Picture Overload....Sucky Blogger!

We have had SO much going on and I totally forget to update the blog for um...two months!! I am a horrible blogger. Without further ado here are some of our activities from the last two months :)

Me and my sweet girls!

J, Wynnie and L going to see the play

"Meet me in St. Louis".  They were all so great and loved getting dressed up!

Sweet girls sliding at the park!

Wynnie trying on my dress boots :)

Sam took Wynn to "Daddy Date Night" at a local church.  The theme was "On the Ranch" (note the saddle and stuff in the back).  They had so much fun and Wynnie LOVED having a special night with daddy!

Swinging!  Love that we have two parks in our neighborhood and have had some beautiful days so far this winter/spring!

Auden is getting so big :/

Big sister had to take a turn too

Pigtailia!

Watching the trains at Easton with our friends Kelly and Shaun on a beautiful, sunny day!

Easter egg hunt at our church!

Our little Golden Girl dressed up at Gigi's house

Their new bunny masks :)

Swinging on the porch swing at Grandma and PapPap's house before Jessie's baby shower!  LOVE Auden's cheese face.

We got pictures taken of the girls with live bunnies and I thought they were both going to smuggle one home.  They both just about squeezed the stuffins out of them!  Can't wait to get those pics :) 

Auden girl's crazy Cheese face!!

Kiddo Update....Auden is 19 Months and Wynn is Four Years and Four Months!

My girls are growing up so quickly :(  While is makes me so happy to have healthy children they are just growing up too fast for my liking!  There have been so many new, fun things in the last month I thought I would update on both girls.

Auden - 19 Months
- Says SO many new words that I can't even write them all but here are some of her faves:
NO
Mine
Good Girl
Eenie (Wynnie)
Mommy
Daddy
You two (of course this was said in exasperation by mommy and then promptly repeated)
baby
night night
shoe
Barbie (this is Barney AND Elmo!)

She's also:
- Sleeping 11 hours at night
- Taking one 1.5 hour per day (in the afternoon)
- Does NOT eat well (she's teething)

Still a Skinny Minnie!

Auden had her 18 month appt. on Friday and is still on track to be our little supermodel. :)  Here are her stats:

Weight: 20 lbs. 8 0z. (5-10th percentile)
Height:  32 inches (75th percentile)

Pedi says she's totally on track with her hearing, speech and developmental milestones.  She only gained 4 oz. between her 16 month appt. (for a weight check, lol) and her 18 month appt.  She said that she has been in those same percentiles since she was about 1 month old consistently so her growth is consistent and she's just a skinny kid.  She was not thrilled that she had to get two shots but after she got a good scream out she was fine.  Honestly that was pretty much it...thank goodness there is nothing to report. :)

After her appt. mom and I took the girls to see Santa.  Wynn has never been afraid or skittish with Santa until this year.  Her 4 year birthday brought on quite a few new fears.  She wasn't ready to cry by any means but she was definitely more hesitant with him then she ever was before. Auden was in love with him and kept yelling "SANTA" and giggling....until we sat her on his lap and then she wasn't so in love. :) 

There's a Baby in a Manger...Oh my Lord!

Wynn had her preschool Christmas pageant tonight and it was SO cute!!!!  She did great and managed to lift her dress up and pick her nose multiple times during the program. :)  We LOVE her preschool!  They do such a fantastic job with the kids and everything there revolves around Jesus and the kiddos.  It's fantastic and we are so blessed to have found such an amazing preschool. 

Their songs were absolutely darling.  Here are two of her faves...Here and Here

Wynnie and the Geej

Mama and Wynners

Proud papa and the Beanie

This was the second she spotted me in the audience and yelled "Hi Mama!!!"

Happy Fall Y'all!

I have been a major bloggin slacker lately. WOW. We've had so much going on this month that it has really slipped my mind. I'm going to squeeze a few things into my fall update because of that. Considering Christmas is less than a month away I will have our Christmas updates coming soon enough. :)

Thanksgiving was wonderful! We spent it at Sam's parents house with lots of family and the girls had a ball. They really enjoyed spending time with their cousins and Grandma and Pappap.

Pitching in before dinner :)

Hanging out with Pap Pap and cousin Kaylie

A few weeks back mom and I took the girls to a Christmas Bazaar at a local Catholic elementary school. The girls had a really good time. Wynnie got her face painted (she picked a flower) and also go to decorate and then eat a Christmas sugar cookie. :) We also got to be Santa and Mrs. Claus! 

Last but not least we decorated our Christmas tree on Sunday!  The girls had such a good time!  It was so fun to have on our Christmas music and watch them ooh and aah when we turned the lights on.  We've always had white lights but this year we decided it would be more fun for the girls to do colored lights so that's what we did.  When we turned it on Wynn said "Wow it's so beautiful!" and Auden started squealing and laughing. :)  Sam helped Wynn put the star on the treetop and she was so proud of herself.  Auden just keeps walking up to it and giggling!

Helping Daddy put on the star!

Our Wedding Ball from Disney World on our honeymoon :)

Love this little stinker!

Halloween 2011

Halloween this year was such a fun experience! Auden is old enough to eat candy this year and Wynnie LOVED trick or treating!  :)  She ran ahead of all the other kids and was so eager to get to that next house with the porch light on.  Our neighborhood had TONS of trick or treaters.  Quite the change from the first year we lived there (7 years ago) when noone had kids.  What fun! 

Wynn asked this entire year to be Tom and Jerry for Halloween so I had to make that happen in a girly way.  :)  I ended up making tutu dresses for both girls and although they were cute they were a pain in the rear. They constantly get tangled up, need fluffed, etc.  Needless to say I won't be doing those next year. :) 

 Wynnie the Tom Cat

The Cousins!  Auden, Wynn, Joe and Lizzie

 Mouse Kisses :)

"Jerry"

Tom and Jerry!

A few days before Trick or Treat we had a Pumpkin Carving Party at Samantha's with a bunch of our neighborhood friends. We did this last year too and the kids loved it so we kind of wanted to start it as a tradition. The kids (and adults!) had a ball. :)

Fall Days...School Days

Wynn had her pumpkin patch field trip with her preschool yesterday and had so much fun!  I wasn't able to leave work so Daddy took her and I'm so happy that they got to spend that special time together.  They had so much fun!  She had a little lesson in the barn all about pumpkins and gourds and then they each got to pick out an ear of Indian corn.  They took a hayride and picked out their own little pumpkins too.  What a fun, fall day!

Wynn has had such a great year so far at school.  She is learning and growing so much each day!  She surprised us with the Pledge of Allegiance last week and I had to get it on video.  She rocks. :)

Click here to see her recite it!  Today is her Tailgating party so she's wearing her Buckeye Cheerleading Outfit and they are making trail mix in her class!  They're doing an outfit parade at lunchtime so I'm going to make the trek out there to see her. :)

My sweet girls :)
