These pictures are rather old. Once I got my little camera I completely forgot to upload the last of my photos off the fancy one. Luckily Mark started using it for his woodworking pictures (look for attached blog coming soon- High Speed Art). I had to share these random shots because they are too stinking cute.

We often have tents in our living room, this particular day I had the camera handy. This picture has too much going on. Gweny is cracking herself up. Mark can't stop laughing and look closely that would be Hadley's tongue sticking out under the blanket :)

This peek a boo picture leads to my favorite picture of Gweny adoring her dad...

That smile right there is why we do what we do as parents.

Reading time, gotta love it. Ignore the trainwreck in the background...

Always annoyed by mommy taking pictures.

This is the day we went to festival of lights. It was so cold that day so I bundled the kiddos up, it took like an hour just to get them prepped. Hadley was okay with it but Gweny....

Not so much.

This is what happens when Hadley decides to take pictures- a rather interesting perspective, at least it's clean under my couch :)

So my kids have an obsession with the dog box. I of course posted the ones with the door open so I don't go to jail :) They get in crack up, get out, one in two in some how it's tons of fun. For some reason Gweny's face looks thick in this picture but I think it's gotta be her smile & the angle.

Like I said, in and out...

Beautiful artwork completed by Hadley.

Told you these were old. Hadley leaving cookies and milk for Santa, she even wrote him a letter.

Trying to get these two kids to pose together, you'd think I'd just give up but I'm determined...

Not so much this night.

Cuddle time right before bed- no I don't let them sleep together they stay in seperate rooms.

OH I finally got one together, looking at the camera!!!!!!!!!!!

Pals Forever

Hadley is becoming such a concerned big sister, always checking on sissy when she is upset or telling her "it's okay sissy, it's okay." I snapped this picture on my camera the other day. It was a rainey day and they were whining because they couldn't go outside and play. Hadley was trying to make her feel better...

Hadley

So lately I feel like I've been focusing on Gwenyth because she is in such an ever changing developmental stage. Lately, Hadley has been making leaps and bounds. She is exploring her abilities and pushing herself to the limits at all times. Greatest accomplishment of the past couple of weeks, being able to retrieve either pops or beers for mom and dad accordingly (she even knows grandparents respective choices). Since that makes "since-yas" obsolete we're pretty happy. She can dominate some of the preschool books we have- tracing and differences are no match for her. She continues to pick up on new vocabularly between telling us "that's an abandoned building" or saying damn it repeatedly when she rips a page (while I crack up in the background waiting on daddy to fix it). Instead of "Gweny here I come" as Hadley runs down the hallway she goes with "Sissy here my are." Not only is she full of sayings shes been pushing herself physically. Just two years ago we were crying, praying and hoping to get positive results on her neurology work up because of her low muscle tone, now she's a crazy busy toddler going a mile a minute. Swinging with the big girls, climbing, running, etc. Lately I feel like we are on the verge of an ER run everyday. Getting ready to go shopping the other day she decided to get in the van herself while climbing on a rock in the neighbors yard which resulted in smashing her head on the concrete curb while I watched saying "Hadley you're going to fa......CRACK." Blood in hair, swelling occurring and one really uncomfortable girl. Luckily I am a nurse but also more importantly I have girlfriends that are ER/pediatric nurses (VERY HANDY), and we just monitored. Here are the pictures of her wounds...

It seems like two days later she was at the sitters house and flipped into the pack in play with a limp swollen arm that didn't stop shaking and she didn't use for two days. However all seems well now?!?!?! She is one silly girl.

Oh Gweny

This girl is a character I tell you. I post the pictures yesterday and I get a picture from her sitter today. In a tiny cabinet. Gweny is one crazy cat.

Good Times at Grandma and PawPaw's

One may just think it's a fridge, but.... It would be Gweny taking down the shelves and ripping down the stickers, but she's just too cute...

It seems like it happened overnight, but Gweny has joined the big kid tabe. She made it a little crowded but everyone took her in.

Lastly, what can you say about this face? Mason is so stinking cute I can't even stand it.

I open a picture message today from Mark and it reads, "Ok wow, life is flying by way to fast how do we slow it down????" Understatement of the year. How cute is my baby Hadley which is now a talking, know it all three year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Princess on Ice

My mom wanted to take the kiddos to Disney, Princess on Ice. We of course left Gweny home but we had Hadley, Macayla, and Evan for the show which was awesome. So Jess and I definitely knew all the words and I'm pretty sure it was like our childhood repeated!!!!!!! It was actually a pretty involved show...I uploaded everything backwards so it's the finale first. How awesome is this castle with all the couples???? The final dance.

Hads couldn't get enough of Mickey and Minnie!

Tried to get Hadley to pose with Grandma, not so much...

The Seven Dwarfs, whistling while they work...

Hadley in her little gypsy dress and boots with her feet propped up just couldn't stop watching!

Aladdin and Jasmine really went on a magic carpet ride!

I honestly just thought the elephant was awesome...

That's one happy face :)

And another....

At first the kids just weren't sure. Coat still on, tired confused faces...

A long walk from the car, but how sweet do they look?

Pre show potty in the mini van hahahahahahaha....

We even started off the morning seeing my girlfriend Sarah at my parents house.

It was a long day, but definitely worth it for the kiddos. Thanks goodness Joe and Stacy took Gweny because she can't even sit still for two minutes let alone two hours.
