Thanksgiving Part I

I have a million pictures from Thanksgiving, but these where the only ones that will upload. So I don't get too behind here are just a few.

We had a great Thanksgiving. I told Dan that our kids are the luckiest girls in the world. We go to my parents house and there are tons of people there that love them and are excited to see them. And they get to play non-stop with their cousins. Then we go up to the Nicoll's and it starts all over again. They are the most loved little girls!

So that is what I am most thankful for this year.

Family!

I have husband who I adore.

I have great parents and parents-in-law.

And two girls that I love, love, love.

We went on our traditional morning walk, on Thanksgiving. I thought it would be too cold for Layne so we didn't bring her, but it ended up being really nice.

**hopefully more to come. I took tons of pictures!**

... has become Layne's nickname and she loves it. I haven't taken her to the doctor for a check-up in a while so I don't know all of her stats. But I do have a lot of pictures of my little sweet heart! So here is her 7 month update in pictures(a little late).

Cam took these pictures, she is into that right now.
I think she did a good job, and it is so cute how Layne just cheered right up for the photographer.

Just this week she discovered she can sit up! I think her pants were to tight for her belly to sit up.
She has turned into a big girl just this week. Sorry Dan. (I told him if she tried to sit up while he was gone I would just push her over :)

She thinks she wants to crawl, but can't figure it out. But she does a pretty great army crawl for right now.

She is such a sweet, quiet, lovable baby. But I think she will be just as busy as Camo.

One morning while I was exercising I couldn't see her anywhere. Cam and I went looking for her and saw this... She had crawled behind my mom's sectional and all we could see was her feet sticking out.

Of course she was as happy as he could be. Cam was really worried about her and wanted me to get her out!



We went to SJ last week to Grandma & Grandpa. This was the only picture I took, but it is a cute one.

Seriously so sweet!

I love love love this little girl. She is changing so much and turning into quite the busy body. I can't wait to see what the next few months bring for her, she is changing so fast.

It's that time of year

...for family picturtes!

Colleen took our family pictures this year and I think they turned out great! It is no easy task to get Camdyn to hold still and Layne to look at the camera. But she got a few good ones, even with the subjects she was given. This is my fave

Linde helped me edit them, and I am still playing around. Let me know what you think. I am trying to make our faces not looked so washed out.

any photoshop experts?

Playin' in the leaves

Grandma took the girls out today to fill up the wood box. Lowee was the only one who helped the other girls just played. But it was a great day to play in the leaves. Mary-kate posing for a picture as Grandma threw leaves at her.

Rope swing

These little girls play so good together. We have a few "donkey on the edge" moments, but they really do love each other.

I have a lot of random pictures on my camera. So why not blog them all?

My mom and dad hit a cow driving home from the game on Friday night. It left quite a mess on the side of the land barge! Talk about scaring the $h*t out of the poor cow!

One night Cam completely crashed while she was brushing her teeth.

My dad paid the girls to pick up apple under the tree. He paid them two dollars. As you can see Camdyn was just a little excited to have the money!

I told you these where random pictures. But that's our life right now.

A Little Random!

Halloween...finally

I am finally getting our Halloween pictures posted. It was nice to have daddy here with us. We did a little bit of trick or treating, some candy eating and a lot of dancing with our Cinderella.

Layne did not like her costume. She lasted about 5 minutes and then she was DONE! So she went to bed and we went Trick or Treating. Oh well! She didn't care. I am glad I bought her costume on clearance last year.

Sylvia was giving out the candy at Grandma Nicoll's, but she is on a diet....So she was chomping on a stick of celery while we enjoyed our candy. I thought it was funny! Who goes on a diet on Halloween???

Evidence

Today was one of those days when I realized Camdyn is growing up. It usually sneaks up on me and I think, "when did she get tall enough to open a door?" or "since when can she put on her own shoes?"

But today she has shown me she doesn't need to be with me all the time. This afternoon she told me she was going to the Hamblin's. She didn't ask, she told me. She marched right over and knocked on the door. (This is a big deal! I can't even go to the bathroom with out her crying outside the door!)

I went to get her and she actually started crying when I tried to get her to come with me. So she stayed... for over an hour! Rachel played with her for so long, she is such a nice girl.

Then tonight we went to Grammie and Grandpa's after dinner to visit. When it was time to go she wanted me to leave her there. Even though it was close to her bedtime I had to let her stay. I had to let her be a big girl.

Evidence that she doesn't need me as much as she used to. I feel like doing a dance and crying all at the same time. ;)

And what is a post without a picture? This is how I found her asleep the other night.

I Love this girl. It is fun being her mommy.
