Catch Up! and Emma is WALKING!

Let's remember for a moment that I was doing really well with blogging until this past week :) 

So, a catch-up! What's been going on the last 4 or 5 days?

Well....

We've played with puppies inside ...

The girls switch back and forth with their rocking chair and puppy bean bag courtesy of Lulu 

And outside...

Talking a walk

 And we've done LOTS of practicing with walking!

love this Frankenstein baby

Proof that he's still alive ;) 

VICTORY for babykind!

I've talked about Emma's love of all hats before ... but she gave me her very own private fashion show the other day. She kept taking the hat off and putting it back on, which made for some pretty awesome looks :) hehe

I don't usually take pictures of Clara at school, but I caught her reading Alice in Wonderland when I picked her up the other day and it made me smile after the play :)

Our weather has been insane. Blue and sunny and then storming and then partly cloudy and then hailing, very unpredictable. Well one of those stormy afternoons I took the girls over to Lulu's house to play hoping a change of scenery and seeing their Lulu would help :)

"Emma, take a cheese!"

Bryan met us there after work.

Getting out to help

 The games are fun after dinner activities (and free since my kiddos don't know the difference :)

thinks she's a big girl

one way to do it :) 

loved her outfit this day!

working on our stencil coloring - she loves it! 

requires intense concentration  

making off with our stencil collection, haha

Then we had some friends over for dinner, cupcakes and a game night!

Jonah's birthday party was cancelled because he didn't feel well, so we sang happy birthday and he had a cupcake at our house that night.

Not a huge fan

Even less of a fan of the bath that followed smearing it all over hehe

Our favorite game: Ticket to Ride

PROOF!! I have officially been in the LEAD on a trivia game! I know - it's nuts!

Another day's fun:

Different day, lots of fun!

Another little while of sunshine!

mowing the patio

 Sunny to BOOM! Grape sized hail falling from the sky

whoa mommy! 

One of the smaller hail pieces bounced on our patio

 A different day Lulu dropped by for a little while to say hi to the girls. The had a snack outside, yumm.

Emma says "beebee" for her Aggie doll

Emma had her 12 month check up and shots today :(

Healthy!! 17lbs, 28" tall. Around the 12% for size, petite and perfect :)

A few other videos that got out of order and now Blogger has me all confused:

Now that you know what's going on with us, I hope you have a great night!! Sorry for the massive photo and video dump!
