Katelin's New Look!

So, I have been wanting to get Katelin's hair permed for a while- and I was going to wait until the beginning of next school year- however, it got the best of me! After talking with our "hair-doer", Amy, I got the courage to do it myself.

So 3 hours and 81 perm-rods later this is what we got!

Spending time being silly!!!

Life has sort of takin on a much needed steady beat over the past week. We've been able to spend a little extra time takin life in, and appreciating our silly-hearted little girls! Who couldn't love these little "free-spirits"?

Happy 5th Birthday Katelin!!!

Can you believe it?? My Katy-bug is 5 years old! Wow!!

She insisted on having a clown party- because "clowns are silly, and I am silly, Mom!!"

My little reader!

The other night Nathaniel and I kept walking by Alecia's door and she was in bed reading to herself. So, I got Nathaniel to sneek in and video this little clip! It gets a little long, but it is totally cute!!

Happy Valentines!!!

It all started when I got home from school on Friday the 13th, the day before Valentines! Nathaniel was on his way to the Klondike with the scouts, so it was me and the kids. However, I was totally surprised to find this beautiful bouquet of tulips waiting for me on the table when I arrived!!

Then later that night before Valentines Day, we had David and Emma over to make Valentine cookies! They were so creative! Even Alecia wanted to get in on the action!

While the cookies were baking, naked cozy put on her imagination hat, Emma's boots, and was even carrying around a purse at one point! It was kind of cute to watch this naked butt in black boots!!

On Valentines morning, we had heart shaped-pancakes with Strawberry syrup!! Mmmmm good!

After Nathaniel got home from scouting, we let the girls open their Valentine gifts:

Next was Nathaniel:

It has been a great Valentines!

Yes! Katelin shows Nurturing Skills!!

Ever since Katelin was small, she hasn't really spent a whole lot of time nurturing her little dolls, and playing house. She'll play dress up and dance- but never really play's house. So I have worried, even when we brought Cozy home from the hospital, Katelin didn't seem interested. However, today, Katelin took over and decided she was going to help Alecia become Potty Trained! So here she is!!! I was so relieved!

Katelin's First "Fancy Nancy" Birthday Party!

This is Katelin all ready for her first Fancy Nancy birthday party! If you don't know Fancy Nancy books- you are missing out! They are so cute- everything is Fancy in little Nancy's world!

So, Brittney, who is in my Kindergarten class, had a Fancy Nancy party and invited Katelin!!
