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. :)

Thanksgiving Day:

Kaitlynn with Great Grandpa Alexander

November

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!

Halloween

Other Random Pictures from October

Here are some random photos from October. They are in a relatively mixed up order with the newer ones first.

Best Buddies!! I am excited to watch them grow and play with each other. They are starting to be pretty funny together.

Vanilla candy coated Oreos! You can check out a tutorial for the mummies here: http://www.howdoesshe.com/halloween-cookie-suckers

Pumpkin Cupcakes!! Delicious...if I do say so myself.

I love making and decorating sugar cookies. Although I think the ice cream cones are still my favorites. Lucky for my waist we made plates for neighbors when I made the pumpkins.

More and More Ice Cream!

One day, Adysen went to the pantry and pulled out a box of mini bowties. She took them to her kitchen and started cooking them.

The girls and I went to the zoo one afternoon with some friends. It was a lot of fun to watch Adysen look at the animals and point them out herself.

You can find these two playing together in "the jungle" on a daily basis.

What do the Alexanders do in their free time? My answer...what free time?!?! We feel blessed that the business is doing so well. Although it does take up a lot of our time.Here is a sample of part of an order we had in October:

We have quite the little photographer:

I just had to include this picture, because I found about 10 of these...

pretty sure Alton or I didn't take them!

Practicing holding up 2 fingers!

Adysen loves to draw! I think she will take after her Daddy!!
