Silly and Sweet!

It's so fun to see the may sides of your children's personalities develop as they grow, not to mention all the many faces, voices, and funny things they do! Everyday my little comedians make me laugh and do something that warms my heart. Yesterday, Emery was trying to pull herself up using the window seal and Addy went over to join her, only to stand up and give her a kiss on the head. What a sweetheart!

If there be any doubt....

I know we live in Texas, but we're Sooners through and through! If there was any doubt as to who we're rooting for, let these pictures say it all. Emery's trying to say "OU's Number 1!" Can you believe we even got flack for wearing our OU gear and we're even asked by someone to head back to the Red River!

I love you!

After church today, Addy was saying and signing her ABC's. She was watching her little hands form the letters while she was saying...."A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, LOVE, YOU..." and then she continued on with some random letters. It was really cute!

Happy Birthday Andy!

Dear Daddy,

We hope today is as wonderful as you are. You are the best Daddy in the whole world! We love how much you play with us and give us lots of hugs and kisses.

Love,
Addy and Emery

(I love how Emery smiles really big in this picture.)

Perhaps the best gift today, was the 76 degree weather that allowed us to get out and go to the park and play. It was even followed by a little bit of rain, which the girls really loved. Happy Birthday Andy--you're the best!!

Neglect

I can't believe it's been 4 months since our last post--what neglect!! Since then, we have moved to Denton Texas so that Andy can go to school at the University of North Texas. We really love it here so far, although we would love it more if we could get some cooler temperatures so we could visit the local parks everyday! Because there are some days we are stuck inside due to the crazy heat, we go downstairs to the garage and play. It's a nice change in scenery and there's plenty of room to run around and blow bubbles.

Speaking of neglect, check out this video below. While I was making dinner, Emery was making a fuss. I went over and checked on her and she seemed fine, just fussing. I went back to cooking dinner and she kept fussing, so I thought I'd check on her again and realized that her diaper velcro had gotten stuck on the carpet and she couldn't move.

The Comedians

Emery was getting such a kick out of Addy last night! It's fun to see how the girls are starting to really enjoy playing with each other. Emery thinks that Addy is especially funny no matter what she does.

(Notice Andy's shirt....North Texas here we come!)

Future "Minute to Win It" Contestant

Andy excitedly comes and gets me to see something that he says I will love. I wasn't expecting to see this, but I was pleasantly surprised! He did it in a minute, all while waiting for his toast. I was extremely impressed and took it a step further the next day, on April 1, and told him that I had entered him in the "Minute to Win It" game show. I could tell from his reaction that he was trying to be excited about it, because he could see how excited I was. I told him that they would be calling us in the next day to tell us if he had made it on the show. I let him agonize over the thought for about 5 minutes until I told him "April Fools!" Boy, was he ever relieved! Andy is busy preparing for his orals, composing pieces and getting ready for doctorate school and it appears that "Minute to Win It" was not high on his priority list. :-) Perhaps for the Poyner Family Ghetto Olympics we could adopt some of these games. Poyner's get ready and start training....here comes Andy and his mad skills!!
