Fun at the Park

Well, the pictures below are a mix of some I took at the park and then some I've taken around the house. First, for those of you who are still wondering, Maggie "passed" the hair clip successfully on Monday. Yay! I will say that last night, after I arrived at church, I went to get her out of her car seat and the rubber band I had put in her hair was gone and I thought "not again!" She had pulled it out of her hair, but I found it in the car. Whew! On to the pictures...

Here's a shot of Maggie in a dress she wore last Sunday. I may use this as her Christmas picture... We went to the park yesterday with my friend Karen and her two little girls...Here's Hope on the monkey bars (is that what those are??)

Another shot of Hope, grinning like her mama.

Jacob going down the slide.

Little Violet hamming it up for the camera.

Jacob stopping to give me a quick smile : )

Well, maybe I found a new way to keep Maggie's hair out of her face without causing bodily harm...what do you think?

Metal doesn't digest very well...

Well, Maggie ate a hair clip yesterday. Yes, you read right. Below you'll see a picture of her x-ray showing the clip in her stomach. We're currently waiting for it to make it's "exit" back into the world. Here's a shot of Jacob playing at a friend's house. He loved this little car garage. The elevator went up and down and he was fascinated by that.

I gave Maggie a bowl of applesauce to play with while I cleaned up the kitchen. A few minutes later I realized that she had bitten through the lid and was sucking out the sauce. Crazy girl.

Maggie was a little apprehensive of the Johnny Jump Up...but she did end up enjoying it.

Fun at home

Some of the latest pictures...

Here is my nephew Dylan, otherwise known as the biggest baby I know...looks like he's thinking "what you talking 'bout Willis!" Jacob is constantly playing with his magnadoodle...drawing the veggie tales characters. He can now add facial elements, such as eyes, nose and a mouth. Yes, we're impressed too.

Here's Maggie sporting a new 'do. This was my effort to keep her hair from collecting snot during the night since she has had a cold the last few days. I think it is cute.

Jacob is enjoying jumping on the bed while wearing his new Handy Manny t-shirt.

Another pic of Maggie...this time sporting a new outfit...sooooo cute.

Fun Outside

I took some pictures of the kids yesterday while waiting for Brent to get home from work.

The prettiest girl on the block... Future singer...

Her favorite pasttime - sticking out her tongue.

Jacob trying to carry 3 balls at once.

Jacob showing the fine art of catching a ball. Step one: get hands ready.

Step two: Keep your eye on the ball.

Step three: Catch it and squeal with happiness.

It also helps to have the best pitcher in town.

Two Cuties

It's been a while since my last post and I don't have a great excuse...sorry. Below are some recent pictures of the kids. Maggie will be 9 months this week (I'm in shock that her first birthday is coming up). Jacob is talking up a storm and saying the funniest things. They're a blast!
