My Little Gold Metalist

Wyatt's preschool class learned about the olympics this week, and to finish the week off, they held their own olympics. It was so cute. They each got a t-shirt with their names on the back, and all of them made a torch and a flag. They all came walking in holding up their torches and flags, and then did cute little competitions. After each of them got to stand up on a platform and receive a gold metal. Wyatt did a great job. It was fun to go and watch him.

Photographer in the Making

McKartnee brought me the camera this morning and said "here mommy". Then she kept saying "See my picture". Wyatt and McKartnee both love to see pictures that we have taken, so I thought that is what she was talking about. When I turned the camera on to show her, this is what I found. Somehow she figured out how to turn the camera on, take some pictures, and then turn it off again. Not bad for a two year old right?

Girls Night Out

One of my good friends from out here, Liz Hawkins, is moving to California. We had our last girls night out with her last weekend. We went to Maggiano's a really good Italian restaurant. We waited for quite a while, and they couldn't clear two tables by each other, so they ended up putting us in a private room, which was fun. We all talked about our fun times with Liz. She is such a great person. It was a fun night, but I am sad to see her leave!

Matching Sweaters.

The kids got matching sweaters for Christmas, and I finally got around to having all of them wear them on the same day.

Who is smarter? Jimmy, although he hates math, and I love math and figuring puzzles out.

Who is more stubborn? definitely me. He is so good to apologize even when I should be the one doing it.

Who asked who out first? We were friends for so long first. I went back east to visit an old roommate, and stayed with his family for part of the trip. It was at the end of that trip that we decided we would date when Jimmy came back out to school. Long story short... We never really had a first date.

Who proposed? Jimmy did

Who has more friends? We both have a lot of friends, but I keep in touch more with mine than he does.

Who is more sensitive? I am for sure. Jimmy is a very stable person. He balances me out.

Face Lift

I figured that it was about time for a face lift, considering that Walker was not even in our other family picture. (I am quite the procrastinater) My good friend from out here is an amazing photographer. She is the one that did Walker's announcements. I always love the work that she does. Thanks for the pictures Virginia!! I added her website to the blog, you will have to check it out. She is the greatest!

A Human Tornado

HELP!!! I have a human tornado on my hands! We just cleaned their room yesterday. We have not even got ready for the day, and look at it. She pulls all of the books out of the book shelf, opens the drawers and pulls the clothes out, takes all of her shoes out of the closet, pulls the puzzles out and takes all of them apart, emptys off the changing table, etc. etc. I started putting some things up higher on the bookcase where she couldn't reach them, and you can see her solution to that. Now she gets the stool out of the bathroom, and empties more things off.
I wish that it were only her room that she demolishes, but it is my entire house. I spend my whole day cleaning up after her. As I am cleaning one of her huge messes up, she is making another one. She is constantly one step ahead of me. I try to have her help me clean it up, and she ends up pulling more things out. Does anybody have any advise? Wyatt was not the cleanest two year old, but he was nothing like the tornado. If you have any tips please send them my way. You may save McKartnee from being locked in a closet until she turns 3. J/K
