Katie

Paige

So Friday Paige turns 5!!!! I am so impressed at how much she has grown this year. She has finally started drawing pictures instead of sqiggles. She can read now, thanks to her mommy. She loves to cook, just like her mommy. She will do chores, but only if I am doing them with her. She doesn't take naps anymore and loves to help with chores if I threaten her to go upstairs by herself ( =) ) . I love the little person she is becoming, although she is a DRAMA QUEEN!! Happy Birthday little girl!!!

So I saw this picture and my heart swelled. This is MY family =) I created 3 of them myself and I got quite a catch on the fourth. The dog is just new and such a good family dog. She really is an outside dog, but we let her in to play with the kids at night. And yes my house is dirty!! As always, UGH!!

EARS PIERCED!!!

OK, so it took a long time, and katie mutilating her hair, for John to say it was alright if I got the girls' ears pierced. As soon as John said, " I'm not going to stop you if you want to do it." I rushed out that day to get it done. Paige was upset with me that day saying that she wished I had never "stapled" her ears. (LOL) But I gave her some tylenol when we got home and she loved them once it kicked in. Katie on the other hand was very brave and didn't make a peep. She was a little more difficult to get her to put the solution on her ears, but she's fine now.

Joey and Missy

Joey loves the dog, when she's not knocking him down that is. He loves to feed her. He will go into the laundry room and throw food at her. He even can say her name as clear as day. He's such a cute guy.

Fun in the snow

I know these pictures are old, but I haven't had time to post.

Here is the family having fun making a snow man. Joey even gave the girls the cookies to put on the snowman.
