It's a funk...



 ...that's what we've been in at our house...a funk.  We are working our way out of it, but it's been a super slow process...A lot has happened though, pictures will suffice...

JANUARY


My little Irish boy.  Bryant received this outfit when he was a baby and I had been searching high and low for it, I finally found it!  He was able to wear it one time.
Bryant received his Wolf!  He had it earned much earlier, but there just wasn't a Pack Meeting to recognize him, so he finally received it in January.  I am so proud of him.
He looks like a statue...it was so funny to see him sit in this thing (Bumbo)...every time we would put him in he would stick his arms out like this-hilarious!

dress up....she comes up with the most creative outfits!
my little mischievous monkey.  if I don't take pictures and laugh, I would just bawl...she is into everything!!  She found a PBJ sandwich and smeared it all over herself, the counter and thought it was the best thing ever...this is a daily occurrence.



trying food...I think he was a little stuffed at this point.  ha!  



FEBRUARY
I found her painting her nails all by herself...she was even gracious enough to put a paper towel down...
she is doing such a pretty job

somehow the fingernail polish turned into lipstick...?

she isn't afraid of anything...she is on daddy's hands touching to highest point of the house

this little one, on the other hand, is scared that she is touching above the front door (takes after her mom)

she's TWO!!! the let the terribles continue...

her sisters gave her a ring box FULL of dress up rings!  I am pretty sure this was her favorite gift of the night.

Our Valentines treats for preschool...they were so fun to make and reminded me of Elementary school when I made them for my friends-my mom was cool like that!

such a happy boy! 

it snowed!  we played! we laughed! we enjoyed!

She's SEVEN!  where has the time gone?

she wanted a Rapunzel castle and daddy delivered!  It was super fun to make, I wish we would have had better "decor" to make it look even more realistic...

art supplies were at the top of her wish list.  she got a LOT!

she wanted makeup...she thinks she is old enough...Grandma Anna was just as disconcerted as we were and helped her pick out some facewash and lotion to prepare for wearing makeup...telling her she needs to have proper hygiene and be in a routine before she can wear makeup. A great lesson and life saver!

Enjoying her ice cream cone

a LOT!

funk con't-March

cowboy brothers!  McKay would smile and then get serious the second I touched the camera...

little miss dirty face cowgirl...I swear I can't seem to get a picture of her clean AND hair done...sheesh, but she's almost always happy.

we borrowed some super fun curlers...the little girls like them better than the big girls

back view...

she wanted to pose with McKay and then he didn't smile...go figure.

sisters...and a messy face-sheesh.

check out that comb over...he's due for a haircut, but I just don't want to cut those baby locks...

I LOVE this picture.  They had no idea I took it.  Sarah is just soaring in her reading skills and I thought it was adorable that she would take the time to read to Lydia. 

St. Patricks Day-taste the colors of the rainbow...we did just that!  Soooo delicious!

she was in heaven making a mess...and I was disgusted that stores really expect people to eat this-can you guess what it is? 

the frosting from her cupcake!  SICK! 

My little popeye...that frosting stained her hands, arms and face for a good two days...it was so gross!

He loved that we put him in the stroller and took a long walk around the neighborhood.  He was in heaven observing the outdoors.

funk con't-April

prepping the garden for spring cleaning

exploring the garden

another awesome outfit

taking after her sister...check out that outfit

watch this...

plop.

Bryant created and painted and assembled his own pinewood derby car this year.  I was rather proud of him!


mischievous child...those are bubbles...

those are bubbles...

and that is soap covering the entire mirror of the bathroom...she said she had fun...

enjoying a ride with dad!  yee-haw!

his first experience in a bounce house...he was rather excited.  his cousin, not so much-ha!

check out this outfit and hair...wait til you see the shoes...

the shoes...yes, she owns all these clothes, but they weren't necessarily intended to go together-at least not by me...she LOVES to be creative with clothing!

funk con't-"Easter" photo shoot








My mom made skirts for the girls...all matchy...for Easter.  We went to visit a couple weeks after and I made the girls take them so she could see.  They looked so cute I had to take pictures!  I think they turned out rather okay.
