We're back!

I'm finally doing it! I haven't updated our blog for about five months, but I'm doing it TODAY! So.......following this post, there are about 10 more new ones!

BOOTS
Branson loves shoes. And he's always trying every one's on. This was my favorite though. These are Macie's friend's boots, and Branson loves them! No pants makes it even cuter.

"I'm awesome." 

Macie


Tea party with the barbies. The one on the table's hair cracks me up :)
Macie made a baby carrier out of an old shirt she got for "dress up" at a garage sale. I thought it was cute.
She is loving puzzles lately and is getting really good at them!

Dancing...

Karen, this one's for you! I swear there is a picture just like this of my sister and me when we were around the same age. It made me laugh. This is Macie and Branson dancing to Macie's favorite song, "Mean" by Taylor Swift. I'm not sure why she loves it so much, but she can't get enough of it.

She's growing up so fast!

Cause for Celebration!

Macie finally got rid of her potty seat! One day I was cleaning her potty seat that sits on top of the toilet, and I asked Macie what it would take for her to let us throw that yucky thing out. (we had tried to get rid of it before, but she would refuse to go, and wet her pants if I didn't put it back on. Even though she didn't need it when she wasn't at home.) I asked her if she wanted to go out for ice cream. She said she wanted to go on a date to the library, and then to the store to get STRAWBERRY ice cream. Hmmmm..........Deal! So we went outside and Macie threw that nasty little potty seat in the garbage.

Strawberry ice cream cones.

Allie started using her jumper. I have to limit MYSELF with her though. I used it way too much with Branson!

The Girls...

Random: Just eating her breakfast I guess.

29

Reed had his 29th birthday on Jan 17.  We had a few friends and family over for cake and ice cream to celebrate. I love this man! He really amazes me more all the time. I am so lucky to have him!

Bear

Meet BEAR. Let's just say he is loved. Branson carries him everywhere, and has to have him when he goes to bed. It's terrible when he's lost, and I've had to go pick him up from friends' houses a few times at bedtime. Branson either carries him in his mouth, by the bear's nose, or under his arm like a football. He is already starting to fall apart. He's got a bald patch on his bum and a hole where I had to cut out candy from his fur. His nose is always wet and nasty, and I have to wash him about three times a week. For some reason, Branson cannot get enough of this little guy.

In need of a brother...

I walked into Macie's room to find her accessorising Branson. I used to do this to my little brother, and he turned out ok :)

Poor kid.
Allie just watching.

More Random Pictures

Crazy Little Kids

These are just some random pictures I took of the kids one day...

We have to keep the headbands away from Branson because he loves to put the on and wear them, silly kid.
Macie and her cheesy camera smile. She likes to dress her dolls in her own clothes.
Allie hanging out....as usual, poor girl.
Cutie little spit bubbles :)
