Caught in the act...


I caught 2 little girls streaking in the front yard this morning. It was so cute I had to take some pictures!


They did start out wearing something, but I guess that wasn't fun enough

And we played dress-up again today...


Now I am hoping that 2 tired little girls will go to bed early!

9-3-10


Today was more eventful than the past few days this week. I didn't get as much done as I wanted, but we actually left the house :)

Anyone that knows Kate knows all about this picture. Let's just say this is her at the table having breakfast...

And this is Liv at the breakfast table. She's very happy that Grandpa is sharing his magnifying glass with her. She is such a little scientist.
Then, we got ready to go to the library. This is Kate all ready to go. For some reason this is how she poses for pictures and she always says "cheese!"
This is Liv all ready to go. First she said she wanted to look like Pocahontas, than it changed to Rapunzel. Everyday she tells me who she wants to look like, and some days the hairstyles are a little difficult to recreate haha!
Here is a side view of how long her hair really is. She is definitely in need of a trim. That bottomlayer is so much longer than the rest of her hair, and it's starting to get tangled easy...
Here is a behind view. Too bad all the effort it takes to straighten it only lasts a few hours. As soon as she sweats, the curls are back!
They also had to put on lip gloss. They fight over the lip-glosses constantly. Kate loves them, and now she can pull the cap on & off. Liv gets upset when Kate sneaks a taste. I can't really blame her haha!
We let Biscuit come inside to eat & drink. The girls follow him around like his shadow & are always bossing him around. I caught Liv laying here while Biscuit was eating. She was saying "Biscuit, chew with your mouth closed!" It really made me laugh...
We also made m&m cookies. Liv was my big helper. She purposefully opened her eyes for the picture...haha! You can also see Kate in the background following Biscuit...
Tasting...
They loved them!
I took this while Kate was talking to daddy. She did have it on her shoulder holding it to her ear, but I didn't catch a picture. Her favorite part of the day is talking to daddy, even if no one can understand what she is saying (check out her shoes too-they are both Liv's)
Liv's hair half-way through the day. It totally reminded me of little Joe Dirt with his mullet haha! Poor girl. She has all of these little hairs growing in around her face that of course are curly and there's only so much I can do with them until they grow longer.
Liv was really tired (Kate has been yelling & waking everyone up early). When she back-talks she has to go to her room. So, off to her room she went, raising a ruckus. When I went to check on her, this is what I found....(apparently she was hot & took off her pants? I just had to find a good angle to take a picture :)
And here is Kate sleeping. Sweet little thing SOAKED her pillow by the time she woke up!
But, she woke up happy (Liv did not)
Kate & I went out to get Biscuit and Grandpa turned on the sprinklers. As soon as he was free she started playing in the water. I ran inside to get the camera.
She loved it, and she was entirely soaked before too long.
Liv asked if she could play too. She was more apprehensive about getting all wet, and I think the only reason she did it was because I was taking pictures. (she is a model in the making :/ )
Here they are splashing together...
Then, the clothes came off. Kate had a diaper on, but she got tired of it and brought it to me. Good thing she's so cute. The neighbors might not have minded that they had a streaker outside haha!
After they got all wet (and covered in grass) we went in for baths. Apparently the videos load wherever they want....so one is of bath time and the other is them playing in the yard. The girls have been calling each other "guppies" from the little mermaid. So, I had to get a video of their current "argument" over it :)

9-2-10

This is little Kate's scratch on her cheek. A big closet organizer hanger (it has a mesh bag attached so you can put stuff in it & hang it in your closet) was sitting on the bed. Kate went to climb up the bed and she pulled it down. The sharp part of the hanger happened to scratch her cheek. By the way, she can now climb up & down our tall bed by herself & she's proud of it! I have always called her my little mountain climber.
Uncle Parky got out the girls' dress up trunk and they sure had fun with it. They made a huge mess too. Kate's favorite thing was the shoes (she LOVES shoes) I love how you can see Liv washing her tea party dishes in the sink by herself. Liv has sure been a good helper to me lately.
This is the outfit Liv wanted to show daddy. She went through quite a few though, I just didn't have my camera out yet. She even tried to talk Parker into changing into his "prince clothes" so they could get married.
Bath time, the girls love bath time together!
It made me laugh after their baths they put on their jammies, and then their princess shoes.
I have discovered that Kate loves purple. She loves these purple shoes the most, and she almost always chooses purple crayons to color with. She is still a girly-girl just like her sister.
It took me a while to get Kate to sit still so I could take a picture of her shoes. I love how they are always huge for little girls. But Kate chooses to have her toes hang out the front as well so they look even bigger.

And that's what we did at home all day yesterday...

Playing Catch Up


So, Life is a little more than crazy right now. We are finally back from Oregon. Tyler drove us all back just in time to register his car & head out to San Jose, CA to work for the month of September. I'm staying in Overton to try and prepare for this baby. Then Tyler will join us in October and he has to start his new job on November 1st in Kansas City. So, right after this baby is born we will take pictures, bless him, pack up a moving van and drive 18 hours to Kansas City with our 3 kids. It's going to be madness!!! But, we know the Lord has answered our prayers and it will all be worth it when we are settled. Alivia is most excited that Daddy is going to teach her to build a snowman! Kate will be happy to have her own space to sort through. All in all, everyone will be happy! So, that's the semi-update on us. For this month I'm going to post everything for Tyler to see, so get used to some boring posts with lots of pictures....
