It's snowing...

As we were eating supper Mae looked out the window and said "It's SNOWING"

This is the second time this winter season we have had snow at our house. Excited about tomorrow! Snowmen, snow angels...cold cold hands!!! The weather man predicts 8-11inches.

19 months...

Jet is turning into such a little "big" girl. We took one side of her crib off this afternoon. Lately she and Mae have been playing on Mae's big girl bed...and we think Jet will want her own very soon.

She likes that she can climb right in...

and that there is no room for sissy...

No, Rock you won't fit!

They do have their sweet moments.

Dad reads a few favorites before bed.

Sweet dreams baby girl.

Look how BIG...

Rock at 7 months.

Ht: 33 inches at shoulder

Wt: 115 pounds

It's a new year...

It really is hard to believe that a year has come and gone. This time last year Mae was 26 months and Jet 6 months. They both have grown so much. Both have learned many new things.

Both spent the late summer and early fall with the Tiger football family watching the Tigers dominate and go 13-1 for the year.

In July they were introduced to their first family pet Rock. He has taught both of the girls how to be gentle and to keep their food out of reach. This is hard considering he stands 33 inches at the shoulders and weighs 115 pounds at 7 months old. The girls adore him and truly would not know what to do if he was not apart of our family.

Mae can sing the alphabet, loves doing puzzles (even mastered the 65 pieces) But my favorite thing that Mae started doing in 2009 was singing in the car. She has eclectic taste ranging from The Black Eyed Peas to AC/DC. She is stubborn and bossy, silly and loving. I can't wait to see what 2010 has in store for her!

Jet started walking,talking and wreaking havoc. She is non-stop! She loves dancing, her signature move is the stationary gallop. Running onto the court during basketball games is a habit we hope she continues. She is wild and sweet....what will "Madd Dawg" do in 2010?

Jet ends Festivus (Mae we warned you she would get you back)

Christmas...

We had a wonderful Christmas. We were able to spend time with our family and friends, and make new memories.

The girls loved our Christmas tree. Jet would even wave "bye-bye" at bedtime.

Dave read the Christmas story to the girls on Christmas eve.

Wearing new PJ's that Ma-Maw and Pa-Paw gave them and sitting on their new tricycles from Nana and Pop. (this was the only way to get a shot of them together before bedtime)

Santa left the girls some nice gifts. Next year maybe they will play with their own gifts, instead of sisters gift. Jet likes Mae's hair doll.

Mae enjoys Jet's doodle pad.

The tree is down. Decorations are back in storage. In about 11 months we will do it all again :)

We have SNOW!!!!!

It started snowing late Friday afternoon. We were so excited! Could not wait to get out this morning and play.

Jet liked being outside (did not like her 2 sizes to big boots, had some trouble walking)

the Sister pic...nice pose



It took Mae a while to adjust to the cold.



Rock & LJ running the fence

"Bud" the snowman. Dave had a little help from his girls.

("Our Other Mother" is so wonderful to let us build snowmen in her front yard)

Look who came...

I guess ole' Clarence was just waiting for the mantel to be decorated. He flew in last Saturday night from the North Pole.

I almost didn't see him until I took this pic of the fireplace. Rock had no idea what was going on.

But there he was just taking it all in. He said he had a great trip down here, and was looking forward to seeing the girls.

The girls were anxious to see him. And they have been pretty well behaved (they still have their moments) Each night Clarence flies back to the North Pole to give Santa the daily report, and is back before the girls wake in the morning. He has found some really great places to sit during the day. He's worried Rock might mistake him for a chew toy....so far so good.
