Halloween 2009

Here some Halloween pictures of the girls. 





Heading to the pumpkin patch




This is Katelin taking a picture of herself.  It makes me laugh!


Trying to get two toddlers to look AND smile at the camera at the same time with tractors running all around is near impossible.  These are the best I could do!




Katelin as a Fairy Princess.  She was so excited!

A New Step

Well, I am happy to report that Katelin is FINALLY potty trained.  Today is day two of no accidents.  She still wears a diaper to bed and only poops in her diaper, but I'm not too worried about that.  She'll get it eventually.  Also, Maddie is FINALLY walking.  Seemed like she'd never venture out on her own.  But she's cruising around the living room now.  Its too funny...she walks on her tip toes most of the time, so her balance isn't all that great.  But its cute. 

Life is really good right now.  The girls are growing up fast and learning new things everyday.  Katelin already knows her alphabet and can recognize letter, but is now starting to learn her letter sounds, and loves to watch Sesame Street.  Maddie is following right along with Katelin and pretty much does everything she does....but what's funny is Maddie doesn't like to be helped or have her hands held (unless she's walking).  SUCH an independent spirit.  Gee, wonder where she gets that from?  ;)

I have some pictures to post, but I think I'll wait until I get the Halloween pictures up and just post them all.  Happy Halloween!

Family Pictures

I know, I've been so bad about posting updates. Madisen turned one on 8/31. Had a pretty low key birthday party...but she said her first word there..."cheese," while getting her pictures taken. Uh oh. I think we have a drama queen on our hands. Katelin is growing up more and more each day. Her vocabulary and sentence structure is astounding and she LOVES the alphabet and pretty much anything to do with letters. Maddie is not walking yet, but crawling everywhere and climbing on everything. She so desperately wants to do everything that Katelin does. Its too cute...they are best friends!
Here are some absolutely ADORABLE pictures we had taken a couple weeks ago. Enjoy!

My babies are growing up

I know...I've been really bad about posting new pictures and doing an update. I've finally gotten around to it. As of today, Madisen is 10 months old and Katelin is 26 months. They are both growing up so fast. Here are some great pictures taken over the last couple of months.


Mmwah. Kisses for "sister."


"Look at me, Mom. I found your sunglasses."

"Happy Easter!"






Two peas in a pod. They are inseperable!




I think Maddie looks just like her Papa Spencer, here .



Katelin managed to climb up onto the window seat and this is her reaction to being "discovered" where she shouldn't be. She thought she'd get out of trouble by saying, "Hi Mommy!" She didn't!



Katelin's 2nd birthday. "What, I have MORE presents to open?"



"Ok, I'm ready for my cake now."
"Mmmm."
"Oh boy...I think I had too much frosting!"
Maddie looking fresh after a bath and ready for bed.


Katelin on the swings at a park in Salt Lake. We couldn't get her off them and she cried for nearly 10 minutes in the car after we left.


Katelin on the carousel at Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake.


Katelin and cousin Izzie jumping on the tramp at Izzie's house. Can you tell they're related?!



Ready for the sun!

Too cute

Anyone who knew me as a child, knows I was an avid thumb sucker. I sucked my thumb until I was about 5 or 6 years old. This is a pretty standard picture of Madisen sleeping. She goes down with her pacifier in her mouth, but it no time she'll yank it out of her mouth and stick in her thumb. She has yet to start twirling her hair with her other hand, like I did as a child!


Like mother, like daughter
