*Goes up the stairs perfectly, going down...we are still working on that one!

*She can get off the bed.

*LOVES baths

*Her favorite playmate right now is my parents dog, Daisy! 

*She jumps on the tramp!

*She tries to do a forward roll! (Puts her head on the bed and insists you push her over!)

*She is the best sleeper I know! (12 hours at night!)

*Obsessed with Babies right now. And pushing her baby stroller.

Harper's 1st Birthday Party!

*Gage had so much fun playing and eating treats all night!

We really enjoyed having the people we love around us for Harper's Special Day!

She got lots of babies...like enough to have a small daycare at my house!  And she loves each one!

She also got lots of clothes, that she of course LOVED! haha 

Harper (and Gage) got an awesome table with stools!  That Harper thinks she is Big Stuff when she gets up on the stools by her self!  

But her favorite I think are the My Little Ponies that talk.  She thinks those are AWESOME!

Happy Birthday Party Day Sweet Jo Jo!!!

We Sure Love you to pieces!!!!

XOXO

Catch Up...Again

Ok, No more apologies, or promises to be a better blogger!  

Because it just won;t happen right now.  But I am trying!

So here is an update in pictures!

Big Smile!!!

Just because I love this picture!

Harper has 4 top teeth now!  So crazy!  She is getting more brave everyday with the attempting to walk.  She is still timid with it.  But it will be soon. 

Gage is still obsessed with baseball!  And is VERY in to writing right now.  

I think he writes about 100 G's everyday.

My favorite thing he says is, "Mom, looks at my G's's." and it comes out "Mom, Look at my JESUS!" it is so cute and so funny I just love all the changes in both of them right now!

Life is hectic and very fun!

And I so enjoy spending everyday with my crazy kids!!!

Christmas 2011

I am so behind on my blogging...and so I am going to slowly try to catch up!

Christmas was so exciting this year!!! 

We were able to spend time with both of our families, and Brett's sister LaNette and our niece Anna came from Oklahoma for Christmas!  It was so much fun to have them here!

My parents got a new puppy right before Christmas, her name is Daisy, and I am pretty sure she and Harper will be Best Friends forever!  She is so dang cute!  (Pictures of her to come!)

We are so lucky that Brett's parents and neighbors "Know" Santa really, really, really well! And we get to have a little meeting with him, and the kids get to talk to him and take pictures every year!!! It is so nice to NOT go to the stinkin' mall!  We did that on Christmas Eve, and Tyf came with her kids too!  It was so fun!

We went to church, the music was amazing!!! And I just love listening to the message about Christmas...I think its really easy to get caught up in all the "Excitement" and forget why we celebrate!  

Christmas Eve was spent at Brett's parents house.  It was CrAzY with the kids, but it was so fun to be around family!

My parents and Austin stayed at our house Christmas Eve, and were here with us Christmas morning!

That was so fun!

Gage and Harper got a Trampoline from Santa!!!!!

Harper got a singing, rocking giraffe!!!!!!!

Gage got an Airport-Train Set!

They both are still in love with all their new things...so that means Christmas was successful! haha

We made gingerbread houses with some cousins!
