Too Cute

I just had to post some cute pics of the girls, since it's been a while.

I just love this picture. She just looks so content, sleeping next to her giraffe.

They must think they're cute too, because they are looking at themselves in the mirror!

LOL!!! These pictures are not real clear because I was laughing so hard I could hardly take them! Needless to say we had pizza for lunch that day.

Trick or Treat

We had a fun and busy week celebrating Halloween! We went to a Halloween parade last Saturday, a local Pumpkin Ranch on Monday, trick or treating on Wednesday and a Halloween party this Saturday. I think Katie had the most fun at the Pumpkin Ranch jumping on the big bouncy thing.

The whole time Katie was bouncing she kept saying "I having so much fun"! She also kept her tongue out the whole time which probably isn't a good thing to do when your bouncing.

Making an elephant noise, instead of saying cheese!

Making Bread

Katie and Grandma Johnson had fun this weekend making bread and cabbage rolls. I think Katie and Charlotte might be Mom's last hope of passing on her baking skills, as I obviously didn't inherit them.

When we were at Mom and Dad's house Katie kept asking when Albert and Linda were coming. She went out on the front step and sat down to wait for them. Mom finally called them so that they would come visit Katie. I guess she thinks that every time we are at Grandma and Grandpa's house Albert and Linda should be there too.

Say Cheese!

Charlotte likes to suck her thumb, or else she is using it as a teething toy.

My two girls!

Maryland Wrights

Sam, Becky, Warren & Wyatt were here this weekend. We had a lot of fun driving around in the mountains looking for animals. We went to Rocky Mountain National Park a couple of times to hear the elk bugle. Friday the weather was nice enough that we could drive up Trail Ridge Road and take some pictures. We even took Charlotte out of the car for a couple shots. It was so nice to have the Maryland Wrights here, Katie loved it and kept asking me where they were on Monday after they left.

The Wright Boys!

Katie took this picture of me, see the beautiful mountains!

Katie loves her Uncle Sam, and Uncle Sam loves to have his picture taken!

Poor Charlotte

Poor Charlotte, she has to be my little model all the time. Katie has decided she would rather take pictures than be in them so we take a lot of pictures of Charlotte. I need to get Katie her own camera so she doesn't keep stealing mine. I will try to post some of the pictures Katie has taken, she is getting pretty good. Every now and then she actually gets a whole face in her pictures!

Bye Bye Hair

I recently cut 10 inches of my hair off to donate to Locks of Love. I can't remember my hair ever being this short! I like it though, it is a lot easier to take care of. Thanks Heidi!

Baby Fashion

I just had to post this picture, even though Charlotte does not look too happy. These are little baby leg warmers I got for her. They are just too cute, and they keep her legs warm and make diaper changing easier since you don't have to pull them down like you would with leggings or tights. I got them off this website: http://www.mom4life.com/ it has a lot of fun, cute stuff!

Smiles and Giggles

Charlotte smiles all the time now, especially when you talk to her. Today I think she even giggled a time or two! It was so cute. Of course I video taped her and took a bunch of pictures.

Katie is getting so big and so smart! She can sing her ABCs! Of course a lot of the letters run together but to me it sounds perfect and pretty darn good for a 2 year old. She knows all her colors and can count to ten. The other day she even corrected mommy because I called a purple colored pencil blue.
This picture of Katie was taken after a little walk the other day she was eating a cupcake while we walked and somehow it ended up on her shoulder.

Look how big I am!

Charlotte

So far, knock on wood, Charlotte is a real good baby. Or maybe it's just a little easier the second time around.

She already has turned over from her belly to her back! I know you probably don't believe me, but we have it on video! She did it at 8 days! I guess she's in a hurry to get moving so that she can keep up with her big sister!

Happy Birthday!

Yesterday Katie turned 2! We had a little party for her up at Pat and Michelle's. I made her a Barbie cake and Michelle made cupcakes and let the kids decorate them. I think Katie really enjoyed her birthday party, all day today she has been playing with all her presents and singing "happy birthday to you"!

John was threatening to cut Katie's hair again so I took her to get it cut today. I think she looks so different with it cut! She did really good while the lady cut it, she just sat there and watched her. I tried to take a picture of her new haircut but she wanted to make faces at the camera instead.

Busy Weekend

This weekend was Good Ol Days and Tucker's birthday so we were very busy! We took Katie to the parade and the carnival on Saturday. She really liked the horses in the parade and wanted to ride one, so we let her ride one of the little ponies at the carnival. At first I wasn't sure if she was going to stay on the pony, but by the end of the ride she didn't want to get off.

I didn't get any pictures of Tucker at his party, I guess I will have to have Michelle make me some copies. Katie and Hannah enjoyed blowing bubbles in Pat and Michelle's new addition, while the boys played outside with Tucker's birthday presents.

Inked

I'm very thankful for washable markers! Today I was on the computer and Katie was watching her "bunny show" in the living room. The next thing I new she looked like this! I'm just thankful she found a washable marker instead of a Sharpie!

Barry!

Katie loves her cousin Barry! She gets so excited when we go to see him and she always wants to give him hugs. Barry is a little shy, and tolerates her hugs but doesn't act like he likes them.
We were up at Pat and Michelle's for Wyatt's birthday and Michelle let Barry and Katie help her make his birthday cake. Michelle has a lot of patience! They were so cute standing at the counter "helping"!

Graduation

Four of my cousins graduated over Memorial day weekend, which gave Katie the perfect opportunity to wear the pretty blue and white dress her grandma bought her.
