Play-Doh Fun!

I bought some play-doh for Mersadie a long time ago, but forgot about it until the other day when she saw it high on the shelf in the laundry room and wanted to play with it. So, being the "neat freak" mom that I am, I let her sit in her high chair on the tile floor and play with one color at a time. She LOVED it! I think she sat there for an hour and a half playing with the stuff. Enjoy the pics!

"Mom finally let me play with the play-doh!"

Rolling.

"Hmmm, not quite good enough."

"Let's start over."

Molding.

Rolling again.

"Ahh, it's perfect." Mersadie said this was a house.

Play-doh makes one very happy girl!...

...and makes one girl very tired!

Mersadie's Bedtime Songs - Part II

Here is "Part II" of Mersadie's bedtime songs - this one is "Jesus Loves Me". If you're wondering what she's looking at most of the time in the video, it's herself. Her closet doors are mirrors, so she enjoys watching herself sing! Also, she loves the sing the "me" in the song really high because Brian always gets a kick out of that and it's now what she does to get him to laugh. Anyway, enjoy this cute video on your Monday!!

Mersadie's Bedtime Songs - Part 1

Part of Mersadie's bedtime routine, after prayers, is singing. She has a medley that she sings EVERY night. If we skip one, we're in trouble! I just wanted to share with you the fun we get to have at bedtime! Since I had the camera, she was a little distracted and needed help with a few of the words. This video is just "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" - but there are 3 more videos to come - just keep watching for me to post them. Enjoy!

Tea for 2 (or 3)

When my parents were in town a few weeks ago, we worked on some projects for the kiddos. In Mersadie's new room, we built a cabanna to put her table and chairs in. Sadie LOVES it - it's her little hideout. We (my dad) also painted Sadie's old room - which will be Braden's room. Neither room is completely finished, that's why you haven't seen pictures, but they will come when the rooms are complete.

For now, enjoy Sadie's tea time with Elmo and the Cabbage Patch doll. She was serving them tea the other day and then she decided to join them. It was so cute. She was asking them if they wanted sugar in their tea and everything! I wish the video camera would have been charged! Maybe next time! Enjoy!

When it's left up to Mersadie...

...these are the shoes she will pick out. I thought they were funny - almost reminds me of bedazzled - but they actually look pretty cute on. I'll have to get some pictures of her in them to prove it. I guess we are entering the stage of "wanting to start making my own decisions"! Oh joy!

More Pictures of Our Little Lady!

Brian, Mersadie and I went out today to do a "photo shoot" of Sadie. She wasn't interested in posing for me, but I brought along some bubbles and Brian distracted her with them while I tried to get some shots. I'm still learning this whole camera thing and still trying to get all the coloring right, but here's our precious little lady anyway. Enjoy!

Love those lips!

The Boy's Debut

A little over a week ago, Brian and I went to have a 3-D Ultrasound done to get a sneek peak of our baby boy...Braden Christopher. My parents were in town and we were able to take Sadie with us too - so it was a lot of fun for all of us. So, here they are, the first official pictures of our little guy. Enjoy!

This is Brian's favorite picture because he thinks that Braden is already trying to show off his bulging biceps!

At around 2 pounds, I don't know how he already looks so cuddly!

Can't wait to hold this precious guy in my arms!

Don't want to try and explain this picture too much, but the lady said that this "proves" he's a boy. I sure hope so. We already painted the room!
