Sunday Pictures

My parents asked me to take some pictures of the girls today all dressed up for church.

So here you go Mom and Dad (and everyone else)...

Lexi was in no mood to take pictures. 

And I was in on mood to take 50 pictures in hope of getting one good one. 

So you get what you get.

 

I especially love this pictures of Avery.

She just looks so happy to be hugging her big sister.

  

See what I mean? Not in the mood!

And here's me. HUGE and so READY to have this baby!!!

I'm pray this week is the week he comes.

If not, he'll be getting kicked out next week for sure!

And a few pictures of Sean and the girls after church.

Avery loves to grab Sean's nose and say, "honk."

Or Sean grab his nose and say, "I got it!" and then not let go.

We've Been Busy!

We were planning on moving at the end of next month but we have decided

to stay in our complex until the end of summer.

My plan was to make the girls roommates when we moved but I don't want to wait now so

I just decided to go for it and make the transition last week.

Before Avery was in the bigger bedroom with us.

Now Sean and I are in the smaller bedroom.

(make sense to us since we spend no time in there and have no bedroom furniture)

And the girls are in the bigger room, which is great because

all of their toys are in there with them!

I'm so excited to decorate their room!

Right now it's pretty boring...

The girls have done AMAZING as roommates.
It makes me wonder why I wanted so long.
Avery still usually wakes up once to nurse but Lexi has never been woken up by Avery's cries.

And they LOVE being in there together.

It was meant to be!

We bought this shelving system at Lowe's and now their toys are in their closet.

Which makes me VERY happy!

Here's our new room from the hall.

It's small but we LOVE it!

After nearly a year of having Avery in our room we were SOOO ready for our own space.

Now we can lay in bed and read and talk at night.

To celebrate we bought new matching lamps.

(Someday we'll get some nightstands to put them on)

And because my girls are so cute, here are some recent pictures of them...

This first one is of Lexi wearing some of Avery's clothes.

Lexi is one petite little girl.

The girls shopping at Lowe's.

(Yes, I pretty much always have my camera with me)

Avery playing in our "Ball Bin."

I can't believe this little girl is going to be 1 in less than a week!

We are going to be real busy this next week. My parents fly in today from Seattle.

Lexi and I are SOOOO excited!

Sunshine

It's been really sunny and starting to warm up. So I'm starting to get excited for spring and summer. So yesterday, I decided to dress the girls up in some summery clothes to fit my mood. And of course I had to snap a few pictures, not an easy task now that Avery is a crawling machine.

Spring and summer are going to be soooo fun with these two little girls. Can't wait!

Belles

Two and a half years ago this princess made her dramatic entrance into the world! I'll blog more about that later. Right now I just want to post some pictures for my parents. Lexi has been potty training for a week and and has been doing AMAZING! As a reward by parents bought Lexi this Belle dress. Lexi was SOOOO excited.

Notice the Belle dress up shoes and Belle Barbie. Yeah, Belle is her favorite.
But that seems fitting since she was my favorite
and Sean thought she was the prettiest of all the princesses.

The size "small" was WAY too long for Lexi. So I cut off the bottom and made a "Belle skirt."
So here are our two Belles.

And of course, Lexi has to wear the Belle skirt for a picture too.

Thanks for the dress Mom and Dad. Lexi LOVES it!

8 Month Comparison in Pictures

Here are some picture of the girls on the days they turned 8 months old.

March 6, 2009 for Lexi and today, December 28, 2010 for Avery.

Can you tell who is who?

Hint: Avery is the first one and Lexi is the second one in all the pictures.

Movie "Monday"

I wanted to start a tradition of posting video's on Monday's but Blogger was giving me so much trouble that I stopped. Well, I've decided to try it again. And I even have two video's this time. The first one, I took of Avery this morning while she was eating her Cheerio's. And the second one is from last week. We were enjoy sunny 60's weather and I had the van so I took the girls to the park. And the swings were a huge hit! Enjoy!

For Brenda

My friend Brenda suggested that the girls' picture with Santa would look good in black and white and/or sephia. What do you think?

Also, my mom's name is Brenda and I'm sure she'd like to see more pictures of my girls.
