Well, long time no post! The girls are keeping me busy and crazy! We are having a lot of fun getting ready for Christmas. Morgan asks every day if Santa will be coming tonight. She yells at me to "come here right now" every time a commercial with a toy is on t.v. so I can see what she wants for Chrstmas, which due to great advertising is mostly the Pillow Pet. Miranda loves to take the ornaments off the tree and then pull the hooks off the ornaments. Miranda just graduated to a "big girl" bed... I had enough of her climbing out of her crib, it is not nearly as dangerous to climb out of bed!

Morgan's First Day of Preschool

Morgan started preschool last week. She loves it. It is only Thursday and Friday for 2 hours but we both enjoy that time. Her favorite part of school is snack time... oh brother!

New Home

After not having my girls for 9 days to get things done to the new house and then move we were all back together in time for my birthday. Having them home was the best birthday present ever. 9 days is too long. Miranda looked like a different kid and she acted like she didn't know me for a minute. We are all settled in and it is back to our "normal".

My Tribute to the Best Neighbors Ever!

The Nemmers were one of a kind neighbors that we all will/do truly miss. They have great kids and bonded with ours. We are so glad to have had them as our neighbors and forever as friends!

The Peosta Gang

Morgan had some great friends in our old neighborhood, they are all going to be very missed. She is making friends at our new home and seems to be adjusting very well. She does ask about all the kids quite often.

Collin and Paige

The McClintocks came to see us one last time in Iowa. The kids had so much fun together, well at least they did once Miranda went down for a nap. We will sure miss having them so close.

Girls

Smile pretty!
Nutella Anyone!?!?

My first sucker and I liked it!

Face painting at a little "carnival" in the HyVee parking lot!

Sisterly love....

A Few Fun Photos

Miranda wore her hair in a ponytail for the first time yesterday. Too bad it fell out in her carseat so no one but Mommy got to see it. It was really cute. Even Morgan insisted on having hers put up after seeing her little sister's. Morgan is getting a little better about letting me do her hair. It is still is not a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

Miranda is faking like she is watching a movie or listening to music. That would have made our lives too easy. She doesn't have time for that!

The girls had a long car ride to and from their new house on Friday. They did well considering we drove for 3 hours to look at our house, eat lunch and then we headed right back home.

Silly Girls

The girls are changing daily. We have a lot of laughs with these two. They are all personality. They are a handful but I wouldn't change anything!

Miranda is mastering the art of walking in heels. Her Daddy is scared! My girls are shoe fanatics. "Shoes" is one of Miranda's favorite words. She will pick out shoes and make me put them on her. If she can only find one she runs around yelling "uh oh" searching for the other one. Very Cute!

Morgan and Miranda can be so darn funny. Miranda has to decide when she wants to do it, you obviously can't force her but she will walk up and just give her sister big kisses and hugs. I didn't catch it as you can tell. Miranda is really starting to talk she says words like; cheese, please, knock knock, thank you, daddy, mommy, caddy, naughty naughty, and no no. She calls Morgan daddy. Oh well. I have been working on Sissy but it isn't sticking.

Just like my big sister

Morgan has a Wii game and Miranda has to do everything her sister does. Instead of Miranda shoving Morgan off the Wii fit bored we got her to believe that a princess cart tray did the same thing. Luckily Ema and Papa were here to witness the whole thing.

Friends

We had some great friends come to visit in the last couple of months. Kristen, Madelyn, & Mateo came from AZ and they Dyan and Paige were here as well. We had a great time. It is scary how much our children act like their moms.

Erika, Jeff and Kendall were here at the beginning of June. They just got to stay one night but we managed to have some fun. Morgan is working on her dizzy doll status.

Miranda's First Birthday

Wow, times flies! These are some pictures of little Miranda's first birthday. She likes cake!
