I love this welcome home smile:)

This little girl is a mama's girl and this is the smile I get whenever she see's me! I just love it!

Brennen is back to crawling:(

James and Brennen were wrestling with each other and James rolled onto Brennen's foot funny. He just would not stop crying and then he would not walk on it. So, I took him to the ER and he cracked a bone in the middle of his foot. So for the rest of the weekend, he would not put any weight on it and he just crawled around. He finally started walking again this afternoon, but he is walking on his heel. Poor Baby!

Charlotta's starting to crawl!

Charlotta is working on moving forward. I just love this video because she uses so many different "techniques" to get there.

More often than not though, she just does the Lotta-fly and goes no where!

Best Buds!

It must be true -- that old saying that says you hurt those the most that you love the most. Kellen and Brennen sure beat up on each other, but at the end of the day, they just can't stay away from each other. Brennen always calls out, "Kellen Riley, I need you!"

Another tooth gone!

This was a bit of a shocker for us. Usually Skylar has a loose tooth for months and we have to hog tie her down to pull it out. However, this time she got it in her head that she was going to get this tooth out (it really was not that loose) and she must of wiggled hard because there was a lot of blood. However, I was so proud that she did it all on her own with out us even saying anything!

MAMA! I'm ready for bed!

It was only 5:30, but for some reason Charlotta was really tired. I ran to the store quick to pick up a few things for dinner and JT fed Charlotta. This is how it went for him:



She has never done this before, so I hope that she is not getting sick!

Look who is finally sitting!

Yeah, Charlotta! You finally did it. Last week she could not sit at all, she just kept falling backwards. Then today, she just decided to do it and sat for about 30 min. without falling over. I was beginning to think she wouldn't sit until she was one! I think this face tells all--she is one determined little girl. When she gets something in her mind-watch out (oh boy-Skylar part 2)!

Mama, aren't you so proud?

Second snow day in a row!

Two snow days (school cancelled) in a row is hard on Mama! At least it is fun to play in all of that snow with friends!


However, I will stay inside, nice and warm and cute!

Grandma's Birthday

Today is grandma's birthday, so we had her over for some dinner, cake and presents. The kids always love a birthday party, no matter whose it is!
Skylar is making sure that Grandma does it all just right.

Here is the cake that Skylar made and decorated all by herself, complete with gouge marks from Brennen's fingers!


James and Kellen were lighting quick to get the candles before grandma could!


Group shot attempt #1 (pretty good:).

Number 6--James is hugging Kellen so hard that he is choking him!

Happy Birthday Grandma!
