Eye Protection

Malorie got a tool kit for Christmas that included some goggles. I guess we could have forgone the tools and just got her the goggles because she wears them like they were glasses....I guess she wants to be like Annalie.

Eight is great

Today was Annalie's 8th birthday. She is such a wonderful girl and we are so blessed to have her in our lives. It is crazy to see how she has grown and tonight she even went to her first official activity days for church! We are so proud of the things that she has done and we are so excited that she is going to be baptized. It is so fun to see her grow and it is so fun to look at pictures of her when she is small to see how she came to be what she is today! We sure love our Annalie!

Boys day out!

We went to the doctor yesterday and we found out that we are having a boy! We are super excited about this news and we are even more excited that everything else looks good. He is even measuring a little big which is AWESOME! We had a great nurse who was doing the ultrasound and as we found the evidence that he is a boy she prints out a picture with an arrow pointing and the words, "Boy Parts". Thanks for dumbing it down for us. :) We are so excited and looking forward to a full pregnancy!

Eyes Wide Shut

Malorie is a ball of fire. She runs everywhere. When running, if she thinks she might run into something instead of adjusting to miss it she just shuts her eye that is closest to the object and kind of hopes for the best....Today, the best did not meet her but instead the door frame did. Matt said she hit so hard that it sounded like a bowling ball hitting the floor! While this is all very sad it left quite an impressive mark. You can see the line down from her forehead and on her cheek of where she hit. Maybe next time she will either slow down or keep her eyes on where she is going.

Belles of the Ball

Matt and I went to an "Ugly Christmas Sweater" party last weekend. It was a lot of fun and even though there was no prize for the ugliest sweater, I am sure that we would have won....or at least come in second.

What's your problem?

I wish I had a picture to go along with this but I don't. Malorie has become very good at playing pretend (Thanks to her very creative and playful sister). Our favorite character that she takes on is a superhero. She ties a blanket on as a cape and then she will come up to us and say, "I'm a superhero....What's your problem?" How valient! :)

The wrath of mom

The other night the girls were downstairs and I was up. Annalie was coming upstairs to tattle on Malorie. Apparently Malorie was in hot pursuit but could not keep up. When Annalie got to me Malorie just stopped dead in her tracks in the kitchen. Annalie told on her and was given the response of "work it out". As she ran to go back downstairs she met Malorie who was still standing in the kitchen and Malorie wispered, "What did Mom say?"
What a turkey. It is scary that at three she knows what buttons to push on Annalie and she knows that there will more than likely be a punishment.
