We paint a lot at our house (when dads not around) and as you can see from the pictures, kylie is neat, just like daddy, even when she is finger painting. Then there is Ella, well, she likes to eat the paint. Good thing everything is non-toxic!

Well, Kylie is really becoming independent. Here is a little look at her independence, she loves to dress herself. This is one of the many outfits she has put together! It was ok until we got to the tights and shoes, but she is her own little person, definitly not a follower.

Well this is the 3rd week that I am watching Noah, and it is great. He is a great baby, sleeps and smiles alot!!! I also get my baby fill!!!! Isn't he SO cute!!!

We had a dr. appt. yesterday for Ella and the Doctor said she is doing great, she is average for her height, but she dropped in her weight. Then the doctor asked if she was active. Well I always thought that Kylie was an active child, but not compared to Ella. Some of these pictures are a little old, but I just wanted to see what I am dealing with in the activity level with Ella. She likes to climb, and is VERY proud of herself when she does it. Right now, she has learned to climb onto chairs, not to sit, but to stand. She also climbs and stands on the toy box and the slide. When she is at the top of these things she smiles with her cheesie smile and says "Ta Da!!!" I am just happy that I am not a very nervous parent and this is ok as long as I am about an arms length away from her. I am, however, getting really good at diving across the living room to catch her when she does fall or walk off the end of the toy box. She is a crazy girl!!!!!!!!

ok so these two pictures are not of the girls, but they are funny. At Ella's birthday party back in November, she got this little piano from the Venzke's, well I caught Chris having a good old time playing with it. Who says it is just for ages 6months to 18 months, I would say 6months and UP!!!!!

So most of you know that Kylie had a birthday in January, well this is a picture of some of the things she got for her birthday. She got both power tools and princess shoes. She is my girly girl, but she loves to get down and dirty and do work. This picture cracks us up because if you notice she is geared up to do some hard core work in her high heels. This isn't even the funniest picture, I have to find the one of her with the power tools while she is dressed in one of her princess dresses.

OK, so for the 2nd or 3rd time I am going to try to set up this blogspot. I got the idea from a friend, and really like it but I am not good at keeping up with everything. I am really going to try this time, we will see how long it lasts!
