Aliya Enjoying Adelyn's Presents!

Aliya had a great time sitting in a little chair that our good friends Margie and Carl got for Addy. She sits in it so well...as long as Addy doesn't see her and kick her out!

Adelyn is Three!

Today is Adelyn's birthday, but we celebrated it on Saturday with Family and close friends of the family. It was a lot of fun to see Adelyn get excited and realize that it was her birthday. Conner (her cousin) had a hard time letting her open her own presents!

Cinderelly Dress!

I have tried for the past three years to get Adelyn to like something girly and finally she does. She likes Cinderella (aka Cinderelly, Cinderelly, night and day Cinderelly! As Adelyn likes to call her)
This is a dress I got for Adelyn for her third Birthday. She is holding a Cinderella Barbie Auntie Kelcee got for her.
I win! Don't worry she still loves Thomas the Train...Derik got her a thomas shirt and she loved wearing it with her boots.

Seven Months old!

Here is Aliya's Seven month pics...Eight months is next week

so I will rey to keep up better. She is big enough now to sit up and eat those teething cookies! She loves to make messes with them.

Daddy and His Girls

I realized that I do not put many pictures of Derik up and I thought that you might like a few!

I really like the one of Derik sitting next to Aliya!

Six months old!

So I know that I have been neglecting this blog for a while now...I just forget and then run out of time.

I have such a great time reading all of your blogs that I do not have time to update my own.

Anyway this is as close to six months for Aliya as I could find. she was six months on Dec 28th. Ahh that was a long time ago!

Snow Days!

A Couple of weeks ago all the kids got out of school because there was a lot of snow accumulation and the wind was making drifts like crazy. My sister invited me and the girls to go to Leo's Place and play on the toys...we had a great time and Adelyn found a train!

Kids Say the Darndest Things!

Adelyn plays hide and seek and when she is ready she will yell "come found me MAMA I in the Chair!"

When Adelyn wants her sippy cup filled she will say "I need the sippy at the top of the Mountain"

When I asked Adelyn to do something she doesn't want to do do she says "I can't want to MAMA"

6/10/08 It was Derik's Birthday and we were taking him his birthday ballon. It was a really mindy day and the wind took the ballon right out of the car and Adelyn was really upset. Later that day she saw an airplane and the light just went on she said "we can get the balloon, mommy. Daddy can get in the airplane and go get the balloon!"

6/27/08 We were looking for a little toy of Adelyn's that we left in the car and I could not find it. She immediately told me that "Daddy can find it he has really big eyes!"

6/08 Anytime something breaks Adelyn tells me "it is okay daddy can fix it!" she loves her daddy!

6/30/08 After a long day with my two great girls I thought that I might srangle Adelyn and her constant demands. I was running upstairs for the 100th time and as I came back down Adelyn yelled "lookin good mama!" i don't know who she heard this from but it made me laugh and remember why I love to be a mommy!

9/29/08 I was showing Adleyn a picture of Derik and I when we graduated with our bachlors degrees. I was seven months pregnant with her and was showing her that she was in my belly. She being very smart said "and Aliya is in Daddy's belly!" LOVE IT!!

10/03/08 We often go out to the bus stop to send our neighbor girl off to school. Adelyn really wants to ride the bus and I told her that she will have to grow bigger. She now tells everyone that she is "going to grow big as a bus!!!"

11/08 My Sister-in-Law has been trying to get pregnant for about five years now and just found out that she finally is!! Anyway when she told us we were hopping up and down and making a big deal about it. Aldeyn went to preschool the next monday and they were talking about what they were thankful for and Addy said "I thankful that my Mom is going to have a baby!" We had to have a talk about who was really having the baby... it was really funny!

3-08-10 Adelyn asked me today if Giraffe's die. I told her yes, everything dies eventually. She said "do people die too?" Yes they do. "I don't want to die!" You won't until your really old. "Are you going to die before me" Most likely. "Where will I live then" She was starting to get upset at this whole concept. We had a big long talk about death and I tried to ease her fears...it is hard to explain complex things to kids!
