You're girls are such a joy!

Merry Christmas! We will see you after the New Year begins!

Funny Calli...

My parents are here visiting from Texas for a few days and I was asking Calli if she knew where Texas was...
Her response was "I don't know. I don't see it."
I said that Texas is very far away and that you can't see it.
She said "Oh, it's very far away? I don't want to walk there."
I told her, OK, you don't have to walk there"
and she said "Ok, they can walk there."

:O)

A casual Friday...

Waiting....

with a little help from Naomi.

The Hat of Choice...

And another tea party....

We are busy people...

Simply Delightful...

Waiting and Entertaining...

Molly woke from her nap before anyone else and was patiently entertaining herself at the counter while she waited for a snack. She is loads of fun!

Playing catch up...

Playing with paperdolls... Spencer found the paper animals and let the girls deal with the girls :)
Lissette makes these beautiful, very cute aprons for little kids and they all love putting them on and playing with the kitchen....
In hiding
They wanted an indoor picnic so we had one during snack time. Audrey and Abraham joined us as soon as we got the food out. They can sense these things from their beds.
Audrey doing her best to get herself in this bin, it entertains her for a long time before she starts throwing other stuff in it.

Cameras and all their problems...

Well, I have to say that our camera is on the edge! Thankfully Christmas is around the corner but I'm hoping if I give the thing a break it will come back to life.

Today Gabi is here and the kids are in awe and loving it! Having someone smaller around makes them all feel so much BIGGER :) so they are adoring her and she is ok with all the attention.

A little of our day...

This is my favorite Christmas decoration we have and all the kids love it too!
Snack time: Dried Cranberries... we are in the season :)
Playing with Grace's paper dolls while she is away... don't tell.

Things they love...

Alexis, Spencer, crafts and
trains!

A height to high to handle...

I was in the family room when I hear Calli screaming at the top of her lungs for help. As I'm running towards her I'm thinking, for the first time ever, I'm going to be calling 911! As soon as I see her a foot off the ground on the second step up I start laughing, she realized she was not in danger and even stayed a couple seconds longer to smile for me ;)

The middle of the week comes so quickly...

Play time!
An Artist at work!
An Eater at work!
I stood by her and made sure she chewed and swallowed

the handful of banana that she got in her mouth :)

Trucks, Trains and Automobiles...

Today we played with every form of transportation toy we have in our house. The train even came by the back of the house a couple of times working in perfectly with what we were doing. They had fun but I'm sure the girls will appreciate seeing all the dolls and baby stuff out tommorrow :)

A cowgirl and a horse...

Last week the kids were having fun pretending to have a horse and horsey rides... Nate's Grandpa is the king of fun little sayings or games that no one has ever heard of. So I taught them one about a horse ride that has different gaits etc. We had fun and here is Calli finding the best pretend horse she could have found and a couple seconds (after I got the picture :) I made her find a safer horse, one that might not hurt her ;)

We are blessed to be a blessing....

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families! I am thankful for the job of watching your precious children and am enjoying it so much.

God bless you!

Wigs, Letters and Dancing... Oh my....

The Princess' ready for the world!
For Grace's birthday (last night) we had McD's... I saved the boxes and they spent part of the morning filling them with letters and dumping them out.
I think this is my favorite picture so far! They are rockin' out to tunes while I get lunch ready.

Side Note: I told the kids they had a few more minutes to play and then it was time for bed. Today Calli told me, "I'm to busy to take a nap Jackie."

Once again this job cracked me up...

Habits are hard to break...

She just finished a bottle and soon... she's got her little tongue sticking out...

She's a cute girl with a cute habit!
