December 4, 2008



Quotes, Pictures, and Events from the last few days......



*Kelsey stood for 5 seconds without holding onto anything


*Macey put a 24 piece puzzle together all by herself



*Kelsey did a face plant and bled quite heavily from the mouth.



*Kelsey fell backwards in the tub, had a terrible scare of being underwater for barely a second and screamed.


*Macey started screaming even harder because she was so scared for Kelsey. It took me longer to calm Macey down, she kept saying, "I'm just scared for Telsey"


*Took many fun Christmas pictures


*Macey woke up from her nap today and starting reaching up to touch her ceiling that slants down and said: "Look Mom! I'm getting bigger because all my running I do! Now I can go to preschool!"


*Macey while looking at pictures on the computer with me today said: "That color looks good on Carly's face" -referring to a headband (she might need to try out for Stylista next season, have you watched that show?)

*Made a homemade pizza. I'm still finding sauce and mozarella cheese around the house. I just cleaned some off her stool in the bathroom.



*We are enjoying the Christmas season so far. Macey is really into it all, helping decorate the Christmas tree, wrapping gifts, watching Christmas movies, sipping hot chocolate, and listening to Christmas music. I feel very lucky to be spending these days at home with my girls. (I do enjoy putting them to bed by 7:30 as well! :) )

Here's a glimpse of some of the Christmas picture taking that has been going on......

Jason's mom and sister made matching pj's sets for the 3 grandkids, didn't they turn out cute?


You will find that my Roosey Roo is very talented with her mouth throughout these pictures.




Aren't the pink overalls just great?

I am laughing at "that color looks good on Carly" and "I'm ready for preschool." Big WOW about putting together a 24 piece puzzle!! Maybe the first day Bennett goes to preschool you guys will come down and watch him get on the bus. I might feel the need to ride with him the first time and maybe you could watch Annie until I get back. I'm happy the school is so close :)!

and are you going to post the Christmas pictures you took of Macey and Kelsey...or are you waiting until the Christmas cards go out?

Carol Sue said...

Great pictures and a great update on your blog. The girls are just too cute for words. I can't believe that Macey out together that 24 piece puzzle and that Kelsey fell in the bathtub.....YIKES
These kids are just so cute and it is so GREAT that they get along together so great.

I was debating....I think I'm going to try to wait :)

Carol Sue said...

PS....GREAT pj's

Carol Sue said...

PSSS....what are the christmas stockings in the very first picture, the small ones with clothespins.....darling

Jenny said...

I think they're Hallmark? They're just decorations I've had. You would also appreciate that there are almost identical pj's out there at GAP that cost $90 to buy for 3 kids, but they made these for only $20 for 3 kids. Pretty good? :)

Carol Sue said...

Love the PJ's, but I really love that all 3 were made for 20 bucks

Jen, the girls are adorable. And cudos to your mom-in-law and sister-in-law, the pjs are adorable, what a great idea!

OOOoo..excited to find a new post with lots of pictures. I have never heard of the Sylista. Will have to check it out. A puzzle sounds like a good idea. It's been a while since I got one out...

Hi Jenny -

I was just taking a break from work and I thought I'd check up on the blogs. What a great post! I enjoy hearing about all the cute stuff Macey says and looking at the pitures (the girls are growing up so fast!) Maybe I should start a blog :) However, I don't think I'd keep up with it and I don't know if people would always want to read stories about Ally :)

Man Jen...i just love to read all these...Macey is just such a character and looks soo old. Kels is adorable and I can not believe how different they really look from each other. I really do not think my kids come up with that good of things to say that are not just everyday sayings.
