Santa Clause is Commin' to Town!

Lucy was so excited to see Santa. Since then, every time we go to the mall she thinks she's going to see him!

Lydia didn't really know what was going on, but had fun playing in the wrapping paper just the same.
Lucy got a baby with a cradle and all the things that go with it. She loves to play mommy now that she has a little sister!

You can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man!

Lucy helped decorate a gingerbread house at Grandma Mathis' house. I think she ate more candy than she helped put on the house. I think we did a pretty good job for gingerbread rookies!!

The Stairs

Lydia is now a pro at the stairs, well...at least going up them. She started crawling about two weeks ago after mastering the speedy army crawl. She is 7 months old in this picture.

Sinter Claus Kapuncha

Time for Dutch Christmas at grandma Faggs! It's so fun to get all the kids together. Lucy LOVES it! We sang dutch songs, ate the best soups, breads and cheeses, and got our goodies from Sinter Clause.

Lucy got a set of princess dress-ups and a little princess doll that she absolutely loves.

What a girl!

One Princess and One Gangsta Princess

Lucy always has to put on a princess dress when we get the grandma Collier's. She hepled Lydia with her crown. : )

Sisterly Love!

This is a picture of them playing nice. You should see them really wrestle!

Happy Thanks Giving!

Lucy played a really yummy game with Uncle Jim. She would put a grape in his mouth and he would spit it acros the room. Lucy would run and get it and repeat the process. She thought it was hillarious!

Cute Cousins

April, Anna(2), Taylor & Kennedy(1 1/2), Monica, Anya, Lucy(2)

Gloria, the male beta fish.

Yep, that's right. It's a boy yet Lucy named it Gloria. At first she was a little freaked out by it, but now she loves it. Kelsie gave it to her as an early christmas present.

Splish splash, they were taken' a bath...

Emphasis on the splish splash part! Lydia is an animal in the tub! She just goes crazy the secone she hits the water! And Lucy tries to help clean Lydia. Good thing Lydia loves her!

Twinkle Toes

Lucy LOVES having her toes painted and this time she wanted mom to "match match", so we did.

Poor kid got my lurpy toes!

Once again, my crazy kids...

Looks like she'll be a natural!

Am I the coolest mom or what?

I made this totally awesome airplane out of a diaper box. (since we use a lot of them I thought I'd put one to good use!)

Happy Halloween!

Here's my little cave girls!

Lucy loved being dressed up!

Our neighbor had this spider out on her lawn, and everytime we walked past Lucy had to touch it. She was a little scared, but very interested!

We went trick-or-treating at Apple Village, the nursing home that aunt Krista works at. It was hillarious. The old people loved seeing all the kids. Some of the alzheimers patients had a hard time. One lady took a candy out of Lucy's bag, looked at it for a minute, then put it back in. It was hillarious!

What?!

Who's Birthday it is?

"Happy Day Party!"

Lucy woke up to birthday french toast,


complete with candles and all!


She got to have a special birthday lunch
with grandma Mathis, and got her
princess cake.

She'll never have a better cake!

Presents...

Presents...

Presents...

But the balloon was the best!

Silly hair day!

I got bored with the usual single ponytail, so I tried something...different.

Lucy(almost 2), Lydia(4 1/2 mo.)

Our precioius Lydia.

16 already?

You're not old enough to love shoes! (I hope!)

Happy...sad...

Here's our happy little cowgirl!


Here is our angry little cowgirl. She was really mad I was laughing and taking a picture. (oops!)

Playtime!

Lucy loves playing on the floor with Lydia and can't wait till Lydia can playback.

She's growing so fast and always smiles!

Silly, silly girl.

What a cute girl. A poser, but still cute.

Smiling ever since she could!
