I am finding more and more everyday how much personality my girls have crammed into their little bodies. They have been saying some of the funniest things lately! I'm not exactly sure where they pick some of them up, but they really make me laugh! I thought I better write some of the things they have said to me lately down on here so I didn't forget. I love the idea that Collin's cousin Sam had of doing a "who they are" of her kids at certain ages on her blog, so I am going to give it my lazy mans version for where my kids are right now.
(sorry to rip you off Sam!)
Who She Is: Makenna : 2 years 4 months
She came into the office first thing this morning while I was printing off my lesson for church with a dress up dress draped over her arms, and sweet as pie said,
"put this dress on me please, your highness".
I almost fell out of my chair I was laughing so hard. She even made me put a bow in her hair, and of coarse, I had to take a picture of the moment!
She then went on to tell me at dinner tonight, that she is the queen and I am the highness. She is busting at the seems with personality. We're gonna have our hands full with this one.
- She LOVES to play on my Iphone (we have created a monster!) and is able to get it out of my purse, unlock it and go to her favorite apps and play with no help from us.
- Feels the need to hug all the time
- She LOVES to go....anywhere. She constantly is putting on her "sparkle shoes" and is willing to leave the house with almost anyone who will take her
- She HAS to have her blankie (which was actually my favorite blankie from birth til, well, she was born!)
- She still takes good naps
- She STILL does not have all of her teeth.
- She can sing her ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, and several other songs
- She can tell you almost any letter of the alphabet
- She LOVES CANDY (she is her fathers daughter)
- She is both a girly girl and a tom boy....if that's possible
- She LOVES going to nursery
- She speaks in complete (and understandable!) sentences
- She is what we like to call "high maintenance" She knows what she wants, and she will do what she has to (including throw fits) to try and get it.
Who She Is: Marlee: 4 years 7 months
The other night we came home from dinner and Marlee was looking at me like she needed to tell me something. She did. It was
"Um....mom... those boots are SO last season!"
What? Thank you fashion police, and these boots are awesome!
- She also, loves the Iphone, especially the Make Me A Princess app
- She prefers to have her hair straight (which I will never understand)
- She is already very self-conscious
- She loves to eat smoked white fish with cheese and fruit for lunch (food snob)
- She loves to dance
- She loves preschool
- She is getting better and better with her writing skills every day
- She is stubborn
- She has one of the most tender hearts of any child I have ever met
- She has to have her blanket and her monkey to go to bed
- She is a movie-aholic
- Is obsessed with brushing her teeth and washing her hands
- She is smart, but scared to try new things
- She is fiercely loyal. Once a true friend, always a true friend
Just wanted to have a quick look at who my girls are at this point in their lives. They change so much every day it seems like. I love who they are as individuals and wouldn't have them any other way!
We drove through Manitou Springs (a REALLY cool little town where we went on our honeymoon), and then decided to head back down towards Denver. We met my parents and our friend Ryan at Jim and Nicks for dinner and then went to a late showing of Percy Jackson (which I actually enjoyed!).
Thanks for a great weekend! We miss you already!!!
The result:
