My Baby Girls!

Dark Eyed Lauren BRAND-NEW!

 She STILL loves to find sticks and carry them around.

 I was trying to find more toddler age pictures of Lauren, and I just don't seem to have very many. Then I found the above picture and it all came flooding back to me. I think I deleted a lot of pictures. She was never one to put on a fake smile for the camera and it was hard to get a good one.

 

 Baby Ellie

 She started cooking for the family, very early. :)

 One of Ellie's favorite things to do when she was small is tickle my feet. I was constantly forgetting and would absentmindedly hang my feet off the bed every few minutes and she would sneak over and tickle tickle. :)

 Back to Lauren

 Me?

 Very typical Lauren expression.  She's made this face at me since she was a baby. :)

Lauren was very concerned before Emma was born that she wouldn't be my baby anymore. I told her she would ALWAYS be my baby. She really liked that. It helped with the transition. She would tell everyone, My mom has TWO babies, Me and Emma.

 All grown up!

Emma has started potty training, we are very proud of her. I tell her what a big girl she is getting to be, and she just BEAMS! You can see it.

(Sorry I currently have no way of editing or cropping pictures.)

 Caught in the act! Stealing Ellie's Valentine's chocolates. Emma has ALL sweet teeth.

 

 

 

I am very curious as to whether we will be adding another girl or boy to our family this summer. I don't need to tell you what James is hoping for.  :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dec-Jan catch up.

Soooo

I've decided that I will never catch up on the events I missed on this blog, but I will include some photos

Since Christmas I have been super sick, and just this past week(now the middle of February) I am beginning to feel somewhat better. So sorry, Lauren. I love you more than anything, but you won't get a birthday post, I also missed Christmas and Barry's birthday, and our Valentine's Party.

Hopefully, I'll do better next year, but the next couple of posts will be the last few months in review. In random order. :) These are from my blurry phone.

The kids didn't put much effort into their Valentine's boxes this year. We had a fun party though and lots of candy. I got Barry a 3.5 pound bag of peanut M'M's for V-day. He's all for expensive chocolates. ;) He wrote me a sweet note and bought me ice cream and a new warm hat.

 Every year we go to Agri-Action. A big Agricultural Business even put on a CSI. We get lots of free stuff there. Each of us picked out a free little cow for Emmie. (She has 5) She loves them!

 Oh Baby! 11 weeks 1 day! Here's the little tike making me soo very sick!

 Poor Lauren had to have a root canal. She was amazingly good though. The dentist said she was the best dental patient EVER!

 Christmas Books.

 I couldn't resist taking this pic of James getting his hair cut. He has the cutest little face.

 Rob and Jenn's family came up and celebrated New Years with us. They brought all this food!!! It was amazing and delicious. Unfortunately this was the only picture I got of the whole time. I was beginning to feel very very sick.

 Lauren's birthday present from her primary teacher. She was so happy!

 The kid's went swimming in Brigham for Lauren's birthday. They had tons of fun.

 Lauren blowing out the candle on Natalie's birthday pie. We sent her a picture. :)

 Lauren's friend's from primary.

Family Game night.
