Hippo on the move

Greer is literally just steps from walking on her own. The Hippo is just for looks these days :)

Ahhhh...the age old bouncy ball

Easton and Greer spend countless hours with a super ball, bouncy ball, crazy ball whatever the favorite name is to a kid and an adult.

Hockey INSIDE the house?!

I have lost my mind! I have allowed HOCKEY to enter my home this winter AND in the LIVING ROOM! I MUST be over tired or over worked. LOL! Greer wasn't much of a goalie. Besides....There's no teething in hockey...or was that crying in baseball?!

Library Time

Easton and Greer love a night at the library each week.

Greer explored puzzles and the ship and Easton was a puzzle man and then was researching bush babies with Miss Elizabeth the librarian.

Is someone watching me?

What a face! Was she up to no good or what! Meanwhile, Easton was hiding in the closet eating grapes. Never a dull moment here.

Hey, Pizza Guy!

Easton showed off his true Italian heritage with mom and made his first pizza snack. He was a pro and begged to make more.

Reaching New Heights

Greer loved here time tonight in the Jumping Johnny!

Unfortunately, the only door frames we have to hang it from are the bathrooms. :(

Super Bowl?

Greer gave new meaning to a super bowl.....She loves to play in the dog's dishes. Thank goodness they are empty 99% of the time.

First Self Feeding

Before......................

and After.....we have some table manners to work on before Prom.

Winter baseball

Greer was playing in the "in" field, as Easton was playing the "out" field with Bullet in a game of baseball. Greer was certainly expressing herself about the window between them. You can only imagine what happened when I called Easton in and ended the game after 20 minutes. He too showed his feelings on that call. He just loves to be outside and by the looks of things Greer will be right behind him this spring. (Disregard dates on pictures. The camera needs to reset itself. It was 1/18/07) .

Big Girl Seat ...with a movie!

Greer graduated to a forward facing big girl seat this weekend. She was none to happy at first until she realized she could now watch a movie in the car, then she thought "Where is the popcorn!"

Snow Envy

Greer was quite jealous of Easton as he played outside with Bullet. She was at the window just screaming at him. So instead, we ventured to a new world of "drinkable yogurts" and she managed to finish two with no problems. I guess the jealousy thing was over quite quickly and we got in 6 of her 24 ounces of daily dairy in doing so!

Carhart Boys

Easton is now expressing his manhood in his first set of Carharts ( Snowpants were an after thought so they will be on the next venture outside. He refused to take off his black ones so I could change him in fear that I woul dnot let himback outside).

Dan is a proud dad today!

Snow Day!

Well, I was blessed with a Snow Day from school today...one of the perks of the job. Although, last week it was no fun trying to dodge the yucky virus that is going around as 26 kids are coughing and sneezing inches from me.

Easton took full advantage of the freshly fallen snow. It was Bullet who fell victim to repeatedly bashed with snow balls. Easton would not come in after an hour and a half. He SHOULD be a Minnesota kid.

Birthday Breakfast....

Greer and Gina enjoyed a birthday break fast of pancakes. Greer can now eat a whole pancake herself and then some! Next stop....Party Clothes! Boy is Daddy going to lose a lot of money each year on January 13th!

The Day of Greer

Wow, what a wonderful day we had!

Greer celebrated her 1st birthday and mom celebrated her 27th AGAIN!

Greer was so into the day as you can see with the cake, friends and of course presents.

Big Brother Easton was such a help as well. As we decorated he said, "Where are all the people?" Thank you to all who attended and shared in the celebration. The best part of the day was Greer smearing the cake all over, and all of the guests had colored lips, teeth and tongues from the frosting. Even 93 year old Great Granny had a green tongue!
