Terrible twos, horrible threes!

I am in the process of making photo books for each of my girl's first two years of life. I love making them and looking at all the old photos. I decided to look on the blog to see if I could use any photos and I came across this post title Trouble. It was when Caemlyn was Brooklyn's age and was in the terrible two phase. Ben and I both think Brooklyn is by far are craziest child. She has no fear and has already had two minor concussions, a chipped tooth, lots of bumps, bruises, and blood. It made me laugh when I read this post about Brooklyn, because it is exactly how Brooklyn acts. I guess they did act almost the same at this age :)

This is part of the post that I wrote about Caemlyn:

How I love her even when she is:

-Coloring on anything and everything throughout my house
-Dipping her cup in the toilet to get a drink (lucky addi actually flushed the toilet for once)
-Washing herself in the toilet water (what is the obsession with the toilet)
-Sitting on the kitchen table
-eating the dog food
-spilling every snack that I give her onto the floor and just walking away
-saying no to me all day long
-touching everything she is not suppose to touch
-hurting Addison
-this is a new one: giving me this look, angry look, that says "i refuse to do anything that you tell me to do." and runs the other direction laughing. (she stares at me with this new stare for about a minute and then runs away)


I do have to say that Brooklyn has never dipped her cup into the toilet and drank it or rubbed destin from head to toe. She does do other things like get into my makeup, lotions, and her poopy diapers every single day, but we still love her!

Addison turns 7!!

Addison had a great birthday this year. She has been asking to get her ears pierced so we let her do that this year for her birthday. She was very nervous about it. We kept telling her that she would be fine since she never cries in shots. (Seriously, she does not care about shots. She is more brave than me!) Afterwards, she let me know that getting your ears pierced hurts a lot more than shots. She was very brave and did not cry.

 All done!

 Sisters!

We also had a family birthday party. For birthdays, the birthday person gets to pick what to have for dinner and what kind of cake they want. Addison picked pizza and I made rainbow cupcakes with nerds on top. She had a great birthday!

Addison was spoiled. One of her presents was rollerblades

Happy birthday!

My niece's baptism

It was a special day today! My niece, Lorelai, was baptized. Ben was able to baptize and confirm her, which was very special. All the girls loved watching the baptism. I am glad that we were able to be a part of it. My mom flew down for the weekend for the special event.
