Do you see what I see?

It's so much fun to live with a two year old who sees the world through very creative eyes! Just yesterday I tore off a piece of cheese, handed it to Addy and she said "Temple!" (Forgive the photography, but I tried to have her hold the cheesy temple long enough for a picture, but I could tell she was more interested in eating it than having a Kodak moment, so this is what we got.)

Do you see what I see? Yes, that's right! Addy saw a snowman on the wall!

And here, she saw the letter "M!"

Can you guess what she saw here?

"PIZZA!!!!!"

Addy, thanks for making our lives so much fun!

Happy First Birthday Emery!

We can't believe we've had our sweet Emery Claire for one year! We're so grateful to have her--she makes us all so happy!

I love the cute differences of personality between our girls. While Addy covered her eyes when it was time to blow-out her birthday candle, Emery was ready to put it out with her bare fingers! She dove right into her cake and enjoyed making a little mess!!

Finger-lickin' good!

Happy Halloween!

Everyone had a blast on Halloween! Our ward had the Halloween Trunk-or-Treat at a members vet clinic. My sister and I commented on how surprisingly fresh it smelled inside, not like animals had been there. It was a really fun venue for the kids to go around and do carnival-type games. Andy helped at the Elders Quorum booth and enjoyed showing off his Iron Man costume that he's been talking about for the last year. He was so excited to finally pull it off! Our cousins, Sarah and Jeffrey (the Hippies!) came with us too! It was so much fun to have them!

Addy really enjoyed their Hippie necklaces after Halloween was said and done!

Cute Hippie!!

Addy dressed up as a Care Bear! Although, I'm not sure what she thought about the whole Halloween thing, but she loved the candy!

Emery and I went on a cupcake-walk and won!!!! Emery really loved the frosting!

Emery was a poodle for Halloween and I loved getting a shot of her tongue sticking out!

Emery enjoyed the beads as well.

Cool As A Cucumber!

We visited the doctor's office this morning so Emery could get her second dose of the flu vaccine. The office is only a block away, so we walked over enjoying the cool weather and everyone was all smiles. I thought Addy might remember the office and want to leave, as she got "poked" at her last visit, but she was happy as ever playing in the waiting room, that is until the nurse made her appearance. Addy started crying urgently "Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye!" I tried to explain that we were here just for Emery and that calmed her down a little bit.

We got into the room and I could tell that Addy was nervous, while Emery was cool as a cucumber, although I didn't think that would last long. The nurse poked Emery and she barely flinched and tensed her leg, BUT THAT WAS IT. I couldn't believe how calm Emery was! No tears at all--how ironic! It must be opposite day!

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!
