First Tooth!

Avery cut her first tooth today! Woo hoo!

Progress

Avery pulled herself standing today!...even with her splinted leg. Nothing can stop her!

Someone is getting into my ribbon!

Miss Avery in good spirits, even with a broken leg.

Sisters forever

Happy 9 months to Avery!

Avery's new toy. Cost me a whopping $.25.

Quote of the Day

Chase: "Jesus is invisible in the dark, huh mama, and in the day he's white...but only on our planet."

Someone sure loves his little sister!

Piano Recital

Hailey had her first piano recital tonight. She was nervous, but did SO well. I love this first video because she realized that she was in the wrong position, changed where her hands were, then started over. Calm, cool, collected. Great job Hailey!

Salon Time!

This is what happens when Chase goes with me to get my hair done.

Check out this hooded towel I made last night!

Love it when they tucker themselves out while playing!

Bath Time

Chase: Mom, I found something in the bath.

Me: Oh yeah?

Chase: Yeah, it's a booger. I'm trying to catch it.

Me: Uh...Ok, let me know when you get it.

Chase: I can't it just splitted up.

Me: It split up?

Chase: Yes. I can't find the big one.

Me: Ok, then just finish up and get out.

Chase: And let it go down the drain? Won't the water come back up?

Me: No, Chase. It will just go down.

Chase: So only toilets it does that?

Me: Uh, yes Chase.

Chase: Ok. Can you come drain the water for me?

Me: (Ewww!) Uh, no, you can pull the plug.

7 months old today!

Respect

Sometimes it takes someone else to make me realize how special my own kids are, and how well behaved they are. (most of the time) I was at the orthodontist with Rion listening to a conversation next to us. The daughter was very rude to her mother, saying how she didn't want to wear her rubber bands to help her braces do what they needed to do. When the mother replied, "But if you don't wear them, then you'll have to have the wire," the daughter did a high pitched, "I don't WANT to wear the wire." I looked at Rion and his easy going nature and just smiled. I really do have good kids who are mostly agreeable. I'm so grateful for that and for the respect that they have for us as parents.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!
