Story Time

We finally made it to Story Time at the local Library. 

We've been trying to make it for months! 

Haha, well we got there on time and met up with Taya's best friend William. 

On the down side Taya is going through the definite TERRIBLE 2's.  She of course was roaming around and saying, "stop it mama."  When she should have been sitting quietly listening to the story. 

So we checked out a few books and left early. 

This is probably Taya's favorite place at the Library, the Fish! 

Paige was a peach!

Seeing RED...

Ever want to see me as a Red Head???  Here's your chance. 

Tanner and I have decided to be ultra frugal this year.  And so far up to January 16th we're doing really good!  We both L-O-V-E to spend money.  So in my attempt to save and not spend I decided to put off my normal trip to the hair salon and buy a Wal-mart special color in a box. 

Big mistake! 

 I guess the color did say "Medium Golden Blonde." 

And boy was it golden.  Tanner said in the light it didn't look so bad.  These pictures it's kinda washed out, but trust me I looked like straws of copper!  Luckily Tanner okay-ed me spending a little more and going to the local Beauty School to have some weaving done. 

A few highlights and low lights later, I feel much more comfortable.

The Calendar Said So

Every year I buy a new calendar, in the attempt to keep myself organized. Haha

This year Taya was determined to pick out the calendar.  I personally liked the Mary Engelbreit one, but Taya really wanted the new "Alice In Wonderland" movie calendar. (She's so in LOVE with this movie right now.) 

 So we made a compromise. 

We got FANCY NANCY. 

 We both love her.

In this fun little calendar she (Jane O'Connor) has special days written in.  I don't know if they are nationally recognized days or just special days she wanted to include. 

 Today January 14, 2011 it says, "Dress up your pet".

 

So we did.  Abby got a good brushing and a new little hair bow. 

We are puppy sitting this week, so naturally we dressed up our friend Phoebe. 

What can you expect from a house full of girls!  Sorry Cierra...

Abby actually got this sweater from Santa. 

Too bad the cute thing is too little!  We'll hopefully send it home with Phoebe. 

And this is what we all still look like... We need to go dress ourselves up now!

A little sewing

We had a wonderful day...

We got out for a little bit this morning to have lunch with friends, then we came home for Taya and Paige's nap times! 

I had some quite time so I decided to make some burp rags.  These are my favorites, they're just cloth diapers with a cute fabric panel. 

These are all gifts for friends having babies in the next couple of months.

Paige is 9 Months

January 9th Paige turned 9 months.  Each month I like to take a picture of Paige to see her grow.  It's amazing how much they change in one Year!  She now weighs 25lbs! Crazy

Anytime Taya sees the camera come out, she thinks she needs to be in the view finder.

I think she wished she wouldn't have crashed this photo shoot.

Snow Day

Yesterday we woke up to SNOW. 

We (the girls and I) decided to stay in our P.J's and have a relaxing day.  I did some palates, Paige played with everything in the toy box, and Taya got to make her own personalized princess crown.  She loved it! (she also made a Cowboy Hat)

Good bye 2010

We loved our time at Aunt Amy and Uncle Eric's house.  It was nice to get out of our little apartment and let our girls run around. 

Here's just a few left over photo's of our week there.

The girls and me in our Bronco attire.  Haha, we're Tebow fans.

Taya loves her daddy.
