Ready for 2010!

We had a great Christmas and Santa was very good to all of us. Looking forward to 2010 and the arrival of Baby Casey in February.

The soon to be Big Sister! We had a "pool party" at the University Marriot the last night my parents were here....Mabel and Kate loved it.

Taking a bath with cousin Kate....super fun.

Mabel loves Kate alot....she loves giving her hugs and burrowing her head into Kate...the key is to be gental.

I got to take these two cutie pies out for a walk the other day in our double stroller...it's good practice for me come March! It made the stroller make more sence too with two of them in it. It was a smooth ride and they were good as gold.

The girls playing in Mabel's crib after Kate and I went to wake her up.

Does it look like I caught her doing something she shouldn't be doing?

What a weekend!

If you come and visit, this is who will greet you at the door!

She is getting fast!

Does it get any cuter then this?

Holly cow these girls are unbelivable.

Does she look like me?

Or does she look like Pat? A good mix of both :)

A tooth and walking in the same week!

Yeah it's been a big week in the world of Mabel. She loves it and we love it. Her tooth is pearly white and getting bigger and bigger everyday. She fused a little about it but not bad at all :) Walking is her new all time favorite thing to practice...the video is from a few days ago and she is already better then what you see. Enjoy :)




This is Mabel brushing her tooth....it has become part of our bedtime routine.

This is her brushing and walking...double threat :) Ha

Cutest girls in Salt Lake City....Kate came over and played the other day and was a dream.
