SANTA!!

We went to the mall today and got "The Santa Picture". I can't believe Melody smiled. This is the first year she didn't cry. I thought we were going to get a picture with 2 crying children. We practiced all the way to the mall, show me your smile. Melody would reply "I don't want too" "I don't even know him" But she did it!!So here is the official...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

christmas tree

We put up our tree about 2 weeks ago. I think Christmas tree picking makes me miss California the most. We use to go and chop a tree down every year, some how picking one out at Walmart doesn't have the same effect! We did find a nice one, I put the lights on and then realized that I must go shopping after Christmas and get some more decorations. Every day my mom tells me "You need more bulbs, ornaments, tinsel" She makes me laugh and I'm to frugal to buy stuff now!

Melody had a good time putting up a couple ornaments, but had more fun playing with the Angel ornament. She has a HUGE imaginations! Luke just sat there looking cute.

Dr Visits

We took the kiddo's for their check ups on the 6th of December. Luke had his 2 month and Melody had her 3 year check up. The both had to get shots. I was so glad that the pediatricians office is open for late appointments, Josh was able to come. Which was WONDERFUL! Here were their stats...

Luke: weight 15 lbs (over the 95%) length : 25 1/2 inches (over the 95%)
Melody: weight 35 lbs length : 40 inches

Good Healthy Children. Thank you God!!!

Melody's Girls

Melody loves playing with "Her girls" They are Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. She spends many hours playing and talking to them. At bed time we find her talking to them HOURS after putting her to bed, not to sure what to do about that!

P.S. She is SOOOOO into wear dresses...several times through out the day she changes into a different dress. Yes, this causes LOTS of laundry.

FIRE

This was the first fire of the season. We were pretty excited THEN the house felt like it was getting smoke-y. We started freakin that we were going to die of carbon monoxide poisoning, SO we camped out at mom's house that night and opened all the windows in ours. In the morning the house read 46 degrees! We had birdies on top of the chimney during the summer, so we thought they built a house up there and was blocking the smoke. Josh went on the roof over the weekend, nothing up there. But we did buy Carbon Monoxide Detectors.

Luke wasn't as excited as Melody. She was singing "The Fire Song". Pretty much what ever is going on...she has a song to go along with it...a LOUD one!

now a lay me

whale of a day

I can't believe that is December. The year has flown by! I have several cute pictures to post, I'll try and get them up this week. Luke got this cute outfit from our dear friends, the Parkers. They have a son Jonah and HAD to get this whale outfit. TOO cute. There is a little scratch above his little eye. I cant believe how fast his finger nails grows. I think when Melody was about 7 months old she started biting her finger and toe nails. To this day I don't have to trim them.
