Baby food here we come!

Hurry UP! I'm Hungry!!!

Remme's first take at baby food! Yummmeeeee! The first food she tried was applesauce and cereal. She has moved on to bigger and better things. She can scarf down a jar or two in no time. And, if you take too long getting it to her mouth....she will let you know! She has patience with food liker her Daddy!

Opening Presents!

Reese is very excited about her new play room that Santa Claus brought for her. We completely transformed our home office into this playroom with out her even knowing. We had to buy a child safety lock for the door so she couldn't get in during the transformation. She was VERY SURPRISED!

Everything is her playroom came from Santa! Her activity table, her storage bins, the girls chairs with their names on them and last but not least, her castle!!!

Remme was very excited to see all her new toys!

Hmmm.... I don't know about this!

"Santy Kwos" came!

Reese and Remme's Stockings (Santa went overboard.)
Reese was very excited that Santa came, although on Christmas Eve, she was a little anxious. She is not too sure about that big guy yet and she did not want him coming to her house while she was sleeping. She finally did get some sleep before he arrived!

Cookies for Santa

Reese, Nana and I SLAVED over making cookies for Santa! Thank goodness, because we got lots of goodies! Reese of course wanted to eat them all and drink the milk. Maybe next year we can make cookies from scratch.... Don't count on it Santa!

Sleepover with the cousins!

My sister had to go to her company Christmas party, so we had a sleepover. The kids had pizza, took baths, and snuggled on the couch to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas while enjoying some popcorn! (Wow, there was popcorn everywhere!)

Reese's 1st Performance as a "Professional"

Reese has been taking dance lessons since August 2008. She is doing really well and loves it! For her Christmas program, she did a tap routine to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! She just stood there saying, "Mommy, I did a good job!" during the whole performance. Atleast she didn't cry or run off the stage! It was so cute!!!

Just playing around the house....

Remme is playing well on her tummy! It's getting easier for her to hold up those cheeks!!!! (4 mos)

Reese wants to be in on the action all the time! She loves playing with her little sis!

I was putting the laundry away and when I came back into the living room, I came across this....

She's too funny!

Here Comes Santa Claus....

Reese helped us decorate the Christmas tree for the first time this year! She LOVED it! She wanted to put every ornament on the tree. Needless to say, there were a lot around the bottom! It took so long that it took us two days to get the ornamants on. Plus, I had to do a little rearranging. :)

Thanksgiving!

We spent the day giving thanks for all our blessings! Our family is truly blessed to add to new additions to the family this year. Kinley, my niece, and of course Remme, the smiliest baby ever!

We ate dinner at my parents and the kids spent the day playing football and running around outside! It was a beautiful day!

Daddy's Girls!

These girls are truly Daddy's Girls!!! They love him so much! The room lights up when he walks in the door from work! Reese goes running to greet him and Remme is smiling ear to ear when she hears his voice! They have him wrapped around his little finger! (Now when the "Crumbmaster" and the "Spitmaster" come out, they become Mommy's girls!)

Give Thanks!

Reese had a Thanksgiving Day celebration at Mother's Day Out. She was in charge of "bringing" corn to the dinner table! She was so cute. Here is a picture after the program of her holding Remme!

Busy Weekend!

Danny left to see his grandparents on Thursday and I was a little nervous being home alone with Reese and Remme for the first time for 3 straight days! Remme loves her Daddy time at night and sometimes she has a hard time going to sleepfor me. I had my plate party this weekend so I was busy cleaning the house and trying to figure out a way to go grocery shopping with 2 young kids in tow! Kim and Paul offered to watch Reese for a little while so she could play with her cousins, Kaden and Kinley, and I could take Remme to the grocery store. So it all worked out in the end. The plate party was a success and I think everyone got some really cute things. I can't wait to see how they all turned out. Danny made it home Saturday evening and the girls were so excited to see him. So was a very tired Mommy! Sunday, Danny gave me the afternoon off to go shopping with my sister and then we had dinner with the whole family for Jennifer, Jacob, Jared and Grandpa's birthday. There is something to be said about a whole family with 6 kids that are 6 and under. I think people want to run and scream when they see us coming. We had a great time though and a BIG fun filled weekend!

That's Exactly Right!!!

I have been wanting to see how videos work on blogger, so here goes!

I was capturing Reese play with her ABC Zoo. There is a corresponding animal for each letter of the alphabet. She knows almost all their names and has learned how to match them up on the zoo pad. She decided to say some not so lady like things on this video. I guess it can be funny now since she is only two and we were not in public.

The other day she decided that all the animals were tired and needed a nap, so she laid them all down on their side! I thought this was so funny. What an imagination she has!

Now that I have uploaded a video successfully, hopefully I can capture some more "cleaner" ones and share them with you.

THEN AND NOW (HALLOWEEN)

I am trying to keep up with my THEN AND NOW pictures. So here is the Halloween version!

We had such a great Halloween and we hope you did too! My Little Bo Peep and my Littlest Sheep looked so cute all dressed up.

We started the weekend off great! Nana came to visit on Thursday night. She got to the housearound 7:30 or so and Reese just did not feel like she had enough time with her before going to bed. She was really worried that she would not still be here when she woke up so she kept asking if Nana was sleeping on the couch. Just to make sure that she was still around, Reese woke up in the middle of the night calling out to Nana. Friday, Daddy came home early and we carved our pumpkin together. Reese does not like getting her hands dirty so she took one look inside that pumpkin and then would not go near it. We decided to get into our costumes and take some pictures and then it was off to a friends house to trick or treat. The first house we went to Reese was scared, but with the power of candy, she started doing great! Towards the end of the night she got tired and wanted to ride with Pa-Pa. He gladly took her door to door for some more candy. When we got home and after bath time, it was time to go through all the candy!
We had a great weekend!

Sshhhhh!

I have been trying to get Reese to keep her voice down a little when Remme is sleeping. She likes to go up to her and yell right in her face. HI REMME!!! So today, I was on the phone while Remme was asleep in her swing and Reese came up to me with a big SSSHHHHHHH!!! It's so funny because she puts her finger all the way up on her nose. I guess I need to learn to be a little quieter.

Yesterday I brought the Bumbo seat out to take pictures of Remme in her costume and now I am finding Reese all over the house with it. She is playing with her babies in it....

I went into Remme's room to change Remme's diaper and when I turned around this is what I saw....

Then, I was "working" in the office and it was all a little too quiet for my liking, so I went to look for Reese....

She had gotten the seat as close to the bookshelf as she could. She fills my life with so much joy and laughter. Never a dull moment....
