Our Darling Kaylie is a Mini Martha Stewart! She loves to cook and she is actully really good at it! She loves to make up her own recipes! She made sliced up apples the other day with apple filling and cinnamon in the middle..they were Amazing! Also she made Graham crackers for Ryan and I with melted mint hershey kisses in the middle! She is so creative,I just love her!
Her little note to her Dad and her treat! 
Our Little "STINK " Brooklyn Kate!
So our Sweet,loveable Brookie has turned into TROUBLE lately! When you can't hear her that usually means she is getting into something! Her latest indeavors are: dumping out any cereal box she can get her hands on or taking the whole box of q-tips and throwing them all over the bathroom or playing with the kiddie toilet seat! She has gotten herself stuck under our bed twice and loves to pull out drawers and sit in them!
The Whole box of Teddy Grahams and she looks at you like she did no Wrong!
Yes, here she is in the bathroom drawer!
But she is so Cute with her little dollies wrapped in a blanket
Then Bed Time is a JOKE with 3 girlies!
Trying to waste time and being cute with Brookie!
Pretending to sleep and Brookie being ADORABLE!
These two have Adorable seperate rooms But they still just have to sleep together! Sisters..Friends Forever! 
So my goal in 2009 is to Relax and enjoy being a Mother! I have so much Gratitude for all I have and especially my children! I want them to remember me as The Mom that played with them and listened to all their little stories and songs! I am so Thankful that I have the opportunity to stay home with my children and for Ryan's Job. My girls are growing so Fast and I don't want to miss a thing..Hence all the pictures I take..YES, I am a little picture happy! These Beautiful words from Sister Hinkley made my whole Day just a little brighter!
"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someones garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.

CARIE YOU MADE ME CRY WITH THIS ONE. I GUESS I REALLY NEEDED TO HEAR THAT. SOMETIMES I GET CAUGHT UP IN THE WANTS INSTEAD OF REALIZING THAT I HAVE EVERYTHING ALREADY. THANKS A BUNCH!
