Blue

Bella decided not to take a nap today, so I sent them downstairs to the playroom while I put Ty down for a nap. A short while later, they came upstairs looking like this... ...not even sure where they even found the blue marker, as the markers are banned to the top of the refrigerator. Seriously...they were head to toe covered, hands, legs, bellies, bottoms...

Double Trouble.

Lily

Just a couple more from my late afternoon with Miss Lily...

A fun little 5x15 collage...

...or a 10x20 collage...

Dentist

The girls had their dentist appointment today...and they both did fabulous!! First was Olivia's turn, and Bella watched her the whole time... ...next up was Bella's turn, and she did such a GREAT job!! Last time we went, she was very nervous and hesitant, but today she opened her mouth wide for the whole thing...

Lily

I took sweet Lily's pictures today, late this afternoon...she didn't want a whole lot to do with my camera, lol, and made me work!! I'll be going through a bunch tomorrow...but wanted to share this one, as I love it...

Lazy day

We love lazy Sundays....hanging around the house. Ty loves hanging out on the floor now that he's sitting, I still put the boppy around him in case he tumbles over....

6 months

My little man is 6 months old today...and I don't know how that happened!! He is the happiest, most smiley baby....and is getting so big, so fast!! He's sitting up on his own now, though he will topple over every now and again....he endures sooo much at the hands of his big sisters (mainly Bella)...and smiles through most of it...

Ty

Guess who's going to be 6 months old tomorrow?

Olivia

Olivia offered to let me take her picture today during naptime (while Bella and Ty napped)! I wanted to try this setup with a bigger kid (bigger than Ty, anyways), so it worked out perfectly....

I can't get over how long her hair is getting (and she neeeeeever wants to cut it)...

Lexi and Princess

Princess is actually Olivia's pet (do you really think Lexi would name an animal Princess, lol??)....but Lexi was holding her tonight, and Princess was in camera mode, lol...

Brotherly Love

Bella torturing...ummmm, I mean loving....her baby brother...

Teddies on a shelf

A shelf full of teddy bears...

Little monkey

My little monkey has been constantly sticking his tongue out lately...I don't know if he just discovered it, but it makes me laugh...

Sleepover

Olivia is going on a sleepover tonight....over to Nana's house. She attempted it about a year ago, though that night Daddy had to pick her up around 11pm, because she couldn't do it. I think she'll make it tonight....she has been giddy with excitement since she got up this morning!!
She's got her pillow, and ready to go...

Lexi

When Lexi was 5, I told her she had to wear green because it was St. Patrick's Day....her reply to me was, 'I don't need to wear green, I will wear my freckles'...I think of it EVERY year on St. Patty's Day...

Happy St. Patricks Day!

From my favorite little leprechaun...on his very first St. Patricks Day...

Irish girls

We have the sweet (who completely poses herself)...

...and we have the spunky!

Irish guy

I meant to do the girls pictures today, but time got away from me due to the nice weather! Soooo...tomorrow we'll be doing the girls St. Patricks Day pictures!

Lil' Leprechaun

Gosh, I love this little Irish boy (doesn't he sit up well for only being 5 months old?)....

I wasn't sure if this hat was 'girly', or just 'irish-y', lol...

Goofy girl

Bella being goofy in the tubby, with her soapy beard...

And one of Olivia looking cute in the tub...

Sleepy boy

I love it when Ty sleeps with his mouth wide open...it makes the girls giggle...

More of Ty

A couple more of Ty from the other day...
Gosh, I love his chunky little bum...

Coffee, anyone?

LOL....

My little bubba sure does love his tubby time!

Babylegs

I took pictures of Ty today, with his little argyle babylegs...love his smile. :)

I still have more to go through! My goal is to have a little photoshoot with him at least once a week for his first year...babies change so much in a year!

Late day bike ride

We are itching for Spring....it was fairly nice out today (40's)....the snow is melting, so its super sloppy outside, but Olivia wanted to go for a bike ride. Dressed in her snowpants/boots....and off we went!

Livs and Ty

We got home from dance today, and Olivia asked if she could hold Ty. He was hamming it up with her, so I had to take pictures of them standing in front of the couch...

Pokemon

Lexi has been waiting and waiting for the release of the Pokemon Black and White game...so today we went and stood in line at Gamestop (you would NOT believe the SIZE of the line for this game)...and Lexi got her game! Luckily we got there early, and were in the front of the line!

Zoe

We've had Zoe for about 12 years....and 2 years ago we found out that Lexi's allergic to cats (after having 2 cats her entire life). I swear, that since finding out about the allergy, Zoe is more drawn to Lexi than before...and in the winter months, when she's not going outside, she can be found curled up in Lexi's bed, snuggling with Lexi as she's reading a book, or playing with her Ipod.

And Zoe has a thing about licking, lol...I think she's part dog...

Luckily, for whatever reason, Lexi doesn't seem to get her itchy swollen eyes around Zoe (thank goodness)!

A little better

Well, Bella's feeling a little better today...better enough to torture her brother a little, lol, using her stickers from the doctors office...

Po' Boo

My poor little Bella boo...after a long 2 hour doctors appointment (flu swab, strep test, breathing treatment, and a steroid shot in the leg)...it was discovered that Bella has RSV. 104 temperature....and some trouble breathing, my poor Bella is having a tough day. Accidentally discovered that Olivia has an ear infection (doctor was showing Bella that looking in ears didn't hurt, and looked in Olivia's ears to show her)....so we got antibiotics for Livs, too.
Hoping tonight goes smoother for my girl, and that she is able to breathe easily as she sleeps...
