Valentine's Day Craft

The girls did a craft with our mom's group. We had 24 moms and kids over to our house for a play date and craft time. They turned out super cute.. and I am finding glitter everywhere! (in my dishwasher.. really??!). It is a great group of ladies and has helped to make living far away from most of our family much easier. To have friends near by is a great feeling!

(A day late for ) Wordful Wednesday!

*Wordful Wednesday is for those of us that like to showcase a photo(s) but just can't seem to keep our mouths shut up about it (them). Rylee Mae all dressed up with her accessories from Grandma & Grandpa for Christmas! Tutu, hat, glasses, bracelets and purse!

Back to Blogging.. Hopefully

No promises.. but I am back to blogging as of this moment (thank you Stasia for the inspiration). Looking @ our last post 3 months ago so much has happened. Our beautiful babes (miracles) turned two with a fabulous birthday party that they still talk about. Wild as a Zoo, Raegan and Rylee are TWO! We celebrated the holidays. The girls loved to "open, open, open.. MORE!" as they would say. Their favorite gift was the Blue's Clues Handy Dandy notebook that I made @ home and probably spent about $1 on.. isn't that the way it always goes. Just as in the pictures below.. all the toys in the back yard and they love to "squirt, squirt" with the 99 cent squirt bottles more than anything! Raegan Danielle 2years 2months
Rylee Mae

They never listen when you say don't squirt mommy or the windows.. to them it means squirt more and laugh really loud!

Who you are today!

Rylee girl LOVES going down the slide on anything she can climb or sit on.
Raegan loves to be with sissy and wants everyone to be together.. in the same room... all the time :)

Feeding our "babies babas"

Rylee: You love to be in control. You enjoy telling sissy, the dog, Mommy, Daddy and anyone else who will listen what to do. You like to be silly and love to play with your sissy. You are adventurous and test the limits.

Raegan: My little thumb sucker. You are very sweet but can be stubborn too. If you don't want to make eye contact you will avoid it no matter what. You love to give kisses and beat mommy and daddy to saying "bye" on the phone or "Amen" after prayers. You love your sissy so much and like to follow right behind her

Tutu Two!

I never knew what "girly" girls I had. They love to wear my shoes.. & bracelets.. and even tutus apparently!

Smiles all around!

This is only one of two pictures (in the girls's entire lives) that they are both smiling! I LOVE it.. it took about 10 bad ones (where one isn't looking or the other has their eyes closed) until we got this.. Just thought I'd share! Rylee (left) Raegan (right). 20 months old

Photo Meme

Jenny over at Better Leite Than Never tagged me in a Photo Meme. Post a family picture with a story behind it and write about it. This was the first Christmas at Danny's house. We just got Jaxon .. our then "baby." Our world revolved around each other.. our puppy.. and work. Little did we know the very next Christmas would be nothing but "quite as a mouse." We would have Raegan and Rylee keeping us up all night and for many nights to come. We didn't even know they were coming until the end of April that year and within 6 months of finding out they were on there way.. they were born.

Now I tag Stasia @ WeFourPetes to play along
