Strawberry Afternoon!

We decided to head for the hills (and there still wasn't much snow!) with some friends and spend some time with the kids in the snow. It was tons of fun to spend some time with Taylor playing on her snowmobile. Grandpa and Grandma Smathers gave the girls their little snowmobile sled for Christmas and this was the first time they have had a chance to ride it...And Taylor LOVED every moment of it! She also loved riding the big sleds and kept asking for more! Here are some fun pics!

Christmas Fun....I know I'm Late :)

We got together with some friends and did gingerbread houses! Taylor was very into the candy!

On Christmas Eve, the girls opened their new pajamas with Grandpa and Grandma.

Ready...set...open. Jordan wasn't too into it! :)

This by far was Taylor's favorite present. Princess outfit that didn't come off for weeks after Christmas.

New aprons for their kitchen.

We didn't take too many pictures, but we did enjoy the time with each other and

extended family. We are so blessed!

My Little Princesses

For someone who grew up a devout tom-boy...it's interesting to have a daughter that is so girly!! Taylor is sooooooooooo in to princesses right now! She got into Jordan's clothes and found this little tutu that her aunt Jenna bought for her when she was about 6 months old. I never thought that it would button, but it did and she wore it proudly all day! She even convinced me to make a crown for her!

Here she is with Jenna at 6 months!!

Jordan didn't want to be left out!!

I had to include this photo. Taylor naps in our guest room and this is what I found when I went to check on her one day. If you can't tell...she has climbed between the backboard and the window and fallen asleep. She was doubled over on her knees and just snoozing away!

Happy Birthday Grandpa Millard

Happy Birthday Grandpa. We're sorry that we didn't get a card in the mail, but it was fun trying to get Taylor to cooperate to get a video! We never got an amazing take...but here are the top three! We love you ...Happy Birthday!

Jordie

I feel like Taylor does a lot of crazy things that warrent posts...but poor Jordan just gets lost in the chaos!! Here are some pics of my not-so-little girl!!

I finally decided that I wanted her to hold the bottle on her own....it was a little messy at first!

A friend of mine came over for dinner while Rob was away on business and her daughter put Jord into the walker without realizing that the seat wasn't fully attached! Jord was a little concerned.

Jordan loves to steal food from Taylor!! Oh, and Taylor loves to feed Jordan because then she doesn't have to eat as much.

Getting a little better at that bottle thing!!

Girly Girl

I think the picture says it all....

Happy Halloween

Well we have been celebrating Halloween since the Wednesday before Halloween!! Our ward had our annual Halloween/Chili Cook off on Wednesday and Taylor was excited all day for her costume Party. We totally geeked it up. Rob wore a shirt that he won at work that lights up when there is wi-fi available. Jordan was windows seven. I was a firewall...and Tay was our computer geek!!

Sunday night we carved our pumpkin with Rob's family. Uncle Brian drew the face and then Rob and Taylor took care of the rest.

Jordie really really wanted to get involved!!

Proud Mama showing off her pumpkin...which we actually left burning all night Monday night! Ooops...funny thing is that the candle lasted all night and I didn't notice until Taylor told me that the pumpkin was still glowing! At 8 am!!!

Here are some pics of the girls on Monday! The computer nerd made a return appearance. Here she is using her cell phone to take a picture of me...she had to take her glasses off to do it.

Oh...better put the cell phone away!

Grins...

Jordan sported her Ukrainian gear on Monday instead of being windows 7!! I bought this cute shirt on my mission and Tay was too big for it last year. It fit Jordan perfectly and she was darn cute.

Here's a cute one of my girls together!!
