grace

Saturday night, we got a treat at DQ.  Brooke got Gracie this chocolate dipped cone and she LOVED it.  

And today as i walked thru the kitchen, this is what i found.  Grace in her play stroller, starring out the window with her scooby ball.  she loves scooby.

oh how we love this little girl!

dress up

Today Grace wanted to dress up a bit and Jake wanted to be in the picture with her.

Then, they wanted to put on the new t-shirts we made this week.  They both LOVE the last 10 minutes of Ghostbusters.  They re-inact the whole thing and the marshmallow man is their favorite.  We have seen some Ghostbuster shirts in the store, but never in small enough sizes.  So, I bought some t's at Walmart, made an iron on of their choice and presto...new favorite shirts!

Here is Gracies Marshmallow Man impression

and his slimer

I don't know what this is.

Then Wrestle Mania began...

and Gracie wins!!

I think....

she might need braces...

slacker

One month...really!?!  I don't know why i have been in a blogging rut, but i have.  So, here are a few pictures of the kiddos for those of you (i won't name names....BRANDI) who have voiced your displeasure at the lack of recent pictures.

pardon the poorly matched boots.  This girl is opinionated about her footwear.  She knows what she wants to wear and there is no changing her mind about it.  I can put shoes on her as we are getting ready to leave the house and she will go find the shoes that SHE wants to wear and put them on instead.

Jake is sick and I think Gracie is getting sick too.  Poor kids.

up to no good

Last week, we received some packages in the mail.  One of them was from Aunt Brandi...and she LOVES using packing peanuts in all her packages.  Not only do the kids love what she sent them for Christmas, but they had a ball playing in the boxes and with the packing peanuts.  It didn't take long to get tracked all thru the house.  When Brooke got home from work, he pulled out the shop vac and had it all cleaned up in no time....what a guy!

Out next surprise came Christmas Eve when we woke up to snow on the ground.  The kids had a great time playing in it.  Little bits have stuck around until now, and then today it decided to snow some more. I think it is our 5th or 6th snow fall this winter.  

Grace had fun eating the snow...just the white stuff though, no yellow for her!

We enjoyed our Christmas and hope you did too!

too cute and too much sugar

Here are the kiddos on Sunday before church.

I think they may need to focus more on their brushing habits...

Go Fish

This week Jake has been totally into playing Go Fish.  He is getting pretty good too.  Here he is in action.
