Scooting

Watch out! Brookie is on the move. She has been mastering sitting up on her own and scooting backwards. She's getting to be a pro...except when she gets stuck in corners!
Seeing her on her hands and knees or toes is getting to be a more common occurrence. And I love setting her down and knowing she'll sit there and play. What a cutie.

Little moments

Time keeps slipping by. The kids are growing faster than I ever imagined possible and I know I'll blink and this time of life will be over.
Some things I want to remember...
-family dancing in the kitchen--Megan was dancing with Dan and Brooke with me when Megan wanted Dan and I to dance. Dan started to put her down to oblige, but she couldn't stand not being part of the party so Dan got to dance with 3 girls all at once.
-listening to Brooke and Megan giggle at each other in the back seat
-watching Megan give Brooke "kisses" when really she is just bonking her head into Brooke's
-the way Brooke goes crazy kicking when she hears the water filling the tub before bath time
-the way Megan says "Pred-nint Monzon" when she blesses the prophet in her prayers
-watching movies with Megan--she has to sit right by you and have a blanket covering both of you before she is happy
This is only the tip of the iceberg, but I love these girls and feel so blessed to be their mother. Some days are long and sometimes I want to pull my hair out, but there are also many days that fly by and are fun and peace-filled.

I shouldn't be surprised...

that a little girl whose birthday is Halloween would love to wear her Halloween shirt all year long. She saw it at the bottom of her drawer a few days ago and wore it for three days straight. She calls it "witch" shirt and loves to sing "I'm a mean old witch" when she's wearing it. She often requests it when we are getting dressed in the morning and I pretend not to find it. I've hidden it in the back of her drawer. Maybe that's why she empties her drawers when she decides not to nap--it's not just to be naughty, she's looking for "witch"!

Be Mine...

A little Valentine's sweetness for you. Here are our two girls on Valentine's Day--we were home sick from church (with pink-eye and coughs) but still managed to get in the spirit of things. We had a fun Valentine's party during the week for the kids at a neighbor's house and had a yummy steak dinner to celebrate the day. Happy V-Day!

the "before" (she may not have much hair, but it can get a little crazy in the morning!)


the "after"


Brooke's hair was a little easier :)
