Annagrace got a job

These tractors are currently parked in our yard! They are putting new water pipes in and they are cutting right through our yard to do so.

 The pipes! So the holes to put them in have to be HUGE!

the poses she wanted to do

9 Months!!

sweet sisters

party party

Today we had a birthday party. A birthday party for Cooper . . . the dog . . . the stuffed dog.

 tiaras were required

fancy dresses

and presents

Annagrace had to help with the unwrapping

and we made cinnamon rolls for the birthday dog.

Everyone enjoyed them, especially Emmalee

Monkey Joes

While the big girls were all playing on the big girl slides, Emmalee found her own friend. They would crawl around and around each other, smile, and giggle.

 I found out from his Mom that they are only 4 days apart.

 Emmalee is a crazy crawling champion now. She is super quick and gets into the tightest little spots! I think she is trying to keep up with her big sister.

new tea set

 We found a tea set on the clearance isle at Walmart so we purchased it as a reward. It sat on the top of the refrigerator as a reminder to listen and obey to earn her tea set. Well, today was the day to open it up!

 Emmalee is excited to try it out.

Annagrace insisted on keeping the box because she needed to look at the picture to make the place settings EXACTLY like the picture.

(I had planned on cropping this picture down more until I noticed the baby in the corner, stretching down as far as possible to get into the shot! Love it!)

Ice Day

 One night of freezing rain has shut down half of a state for 2 days.

But it sure is pretty!
