November 2015

Laynie is started to talk more clear (although she still babbles A LOT and I am the only person that can understand sometimes).  She still loves to take lids off of markers and put them back on likes to talk about colors.

Laynie also likes to say her bedtime prayer

Momma and Dada got away for a much needed (and deserved!) adult weekend in Dallas with our best friends.

 

 We celebrated Marlee's birthday at gymnastics.

 

 Marlee had to try on her new mermaid tail blanket when we got home and she moved all of her balloons into her room.  She loved her Birthday.

We celebrated Thanksgiving lunch at Ma & Pa's house

 And we celebrated Thanksgiving dinner at Memaw & Papaw's house but I guess we were too exhausted to take an pictures!

Other than that, we got out of the house as much as we could,

 

 

 

we are gearing up for pirate night on our upcoming Disney cruise,

Laynie took her first shower,

Magic (our elf on the shelf showed up at our house,

and we are counting down the days until Christmas!

It sure is a busy and magical time of year!!

One more picture of Laynie cheezin on my lap.

October 2015

Marlee loves to help me cook and clean

 and she loves to wear lipstick (she asks for it sometimes before we go somewhere!).

 She still loves to build towers (I think we build "the biggest tower ever" every day).

 And her new favorite thing is arranging "tea parties" where she piles everything on the floor or on a table.  It is really testing me!!!

 

Laynie is in the "don't want my picture taken" phase so I don't have many of her.  She is really hard on herself and will put herself in time-out when she does something wrong.  I have to try hard not to laugh!

I also don't want to forget how she calls Marlee Laynie.  We all get a kick of it and I will be sad when she finally figures it out!

She loves the skinny tag on her blanket and I often find her rubbing it between her toes.  Her blanket has replaced the bear since the tag on the bear wore out.

We went to Frozen on Ice in Tulsa and the girls absolutely loved it.  The also loved the hotel.

  

Laynie wasn't sure about the pool at first but she warmed up after awhile.

 

 We were worried that Laynie wouldn't sit still for the show but she sat there mesmerized the entire time.

 The were both worn out after the show and Marlee asks me about once a week when we can go again.

The girls went on a pumpkin hunt with Jack & Jill.  Ma said Laynie was the first to spot a pumpkin!

 We went to a local pumpkin patch to pick a pumpkin to carve and naturally they wanted these huge pumpkins.

 

 We settled on a smaller one and took it home to carve it.  Laynie kept saying "Wow!" and "It's hot"

 Marlee and Laynie were both Elsa for Halloween and Marlee wanted James to be Kristoff and me to be Olaf.  Her wish was granted...and Frank was Sven.

Since Halloween was on a Saturday this year, we went to Fort Smith to Trick or Treat with Josie and Hayes.  They all had so much fun.  I wish we could Trick or Treat together every year.

 

 Josie dressed up as Anna and they would tell everyone the were sisters. :)
