Our holiday weeks...

Okay, so it's been a little while since I've posted. Sorry about that. Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks to recap. We spent Christmas Day with Sharon & Larry, Shannon, Bill & Shanda, Kylie & Karena, and Grandpa & Grandma P and stayed at their house for the weekend. Taylor & Kylie had fun as usual with some finger painting, a little tea party, and fort building to name a few things.

Friday after xmas, Taylor was doctoring Hailey...

Having their own little tea party, and Taylor had to have a bandaid on her head at one point since she bumped it and was in the "doctoring" mood.

Jr & Ben were building forts outside for Taylor until it rained and ruined it all.

And Hailey was watching out the window...

Taylor started sledding in their backyard, but then we decided to go to a bigger hill.

Hailey went down once with me very, very slowly.

Taylor went down at least once with Jr, Ben and myself laughing and laughing all the way. One time Papa fell off and sent Taylor down the rest of the way herself and she thought that was pretty cool. She would've kept going all night but we were pooped from climbing up.. no tow ropes here!

My mom and dad came up for New Year's and we had a fun couple of days with them.

Then today we went back over to Mar & Jr's because Ben helped Jr move in their new washer and they went hunting.

Us girls played in the snow some more and went to the pool.

Hailey didn't really care for being so bundled up she couldn't move a muscle.

Mommy & Taylor making snow angels. Of course I didn't have any snow pants along so I was a little chilly. Then us in Taylor's "girls only fort." :) Thanks for the happy holidays everyone.

I started my at-home daycare this week and it's been great! The little boy I'm watching is 2, so he and Taylor have a lot of fun. I'm loving being home with the girls all the time, but it is all a lot of work.. don't let anyone fool ya. I didn't expect it not to be, but it's the most rewarding work that's for sure. Not only being an at-home mom, but also being a daycare provider. Hope everyone's having a great start to the new year!

I just took this picture of Hailey sitting in Taylor's little recliner, so proud of herself :) Had to add it.

Special Meeting Pictures

Here's another attempt at holiday pictures as we get ready for special meeting this morning.

I think they turned out pretty good, think I'm going to print a couple of these to send out maybe.

Another tooth!

Hailey cut another tooth yesterday morning, so now she has both bottom ones through!






I asked Taylor what she thought Hailey wanted for Christmas and she said,"She wants to be a big girl so she can play with me."

Wish this last picture wasn't so dark, but they just happened to be sitting in front of the window so of course the lighting is weird.. oh well.

Weekend

We had a fun weekend at Grandpa & Grandma's house and Megan's 4th bday party. I posted a couple pictures yesterday and you'll have to check out mom's blog to see others because I didn't really take many pictures this weekend, sorry. The girls had a great weekend, considering Hailey is teething and Taylor had a uneasy stomach. She threw up before bed last night, so hoping that was just short-lived. We'll see, she felt fine and had no temp.. was acting normal. She's still sleeping, so we'll see how today goes.

Thanks again for a fun weekend!

Hailey's first tooth!

I found Hailey's first tooth this morning, while she was chewing on my finger! Ouch! She had somewhat of a rough evening last night and half the day, but once the teething tablets kicked it she was feeling ok.

We had a fun day at Grandpa & Grandma M's. Did a little shopping this morning, and even saw Santa at Home Depot ;-) Had a fun birthday party for Megan, and now we're ready for bed. Hope you all had a good Saturday too!

A ha!

She CAN sleep in her own bed!

This week in a post

Hard to capture the snow that we got last night and today, but it's a lot. Woke up to probably 6 more inches of snow and at least a few more since then.

Here are some candid photos from this week:

Kinda dark, sorry.

Hailey just started eating those Gerber stars that melt in your mouth. This was her first time earlier this week and somewhat bitter you can tell. She really likes them though and picks them right up.



Last but not least, Happy Birthday to Megan today! 4 years old already! Here's when they came to visit me in the hospital when Taylor was born. How cute is she here? Still cute.
