Happy V-day!

We had a nice Valentines Day. The kids woke up and we let them open their Valentines gifts. Blair got a dolly she always tries to grab at Wal mart and some letter fridge magnents. Lukas got a Mickey Mouse memory game and a Transformers kite. We later enjoyed home made donuts with pink frosting and sprinkles. Okay so they were semi home made! HA HA. I made them with biscuit dough that you can buy packaged in the tubes. They still tasted yummy and Lukas had fun helping make them.

I had a hard time getting a good picture of Blair opening her gift. She is such a mover. Of course she wouldn't hold still for me to snap a picture of her holding her gift either.

Lukas had fun playing this game with daddy today!

Looking cute in her Valentines heart dress!

She can melt my heart with her big blues. Watch out boys I am sure she will do the same to you when she is older!


I guess she didn't like her picture taken with Lukas.

Lukas told me he didn't want me to take his picture and I had to bribe him to do so. If he let me take his picture he could play computer games. Oh how this boy loves computer games and Wii time.
Lukas had so much fun helping me decorate a few weeks ago for Valentines Day.
I sure do love my little family. I am so grateful for them.

Outside

My kids have been loving the nicer weather. Frankly, so have I. They love playing outside. Especially Blair. I think Blair would play outside all day if we could. She never cries (except for the occasional fall) when we are out side enjoying the air.

Blair loves to push around the Fisher Price lawn mower. She also loves to kick and throw the ball.
Lukas likes to ride his trike. He is getting big for it though. This will be the last year he will use it then we will pass it on down to Blair.
Blair is getting really great at pointing at things she wants or likes.

Lukas also loves to ride his scooter that he got for Christmas.
Blair got her first big outside owie two days ago playing. She fell smack head first onto the concrete (she refuses to walk or play on the grass she hates it!). She got a big old scrape and bump on her forhead. She stopped crying the minute I gave her a chocolate chip cookie though. I don't blame her they were yummy! Later though I notice she had hit her nose too because she had a big red spot for two days there. I am sure that there will be plenty more outside owies to come. Especially because we have to put her in huge shoes since we are having a hard time finding hard sole shoes in her size. So right now she is wearing a size bigger then she actually wears. This doesn't help in the falling department.

L-O-V-E

My kids truly are such great friends and love each others company. Lukas loves Blair and always wants her to play with him. Blair giggles the most at Lukas out of everyone in our family. Even if they fight a lot I love moments like this.


Blair even loves Lukas when he is picking his nose! Now that is true love!

11 Months

Blair is now 11 months old. I can't believe in 28 short days she will be the big 1. It makes me a little sad. However, she is so so cute and is so much fun and we are really enjoying her. She had a rough month of ear infections and being sick. We are pretty sure though she is on the mend and we constantly pray that she doesn't get anymore ear infections. She cut her first tooth this month and will be cutting a few more any day now. She has moved on from baby food to eating big girl foods. She loves mac and cheese, cheese and crackers, and pretty much whatever else you will give her. She is also officially off the bottle and only drinks milk and juice out of her sippy cup. She can say daddy, no, and out. She loves Lukas and giggles so much at him. Her favorite thing to do is play upstairs with all her toys. She could seriously play up there all day. She is my little climber and surprises me on a daily basis how high she can climb. This little girl loves to be outside. Even if it is just a walk from the car to inside a store she is all smiles and giggles. Yesterday was our first play outside for hours day and she didn't want to come in. She ran all over and played so much. She didn't like the grass much though. If she fell on the grass she would cry. We love the joy this little girl brings into our lives.
Cute smile!

She loves to play with her zebra print Sunglasses.

This is Lukas's old hat from his ninja costume. She likes to put it on. She looks hilarous in it!
She likes to play in these drawers and take everything out. The other day I walked over and she was actually in the drawer playing. We took a quick picture and put a stop to it.

She absolutely LOVES Lukas's super cape. She brings it too us all the time and asks us to put it on her. She looks so funny and little in it. I think we need to get her, her own princess cape.

I bet you didn't know!

I bet you didn't know that backwards underwear is the new fad! Well, Lukas did. HA HA. He ALWAYS puts his underwear on backwards. I try to get him to change it to the correct way and he tells me no. He says he likes it that way. More power to him I guess. He also pretty much insists on wearing white underwear. Every once in a while he switches it up with a little color.

Tonka truck rides

Today my kids discovered they could give each other rides in the big tonka truck. It was so cute watching them push each other around in it. I was surprised at how well Lukas shared and took turns. He enjoyed giving Blair rides as much as her pushing him. I was also surprised that Blair could actually push Lukas in it. She pushed him across the whole room. I seriously LOVE that Blair is old enough to play with Lukas now. I love that they play with each other. I really hope that they will always be close friends.


She looks so tiny pushing him.
Blair is the perfect fit.

Tuckered out

This little girl must be SO tuckered out! This is becoming a trend lately. I assume it is because she hasn't been feeling well which = not sleeping well. She has woken several times in the night the past three nights. I either have to hold her or lay right next to her. However, tonight she went down without a peep and has been a sleep for a while. I am hoping this means she is on the mend.


She LOVES to eat so she must have been tired to fall a sleep during dinner time.

She loves to play with the measuring cup and eat puffs. She puts them in and pours them out while occasionally munching on a few. She fell a sleep mid pour I think.
