Question...

Which side did Cali sleep on during her nap?

Gangsta Princess

Cali got this beanie for Christmas and it is totally her. She's 100% princess! The second picture I just thought was funny because she looks like she's throwing her hands in the air and saying "what?" with a big 'tude. :)

What's black, white and RED all over?

Nope, we're not talking about the newspaper... we're talking about Cali!!

So, these were actually taken like 2 weeks ago but the kids and Geoff have been sick so I've been pretty busy! This little outfit is one that Cali got for Christmas from my Mom and it's the outfit the red sweater was made to go with. It's also the outfit I ran all over the place to find red shoes to go with.

I put the headband in her hair and snapped the picture as she was pulling it out and that's as long as it was in her hair. Then she ran around so I couldn't get any good pictures of the whole outfit so I just put in the best one I got. :)

Cute red sweaters

My Mom crocheted a red sweater to wear with one of her outfits for Christmas. I searched everywhere for red shoes to wear with it and finally found a pair. So, on Sunday she wore the red sweater with the shoes and I thought she looked pretty cute. :) Now I just need to have her wear them with the outfit my Mom got her.

This sweater I got recently at Old Navy for less than $2!! I figured it would still be cold enough for a little bit so she could definitely get 2 bucks out of it. I love great deals... especially when you get such cute things! :)

The Park!

It's been a while since we've been to the park and Aedan was SO excited when I told him we were going this morning! We had a great time even though both kids ended up falling. Aedan went on a big kid swing for a while and right before I took a picture, he fell backwards onto the ground. Cali was walking around and fell face forward into the cement so she has bump on her forehead again and a very slightly scraped nose. She was NOT happy about that!! There were these pretty cool slides that I never thought Aedan would be brave enough to go down but he totally did and loved it so much that he kept going back! Cali went down once with me and wasn't really fazed by it. She's pretty fearless. :)

The slides that Aedan went down... all by himself!

(that's pretty good for him) :)

Just cute...

I just thought the kids looked cute yesterday so I took some pictures. We put Aedan in a vest that I love and he picked a tie that totally didn't match but had trains on it so he was very excited about it. I just couldn't tell him he couldn't wear it. :) He ended up drawing on his vest though so we had to take it off. Geoff was trying to make the kids laugh when they were standing next to each other and even though Aedan tried very hard not to laugh, it didn't last long. Both kids think Daddy is so funny! :)

CUTE!!

This morning I went to a fun and yummy breakfast at a friends house and decided it was a great opportunity to put Cali in one of her CUTE outfits my Mom got her for Christmas. I absolutely love this outfit! My Mom made the headband to match but unfortunately it only lasted long enough to take these pictures before Cali pulled it off. She's at that stage where she pulls anything out of her hair... GRRR!

This outfit made me realize that I totally need to take Cali shoe shopping because her feet have grown recently and she only has 3 pairs of shoes that fit, none of which matched this outfit. So, maybe by the next time she wears it she'll have some cute shoes to go with it. :)

Not just a couch...

So we know that these couches turn into beds... but did you know that it turns into other stuff too?

A place for "hide & seek":

A major static creator:

(couldn't resist putting all of these in

even though they're practically the same)

A "house":

Not just a house, a house complete

with places to park your cars!

Sometimes tile floor is cool...

Last night I started pushing Cali around in her doll stroller that she got for Christmas from my Mom and she loved it. So, Geoff went across the room and we started pushing her back and forth across the tile. The kids would take turns since both their little bums fit in it and they were cracking up. I was video taping it so I don't have pictures of that but after we were done Aedan started pushing Cali so Geoff decided the safest thing would be to go back to where he was and catch her. So, I did get pictures of that. You can tell how much Cali loved it and how much fun Aedan had pushing her.

* Since Aedan is potty training, he will most likely be either half or mostly naked in a lot of posts. :)

Trying to escape...

Last night Cali randomly started trying to take her shirt off. She got this far and then got frustrated because she couldn't get it off:

I guess she forgot that her arms were in the shirt too. :)

Cali's 1st dress of the year!

Today Cali wore a dress that she got for Christmas from her Great-Grandma. It's a cute little dress for a cute little girl. :)

Cali's "CHEESE!!" face:

Aedan was driving his car around all smiley so I added a picture of him too. :)

Potty training...

The holidays are over so since we'll be home for a while the potty training has begun!

Any tips from anyone would be greatly appreciated since this is our 1st try! :)

"I'm watching a movie"

Yesterday Geoff was making dinner and I was blogging and Geoff tried to ask Aedan something only to hear Aedan say "I'm watching a movie Dad!". So, Geoff peeked into the room and saw Aedan sitting on the couch with his legs crossed wearing my glasses watching Baby Einstein. I was sitting right here totally oblivious so when I turned and saw him it cracked me up. Luckily the camera is always on hand for moments like this. We sure love this little guy full of silly moments!

New Year's Day Sledding!

For New Year's Day we were invited to go sledding with some friends of ours and their little girls. They let us borrow some snow boots and a snow suit for Aedan so the kids could keep dry. We were excited to go and so were the kids. I took a million pictures as usual and here are some of them...
