Will Weekend



This past weekend was our annual Will weekend together. Keltie and Kinsley went up on Thursday night with Granny and Papa. They had such a blast. I wasn't home when they left our house, but Kevin said that he had never seen Keltie so excited. It was strange at our house that night without them, but we got the house cleaned without any interference. When we got to the cabin on Friday, Kinsley didn't want anything to do with me. She went to Kevin, but it was right back to Granny then. (This was a nice change since a few months ago she wouldn't go to anyone but me.)
Decorating heart cookies that Denise brought. (Yes, she had to be naked).
As soon as you get the camera out, this is the face you get.
Little perfectionist Keltie.
We found a sledding hill to go down. This was a little bigger than our one at home. Keltie loved it the first two days, but by Sunday, she wasn't a fan of it any longer. She also went snowshoeing, but of course I forgot the camera.
Wipeout.
Keltie in action.
Keltie went down a couple of times, but she just liked to watch as well.
Building snow castles with Autumn.
Just chilling with Daddy.
Kevin tried to teach the girls how to play Simon Says. It was pretty funny to watch.
Silly Kinsley.
Three cheers for ice cream.
Kinsley and her ice cream cone. She did very well on it all by herself.
Still going strong.
Yummy!
"There's still more to go."
We spent a lot of time playing outside since the weather was so beautiful. The girls all had so much fun playing together and it's so much fun to just sit back and watch them. They were exhausted last night and went to bed really early. Keltie was sad to leave behind Ella and Kylie, but we get to see them again this weekend. (As long as we don't get struck with the flu that Addison got on Saturday night!)

Princess

On Sunday, I took the girls up to visit Grammy and Boompa. Grammy has been wanting to make tutus out of material from our wedding. I think that she had dreams of  making them together with the girls, but of course this isn't exactly how it turned out. Keltie helped for a little bit, but then found something else to do. Kinsley didn't want anything to do with helping. The girls were very excited to take them home to show Daddy, but weren't as excited to put them on. Grammy wanted a picture, but I haven't been able to get them in their tutus yet.

Anyway, when we left on Sunday, Kinsley had to have on a different little princess skirt. She wore it all day. Yesterday when we were just about to walk out the door for Cathy's house, she grabbed it and had to have it on. I'm not even kidding when I tell you that she wore it ALL day long. We managed to get it off of her before she went to bed last night. This morning, same thing happened. I guess she's going through a little princess stage.
We can't decide if she looks more like a princess or a little elf because it makes her look so short in it.

Happy Valentine's Day

I think these pictures say enough. Of course when I try to get the two of them together, it never amounts to a wonderful picture, but what can you do. I hope that you enjoy today (and all the other days) with those you love.
First attempt of just Keltie.
One is eating, the other one is trying to watch tv out of the corner of her eye. Nice!
Keltie is yelling "Happy Valentine's Day!"
I don't remember what they were doing on this one.
Silly girls.
Kinsley must be getting bored with pictures.
"This is so silly." (Sorry Grammy, they don't have the pretties in that you made them because those are red. Keltie told me that they didn't match and picked these out for her and Kinsley instead.)
Short attention span.
Cute, but would be better without the red eyes.
Not too bad.

Road Rash

Yesterday, was kind of a hectic day. Since we have an in home daycare lady, when she needs a day off or one of her children is sick, it makes life kind of difficult for us. Long story short, the girls came to school with me until Kevin could leave work to get them. They then spent the rest of the day at home with him. Well, when I got home, Keltie was still sleeping. Kevin told me I had to look at her face when she got up, but he wouldn't tell me anymore. Part of their day yesterday included sledding. I'm sure you can guess where I'm headed....Yup, she fell off of her sled. He said that she was a pretty big girl about it and only cried for a little bit. Right away she said, "I have to show Mama this." She got right back on and went again. Thankfully, today they are at the babysitter's house. :)

Poor little sweetie.
We were trying to make her pose for us. I guess a fish face will do it.
Drama queen.
I promise you, the camera makes it look a lot worse than it is.

Superbowl

We watched the Superbowl this year without really caring much about it. The girls were excited because they got to eat cheese balls. Their favorite commerical of course was the M and M going "Wiggle, wiggle." They were even doing it yet this morning.


Jody Jr.

Since the girls have been born, we have had mixed reviews on who looks like who. Almost immediately it was that Keltie is Kevin. I have totally agreed with this since day one. Now though you hear the opposite. With Kinsley, no one has really been too sure. The other day someone told me she is a spitting image of Kevin. I almost laughed because I can't see that at all. When I look at Kinsley, all I can see is myself when I was little. I've tried to compare pictures of the two girls and I just can't see that many similarites. However, I somtimes get a little scared because Kinsley reminds me of myself. (No, I'm not just patting myself on the back either.) Take a look and see what you think.
This just reminds me of myself.

This is Keltie at about the same age. See any resemblences?

School Dance

Last week it was Catholic Schools Week. The big event at the end of this is always a dance. Keltie was so excited to get dressed up and to be able to shake her booty. After nap, she wanted to go right away and couldn't understand why we needed to eat supper first. She was fun to watch. At first she was a little shy, but then she got in to it. Kinsley on the other hand clung to Daddy.

Looking so grown up.
Future heartbreaker.
Can you picture Daddy when the boys come knocking?
Getting ready to shake thier booties.
Strike a pose.
After a lot of attempts, finally a good picture.
Keltie when we first got there just taking everything in.
This is pretty much where Kinsley stayed almost the entire time.
She turned just as I was ready to snap.
"Twirl me."
Daddy was even out there for a little bit. No, there wasn't any alcohol there either.
In action.
"What are they doing?"
Only Keltie could get Kinsley out there for a little bit.
This is what happens when the two of them get together.
All smiles.
Ice cream with Mama.
