January

Welp, Madi finished up her last month of 

swimming lessons (for now)

She has proven herself to be one sweet little fishy!!

 It actually snowed this year!!

YAY:)

Lucky for us, it stayed long enough to play in

for a few days and then disappeared!

 The girls loved EATING and  playing in the snow.

We are lucky to have a sweet hill right by us

to go sledding on!

 We later went and got some sleds,

but for the ghetto that we are sometimes

the lid off a bin and garbage sack worked wonders

for a little bit!!

 We celebrated my 28th birthday!

We had some amazing friends come play with

the girls for a little bit so Trevor and I could go out to dinner.

( Thanks Brian and Krystalyn )

 Their daddy sure is a good sport!

The girls had a hay day going to town

putting make up ALL over his face:)

 Raelee kept taking her diaper off one night

so we decided to let the girls run around in their undies!

 Trevor said good bye to his little car

(Madi had nicknamed it the "blue streak")

We bought it for just a couple hundred when we moved out

here and sold it for lots more!

It was great, but we were excited to get a more reliable car:)

Madi has named our new car (Honda accord - the Night hawk! haha )

 The girls are constantly dressing up in their high heels these days!

They sure do have the best imaginations and love playing together:)

Notice Raelee's shirt??

It took Daddy a little while to notice! HAHA

We found out this month that we are expecting our 3rd little one

in September!!

 This sweet little babe of mine has grown up SO fast.

I realized I say that about both girls,

but it's true!!!

Raelee turned 18 months :)

She is the most independent little thing.

She doesn't like being away from her big sister....

therefore isn't the biggest fan of nursery!

 She has the silliest quirk.

She likes to find something small,

the tail of her cat, shoelaces, corner of a blanket

and softly rub in the corner of her eye, her ear, or just under her nose.

And that's not it, she likes to share and insists that you

let her rub it on your face too!

 She is showing MAJOR signs of wanting to potty train,

which I'm not surprised

because Madi was the same way.

Although, I'm not quite ready to start yet.

Raelee LOVES to sing.

She will sing the tune to

I am a Child of God and Teach Me to Walk in the Light

ALL day long.

It's fun to listen, because sometimes she

actually says the right words:)

 Of course we can't leave out this little thing either...

She has been the best big sister and helper to Rae.

I find that I don't have as much time to sit and teach Raelee like I

did with Madison,

but Madi has taken that roll on and loves to involve and teach

Rae new things all the time!

 She would not smile for anything!!

But here is the growth pic at 18 months!
