Getting big

It crept up on us, but Reid turned two and a half last week! ...and all of a sudden, 4 years old seems so grown up too.

They are growing up so fast! I have had several moments this week when I've looked at both of them and thought "you are so big. How did that happen?!"

She put on all the stamps for all 50 Christmas cards, all by herself!

Something about him that day just made him seem so much more like a kid than a toddler.

Ahh, I hope I never forget these stages of their childhood!!!!

Funnies

Reid- sitting in his crib, not napping. He has been yelling for 20 minutes now and he just said "Is anybody out there? Who is out of my room? Hello? Mommy, I have a question for you! Is anybody there?!". Hahaha, I couldn't stop laughing! 

Then when I finally went in to get him, as soon as I opened the door he says "Mommy, when I'm a teenager, can I have a shoot gun?!" (OMG, seriously?!)

-----------------

Sierra uses the word "human" instead of "people" and it often makes for some pretty funny sentences. The other day she wanted to hand out some crafts she had made. She said "I am going to take my pictures to hand out to some humans when I see them!".

--------------------

Reid, after rolling around on the rug, he said "Isn't that a cool trick?! I learned it at HEB."  :)

------------------

Sierra drew a picture, brought it over to me and said "here Mommy, this is for you and your husband." Then she looked over at Kyle and smiled. Precious :)

A real tea party

Our church had a mother - daughter tea party and it was so fun to get dressed up together for it! We got to eat cookies, cupcakes and tea for Mommy/chocolate for Sierra. We drank out of fancy tea cups and had a great time :)

The program was geared towards older kids but Sierra loved the singers!! After about an hour, she said "is it over yet?! This is the longest tea party eeeverrr!"

All she wanted to do was go outside and climb trees. So we snuck out early and did just that...in her fancy dress :)

Later that night at home, out of the blue, she said "Thank you Mommy for taking me to a tea party to have that special time together." I love love love my sweet girl :)

B&N

We love Barnes and Noble! So many fun things to read and play with!!

This picture is a great image into their personalities and how they like to play: Sierra hugging a stuffed trash can (it did have a raccoon inside. But the child will hug anything animal related). Reid roaring the big dinosaur. He is always pretending to be a bad guy, superhero or just making loud scary sounds.

Their animals are kissing :)

Hugging the big T-Rex, as if he were a sweet little baby. Haha, she makes me laugh!

Sweet siblings

Sierra just told me "Mommy, Reid is my favorite brother ever that God made because I love to play with him every single day!" :)

I love them!!! And I love that they are such good friends!!!

Avocado

Every time we eat an avocado (which is a lot around here), Sierra asks if we can plant the pit.

So finally, we did. It took almost 2 months, but we finally have a root!!! It's been so fun to watch it grow every day!

Sunday football

If football is on, the kids want to cuddle with Daddy and watch. True Texans :)

And sweet moments.
