within 2 mo. of each other!!) How cool are we??

Awweee....thanks Addy for coming down to my level on the dance floor! That was nice of you!!

I'm rich .....I'm rich!!!!! This place rocks......they have a corner with games just our size!!! Whooo-hoooo! I see a trip to Vegas in about 20 yrs for the four of us!!!

Hold on tight Grandma....I don't want "YOU" to fall....hehehehe....sorry....couldn't resist!! This really doesn't do much for me.....either move up and down or I'm out of here!

Whee.....this is fun!! Certainly I will grow up to be an excellent driver some day!!

Let me at 'em!!! I love that they have games like this just our size!!!

Daddy....pretty soon I am going to be running on my own and get to play with the big girls!! I can't wait!!! But until then....hanging out with you still puts a smile on my face!

After the rain stopped...more fun!

After "nap time" (which I don't think any of us really had!) We headed over to Grandma's to have some serious fun!!! The rain had stopped....yippee... and check us out on the swings.....what a life we all have!

Mommy even had fun going to a garage sale with her cousins.....and we all have some new clothes that they found! Mommy wants to go to Wisconsin for some city wide garage sales with her cousins this spring! Sounds like fun to us too......

Sharing Grandma's Clubhouse with our cousins!!!!

Hey guys....come check out my "Grandma's Village".....it's a blast! Let's go inside to play!!!

Nana....can you come inside and play too???

Addy really enjoyed the house....she caught on real quick to ringing the door bell! It was so much fun getting to hang out with our cousins!!! They are a blast!!!

Hey everybody....I'm going in......come join me!

There is nothing like a smile like this on a Happy little face! Addy.....we loved playing with you! You are one silly little girl and you run really fast too!!!

I love you too Addy!!!!

Breeya is quite the multi-tasker....she can take two calls at once!
We all had a great time playing on Grandma's Clubhouse!

Gramma,Nana and Aunt Carol also had a very nice visit! Everyone brought delicious food and they even brought us presents!! How sweet!! We both received beach bags full of goodies!!! Mommy was excited also because Aunt Kathy brought her favorite.....peanut butter cups with double peanut butter!!! Yippee!!! This was our attempt at getting a picture of all of us together......unsuccessfully!!!

Another attempt......also unsuccessful!!!

One thing is for sure.....this family simply creates nothing but cutie pies!!!

Breeya is such a cutie patootie... and boy does she have beautiful hair! She is silly like me....

if by chance the mosquitoes were to come out....Breeya and I were totally prepared!

We had such a great time having our cousins come to visit! We really wish all of us lived closer to each other! We never really have the chance to play with kids our age so we really loved having them here! We cannot WAIT to get together again!!! We can see why Mommy was so excited for them to arrive.....they are a blast! We hope that as we grow up we are able to create some great memories like Mommy had of her and her cousins when she was little. Family really is the greatest!!! We love you guys!!!!
