WE love it when we get to see our cousins!

 

What Have we been up to you may ask?

 

My dear crazy Sydnee has been keeping us on our toes thats for sure. She is learning so much so fast and it is crazy. She weighs a whopping 25 pounds so she is still I light weight, but she sure is big to us. She is little miss mommy to Dawson and she loves it. Sometimes it is helpful, but not all the time. She is such a sweet girl and is now loving animals. We have some very very nice horses that graze right by our apartment so she absolutely loves going down that and talking to them, singing to them, and just watching them. It's fun to watch her interact with the horses. She is defiantely stubborn though. Everything has to be on her time (or so she thinks). She not always the best listener, but all in all she is such a sweet girl, that makes us laugh and so happy. She is our sweet stubborn little girl. The other day she wanted to do Dawson's hair so I quietly watched her as she gently combed and brush his hair. Well I then thought to myself "Wow she is being to gentle with him, why not go and load the dish washer". Note to self never leave a 2 1/2 year old alone with your 8 month baby boy when she has doing hair on her mind. Because all of a sudden I got this feeling to go check on the kids, because they were being a little too quiet or should I say Syd was being a little too quiet because as soon as I came around the corner Syd had this evil look in her eyes and her dull bladed scissors in her hand heading toward Dawson's hair. Luckily no one was hurt and I caught her just before she could have chopped off a chunk of my poor little guys hair. Dawson thought is was great though and let's just say that her scissors and all scissors are in a very high place that she can't get to. EVER! Syd also loves to walk around the house pantless. Don't ask me why because when I ask her why she just shruggs her shoulders and says "I cool mommy, I just cool." Need I say more? She also loves to mimmick everything and anything we say and do. Or whatever she by chance could have seen on the TV. For example, crossing of the legs; I cross my legs all the time so she thinks she has to. These next examples are not from something that we have done, but are from something that we were watching on the tv, but didn't know were on becuase she turned the tv on herself while I was taking a shower. She has picked up on smoking from her crayons. Which by the way we put a stop to it immediatly when we realized what she was doing. And last, but not least she made out with the fridge because that is was Joey and Rachel were doing on friends, so naturally she thought she would give a try with the fridge. Yeah that was pretty funny, but we also put a quick stop to that also. She is crazy, but oh so much fun!

 

 

Dawson is growing like crazy! He now weighs 18 lbs 10 oz. 27 1/4 inches long and his head circumference in 17 1/2. The doctor says he is perfectly in proporsion. He is so much fun. He loves to laugh and giggle at anyone. He hardly fusses during the day unless he is tired or hungry and mommy hasn't seen the ealier cues. He is not the best sleeper, but he is getting better. Sydnee and him have been in the same room for sleeping arrangements for awhile now and it's getting better. Dawson is not crawling yet, but he has gotten on all fours without face planting it a couple of times. He is just a lazy and chill kid and his entertainment comes to him and it's Sydnee. He talks all the time and he loves loves to eat. He will eat anything that give him. He is such a good little eater which I really hope he stays that way. He loves his big sister still. What more can we ask for we have some awesome and dang cute kids :o)

Cute hair for Valentines Day

I absolutely love having a girl that will let me do her hair. I expirament all the time on her hair and most of the time it tuns out pretty cute. This hair do was two different hair styles merged into one. If you can't tell I made hearts out of the pigtails and criss-crossed the back. I got tons of complements at church. Syd looked so beautiful with her red dress and black heart bow. It's so fun having a girl!!

 

 

 

My dear sweet Sydnee

 

Syd wanted to watch for her friend Sarah to come over so she insisted to stand on the window sill. She was so cute she kept saying over and over "Sarah!! Come over and play Sarah! Come quick!" Her and Sarah get a long so well. We love it when Sarah comes over to play.

 

This picture was taken in curtasy of Brandon's brothers, Travis and Radlee. Syd shows butt crack at all possible costs. Not on purpose of course, but I guess that is the price you pay for having a potty trained toddler.

Some cute ones

I just thought I would post some pictures of my cute little guy. Dawson is growing like crazy. He eats like a true boy and pounds the food down. He is such a happy chill baby and loves to laugh and make funny faces. He loves to watch his big sister dance and be silly. He makes the funniest noises and love it when you sing to him. He truly is an amazing kid!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two cute Kids

Before I begin I would just like to say that I promise I do get my kids dressed everyday and I do get my girls hair done also. Apparently these were days that were very slow going and lazy. I love how my kids get along so well together. Syd is so caring and loving to her little brother and Dawson absolutely adores his big sister. We are so lucky and blessed.

 

 

 

Cuddly Bug

The other day Dawson woke up from his nap and Brandon happened to be home so I gave Dawson to him. I went to go check on something and came back to Dawson cuddling with his Daddy. It was so sweet and precious. I am so grateful to have a husband that is so attentive and loves his kids so much! I sure love my boys!!

 

 

 

 

The matching duo

For Bekah's baby shower before Carter or Dawson was born I got them matching outfits minus the color and we finally got them together and took pictures. I'm glad I chose the blue one for Carter because of his blue eyes and Dawson's for his redish orangeish hair. Oh they are so CUTE!!

At the beginning of January we all got the opportunity to meet my amazing and beautiful cousin Katie's two adorable kids. It was so much fun they played games and we tried to get a successful picture of all of them. Well, atleast they were all in the picture, right? Katie it was so good to see you, your awesome husband, and finally meet your oh so cute little ones.
