playdate


It has been awhile since updating,I have gone back to work so I am trying to find the time to get anything done these days. I will be playing catch up with some of these pics.
Becky came over for a late xmas celebration with the kids a few weeks ago and I got a chance to take a few pictures of the kids playing. Mia loves to read books and she was so cute reading to Erica and then her little brother Cole in the princess bed/couch.

Cole, look at his cute smile!

First Haircut

So Erica was not in dire need of a haircut but I could not stand the hair that was hanging in her face, it was all uneven and when I tried to put it up she always had hair still hanging in her face....so I finally did it-- we took her to kidsnips and cut her hair- she got a certificate and we kept some mini bags of hair of course for the scrapbook>.. She did really well,she got to pick out a movie so she watched shrek while she got her trim. Here are a few snaps of her.

Get her hair blown dry


After..SO Cute

xmas 2008

Well there is much to update since the last time I did though it was only about one week ago- but it was the holidays which means many pics!- which to choose! Well to start Aaron is loving his hands right now he has found them and sucks on them and licks his fingers a lot! He is starting to blow bubbles and drool more now too. Erica is talking more and more- she trys to mimic what we say - though on her terms only! She talks when she wants to she does not perform....
The week of xmas of course I got strep throat which put a damper on things because I was having my family over on xmas eve---I got my antibiotics and tried to deal with my sickness as well as possible- I think though it made me a little crabby though trying to do everything and feel like crap at the same time- I have to learn that things will not be perfect and to accept it and move on. Below are going to be pics from me and Erica baking cookies- the up and coming betty crocker, xmas eve, and xmas day!

Here is Erica helping mix the cookie dough
She is so proud of herself

Look at all those presents...are they all for ME?
