Kalin's lost her first tooth!

Kalin lost her first tooth on Friday February 27th! Well she didn't really loose it, she let Mom pull it out. It took a lot of conviencing and then a small bribe. I told her if she let me pull it we would go to Cold Stone and get ice cream, and then we would go to the Iowa gymnastics meet. She didn't even cry!!

Busted!!

The kids and I made cookies a few weeks back. Normally they do not get to eat raw cookie dough because their Father is a microbiologist, and all microbiologists know that Salmonella can be found in uncooked eggs....well their Dad was downstairs so I let them lick away. We were busted within a few minutes, but they loved it and no one ended up sick.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Allen!

My Grandpa Allen, Kalin and Andrew's great grandpa, celebrated his birthday on January 31st. The kids wanted to give him a birthday message!

I'm not Bob

This is the conversation that Andrew and Kalin had last night while I was trying to dry them off after bath and get their pajamas on them.

Andrew: "Don't mess up my hair Mom."
Kalin trying to be funny: "You don't have hair, your bald."
Andrew: "I not Bob, I have hair."
Kalin laughing uncontrolably: "No your not Bob, your bald...you have no hair"
Andrew: "I not Bob, I have hair."
Kailn laughing even harder: "No not Bob, your a baldy....you have no hair."
Andrew starting to get mad: "I not a Bobby, I have hair."

Andrew the Christmas tree

While we were undecorating the Christmas tree, Andrew decided that he wanted to be a Christmas tree, so we did what every great parent would do...said, "Sure" and then got the camera. We put the star on his head, and ornaments on his ears and hands!

Kelly Christmas

Kalin and Hannah playing on the horse that Melissa (my sister) and I use to ride.
Andrew just makes us laugh!

We gave Hannah some cool Dora swim goggles.

Kalin got the game Trouble and LOVES it. She plays it everyday. She loves this game so much, that most days she plays by herself.

Aunt Melissa and Uncle Vath got Andrew some Transformer PJ with a robe that lights up, it is a hit at our house.

Christmas Cookies

As you can see we made beautiful Christmas cookies this year. From Kalin and Andrew's faces you can see that they were also tasty. The last picture is of Andrew after the sugar high!
