(No! No! Lou & Durbs}

Sweet Lou & Durban are such little theiving animals!  Whenever Lily P has a snack, they are constantly at her feet making her crazy. They are always waiting for a little something to fall on the floor. :)

Punk loves to share sometimes, which is probably why they only bug her when she has food.  Durban needs to lose 3-4 pounds and her sharing her snacks with him doesn't help!

Love this face!  Lily is definitely our most dramatic child.  Whatever she is feeling, you will know! :)

Oh, Punk!  What do we do with you???

{This Wonderful Little Boy}

This little Jett makes me SO extremely happy!  He has the sweetest disposition.  He has a great imagination and loves to play.  I love watching him play and I wish I could make him stay this age forever.

I am so thankful for his little personality in our home.

Jett with Durban.  He loves to have 'picnics' with Durban and Durban is such a good dog, he just sits there and participates.  :)

Playing 'tea time' with big brother Derek.  I am so happy for the moments when these two actually get along and play nicely.  They are such different personalities.  Love them both SO SO much!

Playing 'fix it' with me.  I had to take a few photos of him in his cute tool belt. 

So precious... 

Little hands holding his tools.

Building a house in his Batman jammies. 

I must have done something right to be sent this amazing little person.

I adore him.:)



{We Made it Through January!}

I am SO happy to have made it through January and survived!  January is always such a hard month for me.  The little ones are trapped inside and it is so gloomy outside.  I'm excited for February!  My Blake and I celebrate our birthdays this month!!!

I have added a few new things to my Pearlie Girl shop.  Since I am celebrating my birthday this month, I am going to be offering a 20 % discount to all of you lovely ladies that read my blog. 

Use the code BDAY27 at checkout. :)

Hope everyone is having a very wonderful February 1st!!!

{Snow}

A couple of weeks ago we had a pretty good snowstorm.  I am NOT a fan of snow.  I really need to live somewhere with warmth and sunshine year round.:) 

Lily P has never liked the snow either.  Even getting her to touch it isn't going to happen.  But when all the other little ones got their snow stuff on and went outside, she wanted to join them.  She was so unsure at first but then loved it!

The kids had so much fun having a snowball fight with dad and of course the boys were really rough and it was freaking me out a little. :) 

I feel like we got to play in the snow, now it can all go away and not come back for a long time!

Punk Pants in the snow.  She couldn't walk, it was so funny watching her.

Jett just wanted to sit and eat snow.  That kid will put anything in his mouth!  Yuck!

Ky making a snow angel.

A snow Lou.  She loves the snow.

Daddy helping Lily P to walk.  So sweet!

Snowball fight. 

{A Party for Punk}

The day before Lily Ps birthday party she had her two year checkup.  We found out she had a sinus infection and double ear infections.  Poor baby girl. :(  So, on the day of her party she wasn't feeling her best.  But, she still had a lot of fun...

Lil' P with her Mommy & Daddy

Opening her presents.  She LOVES opening presents!

Hanging out on the stairs with her new Belle doll.  She got a matching dress that I haven't been able to take off of her since.:)

Goodie bags and cupcakes
