My funny boy!

So, the kids have been learning about Martin Luther King Jr. in school these last couple of weeks and Cole is now on a first name basis with 'Martin'. He would come home and start talking about Martin this and Martin that and I would have to ask him who Martin was, "you know mom, Martin Luther!" Of course 'Martin'. Anyways, the other night the kids were getting ready for bed and Ellie said, "I had a dream...." trying to tell me about a dream she had when Cole interrupted and said, "Hey! That's what Martin said!" It was hilarious!

Ayz's first ponytail...

Well, if you can call it a ponytail! I was so excited that her hair is finally long enough to put a rubber band in it. I haven't done it again since but she was actually not to terribly bad, I just had her sit on the counter and brush her teeth ( one of her favorite things to do). She didn't mind it being in until that night either. What a cute baby!

Christmas 2009

We stayed home and had Christmas in our new house this year. It was really nice. We just hung out in our jammies for the entire day and let the kids play with their new things. I don't know why we didn't do this before but I think we all enjoyed a calm and relaxing day.

Ellie's Dance Recital

Ellie had her first dance recital and she loved every minute of it. She felt like a princess and honestly thought people didn't recognize her because of her makeup! She did really good and we were so proud of her.





She even got flowers at the end of the night.

Halloween 09

Halloween was a little hectic and crazy this year. We moved out of the town homes earlier that day so we were rushing to get the kids ready for trick or treating later that evening, but we finally made it. Cole and Ayzie were a little cranky from the day but Ellie was more than ready to get some candy! They had a pretty good time.





Ayzie's was a chicken. This was one
of the best pics I got of her, she was
very cranky!


Ellie was Ariel

Cole was a werewolf

Ayzie's One Year Pics

My friend Brooke took these cute pictures of Ayzie for her 1 year old pics. She did a really good job and I think they turned out adorable! Look at my sweet baby girl...
