Planning outfits

Halle loves to plan outfits lately. Last night I went into her room to check on her before bed. She was asleep, but this outfit is what was laying on her floor. I thought it was cute how it was laid out with accessories and all! This girl has such style :). 

Bowling!

These two finally filled up their warm fuzzy jar (aka good behavior jar) and earned their goal of going bowling. It was a fun Saturday morning activity with our oldest two. Love these little sillies!

Holding both babies!

Halle wanted to hold both babies at once. She did it! I was pretty impressed! That's not easy to do even for me! She is such a good big sister and is so sweet with these babies. I know I've said it before many times, but she is such a good helper! I love my sweet Halle girl so much and don't know what I would so without her!

Loyal pooch

I've been a little frustrated with this pooch lately...barking and waking up the babies after I spend a half hour getting them down, running out the front door so I have to chase her down the street in my pjs, jumping on the table eating food off uncleared dishes, the list goes on! But then something like this happens and I think...aw, I guess she is pretty cute. Halle's been sick so I let her sleep in and Milly has been beside herself pacing and standing outside Halle's door all morning waiting for her to come out! She loves Luke and Halle. Then at Luke's parent teacher conference last week the teachers showed me some writing assignments he had done and more than half of them were about Milly and how your dog always loves you no matter what. And a couple days ago Asher was inside sleeping in his bouncer chair and Cory was outside holding Avery and Millu was out there and he heard Asher start to cry inside and Milly looked up at Cory and then raced in the house. When Cory got in Milly was standing next to Asher like she was there to comfort him and then leaned over and licked his face (kind of gross but cute at the same time!) And then I remember..oh yeah, this is why we have a dog! I guess we'll have to keep her. Don't ask me tomorrow though...that could be a different story! ;)

Pretty princess

The other night I had lots of fun escorting this pretty princess to the new Cinderella movie. We went with our next door neighbors Elise and her mom Brittany and had a little girls night out. Halle and Elise dressed up. It was lots if fun and Halle of course looked beautiful!

Green eggs and ham dinner #2

Our second green eggs and ham dinner in the past week. The kids had their friends Brennan and Elise from next door over for it tonight. "I like green eggs and ham! I do, I like them Sam I am!"

Best big sister

Halle is such a good big sister. She has been so helpful with the babies and loves them so much! Whenever they are crying she gets their binkies and does whatever she can to help me get them settled down. 

This morning I was trying to get both babies down for a nap and they were both crying. Halle shared her favorite blanket and bunny with Asher and rocked his cradle to help get him settled down. She is so great and has such a tender heart!

Green Eggs and Ham dinner

Grandma Dixie has been staying with us for the past few days helping with the babies. Last night, Sunday night, Grandpa Dave, Booie and Will, and Kyle drove up to stay for a couple nights. Luke and Halle were so excited for them to come. 

A few days earlier we had gotten a box set if Dr Seuss books and the kids LOVE the book Green Eggs and Ham. It was Dr Seuss week at school so both kids had been talking about Dr Seuss all week. Luke loves the book so much that right after the books got delivered to us he took the book out and read it all on his own all the way through without me even asking him to or encouraging him along. He's grown into such a good reader! Then Luke and Halle took the books and started making up all sorts of fun games with them. 

Because of the book, all weekend the kids wanted to have green eggs and ham to eat. Grandma Dixie had already brought up a big ham to have for Sunday dinner for when all the others got here, so we told the kids we could make green eggs to have with it and have a green eggs and ham. 

The kids were so exited for our green eggs and ham dinner. Halle got the table all set up with flowers at each persons spot. Luke decided he would read the book Green Eggs and Ham out loud while everyone ate. So everyone got here and we had our green eggs and ham dinner. Everyone was very impressed with Halle's lovely table decorating and Luke's brilliant story reading, and of course, everyone loved the green eggs and ham. 

Cute girl

I'm convinced they don't come any cuter than this :). 

Star Wars love

It's the second night in a row that Luke let Halle borrow his Darth Vader pj shirt.  That's true love :). 

President Halle

Both Luke and Halle did some fun Presidents Day projects we've had hanging in our kitchen the past few weeks since Presidents Day.

Awesome Grandma

Grandma Lori has been coming every day since I had the twins to help out! I don't know what I would do without her! She loves my kids so much and I am so grateful to have her help and have another person around that loves them so much that is able to help me take care of them. We are so blessed to have her!

Baby Boo Boo the bug

For preschool Halle had a homework assignment to make up her own insect. She got very creative with it and had a lot to say about Baby Boo Boo the bug.
