Holidays

The kiddos playing together during Christmas vacation.  It has been so nice to have Hannah home from school! I forgot how much I can get done with her around!!!

Our annual "Christmas Adam" Ice skating Party.  We had a blast!!!...the pictures are proof :)

Since Wade still won't go to anyone, so I opted out of skating this year. I had a blast taking pictures and watching Johan and the girls! They were so fun to watch!

 

Cloe literally ran around the rink the entire night! Digging her toe picks into the ice and cruising as fast as she could.  Good thing they had the skate trainers...she makes me nervous how fearless she is.  But I must say she was awesome!

Hannah started out with a walker but got brave fast and spent most of the night skating on her own. I am so proud of her! She did awesome!

 

Train

 

Towards the end of the night Hannah convinced Cloe to try skating without the trainer and she did good, but it made me so nervous! I prefer her having the walker for my sake :)

Cloe pushing Hannah :)

Wade loves his big truck!!!...to ride and push.  in this pictures he is pushing the horn and saying "beep,beep" he has become a big talker (saying mom, dad, Hannah, puppy, baby, beep, and clicks his tongue for horses...he also does the full on pat-a-cake.)

Christmas was a huge success!!! All the kids got way too much (for the first time ever) It is so nice to finally be done with school and have a job!   As you can see Wade figured out the funnest way to open presents :)

After all the presents were opened we took the girls out back to see the family surprise and they had the best reaction ever!

 

We love our "perfect size for our backyard" tramp.  The girls have jumped their legs sore :)

We hope everyone had as merry of a Christmas as us!

Dec 2011

  Wade sure loves to eat! He'll eat anything but baby food...he likes the real stuff! real peas, carrots, squash, green beans, black beans, pasta. the lists goes on! and he still insists on nursing every 2 hr also. surprisingly he has slimmed out a ton, just like Hannah did at his age.

 This was at Cloe's 4 year old party. I took a ton of pics but this will suffice. She wanted a dress up party and every one came as someone recognizable but her...she was Salina Gomez :) (Justin Beiber's girlfriend...of course)

 Eating again :) ritz are his favorite cracker

 We have gotten to see many Santa's this year. The top was at the mall. The girls loved him and he even told them in order for him to bring any presants to our house they must stay on the nice list and they must mind their mom and dad (i liked that). the one at the bottom came right to our clubhouse just for the kids in our neighborhood.  He was super nice too.

 We've had to put a chair up in front of our tree cause Wade just can't stay away. He'll undecorate it in seconds and I'm worried he'll pull it down on him.

 This was at Cloe's Dance recital with her teacher miss Amy.  She did such a cute job with the girls!

 Cloe totally knew what always came next and had amazing form! I loved watching her! she has such a gift!

 Wade at 9 months!!! I love this stage!!! He gets around so well.  He takes his own steps daily and I know he's so close to walking any day. He has two teeth on top and two on the bottom and luckily he only bit me a few times when they were actually coming through (we've had 0 incidents since). you can tell by these pictures how smiley he is....and he is all the time.  He is still such a mama's boy and I love it!  It is so sad when they're your last!

 Cloe's 4 year old pics

Cloe has grown up so much this last year! She is so social!!! She loves friends and loves to play with them any chance she gets! The neighborhood we live in has been so good for her.  She has 4 friends all within 4 houses of us. (there are 43 kids in her primary class)  She loves to snuggle and loves my attention! She loves "princess parties" (where we paint nails and get all pretty) and loves loves loves Hannah! They still are best friends and get along almost all the time! (I can't complain) We love this kiddo and she is so much fun! She is so funny and loves to make others laugh! She does the coolest dance moves.  She loves school and loves to learn...she is such a smartie!
