Cousins

Jared came for the day on Monday.  He and Irelyn had a blast playing together once Jared finally got warmed up and used to being at our house.  Here are some pictures of them playing together.

Watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

riding the horse and car around in circles

BIG HUGS ~ Irelyn was a little more aggressive with the hugs than Jared liked.

I got you Jared

he finally got away from Irelyn and was eating a snack

riding the car again

I had to add this one and the next one these are two her new things the first is her "attitude" pose she does this after she does something she is not supposed to.

This is her saying cheese.  Can you tell she gets her picture taken alot.

Work in Progress

I was playing with the blog tonight and the title/header is still a work in progress.  I'm still trying to figure out how to get a picture on it, but I am giving up for tonight because Irelyn has decided that she really needs mommy and daddy isn't cutting it anymore.

Superbowl Fun

We stayed home this year and watched the Superbowl and ate lots and lots of food.  Here are some pictures I took.

I think she was calling the Colts to give them some pointers.

Let the feast begin!

Yummy goodness Sweet Chicken Bacon Wraps

these things are awesome.  They should be

against the law.

Snow

Taylor helped daddy shovel

Jacelyn and her ice friends

This one came off of one of our sidewalk lights

she carved it alittle so it would look like the moon.

The neighbors tree

Allyssa and Irelyn didn't come outside to play.  Irelyn isn't a big fan of the cold and Allyssa volunteered to stay inside and watch her.

Updates

Well the last of the decorations are finally put away and we are headed full steam into the second part of the school year.  Soccer and baseball signups are going on right now so we have those two things to look forward to in the near future.  The kids are doing great in school Allyssa made the A/B honor roll, Taylor made the all A honor roll and Jacelyn got all A's and and S's on her report card.  Here are some things Irelyn is doing:

*puts on a backpack or grabs her purse and waves and says see you later (at least thats what it sounds like) and then goes to the garage door.
*says there it is when you ask her to find something
*loves to beat up on bubby then love on him
*has decided she only wants pop tarts in the morning because that is what sissy eats
*dances anytime she hears music
*climbs on anything and everything she can
*still refuses to say momma
*has started signing more and milk we are working on a few others but she won't do them yet
*if she is really tired she will go to the stairs and yell until someone opens the gate then she heads to her room and waits by her crib.  She cries for a minute when she relizes she is being left but then falls right to sleep
*usually falls asleep on the couch during Playhouse Disney then I take her up for her nap
There is lots of other stuff but that is all I can think of right now.

I have been a slacker with the camera lately so no new pictures this time.
