Almost Two

Hahahaha! I will take all of the toys! Mine I tell you!

Because I AM easily guilt tripped

There isn't much new going on here. Just working on projects and cleaning, cooking etc. However I got a little guilt trip from Grandpa Noyes this week, so I threw up a few of our "not doing anything," pictures! Enjoy!

Sick and Snowing

Well, when it is snowing outside and you have a cold there isn't much to do but relax indoors. Tenna is watching "Milo and Otis," and eating her snacks. What a life!

I am always happy

Despite a grumpy and sick mommy and sister, Andi is a continual ray of sunshine! I love her little sidewase smile.

Life is still good

Second favorite new game

Tenna loves to play with Andi (when she is in a good mood). This is their favorite new game (well second favorite). Tenna plops down on Andi and tickles her face with her hair. They both giggle and squirm. Their VERY favorite game is one Tenna invented yesterday. Tenna sits on her ball and bounces on her bum saying "beebeebee," until she scoots too far forward. She then falls on her bum and shouts "boom." Andi just laughs, but it works for them!

Cutest baby

Well this week I decided I was going to take some cute baby pictures to enter into a contest! I was so excited (for a minute) but my kids just wouldn't cooperate. This is the best picture I got, but neither one of them really lived up to (I think) their true potential. Actually, it was more like they were rebelling! It might have helped if it hadn't been right BEFORE bath time and they were both grimey! Oh well, here are some duds!

The stink face

Tenna has this stink face that she picked up from me when I am thinking. It is so cute, but not exactly what I was looking for. Her funny story for the week is as follows...
On Monday I was having a beast of a time getting Tenna down for her nap. I gave up after about an hour and a half of struggle and went in to get her. To my suprise she had taken off all of her clothes and was playing between her matress and the memory foam (yes she is spoiled, I know). I couldn't help but laugh. I am so glad they do those kinds of things to keep us sain!

Potential

This picture has good potential, aside from the fact that she is a total mess! What was I thinking?

Darn it!

This one would have been so cute if I just knew how to use my dumb camera! Grrrr!

Tenna's new "weewee"

It has been too cold the past few WEEKS to go outside and play on our new swing, so Tenna has to get creative. The "learning tower," is her new "weewee." She just holds herself up in the corner and swings her legs back and forth. Not bad, I must say. I am sure glad that thing is so stable.
I missed the best camera opp today too. Andi was laying on the floor on her back and Tenna came and laid down between her legs and put her head on Andi's tummy. The both giggled and squeeled for quite some time while playing with eachothers hair, tickling, etc...ah that is what having children is all about! 

Andi's response

..what the heck is she doing? I am never going to do silly things that have the potential of scaring my mommy. 

The true spirit of Andi

So Andi had a great first Christmas, and was just a little trooper for the trip....sorry I have been so neglectful on pics, here are the more recent going's on, enjoy... 

Ready for an adventure!

Ok, so this is just a decoy for a toddler leash, but nobody tell Tenna. She thinks it's time to go backpacking, so off we go! 

Do as I'm doing

Here's proof, Tenna wants to be a grown up, just like Aunt Nicole. ;) 

Fun with Uncle Masaki and Clark

Well we had a great week with Masaki, Nicole, Clark and Grandma Lynne out. Tenna hasn't had this much exercise since the warm weather gave up! Clark is a great super man. 

SSkidding out on a tight turn 

Why don't I ever get anything done?

...Exhibit A, cleaning up after a toddler. 

Exhibit B 

Remodeling Redneck style

We have been completely remodeling the "master bathroom," it should be called the master pain in the keester, but that is a different story. This is the view from our back yard as our company began to show up. Nice, huh? 

We wish you a merry Christmas

Sorry, Andi has a little leg showing here. Both of the girls were in pretty, snug, Christmassy dresses today, so we had to take some pictures. We just couldn't get Tenna to get her thumb out of her mouth, as it was nap time. Oh well. We just felt pretty lucky to have one with both of them smiling at the same time. 

Beutiful girls

We chose this one for Tenna's cuteness, the other one was for Andi's cuteness. 

Good morning mama

This is what I get to look down at while making breakfast in the morning...aren't you jelous ;) 

My Family

The girls looked sooo cute today, we couldn't resist. I think this picture makes Andi look huge, and Albert even skinnier than he is! Oh well, they are sweet and they are mine! 

Crazy sleeper

This one is for Sarah...yes Tenna is all over the place when she sleeps. Sarah had done a great job on Tenna's hair one day, then it was all done for after her nap.
This is Tenna in her new "big girl," bed. Daddy quickly made a guard rail, as she HAD to sleep in it that very night! Well she loves it, and we are glad for the rail. She is such a zoo when she sleeps.
