War Paint

Give T some markers and this is what happens. Who needs paper when you have a canvas like this?

Party Time

Well, it's that time again. Birthday season has begun. Be prepared to start seeing birthday party pics pretty frequently. Seems like just about everyone we know has a birthday from now through the new year. Exhibit A: party # 1. Ooh--face painting. Gotta love that!

 What can we say? The girl loves her some cake!

Am I cute or what?

Good Morning Sunshines

Scrubbing Bubbles

Teah likes to play with bubbles in the sink. Fine until I look over and she is using the dirty scrub brush to scrub her entire self.

Chillin'

This is often where we hang out while Mommy makes dinner.

Waiting for the rain...

Singing Debuts

"My Oh Me Sunshine" (You Are My Sunshine) By Tessa Claire.

Note**We stayed home sick from preschool today so we're a little puny but that doesn't stop us from being able to belt out a tune or two.

"The ALphabet Song" by Teah Grace (With a little help)

Solo version

Halloween Craft

 Coloring some Halloween puppets.

 Check out my spooky witch!

 Aren't we scary?

Not sure what got colored more, us or the puppets?

Red Rocks

 Labor Day we were able to go see Zack Brown Band at Red Rocks with old friends.

 (Not sure why we look so old in this picture. Maybe two kids has something to do with it.)

Check out the view.

 And that one. (Not the crazy man with his arm in the air.)

Couldn't have asked for better weather, location, music, or people to share it with. What a great night.

Hot summer days

Saw this quote the other day...think that is what is going on in these next couple of pictures.

 If you can't figure it out from the picture, let me set the scene. Teah is yelling "Off! Off!" while Tessa is laughing and rocking harder. Unfortunately I don't see this ending soon....or ever.

Teah's new favorite line, "Me do it, Mama. Me do it. "

 The other day we went to Belleview Park with some friends. We got to pet some animals. My favorite was the sheep.

 Mommy forgot our swimsuits for the creek. That didn't stop us though.

Who needs swimsuits? (At least when you are 1 and 3 anyway.)

Can't get enough park time...

Although I'm working on swinging by myself on the big kid swings, I sometimes like to use the little swings still. 

bikers

Lookout....It's the White Ash bicycle gang. Pretty cute eh?

ponytails

 Over the weekend we went over to a friend's to play in their pool. 

Mommy was just so excited that we both wanted ponytails that she had to get a picture. :) "Cheese!"

Cookie Face

1 Cookie. All I have to say.

Back to School

Tuesday was back to school for me. So excited for another new year.

Special Visitors

 So Mimi and Pop Pop came to visit us at the new house. We had lots of fun as usual. Thanks again to Mimi for taking most of the pictures. Maybe if someone would get Mommy a really nice camera for Christmas, she would be much better at taking pictures and posting them on the blog. *Wink.* (It's worth a shot anyway).

 Posing in our new jammies.

 making rice krispy treats...

 Playing legos with Pop Pop...

 Just waking up with Mimi. (This picture also reminds me that I haven't shown many (any) pics of the new house. Working on it...I promise!)

 "Cheese"

 We took our usual trip to the Children's Museum and I got to show Pop Pop my favorite: the bubble room.

waiting for that bubble to drop.

 Stopping to smell the flowers.

 and play with trains...

 and do a little grocery shopping.

 Can't forget to do a little fishing.

 Wheee!!

 Silly Pop Pop

 You don't scare me.

 Fire engine time...

 Taking a little break before it's time to leave.

 ANd of course...my favorite part: my new bike! Thanks Mimi and Pop Pop!

Once again, a great visit! Thanks guys for everything!
