Lydia's taking a nap? Yeah, right!

These two pictures are just cute...one is of Briggs and Lydia cuddling on the couch. (Briggs requested that I take it because they were "so cute!")  The other picture is of Lydia while she was taking a "nap". If you'll notice, she's wearing Sadie's shoes, was reading Sadie's book (Harry Potter 6!), has Sadie's old purse and Brigham's Ben 10 watch. Yes, lot's of sleeping going on here. AUGHHH!  We're just SO sad that she's figured out how to get out of the crib! If she wasn't so BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, BUSY, BUSY AND MORE BUSY, it would't be a problem. But we are IN TROUBLE!  Can I put a gate or net over the top of her crib? I'm KIDDING! (kind of) :)

Briggs LOVES school!

Briggs is just the cutest little kid! Every day when I drop him off at school, he gives hugs and kisses, jumps out of the car and blows me kisses and then walks up to PRE-K (NOT preschool! as he puts it) like a little man. Then when I pick him up and ask what he liked about school today, his answer is always "EVERYTHING!" This is a picture of one of his school friends, Abby. He saw her at Liam's program and it was like they were long lost best friends!  Geesh guys, it's only been 4 hours since you saw each other last! There's a lot of love in the Pre-K class! :)

Piano Recital...tinkling those ivory's!

Sadie and Liam had their piano recital last week....it was great! They have a fabulous piano teacher...we just love her! They both love her and sometimes even fight over who gets to practice first....WHAT????  I never had that problem when I was younger! :)  They were awesome! We're so proud of them! Thanks, Daleesa, for your teaching and musical talents...we're so lucky that you share them with us!

Liam's school program

Liam had his school program on Thursday and it was really good! He had a speaking part and did a great job. Here's some pics...yes, that is a weird hat on his head! He looked pretty cute, though!

More Hair

Ok, these pictures are just funny. Liam is growing out his hair, on purpose, and Chuck's is too long because he hasn't had time to go in and get it cut! So, they were goofing off one night doing ponytails and I got photographic evidence! :)  I may be disowned or suddenly disappear after this post...if so, I leave my cherished blankie to Sadie! :) 

Lydia's first Haircut

Well, Lydia is more that 2 years old and has never had a haircut, so it's time! She also had all these little fuzzies sticking out in front where her baby hair was growing in, so I thought bangs would help. I resisted it for a long time but it just looked so silly, so I decided to suck it up and have them cut. So, we got there, were almost done with the haircut and the girl said, "She's got a pretty bad "cowlick" (or however you spell that) so you'll have to blowdry her bangs every morning...are you sure you want to cut bangs?" Well, me, knowing nothing about hair thought, "How bad could it be?" so we went ahead with it.  Well, as you can see from the pictures, one is of her haircut, one is of her with her cute bangs and one if how she feels when she sees the cowlick!  :)  (Actually, she'd just gotten knocked in the head by Briggs who was trying to get in the picture with her...poor kid!) I'm not kidding, that it looks like that if I don't blowdry and "style" her hair. Style a 2  year olds hair? Are you kidding me? So, it only gets done when it's a must. Otherwise, she looks all "cowlicky"! :) It's a good thing she's cute!  Now...on to growing bangs out! :) Ahhhhh, the joys!

Liam is 9!

On Nov. 5, Liam turned 9 and we had a FUN birthday...NIGHT GAMES! We have a creek area at the end of our subdivision so we invited all of his friends, gave everyone flashlights and they played Capture the Flag and Kick the Can (which was the favorite of the evening!)  It was a fun night and I can't believe Liam is 9 already!
