Christmas time '09

Cheesing it up...

Not sure what happened, but Chyler wasn't happy....it kinda looks like Dakoda is guilty!

Winter hits Missouri

It snowed a good 6-8 inches one night. The next morning I took a picture of our pine tree in our back yard with all of the snow on it.

Potty Trained!

Dakoda was potty trained in the very beginning of December 2009. After her interest in it several months ago, weeks before Chyler was born, I was sick of using pull-ups and just let her go naked. After 2 days, she was trained. I can't believe it only took that short of time after battling with it for several months! Aunt Julie sent her some "big girl" things in the mail when she heard the news. She got some Tinkerbell panties, bubblegum and nail polish. Thanks Julie!

Crawling at 5 months!

Chyler has mastered the army crawl at 5 months old. She is starting to get around the house now!

A MOUSE!

I found this huge mouse in my house!

Cute mug

My parents think she looks like the baby dinosaur from that 90's tv show Dinosaurs. I just think she's cute. lol

Terrible 2's

This is what happens when I'm in the shower. Dakoda thinks it's a great idea to throw baby powder all over the house...this is what she did to her room.

Enjoying the weekend

How they both ended up in bed with me, I will never know!

Chyler's 1st taste of ice cream



We got a chance to see Nick one weekend while he was in training for the Seabees. We drove to Columbia to meet with him and then we spent a day at Osage Beach in South Missouri.

Happy Halloween!
