Markers

Xavier did some of his "cutting" homework this morning and cut out a long train.  I got out a big piece of paper for him to glue the the train to and then we all used markers to color the paper.  This was the first time Mady and Anna got to use markers, so all the clothes had to come off.  They did pretty well, but did have their markers taken away after they started eating them!

Everyone is getting in on the action:

 Anna wants to be just like her sister!

 Xavier just couldn't reach everything from his seat!

 Finished masterpiece!

Jurassic Park

Brian took Xavier to the Expo Center yesterday to check out a dinosaur exhibit.  He was very excited that he got to touch them and had a blast checking out his favorites!  There was also a petting zoo with farm animals, a big play set, and bounce houses...not sure how that fit in the dinosaur theme, but Xavier enjoyed it!

 Xavier thought the sheep were very soft...

Old Pictures

Xavier wanted to look at old pictures of himself and I just had to post these.  Aren't these the cutest, fattest legs you ever saw!!!

Matching Jammies

Isabelle and Anna have matching "Big Sister" and "Little Sister" jammies.  They both wore them the same night and we took some pictures.  Anna, of course, didn't cooperate!

Valentine's Day Photo Shoot

Everyone was dressed up for Valentine's Day, so I decided to have a little photo shoot.  Isabelle has next Monday off school, so we're going to have a Valentine's Day party then!  The photo shoot got a little interesting!

Xavier and his best girls!

 Anna giving Abe some love!

 All 5 in one picture!  The only way I could get Anna to stay in the picture was to tell her to give Abe a kiss!

Family Picture

Emily hosted dinner for my and Brian's 30th birthdays last Sunday and we took a pretty good family picture!

It's Been A While

Yes, I know it's been a while!  Here are some pics of what we've been doing the past 2 months!

Isabelle got a new camera for Christmas, so here are some pictures that she took as Christmas.

 Isabelle went to Auntie Anne's with the Girl Scouts and the next day they had no school.  So, we decided to make soft pretzels at home!
