1.16.12 ~ SNOW!

We were hit hard with snow this weekend and it continues through the week. We have about 6" right now and the weather channels are predicting 3-6" more today and up to an additional12" tomorrow! I can't think of a time we've ever had more than a foot of snow here. The girls absolutely LOVE the snow and haven't complained of being cold yet. Here are some pictures of our fun in the snow. Avery is in the blue jacket, Brelynn in the white with purple flowers, and Camille is in the pink. 

1.3.12 ~ 2 1/2 year stats

Happy New Year everyone! We went to bed early and listened to all the fireworks shaking the house every hour. We're getting back into our routine following all the holidays and festivities. The girls were a little confused the first day someone didn't come over with presents after Christmas! They loved opening all the presents and eating lots of treats and visiting with all the family and dogs!

Today I took the girls in for their 2 1/2 year well child visits. They are doing incredibly well and once again impressed the doctor and nurses at how verbal they are. They also got flu shots and were very brave and didn't fuss much at all. Maybe it was the treats I had for them or maybe they're just getting to be big girls.

Here are their stats:
Avery: height 35 3/4" (38%ile) weight 25 lb 10 oz (16%ile)
Brelynn: height 36 5/8" (62%ile) weight 27 lb 8 oz (32%ile)
Camille: height 35 7/8" (46%ile) weight 23 lb 14 oz (8%ile)

Yay! Camille finally made it onto the growth curve for weight. It only took her two and a half years!

Here are a few pictures from all the Christmas festivities. Thanks to all our family for spoiling us and the girls and for working with the girls' schedules. They are ready for Christmas to come again!

12.15.11 ~ Christmas pics

We took the girls to Molbak's to get some Christmas pictures for our cards. They were the center of attention and had about 20 people standing around watching them while we took pictures. They were really cute in their dresses.

Fall 2011

The past few months have been really busy around here. The girls are dropping their naps which makes for cranky afternoons for all of us. We've been trying to stay busy because you can only sit at home with three cranky toddlers for so long before you go nuts. Here are some pictures from our outings. We took a drive up the Mt. Loop Highway and got some great shots in the forest. We also got together with our friends with almost one year old triplets (about 10 months in the picture). That was fun but we were definitely outnumbered! We even went out to dinner with the six kids!

11.4.11 ~ Funnies

The girls have been saying really funny things lately and I need to write them down so I don't forget them.

There's the bedtime prayer from Avery: "Thank you God for....ham. peas. family. big poops." I guess those are all important things.

Brelynn: Avery's eyes green?
Me: Yep, Avery's eyes are hazel.
Brelynn: Mimi's eyes blue?
Me: Yep, Camille's eyes are blue.
Brelynn: Mama's eyes brown?
Me: Yep, Mommy's eyes are brown.
Brelynn: Mama's teeth yellow?
Me: *sigh*

At Fred Meyer on a crowded day, I'm buying a pastry brush among other things and Brelynn is in the top of the cart holding it. Dan has a second cart with the other two girls behind us. Brelynn: "Tickle mommy!" (tickling my hands with the pastry brush). I laugh. "Tickle mommy boobies!" (yep, she's doing what you think). I try not to laugh but can't help myself. In a loud voice so Dan can hear her, "Tickle Daddy boobies!" (the whole store turns to see and laughs).

I get home from work after a long drive and the girls mob me at the door. I told them I had to go upstairs and go potty then I could play with them. Avery says, "Mommy, no accidents!"

I'm racking my brain to think of something Camille said but can't think of anything right now other than her usual, "mama up with you please" and then "mommy stand up now." The girl is going through a clingy stage where she wants to be held all the time. She is our singer and can usually be heard singing "Twinkle Twinkle" at the top of her lungs when she's supposed to be taking a nap.

10.31.11 ~ Halloween

The girls were cows for Halloween. They did a little trick or treating and really enjoyed giving out candy. Auntie Chelsea came to help with the festivities and the girls had a fun night. Dan and I enjoyed all the candy they couldn't eat :)
