Diva Day at our house.....

It was dress up day at our house.....

Then, we had a mini photo shoot (with the help of photo shop) for Cyvannah.....she told me that she KNOWS why she is so pretty - "it's because of my pretty blue eyes.."

I couldn't agree with her more! He He.....I love them!

7 going on 20.....wheww......

Snack time with bunny.....

Lately, we have come to love our little Build a Bear Workshop Bunny. When we got her, the only name Carlee could say was her own - so, the bunny's name is Car Car. This bunny takes a nap with us everyday and we have dressed and undressed her about 512,000 times!

Our day with Papa.....Great Papa...

My grandpa is visiting for a couple of weeks to try to learn how to walk with 2 canes instead of a walker. He is staying with my Aunt Debi and she is working with him - but, we got him for a Saturday and did we have a full day planned for him! First, we went to the Farm and Art Market - which was fun. He made some friends and was able to sit and visit and talk "Farm" talk. Next, we ate cinnamon rolls from Great Harvest Bread (Thanks Aunt Debi :)) Next, we put him and Carlee down for naps - he he. Then, after they woke up we headed off to the zoo. He had it easy there - we didn't make him walk! The weather was nice and cool...we had all the kids and it was a great day!! We love you Grandpa!

P.S - notice poopy pants way in the background pouting because she didn't want to get in the picture - ha! got her in there anyway......

Our BABY is 2!!!!!!

I am sad and glad. Sad for me - glad for her! I can't BELIEVE it's been two years.....here are some random pics from her special day. We haven't had a party yet - that's coming up in a couple of weeks. BUT, Mimi and Memaw and Aunt Cissi came over and brought presents and people called on the phone - Vanna's class even sang Happy Birthday to her....whew it was a busy day! I love

the last picture...she ended her birthday doing her favorite thing - eating CHOCOLATE!!

Happy Birthday Baby girl - we LOVE you!

Scaredy Cat

Carlee is going through the typical scared stage that comes with age 2......when she goes to bed (yes, she still sleeps in our bed - and we LOVE it) she sometimes gets scared about something and this is how we find her....I guess hiding under the covers still makes it all better!

Little Feet.....

I love little feet....this is always what I see when we are getting ready to eat and it just makes me smile...little piggies peeking out from the chair....thought I would share my smiles with you!

First Day of School 2009

Ahh.....the first day of school is here - FINALLY!!!!

Cayden is in 5th grade this year and Cyvannah is in 2nd grade. We have AWESOME teachers so we are very excited! Vanna is still young enough to pose for a picture with her teacher but, I had to sneak this picture of Cayden standing in the hallway....he's too cool for mom stuff!

Dad takes the older kids fishing....

Last year, we went to a pond close to our house and caught a bunch of baby catfish. We took them to a new pond at Matt's office and let them all go to see if they would grow for this year. The did grow and now we have our own little catfish store....Matt made filets and grilled them - they tasted pretty good! Poor fishies.....

Our Homemade fly swatter.....

This right here is why I had kids. Carlee just slaps on the sparring helmet and grabs the old fly swatter and goes to town....it is pretty funny to watch!

Did I tell you that I LOVE chocolate?
