Chip

Yesterday Marlee fell off a chair and hit the tile. Now she has a chipped front tooth. It looks ridiculous! Why do my kids have to mess up their teeth? Why cant they just get a bruise or something when they fall?

P.S. please excuse the messy face and the little boogy in the nose.

Panty Girl!

Its bedtime on day #1 of Marlee wearing pantys all and and I am very happy to say that she has not had any accidents! Wooohooo!

two

Marlee Just turned two. The above pic is when we were singing to her she has this new thing she does where she holds her fingers like that and moves her arms up and down. I dont know if shes leading the music or dancing or what, but its funny.

She was so excited for her cake (made by Josh, delicious). She asked for cake from the time she woke up until she finally got it.

she got a cool train from Gram and Gramps Stewart.

We got her one of those sets with all the babydoll stuff. She loves it and the best part is that we found it on clearance for 10 bucks at wally world.

Her fave things to say lately are to ask everybody (over and over again) "whatchyer doin?" and "whats yer name?" but its funny cause she will says like "Josh, whats yer name?"
She LOVES jumping on trampolines and playing playdough, and she is slightly obsessed with having everyone trace her hand with the crayons.
She also a big fan of You Tube, she likes stella stellina, hippo and dog, Volevo un gatto nero, and Charlie bit my finger.

She is now 25 pounds and 31 inches. Thats all I can think of right now. so, yeah. The end.

Jackson Lake

Yesterday we decided to take a drive and head over to Jackson Lake.

It was nice. Very pretty. A little chilly, but not too bad.

I had them sit on this log and take a pic...

And then we had to take a pic of every kid on every log.

Then we had a little excitment as we were leaving. There was a mama black bear and her 2 cubs crossing the road.

Heres the mama, she started heading up the mountain and then looked back at the little ones still across the road,

and then she went back to tell them to hurry their butts up and get across the road. There were quite a few people stopped to look and take pics with their papparazzi style cameras. good times.

Why you shouldn't leave makeup in a low drawer

Marlee got into the mascara yesterday. Pretty gorgeous.

She was so proud of herself.

That is until I showed her the first 2 pictures. You should have seen the look of shock and disappointment on her face I laughed so hard. Not exactly what she thought she had done.

Here is after I cleaned off all that I could. Her sisters were sooo jealous! They kept telling me that she looked so pretty with the mascara.

Mud Season

Spring around here is also known as Mud Season (sometimes it is more like Winter Continued). We went outside to play on Friday and I asked the kids to please not get too muddy.
Marlee of course didnt obey at all. The other girls did far better, but were still a mess.

The pants had a hard time staying up with all
that crap on them.

Such a joy to clean up!

But, I am happy to report that most of the snow has now melted and we have had 4 warm days in a row!

One Fishy

Callie went ice fishing for the first time with her Dad and Grandpa Stewart yesterday on Jackson Lake. She had a good time and caught her first fish.Nice Job Cal. (please excuse the hobo hair, they left the house at 5am.)
