3 Years Old!!

Wow, has it really been 2 months since we posted?? Well we have done alot in the last 2 months, but today was a very special day, Sadie and Maegan turned 3!! These are some pictures from today, we love them so much and we would like to thank everyone who has poured into our lives in the last 3 years to help us get here. We definitely couldn't have made it this long without all of you playing an integral part in our lives, whether it be daily, monthly or only a few times a year, all of you are special to us!

Snow day!!

So, it snowed last week, the girls had a great time and playing in the snow. Its really the first time that they have gotten to play that they remember, but it has in reality snowed every year of their lives so far. I'm 33 years old, its snowed more in my 3 year olds lives than in mine. What irony!!

"We're ready!!"

a few days later, we went outside dressed like this!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Christmas Day

How much fun is Christmas day with your kids? What an awesome time to hang around as a family and just play together. We also got to start teaching the girls that Christmas is not about presents, but its about Jesus. We tried to dumb that down to a 2 year old level, we made birthday cupcakes for Jesus' birthday. The girls loved it!

all of Maegan's presents had an 'M' on them

The girls got backpacks. Sadie picked out one with flowers

They both got doctor kits, it has been the hit of all the presents

Addison is sad. "Where's all my presents?"

"Oh, there they are!!"

We got water color paints. They love coloring and painting.

New Mickey Mouse t-shirts!!

Maegan wants to celebrate Jesus' birthday everyday. Cupcakes are goooood!!

Christmas Eve!!

The girls got to open a few Christmas presents from Nanny tonight. It got them in the mood and helped to jog their memory about what we did last year. I just wanted to add that Christmas is NOT about presents, it's about Jesus and specifically His coming here to be our savior. Let's keep our thoughts centered on Him, and teach our kids the TRUE meaning of Christmas!

Maegan is soooo excited to open presents!

We got Dora dolls and cowgirl boots!!

Valley Trip 2010 (2)

Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, back in November, we went down to McAllen to go to Jan's wedding and the beach and see all Julie's friends. Now, in December, we are posting the pictures of our trip to the beach house and the Brownsville zoo.

Valley Trip 2010

We finally made it to the Valley again this month. Julz loves going home, we just don't get to go very often. It was a great trip, thanks Jan, for giving us a great reason to go home!

Its definitely been a baby factory for the last few years!

Well...Its October Already

Good grief, its almost November. Will somebody slow down the calender already! We have had all kinds of fun this month, the girls are learning new things everyday, and Addison is growing by leaps and bounds. It has been fun and frustrating to adjust to our new life everyday.

Maegan learning to potty

'I want to eat your chin!!!'

What a big girl holding her sister (Maegan)

I told you we were learning all kinds of new things. Sadie learned that she can feed her monkey like mommy feeds the baby.
