4 Cousins!

We had some special visitors this weekend, Uncle Scott, Aunt Katie and cousins Zach and Jake! We had lots of fun playing with Zach and snuggling Jake. They had only here for about 20 mins. and Mabry was already asking to hold Jake. She jumped right onto the couch and said "I"m ready!" Sydney enjoyed stroking his hair and giving him little kisses. The girls also had fun playing with Zach. Thanks for a great weekend!

Jacob enjoyed looking at Mabry too!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We had a fun day. Daddy is out of town and we got a last minute visitor... Auntie H! She decided to come and help Mommmy this weekend. We were excited! We started our day with opening Valentine's Day gifts and then headed to the Children's Museum. Here are some pics taken this morning.

This was another pic that Mabry took.

Dance Class

Mabry had watch night at dance class the other night. She was so excited because her Daddy got to come in and watch. She kept turning around and waving high to us. This is her tumbling. I love watching her. It reminds me of my days in ballet.

1st Dentist Visit

Mabry had her first dental cleaning today! She did awesome. We had talked about it for awhile but you always worry they will crash and burn when they are actually there. She was perfect and let them count, clean and polish her teeth. Her favorite part was putting her mouth around the sucking straw and "kissing" it! The pink sunglasses were a big hit also! Sydney also got to pick out a toothbrush and visit the treasure chest.

and on the top!



She really liked the polishing brush. She thought it tickled!




Sydney taking her turn in the chair, once big sister was all done!

Big Girl!

Sydney's favorite new trick is to stand at the bathroom sink and brush her teeth. She loves this because she can stand on the step stool all by herself. She is getting so big! I think the pictures speak for themselves :)

Sledding!

We had a really pretty snow last week. It wasn't the warmest outside but Mabry insisted on going out to play in the snow. So we bundled her up and out she went. Sydney wanted to join her. So, after 15 mins. of getting her ready we went outside for maybe 10 mins. because it was too cold for her!

What a fun ride!




Sydney did not like being outside all bundled up!

The finished product!

Children's Museum

The weekend of MLK holiday we decided to take the girls to our local Children's Museum. The girls (and us) had a wonderful time playing with all the activity centers. The girls were exhausted by the time we left. We had such a wonderful time, we decided to buy a year membership.






Don't they make a cute couple?!?




Mabry watching the bubbles pop in the bubble center.




Check out Daddy's talent... He can make two bubbles at a time!




Sydney, of course, had to get in on the action. (Notice the piggies in her hair!)




Daddy with his girls in the climbing activity center.



We can't remember the name of this activity, but it was the girls' favorite thing to play with.





Check out the "Spohn Monument" we made. Yes, we really did but our faces in it!



Mabry looking through the tunnel.





Sydney wanting to do exactly what big sissy does!


Mabry winking in her doctor's uniform. She keeps telling us this is what she is going to be when she grows up!



Maybe Sydney is going to be the ambulance driver. She has that serious look to her face!
