Our Fun-filled Sunday

It's not easy to find matching dresses for a baby and a 5 year old. I got these at Sam's Club over a month ago, but it's been cold and windy every time we have a chance to dress up. The girls wore them to church today, but were not very good about posing for a picture after a long day of church and then a birthday party at Scooter's.

You can see that Lauren did NOT want to be held still to have her picture taken. After all, she is on the go these days!







Amy wanted to make sure I got a picture of her new Hannah Montana tattoo that she got at her friend Hannah's birthday party today.


And look how happy Lauren is now that her sister isn't trying to trap her. So much happier just rolling around on the floor.

P.S. We love you Granny and can't wait to see you in a couple weeks!!! xoxo

Our little "Dare Devil"

So, this is just one example of how Lauren is a "Dare Devil." She loves to climb on top of this little walker-car. She even stands on it with no hands! She won't venture out to take a step and start walking, but if there is something to climb, she's on it. Amy has one of those large step stools with two steps that she uses to help in the kitchen. If she leaves it out, Lauren will climb up to the top step. We have to be very careful!

Amy's ladybug

Amy found the cutest little ladybug outside today. She brought it in, put it in a jar, I poked holes in the lid, and she put grass in the jar (along with a piece of paper, just in case). Oh, and the best part is the name. She named it "Coco Head Monkey." Kids!

Hubby has a way with words

Here is what Aaron posted as his facebook status today:

My brother goes off to war today, and troubled is my heart

For every soldier takes his family, at least a little part

I pray for safe return of course and wish him safe and sound

It's in a soldiers sacrifice that freedom can be found

Be safe brother. I love you.

It's hard to get a good picture...

when your baby does this every time you get the camera out. But...it's still pretty stinkin' CUTE! Love this baby!!!

Lauren gives kisses (sorta)

I've been working on kisses with Lauren and she has the sound down. She's so cute, she goes "muah" but then just opens her mouth as wide as she can when she comes toward you. Amy, Daddy, and I just crack up taking turns practicing kisses with her.

Grandma Amy

Over the weekend, Amy was playing dress up and pretending she was the Grandma. Such a cute picture! (And you just gotta love the lipstick!)
