Week 15: Typical breakfast

The girls usually start asking for breakfast as soon as they wake up, which is unfortunately around 6, but i make them wait until after 7 to eat. Sometimes Emily just wants cereal but overall their favorite breakfast is oatmeal, so that's what we have most often. And as you can see in these pictures, our children are very photogenic and for some reason Emily is in her swimsuit.

Week 14: putting up the Christmas Tree

Here are some pictures from when we put up the Christmas tree. Emily was a big help...Annie, not so much.

The finished tree with several ornaments now missing or misplaced thanks to Emily and Annie's need to always play with them.

Dance

We signed Emily up to take dance classes starting next month, she is really excited!

Week 13: Giving Thanks

I forgot to take pictures of our actual Thanksgiving, so for this post I decided to have the girls pick out something that they are thankful for and take their picture with it.

Emily picked this zebra pillow that Ben got her for her 1st Christmas

Annie picked out a Rapunzel dress that they like to dress up in
And I thought Deacon would pick his sisters, he loves them and smiles and laughs at them all the time. Annie did not want her picture taken again, so here is one of he with Emily.

Deacon

This is kind of weird because i made this video by myself but you can still see how happy he is.

Week 12: Family Fun

The weekend of our 5th anniversary I surprised Ben and we went to Park City. While we were there we went swimming, which is one of our favorite things to do as a family.

This was Deacon's first time to swim, at first he didn't like it at all but he kind of got used to it. He didn't stay in long....

Week 11: Family Picture

It is not easy to get a family picture done when taking it ourselves but I thought this turned out pretty good except that Deacon was distracted.
It was even harder to get a picture of just the kids but this one turned out good.

Week 10: Favorite Clothes

I told both of the girls to go to their room and get their favorite clothes and this is what they picked...I'm not sure why.

Emily picked out a dress that doesn't fit her anymore and a pair pajama shorts.
*I like this picture*
Annie came running out of their room yelling, "favorite, favorite" I'm not sure why she picked this either, since it is actually Emily's dress, so I just put it on over her clothes. She was also too distracted by the tv for me to get a good picture.
I'm counting this as Deacon's favorite since it's one of my favorites.

Week 9: Playing in the Leaves

Here are a lot of pictures of the girls playing in the leaves I thought a lot of them turned out cute and couldn't decide which ones to put on, so I just put a lot of them on.

This is Emily kicking the leaves in my face.



Deacon slept, of course.




I love when they do cute stuff without being asked, these are my favorites:

Weekly Posts

So i'm going to be behind for our weekly pictures from last week and most likely this week, we can't find our camera. I'll get them up as soon as we find it, i don't want to get too behind.

Cute Pictures

Here are just some random cute pictures of that we have taken recently.

Emily really wanted to cuddle with Deacon and read to him.
The girls playing in Deacon's crib
Deacon LOVED playing in the bath with Annie and smiled so big every time she put bubbles on his head.

Deacon

Lately we've thought that maybe we should start buckling Deacon into his swing instead of just sitting him in it...now we definitely think so since this is how Ben found him one morning, and that same afternoon...

I found him like this.

Week 8: Halloween Costumes

First off, I have been really glad that I have started doing this project, mostly it has made me aware of how few pictures we were actually taking of our kids and it also has been good because it has been a good reminder to make sure we are actually doing all these different things with our kids. This is the first year Emily has picked what she wanted to be and really been excited about it, she wanted to be Jessie from Toy Story and was so excited to dress up.

This is her saying, "yee haw"
Annie was a cute pink poodle and was so excited because she loves dogs. She actually got distracted anytime they went to a house that had a dog and would try and get in their house.I'm not sure what was happening in this picture.

~Cute Deacon~
My favorite part of the day was at the end of the night when the girls were sitting together eating their candy and Emily ask Annie, "did you have a perfect day?" it was so cute.
