iPhone Picture Dump

   I love being able to take pictures with my phone, but sometimes the pictures get lost on there.  These are in no particular order, so in some my kids look really little.

This is when Sammi pulled our toy shelf over onto herself.  Luckily she didn't even need stitches, which was pretty amazing.  Poor little thing.

This was another incident when Emerson pushed her into the corner of the wall and cut her head open.  Luckily Grandpa was able to take us to his office at 9 pm and glue it.

A rare treat.  She has been a much worse napper than Emerson.  She just runs on less sleep.  I can hardly ever get her to take a nap, and when I do she is up talking to herself and reading herself books in her room until 11 pm.  So most of the time she just goes without and then goes to bed at 8:00 and sleeps until 8:00 the next morning.

This is her in what she calls her Rapunzel dress.  Obviously she thinks she is very gorgeous.

This is her favorite outfit.

It must be tiring looking so gorgeous all the time.

Documentation that I am fun.  I let them go outside to play in the snow.

The girl loves to be beautiful and sits still so well to have her hair curled.  It's a treat because her hair is stick straight.

This was later the same day.  She hijacked the neighbor's bike and helmet, and somehow her pretty ended up clipped to the chin strap.  It is very serious business, as you can tell.

And...much later the same day.  She went from being the World's Most Adorable Girl to the World's Homeliest Girl.  That orange and black frosted pumpkin-shaped donut didn't help matters.

Sammi decided to sit and read to Emerson while he was asleep.  It was probably the most attentive he's ever been to her.

Sometimes Preschool really takes it out of you.

Sammi thinks this is her Princess Sofia dress.  She twirls and twirls every time she wears it.

I secretly snapped this picture one day of Daddy playing princesses with Sammi in her room.  It melted my heart.

This is the kids playing "Collection".  It comes from Ariel's collection in her grotto.  Basically, they just grab a bunch of crap and pile it on the stairs and then pretend to sleep.  Whatever keeps them entertained. :)

Sammi's first big-girl ponytail!  Unfortunately it was short-lived because she got her hair cut the next day.  I love her hair cut, but it's just shorter and layered.

Sammi has been into Angelina Ballerina lately.  We had this leotard from last year at Christmas when we visited from Ohio and forgot swimsuits and this was the closest thing we could find after looking at all the stores, and the tutu was a cute party favor from a friend's birthday party.  So luckily they appeased her.  And of course the Ariel shoes complete the outfit.

Emerson is in ice-skating lessons this winter.  It honestly started out as just something to get us out of the house so I could talk to my good friend from Residency every week since her son was enrolled too, but E has gotten amazingly good and really enjoys it now.  His little body on the ice is hilarious because he's so tiny!  Not to mention his tiny skates.  I'm really glad we had him do it.

This is the kids on Valentine's Day with their little I Love You presents from Mom and Dad.  We got Sammi some ballet slippers, and Emerson a new Rescue Bot.  They were both thrilled.  Most of the time they are such good buddies, but that doesn't mean they never fight.  Unfortunately they do...and usually when Mommy is hungry and therefore very grumpy.

This is from forever ago in the summer when Sammi was even smaller.  I got out of the shower and saw her sitting on my bed like this.  I hate to have a picture of my unmentionables, but she is so smart to know how to wear it!

A rare picture of E looking kind of at the camera and smiling his darling little smile.
