Family Campout

We took the family up past Lowman, ID to go camping. Its about two hours from Boise, even though it is only about seventy miles. The road is very windy, but it is a very pretty drive. When we arrived at the camp site we discovered that we had the entire campground to our selves. The girls though that they were in heaven, they starting squeeling the second we took them out of their car seats and put them on the ground. They immediately began exploring, some times investigating a little too much into things they shouldn't. Every sound and sight was the coolest thing ever. We took them climbing and let them explore the river a little. They only wanted to be so close, however, when they felt how cold it was. They got a big kick out of the fox that strolled into our site a couple of times looking for food. Megan has discovered her new favorite food - smores. She has alot of fun helping mommy and daddy roast the marshmallows. It got a little wet when it rained all night, but we stayed mostly dry. In all, it was a very fun family vacation.

Family Camping Trip

Exploring

So we had our big ultrasound and we are having another girl. Here are her pics. She looks a lot like Emily's ultrasound pics. Little Cutie.

For all who don't know I am potty training Megan right now. (pant, pant) We had a potty party to celebrate the whole thing. We had some friends over. This is everyone doing the the potty dance. Meg is the life of the party! (P.S. any advice is welcome!)

I love these videos. I came in the room and Ken, Emily, and Megan were just singing their hearts out. (Ken's such a good Daddy). Meg is singing her ABC's and Emily is trying with all her little strength to do it too. I love how she tries so hard to pronounce the letters. Look at Emily's little face. LOL. So cute! Not to mention Go Megan!

Emily has been learning to talk a little bit. Here is her cute little "hi".

Ken says that Emily will ask me what I was thinking when she sees these photos when she is older. I think her hair is darling! Besides, she has little hair so I will use what she gots. Ken says she looks like Alfalfa with a bow. :0

This is Emily's cute little I'm very intense smile. I love it!

These are just brag pics of how cute my girls are.

I was shocked at how much Meg looks like my mom when she was a little girl in this picture.

On this day I was shocked at how quiet and good Megan was being in her room during naptime. Megan sleeps with the door closed. Somehow this day she got a hold of a box of markers. "Pretty", says Megan when I come into her room. This is what I saw.

I'm thinking yeah this is pretty bad she colored all over her and Emily's cribs. The dresser, various toys, the window sill and... (P.S. Crayola markers are NOT really "washable"!)

When I lifted her shirt out of the way to change her diaper this is what I found...

They're just so cute you can't be mad!

Kisses

Emily plays the piano and than claps for herself. Lol... Too Cute.

Merry Christmas From Megan

Story Time:

The other day we watched Frosty the Snowman. In the show Frosty comes to life because of a magic hat. All throughout the movie the evil magician is trying to get the hat back... Very tramatic... Any way Megan was very excited when we put the hat on her snowman. But Daddy noticed the snowman was wilting :(. So he took the hat off and brought it inside and put it in the laundry basket. Later on... I was in the kitchen and I hear Megan in a panick... Oh NO!!! Help Mommy Help. Help... So she runs in the the kitchen to the back door. She had the hat in her hand. I say, "what is it Megan". She says, "oh no the snowman dkjfjkjdfs head jdkjsf;j hat. Help! It was so cute she started working on the back door. Needless to say the snowman will have that hat until it is completely gone... LOL...
