FINALLY!!

I know this picture isn't super cute or anything, in fact, it's kinda funny looking, but Mali rolled over for the first time last night (December 28th). We were at our friend's house and Chris and Mali were playing on the floor. Chris put Mali on her tummy and she finally rolled for the first time! I saw it out of the corner of my eye so Chris put her on her tummy again and sure enough, she rolled again! Well, of course I had to break out my camera and she wouldn't do it again - isn't that how it always happens?! So, anyway, I just took a picture of her so I could have a record of it! Way to go my big girl!

Family...

Cousin Molly!

My cousin Amy, her husband Dave, and their two girls came to visit after Christmas. Their daughter Molly and B are the same age and she came over to play. Here are a few pics of the girls playing together - funny how they are in princess dresses - different dresses - in every picture! Girls are so fun!!

Christmas 2007 - Nana and Posh's house

Here are a few pics of us opening gifts at Nana and Papa Josh's house (aka Posh and ApaJosh). We definitely had a great time! Thanks for spoiling our kids!!!





































We got to be the cool aunt and uncle this year and we got Jessica a phone for her room - we think she liked it!

Christmas 2007 - Our House

More pictures of us opening gifts at our house Christmas morning! I posted these backwards so you'll have to read the next two blogs first for this to be funny - well, Chris decided to try on B's new Hannah Montana wig and we thought he looked fabulous!!

Christmas 2007 - Our House

More pics of us opening gifts at our house Christmas morning. B got a real digital camera so she can take pictures of her own! B also got to open Mali's gifts (for the first and only Christmas!) and Mali waited so patiently!

Christmas 2007 - Our House

This is us opening gifts Christmas morning at our house. B has always wanted long hair so Grammy got her a Hannah Montana wig - I think she's worn it every day since!

Just too cute!

Mali was waiting patiently to go to church and Braidyn gave her a pony to play with - well, she decided it would be more fun to eat the pony's head instead!

Bath Time!

Mali loves bath time! Sorry for the explicit pics - hey, she's only 5 months old!





















This is the life!

This is how princesses sleep....

Princess Belle

Jessica, Hailey, and Maddy graciously handed down their beloved Belle dress and Braidyn couldn't be more excited! She wore it the very next day - all day - and decided to get in Mali's swing - we're surprised it didn't break! Little goober!!

2007 Ornaments

Every year we get new ornaments for the kids. This year we got Mali a "First Christmas" ornament and B got a Cinderella one! Here is the annual ornament hanging in action!

Dora Birthday Party

Braidyn was invited to a Dora Birthday Party this past weekend and it was SO much fun! She got to meet Dora and they went on an adventure to find Payton's birthday treasure!

The Map told them to go to the Playroom, over the Bridge, and then to the Garage. They had to use Backpack when they needed some tape to pin the birthday hat on Dora. They ran into the grumpy old Troll under the bridge and had to do a silly dance in order to cross over the bridge. They even ran into Swiper and he swiped Dora's birthday hat!

We found the Birthday Treasure!!

It was a Dora pinata filled with all sorts of treasures! When the swinging wasn't effective they decided to pull ribbons - that did it! All of the treasure fell out and B walked away with a fabulous reward!

What a fun time - definitely the best kid's birthday party I've ever been to!! Thanks Jay and Jessica for such a great time! And, Happy Birthday Payton!!
