posing...so silly!
I was laughing at her...
haha so silly! Looks like we are going to have a hard time getting pictures with her eyes open too!!
All ready and waiting for Mommy to get ready
Daddy and Madilynn trying out the little hill in the backyard...it worked and so much fun!
Mommy and Elizabeth had to try...
Yeah!! So much fun, I haven't smiled so big or laughed so hard in a long time!!
Then we decided it was time to try out the big hills at the park, so we loaded up and headed to the park just a couple of minutes away. Madilynn had a blast and even went down a few times by herself! She also enjoyed playing on the park jungle gym, it's been a while since she'd gotten to play at the park and she was all bundled so why not!!
Just had to throw these in here... Elizabeth ate in her highchair for the first time on Friday! She likes it much better than the bumbo chair!
See the ducks...the other homes lining the river
Madilynn throwing rocks into the river...she almost got me here!
Beautiful view...Can you see the mountains through the trees?
Daddy trying to get Madilynn to throw snowballs - that's the back of the house
Daddy trying to talk Madilynn into throwing that snowball at me...she threw it at him instead!
We had a great time playing around, can't believe it was our first time back there!! There will be many more times I'm sure!! Next we're going to try sledding - hopefully tomorrow! And we are so excited Nana is coming tomorrow night! (Hopefully no delays in Tulsa with all the snow/ice they are getting now!)
I took these pictures last night because I just thought she was too cute in her little sweatshirt!! The sweatshirt is 9M and the pants are 12M! But, I think these are cut a little small since she is wearing mostly 6 mo. in everything else!
We picked up Daddy for lunch today and went to Sonic (yeah!!). Madilynn decided to let Elizabeth try one of her french fries!! By the time I realized what was going on and saw it, it was pretty soggy she probably got a little taste. haha I guess it was bound to happen! We explained to Madilynn that Elizabeth couldn't eat that yet, we don't want her to get sick, and to please ask first!!
First bite...
She was really smiley overall and really seemed to enjoy it! She ate all that we offered at breakfast and again at lunch time! 
Not sure if all of those smiles were for the food, or just because of Daddy's involvement! As you can see he kept her smiling!
All done! She was playing in the activity center while we ate breakfast, and again she is just staring at us eat our food! So glad we started it today, I think she was definately ready!
Elizabeth so silly....
Elizabeth just waking up on Thursday morning, she's so happy in the mornings just talking away. And she gets out of all the covers by the time I get in to get her up!
Madilynn has just started Awana's Cubbies at church and she is enjoying it! Here she is trying on her vest and showing off her bag she got Wednesday night after memorizing her first two verses!
Daddy and Elizabeth have a new game... Yesterday we took Elizabeth for her 4 mo. check up and shots. Her weight is 15lbs. 6oz. and her height 25 and 1/2in. She's in the 75th percentile for both!
Just wanted to note how much Elizabeth loves Madilynn already. She watches Madilynn all the time and just smiles so big when Madilynn shows her any attention. Last night I was making supper and Madilynn was playing with Elizabeth in the swing and I was able to get a little video of them. She got Elizabeth laughing so good! It looks like Madilynn is being a little rough, but you can tell it doesn't bother Elizabeth at all she is ready to play, and smiling the whole time.
All done and running around in the snow!
Saturday night - bath time!
Just wanted to share my yummy nachos that I made on Sunday night. Chips, shredded cheese, chili beans, lettuce, and sour cream. I stuck the chips, cheese and beans into the oven for a few minutes then topped with lettuce and sour cream. So good and so quick and easy!! (Mexican food is my favorite!)
Monday we met one of the professors Michael works with and his family and went to Hardware Ranch it's just about 30 minutes away. It's a Wildlife Management Area where they feed the elk during the winter to keep them from going down into the valley!
Getting ready to load up for the ride. We rode around the field on a horsedrawn sleigh (they call it) while the wild elk were eating!
Elizabeth is doing so well with her tummy time! She's holding herself up really good and playing with toys! Wow - they grow so fast!
Loving the activity center!
The girls all dressed up for church on Sunday...pretty in pink!
Just for Daddy...he wanted me to get a picture of the girls laying next to each other so we could compare the size - so long!
Elizabeth loves Madilynn and loves getting attention from her!
Big hugs!
But here are some things to note about Elizabeth Anne at 4 months:And the newest accomplishment...THE ROLL...she rolled from belly to back twice today!! Yeah Elizabeth!!
We love you!!
Elizabeth looking so big...4 months old now!
Saturday I was a bridesmaid in Holly's wedding. It was so beautiful and was just perfect! 
Holly and I
I had a great time catching up with Lori and Amy who I hadn't seen in several years!
While at the wedding I also ran into my cousin Tracy!
Daddy did a great job while I was gone! I heard all kinds of stories of what happened while I was away...Sunday he took the girls to church, eat lunch at McDonalds, then to feed the ducks some bread. I heard that the geese pretty much swarmed them and came all the way up to the car, Elizabeth didn't even get to get out! They took a piece of bread right out of Madilynn's hand - they were really used to being fed! Ha
night, night!
