Cute Hair

On Sunday I came out of the bathroom to find a little girl named Ali COVERED head to toe in Vaseline. I thought to myself... "She is starting to take after her brother..." Then Cole comes around the corner and is covered as well... Then it all makes sense, Cole was the culprit! I wish I had a picture, but it was such a mess and I didnt have a chance to take one. So here is the after shot of Aliyah. There wasnt much I could do with a slick head of hair, I did wash it, but it wasnt all the way out. So here is her cute do!!!

A WINTER WALK

I was starting to forget why I wanted to move to Alaska... then I walked outside today and I suddenly remembered. It really is a BEAUTIFUL place. I was able see some sunshine and go for a walk with my kids.... what more could I ask for???

MY BIG BOY!

Cole is now sleeping in his big boy bed... I was really worried about letting him out of his crib tent. ( the picture is from the first day we got the tent)..... but one day he just asked for a big bed. So we went out and got him one and he only tried to come out a few times, but I was just really persisitant with making him stay in. I threatened to put him back in the crib.. and he didnt want to do that! So I am really proud of him. Also he has been potty trained during the day with no accidents for about three days in a row. Hopefully he keeps it up! He told me that diapers are for babies. So I guess he has decided he is big now. Good job Cole! I am a little sad that hes growing up... I dont want time to go by so fast because I enjoy him at this cute little age.

Some cute pictures of Aliyah

Just kickin it

Cole started soccer and its the cutest thing ever

Hes not much of a team player yet... he says "Its my ball" about a hundred times per game

But he does have the kicking down pretty good so far

And did I mention that this is "Cole's" ball?

And the winner is...
