Flashback

Here is my flashback that we hope to never need to do again. Joni had a tough time fighting some illness before Christmas but was a super sport about breathing treatments. She only cried a few times we did them. She is such a good baby. Generally she is my laid back and easy going kid. Thinking ahead 2 years, could she just stay like this and skip the terrible 2's? Please??
Anna has her days when I think wow is terrible the only thing they could come up with for 2 really?
Christmas pics coming soon.....

On The Go..

Joni has been able to go for a few weeks but very slowing and in what Anna and I call inch worm fashion. In the last week or so she has figured out how to perfect her own method of crawling. She is no longer and inch worm, does not army crawl but does not use the traditional method to crawl. I can try to explain she gets up in the crawling position and then will move her arms way out, then her legs go. She gets where she wants fast now. Anna is learning her toys are no longer safe. Joni is also learning that not all of Anna's toys are safe. Joni is a very determined little one, I think Josh is in for some fun but 3 stubborn girls!!!!


Anna picks her own Jammie's a lot. Sometimes they are the best outfits. She always wants this crazy pair of 18 month poka dot shorts check her out. The shoes were new so she had to add them.

My Little Mail Lady

We took Anna to Trick or Treat in Ashville and Wow she was so cute. Thanks to Kimi for letting us use the costume. Everyone told us how cute she is and how great the outfit was. I am sure Maddy heard the same things last year looking so cute in it. We are looking forward to seeing more of the family this sat and collecting more candy.


Anna turned to one lady and said I am dressed in a mail outfit, then I'm dressed like my Grandma Tammy! She was a great sport. She has Thank You and Trick or Treat a little backwards she says Thank you before getting the candy and Trick or Treat as she is walking away.

Some pics of my kiddos at the pumpkin patch! Anna loves going to the pumpkin patch. Almost every day she will ask me if we can go.

Bling Bling

Joni got her ear's pierced last Sat. They look awesome and both Joni and Dad did well. Mom and Anna left while it happened. The girls are both doing well and Joni is starting to laugh at Anna. Its the greatest thing to watch, she will giggle at her and Anna loves it.

Going Private

I think I will soon make this blog site private maybe by weeks end. Which means for those of you who read it you'll have to create a google account and password to log in. Sorry about that but seems like a good ideal. If you would like to be invited to read about Anna and Joni please send me your email so I can add you to my approved reader list. You can do this one of two ways, email me or just leave a comment to this post. Sorry for adding the extra step to my blog.

Love the Hair

Gotta love that hair. This was a wig Anna and I found we both thought she needed it.

Update on Joni she has finally mastered rolling from belly to back and can sit without help for short spans of time!

Happy girls!

Sorry for the pics that go every way having trouble today. I don't want to reload them so tilt your head!

Co Co Key

We took the girls to CoCo Key water park. Anna loved it. She went down some water slides, went around the lazy river, played basketball, and did some swimming. She was very good no crying about taking a break and listened to us so well. She had a lot of fun. I did not take my camera in I did not want it wet.

Joni just chillin while I get Anna ready for school.

Fun with the girls

Here are some pics from some fun times we have had with the girls, Anna, Joni, Reese and Adrien. They all love to play together and enjoy having toy swaps last time before we headed over to their house Anna picked a toy to take along and give her friends.

This is Daddy and Joni hanging out at Adrien's birthday party

They all became some sort of crazy animal.

Anna my Lion "Roooar"

Yummy Pie

Anna and I made Blackberry Pie on sat. She had a great time helping me make it. Mostly she just dumped sugar all over my floor, but it was fun. Eating the berries and then the finished project was her favorite part.

Roller Derby

We took Anna rollerskating for the first time Friday night. Daddy and Joni went along to watch while mom and Anna went to the middle of the rink! Anna thought she was just the coolest girl ever. She had so much fun and was so tired. Check her out in her 1950 something skates! These were my moms then mine, Kristin's and now Anna's.


Joni is growing so fast. I took her for her 3 month appointment. She had to get her shots, I hate that. Joni did well she only cried for a few minutes.
She is 26" long which is off the charts and 13lbs 11oz which is 90%.

Joni sleeping and looking grumpy!

Bedtme

Anna is learning to lay alone to go to sleep! Yes I know it took me a long time to break her, I love laying down with her and having our snuggle time. I think this is harder for me then it is her. Anna falls asleep on her couch in the living room usually watching "The bear movie" which is Open Season. It appears mom and dad our going to change the rule of no TV in the kids rooms and ask Santa to bring her one. Not so bad considering bedtime is really the only time she watches it most days. I am sure she does see some at school but not much. Sometimes Anna will ask to turn it off! This I love it means she just wants to play alone or with us.

Here is a pic of the girls laying on Anna's couch.....they look so much alike!

Happy 4th

Happy 4th of July! I am a little late on this post but some pics I wanted to get posted.
