Happy 27th Birthday

Alton's birthday was last week. I baked him a 5 layer chocolate cake. It was pretty yummy if I do say so myself. I used a cake mix and doctored it up using a modified version of this recipe:http://www.ourbestbites.com/2010/05/easy-white-cake.html.

Here are a couple of pictures of the girls. I worked on the cake during Adysen's nap. She was so excited to see it when she woke up. She said "Pretty happy birthday cake!" I love her compliments!!

Mischievous...

This morning while I was eating breakfast with Adysen I turned around and saw this...

Okay, this isn't really what I saw. I couldn't get the camera fast enough. So, I got the camera ready and went back to my breakfast.

A minute later she was at it again; this time I was ready!

Do you see what she is doing?! How old is she again?! 6 1/2 months!

Watch her legs in the next few pictures:

Yay! Puzzles!! Just what I was looking for!

Needless to say, I definitely have my hands full keeping up with these little girls. Kaitlynn's been crawling for over a month and is all over the place. And now this little mischief. Yikes! And Adysen is trying to do the dishes by herself as I type. Better run!

Oh, and maybe one of these days I'll get around to posting the December and January pictures.

January 2011

Kaitlynn is getting so big and crawling all around. She really loves Adysen's toys whenever she can get them.

This is Adysen's grouchy face...while I was taking the picture she said 'Teasing Daddy' and kept laughing hysterically! Lets just say you don't want to see her smiley face. Maybe it is a little rebellion coming out, or maybe I didn't get the memo that today is opposite day.

Thanksgiving - Trip to Washington

For Thanksgiving we flew to Washington to spend a few days with the Alexanders. We enjoyed flying and it was so nice not to be driving through the storms.

Adysen had lots of fun painting and drawing with her grandma.

She also helped Grandma cook and do the dishes. Here she is making gingerbread cookies and walls to make houses.

Alton helped his dad put up a wall in the garage. It was good practice for the walls he will be putting up in our basement.

We had lots of fun playing Scum. The girls enjoyed hanging out with their aunts and uncle. We enjoyed having some free arms. :)

Adysen found some flowers to pick while Daddy was raking the leaves.

Wearing my Baby K'tan carrier that I WON!! I absolutely love it! I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a baby carrier. It is so easy to use!

Yummy Broccoli--don't let her fool you...she is not really eating it!! Adysen decided during dinner that the broccoli would make a great makeup brush. So she dipped it in her water and put on her makeup...SO PRETTY!
