Outfit 4: no pink!

okay, so there is probably some pink in here somewhere, but the main color is not pink:) I love this color on her! Isn't she beautiful?!! And yes, she owns about 7 skirts!

Day 3 (outfit 3)

I didn't realize how much pink we had in Rachel's wardrobe!! I told her on Monday she HAS to pick a different color, and she thought that was a good idea:) Last post on breakfast. This is mostly for me:) I'm so happy that I made 3 good breakfasts in a row. Today was waffles, sausage, bacon, banana and milk! Next week: cereal, cream of wheat, oatmeal and pancakes; our staples:):):) I love this flower skirt, but I'm not too sure about those socks!! Poor Rachel! Still as cute as ever!!

Day Two (or outfit 2)

As a side effect of having girls, I like to play dress up with them:) So I will be posting Rachel's cute outfits over the next week. Yes, I know I'm crazy!! scrambled eggs, sausage, mixed fruit and oj: she's off to a good start! Pink yet again! Hopefully tomorrow we can choose a new color!

home sweet home

I was happy to get Rachel from kindergarten, even though I knew she had a great time. Waiting outside to get Rachel are daddy and Jayden Rachel saw me and yelled for mom and ran as fast as she could and gave me the biggest hug! I hadn't gotten teary eyed until I posted this picture. I'm so happy she missed me! Mom and her girl. I love you Rachel!

Kindergarten Cuteness!

I first have to say that since this is my blog I get to post as many pictures as I want...and I think my kids are the cutest!! I hope I don't torture anyway with all the photos:):):) ***UPDATE: I just remembered that Rachel did something super cute this morning!! I was in the shower (don't picture that part), and Rachel peeks her little head in and says, "mom, am I late for kindergarten?" She is too funny!!! I love that girl and I love that she is so excited for school. She reminds me of myself. I still want to go to school! Love you Rachel! Today was Rachel's first day of kindergarten! She was extremely excited and totally ready to go! I kind of feel like a bad mom. I didn't even get teary eyed, but I'm thinking that's just because Rachel was so happy and fit right in. I guess it also helped that we were in a hurry and I didn't have time to get mushy:) Here is the cutest Rachel ever! She picked breakfast today: fluffy pancakes, sausage and orange juice. Yummy! I liked both expressions, so you get to see both:) Of course she had to wear some pink! She picked this outfit herself! Her backpack is my favorite, I love polka dots. You can't tell but her shoes have dots too:):):) Rachel and her best friend Julia. Rachel at her table with a new friend. Rachel introduced her self and kept saying hi, but this little girls was too shy. Rachel can fix that! Rachel looking so beautiful.. times 2! Okay, here she looks a little drugged, but I had to get a picture of her whole table. She somehow managed to sit by her best friend Julia, lucky girl!! I have to say I'm no fan of her bangs, but she wanted them so bad she cut them herself...and then we had to fix them just a little:) Have a great day at school Rachel!! I know you'll do fabulous!

Dress Up and Good-Bye Isaiah!

Okay, so my blog depression post made my mother-in-law feel sorry for me, so she's letting me use her camera:)!!! Now I can go photo crazy again!! Some pics still aren't that great due to the photographer:) Jayden received some really cute dress up items for her birthday and Rachel thought she should help Jayden put them on...too cute!! All the way from start... To finish!! Beautiful Girls! We did a last little photo session with Isaiah. We only watched him a week but the girls loved him!! And these pictures are WAY better than the ones before! I had to squeeze one with Jayden and I in:) Isaiah and Me. Rachel took this so it's alittle blurry but not so bad:) Isn't he just PRECIOUS?!! I had to include this because Jayden is so funny!! She's really upset here because I wouldn't let her have the camera. Sorry girl! Jayden and Isaiah snuggling. A good-bye kiss! SWEET!

Blog Depression

I'm back! I've been a little depressed lately because my camera doesn't work at all!!!!! Therefore, I have not been taking it with me to all of our fun adventures! Hence, I don't want to blog!!! But, I'm getting over it. I will live with crappy photos for a while until I can replace my camera. I just get so mad because I scrap book and I like my photos to look good. What's a girl to do? But, I'm back on track. Summer is all done, and it seems so short because I'm missing photos from fun events! Next up is Jayden's birthday party, which was amazing!!! I had my sister in law take photos with her awesome camera!! As soon as those are downloaded I can blog them. It might take a while because there are always sooo many photos!! After that will be Rachel's first day of kindergarten! Get ready for some sappy posting when that happens! Til then, enjoy all of these fabulous photos of my family!

Haircuts!

School starts Wednesday, yes Rachel starts kindergarten, I know, I'm a little sad about the whole thing! And Jayden has never had a haircut so we went and cut their hair. Okay, so you can't really tell, but they do look better. I'm so mad at myself: I have no before photos or photos of them at the salon! This camera depression is really taking it's toll:) Aren't they so sweet? Rachel looks pretty here. Yes, her bangs are cut right, it's just that one side seems to always want to be with the rest of her hair and the other side obeys orders. Oh well, she loves the bangs! Jayden looks so precious here! I love my girls!

The girls are in love

As a favor for a friend I'm watching her little baby Isaiah for a week. The girls are in absolute heaven! They love him so much. Rachel insists on feeding him and burping him and playing with him. Too sweet. Now if only Jayden wouldn't smoother him so much, my life would be easier! I wish the photos were better, but this is what they look like when the flash doesn't work and lighting is bad! Rachel is so happy to have him around! Jayden is so happy to have his car seat around! a little big girl, don't you think?

On the cupboards?!?!?!?!

When we first moved into our house Rachel was the same age as Jayden is in these photos. After church one day, she climbed on the counter to get her cup for some milk. We of course took photos and they turned out so cute we thought we'd reenact the photo shoot with Jayden. I'll try to get a photo of Rachel up soon so you can compare, but they're pretty dang cute! We gave Jayden the same hairstyle, outfit and there's even a box of Kix out just like Rachel's had. I know, we're a little weird, but oh well. We like it! I love my fuzzy, angel taking dumb camera. NOT!

Parks!

I love Paramount park in Shoreline. It's one of the things I miss most about living there:) When we visit friends there, we often visit the park. Here's the girls on their bikes...and yes they are in matching outfits. Cute, uh? Jayden can't quite reach the pedals, but she tries and wants to ride so bad! The cuteness! I mean seriously, it doesn't get much cuter than that! Rachel on her bike. yes, she still has training wheels. Mostly due to bad parenting, bad roads in our neighborhood and her lack of ability to balance. Sorry Rachel! You'll get it one day! We went with some friends to Cascade park for the day. The only pictures I got were of Rachel on the zip line! Go Rachel! Don't fall! I also took a turn but sadly, no pictures!

Sunday Dress

Sometimes before church, my girls look so cute that i have to take pictures! This is one of my favorite dresses of Jayden's! I like Rachel's, but it's not my favorite of her's. She absolutely loves it though! They are so cut together. If only Rachel would stop giving me the fake smile!!
