Smile!

Jules loves to draw and while I love a toddlers art, Jules is really starting to be able to write and draw things that resemble something. We have been working on some letters and she is getting good at writing the letters C, E, F, H, M, O & Q.


She is really into drawing "smiley faces" and this weekend she drew one that actually looks like a face! Too cute!

Our little blue fairy

I can't help but post these pics. Mariah and I went shopping last weekend and I found this costume for $4.00! Since playing dress-up is the name of the game every day at our house, I love a good clearance bargain!!

A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!!!

And yes, I realized I had the wings on upside down AFTER I took the pics, oh well. :)

Friends....

Jules has a best friend and her name is....KEATON!!! Jules loves whenever we spend time with the Chapman family (as do the rest of us) and it is a joy to watch the two of them together!

She also loves spending time with her friend Genevieve. Jules and Vivi are only a few months apart and Jules went to her b-day party on Saturday. It was cute to see them play together. We need to do it more often!!

Birthday Girl Genevieve!

There's no place like home....

....and that is pretty much where we should have stayed on Friday night! It was FREEZING out. So, we decided to just take 'Dorothy' around to the grandparents' homes and keep her out of the cold as much as possible. We even made a stop to see Baby Reagan. Jules is absolutely in love with her and I have to admit, it does make me want to give Julianna a little brother or sister. She was just so adorable with her!

Of course most of these are for Grandma, but enjoy!

She LOVED her outfit and was dancing and twirling in it all night!

Do you see what is in Julianna's hand? She is definitely Drew's child. She was offered candy, cookies, gum - basically anything she wanted by all of her grandparents. And, what did she choose? String Cheese and Grandma Sue's, Tapioca Pudding at Grandpa Tonsi's and a bowl of cereal at Grandma & Grandpa Howard's! I still don't think she has touched any of her candy. She DEFINITELY doesn't take after me when it comes to sweets!

Grandpa Tonsi!

Too cute - looking at Grandpa Bush!
Look at that grin. She is SO in love with Baby Reagan!

Julianna's Holiday Tradition.....

Now, I am sure you all remember this, so it should come as no surprise that every holiday from here on out will involve.....

CINDERELLA!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Creepy, Crawly Cake!

Well this is as good as it gets for me. I bake a cake, Drew takes it out, cleans it up, frosts it and I decorate it. But I at least tried and I have to say this cake didn't turn out too bad. It even tasted good! Everyone here liked it and some of the kids were asking for a piece when they saw me carry it in this morning. :o)

Here are the pics for those of you that were asking!
