sweet moments

As I was looking at our snowy pictures the other day I saw these pictures from a few weeks ago. I had forgotten about them and they are too sweet to not share.

One day after a lunch, a few weeks ago, Jennifer wanted to hold Kelly. So she climbed up in the chair and I gave her Kelly. A few seconds later, literally a few seconds, Kelly was fast asleep. It was the sweetest thing. Jennifer loved it! Jennifer thought she needed a blanket, she was ready to snuggle in with her sister. Of course when I went to get the camera for a picture Mikayla needed to be in on it too! So my three girls snuggled in for a few moments of pure sweetness.

 I never would have thought 10 months ago that Mikayla would ask to hold Kelly. Not only ask, but hold her arms out and insist that she hold her sister! It has been fun to watch Mikayla and her relationship with Kelly grow. This is a great picture of the two of them.

 And Mikayla loves Kelly until she starts trying to touch her! Then she is quick to be done and hand or rather push her back over to me.

Let It Snow!

You may think by my title of this blog post that I was excited about the snow this week. You are however mistaken if you think that! I am so tired of the snow! But sadly this week there was no shortage of snow around here.

This was Monday. Snow all morning long. Tuesday and Wednesday were so much nicer. There was sun and melting snow.

Then this afternoon it started snowing again. Oh how sad it was to see. It maybe would have been fun in December to have to blizzard but in February when we are ready for nicer weather so we can be outside a blizzard is not so fun. 

Bill decided to venture out when he got home from work and snow plow the driveway a little bit. Of course the girls wanted to go out to. So they got bundled up and headed out. I decided to take Kelly out too! It was her first time out in the snow all winter. Really I just wanted to take her out for a few pictures. I don't girlfriend was too impressed with the snow!

Mikayla could usually give or take playing out in the snow. She does not love it like Jennifer does. I do love this picture of her in the snow though! She looks so happy with the snow. 

Every year we try to take a family picture out in the snow. I was thinking we might not get one this year but since we were all out it was the perfect time!

 Love this picture of my girls together!

I had to get a few pictures of Kelly by herself in her first pile of snow. It was still snowing when we were outside and it was actually pretty miserable to be out. So like I said before I don't the girl was impressed with the white snow everywhere!

 One almost happy picture!

 Hope you all enjoyed a snowy week! I am still dreaming of sunny, warm days...

I'm back

So it has been a while for me! I was going to put some new pictures on here a few weeks ago and when I went to put the pictures from my camera to my camera, my computer wasn't having it. I had too much stuff- really it was just too many pictures- on my computer. So I drug my feet for a few weeks until I finally got it all cleaned up. I do have to admit while I was moving all of my old pictures I was loving it! I was looking at pictures from 2010! Loved seeing my bigger girls as sweet babies again.
Now onto 2014...

This baby girl is growing so much. I love to see all that she is doing and how she is changing. But yet it is sad to think how fast the time has gone, she is quickly approaching a year! Kelly is not crawling but she has a crazy way of getting around, as you can see she got herself under the coffee table, somehow. 

 It seems that it just keeps snowing and staying cold. I am really getting sick of this winter! On one of the days that it wasn't below zero Bill and the girls were able to get outside to play. 

 And I just had to include these pictures because they are so stinking cute. One afternoon Jennifer and Mikayla were playing in some empty boxes. So we thought it would be fun to put Kelly in one too. She thought it was so funny!

 Is this not the best smile? 

 And this is a scene that happens almost daily at our house right now. Kelly really is the center of attention lately. Jennifer and Mikayla think it is great to sit in front of her and talk to her. Kelly usually ends up doing a little fake laughing at her sisters. It is fun to watch and hear the three girls together.

Now that my computer is cleaned up and able to take my pictures again it hopefully won't be so long between pictures!
