my girlie girl

I found a new purse and a couple cute pairs of shoes at my friend Marina's shoe and purse party last week. By the time I got home the kids were asleep (thank you Parker!), but the next morning Keagan found my new things immediately. I think they passed the test, considering she thinks they are hers and I have to hide them in my closet.

I noticed that she is always in a diaper in pictures--she is the messiest eater and it is way easier to strip her down than have new jammies each night because she spilled breakfast all over them.
Of course, Easton had to get in on the picture action, so he got his Elmo boots.

storytime

Daddy doesn't always make it home before the kids go to bed, so when he does they get so excited.

Easton even sat through Cinderella!

girls

Some of my girls from high school had another get-together a couple of weeks ago. It is always so nice to get out and spend time with them.

Maren, Shannon, Lindsey, Marina, me

Shannon got out her pictures from high school and junior high. Oh, dear. We thought we were so cool--it was hilarious. Marina and I were looking at one of me and Linds and I was laughing so hard I was crying.

We missed a few of the local girls that couldn't come and of course, will always miss the out-of-towners.

cute, Keagan, cute.

When a not-quite-two-year-old picks out her own outfit...

this is what happens.

(big brother's underwear {clean, thank goodness} and a sweater.)

She put it all on herself, too. I did button the sweater after much whining from her, but she did the rest.

cute, Keagan.

Dancing

I was making dinner last night and had the radio on. Keagan came in and wanted to dance with me, so I danced for a few minutes with her and then asked Easton to come dance with her so I could finish dinner. They were giggling so much, it was so cute.

While they were dancing and giggling Easton said, "Mom, Keagan is falling in love."

I asked him with who....he said, "With me."

And yes, I think she was falling in love.

They were being extra affectionate last night.

These moments don't happen very often--but I guess that is why I appreciate them even more.

Family

Parker's sister, Carrie, and her family had a layover in SL a couple of weeks ago, so we decided we needed to have a barbque. I haven't seen Carrie and her family since Easton was a baby and they had never met Keagie--they live too far away--so it was so good to get together. We miss them being so far away and are begging them to move closer.

For some reason I didn't any other pictures.
