3 months!

This sweet little thang is super happy most of the time.  She loves to swish around in the bathtub, and get her diaper changed.  She is still sleeping in Mom's room but has started sleeping really well.  She goes to bed around 8 pm and then sleeps until 3, then goes back to sleep until 6:30 when it is time to wake everyone else up for school.

She is smiling at everyone, even strangers.  She prefers momma over anyone else.  When she cries it sounds like she says "mamamamamamamama".

hammocks are for harmony

The hammock is really one of the few places that my kids decide to be kind and not fight.  And it's the only thing to do in the backyard.

Masquerade ball

Sam and Brooklyn went to their masquerade ball at the middle school.  Anytime any of my daughters lets me do their hair and makeup, I am all over it!!  Sam refused my help with his hair and makeup.  ;)

However, any time I do B's makeup she instantly looks older and I can see into the future.  I am glad she doesn't wear makeup all the time!!

 B and her friend that lives on our street.

Shootin some bball

Madelyn played on her school's 3rd/4th grade basketball team again this year.  She did a fantastic job and is learning to be a good little player.  I love watching her games and I am proud to say that I embarrassed Sam by my cheering.  That's mom success in my book!

 I just had to include this shot of the boy above.  He was on our basketball team last year and he was the sweetest kid ever.  Also a very good player.  When he is in the NBA I can say that I coached him once.

The Nursery

Little Penelope shares a room with Scarlet.  Here are a few snippets of their room.

Snow in Utah!

Quick trip to Utah in February.  We lucked out and came when there was tons of snow!!
