1.21.12: Breakfast on Main St {155}



Of course the one time we get inclement weather is a Friday night (come on, Mother Nature- get your act together!) Dance was canceled as we were about to leave so we headed to breakfast :)

1.20.12: Prize {154}



Big deal alert! Audrey popped in the potty for the first time so tonight she got to pick out a toy at Target. We also ended up getting her one of the miniature Barbies that she always plays with in the check-out line. So proud of our big girl!

1.19.12: Trying to pull up {153}



Abigail is trying so hard to pull up! I wonder how long it will be until she gets it?!

1.18.12: Rough Day {152}



Audrey would not take a nap today and so of course she fell asleep in the car. Thankfully it doesn't happen very often, but when it does she goes through about 20 minutes of clinginess and weepiness when we get home. I feel the same way when I don't get a nap, Audrey :)

1.17.12: Peaches {151}



What a face! She loves them, though!

1.16.12: Standing up! {150}



This picture is misleading because she does not yet pull herself up. But if we stand her up she'll stay there for awhile! Funny thing is, instead of just sitting when she's tired, she gets all whiny and looks totally scared, lol.

1.15.12: Bath time fun {149}



Usually it's the older sibling who teaches the younger one silly things. Abigail gets the credit for this one!

1.14.12: Birthday {148}

1.13.12: Goofball {147}

1.12.12: "Don't forget about me!" {146}



I was giving Audrey a bath when I hear Abigail crawling around the corner...she always wants to be where we are! Usually she's making a bee line for Audrey's room. I'm thinking we need a gate soon!

1.11.12: Playtime {145}



Nothing better than playtime with my girls!

1.10.12: Recess {144}



It had snowed quite a bit the afternoon before and the kids were anxious to go out for recess the next day to play in the snow. Unfortunately it was nearly 50 degrees and most of the snow had melted! Nevertheless my kids had a great time with what little was left :) Mother Nature, please give these kids at least one good snow storm this winter!

1.9.12: Snow {143}



What is it about falling snow that makes a kid immediately lift their head and stick out their tongue?!

1.8.12: Whoops! {142}



I was taking pictures of Abigail as she was standing up with the baby stroller. I wasn't fast enough to catch her, but got this great action shot instead, lol.

1.7.12: Dancing Cousins {141}



Cousin Skylar joined Audrey's dance class. They are so cute together!

1.6.12: #1!! {140}



Today we learned that our school received the Governor’s Award for Educational Excellence. It's the top award for achieving academic excellence. Hard work really does pay off!

1.5.12: Goodbye {139}



One of my kids moved today and I got this wonderful card from his parents. He also wrote me a note: "I know that I will not see you aneymore but I will always rember you. It was a good year." Then he drew a frowning face with an arrow pointing to it that said "me." Ugh...Moments like that make me realize that I was definitely put here to be a teacher!

1.4.12: Miss Firefighter {138}



Chris got me hooked on Firehouse Subs. Audrey loves to wear the hat "like Uncle Ryan!"

1.3.12: Drawing {137}



Audrey was so pleased with herself for drawing a happy face (he doesn't look happy, but whatevs!!)

1.2.12: Clapping! {136}

12.31.11 & 1.1.12 {134 & 135}

12.31.11 {134}



There's an episode of MMCH where Mickey rescues Daisy by climbing up the side of the tower. She throws down her scarf and he uses it to climb up. As the girls were laying in our bedroom, we hear, "Come on, Abby, climb up, hurry, hurry!!" Audrey has thrown over the blanket and is trying to get Abby to climb up so she can "save" her. She cracks me up!

******************************************

1.1.12 {135}



I downloaded a Cinderella book on my Kindle Fire and Audrey loved "reading" it! She was summarizing what was happening on each page. This is going to get so much use!

12.30.11: Haircuts {133}



Audrey had her second haircut today and did great! She got a lollypop afterwards as she watched me get my haircut. She kept stroking my arm and telling me I was doing a great job :) And when I offered her a second lollypop (hers fell on the floor) she insisted I keep it..."I want you to have it, Mom!" :)

12.29.11: Yummy lunch! {132}



We're adding mac and cheese to the menu!

12.28.11: Abby loves Mickey! {131}



We get the best smiles and giggles when we bust out Mickey Mouse!

12.27.11: Sisters {130}



Abby's face cracks me up sometimes!

12.26.11: That's a lot of pictures! {129}



Chris has been getting after me for forever to get the thousands of pictures off our Mac so it will run faster. So I did! It felt great to finally get this task done. And yes, I do realize I took a picture of all the pictures I took :) I have a problem, okay?!
