Halloween 2011

I know that a lot has happened but I wanted to post a few pictures of the girls from Halloween this year.  Tatum wanted to be Snow White and Kaleigh was Minnie Mouse this year, too cute!  Next year we will be able to better coordinate the girls and their costumes, that's an advantage to having two girls so close together, I love it!  Oh I forgot to mention that just for Halloween we told Tatum that she would get to wear some of Moms makeup and she was so excited to put it on and be a big girl like Mom.

Miss Tatum as Snow White

Little Miss Kaleigh as Minnie Mouse

This year we went Trick or Treating with our good friends the Richardsons in their neighborhood and had a great time.  This time Tatum was old enough to comprehend the whole Trick or Treat concept and had the time of her life going door to door saying Trick or Treat and getting candy!
       

A Season for Change

These past few months have brought significant changes in our family that we are so very grateful for!  We were able to move out of Johnson Ranch over to the Chandler area after living there for 6 and a half years. We love our new beautiful home and the fact that we are now closer to family and friends.  Oh and did I mention it doesn't take an hour to get any where now, which is AWESOME!!

It just amazes me at how quickly the time flies and how fast my precious little girls are growing up on me.  When we moved here Kaleigh was capable of crawling all over the place and now she is one years old and almost walking!  I can't believe it, my baby is getting so big!  Here are just a couple of pics of her and Tatum since we have moved.

So I think that she looks a lot like Wes, especially when she smiles, I love it!

I love that the older the girls get the more that they want to play together and be together.  These days Tatum is even willing to play with her sister and seems to love her so much.  Funny story about the girls loving each other.  One day Wes and I were out running errands or something and had to take 2 separate vehicles and so he took Tatum and I took Kaleigh with me.  The whole time that I had Kaleigh with me in the car she cried, I had no clue why at the time.  Finally we met back up with Wes and Tatum and I put Kaleigh in the truck with Tatum and the moment she saw Tatum her world was okay again.  It became very clear to me just how much Kaleigh loves and needs her big sister.

They love to rough house with each other!

These Girls are CRAZY

So I was having a hard time thinking of anything creative to call my blog of our family on the fly.  Just as I was about to give up the girls started getting crazy on me as usual and that's where the title came from.  Ever since Tatum was little I always told her that she was crazy and now she will even say all by herself, "I'm crazy!"  But I guess all little kids that are 2 years old and 10 months old are pretty crazy but let me tell you having two of them only 15 months apart seems to make things a bit more crazy!  I wouldn't change a thing, I love my girls to pieces!!

 

Kaleigh is awesome at making the funniest faces and I seem to  capture them a lot of the time!

Someone was having a bit of a melt down

It seems as though Tatum started hitting the terrible twos a little early for my liking, I think she was probably about 18 months or so when she started getting feisty with me!  Despite the fact that she is a girl and filled with drama of all sorts she is the sweetest thing ever.  One of the first phrases that she learned all on her own was "Love You" and she says it all of the time.  It melts my heart every time she says it.

Tatum and her dad were having fun with a little mini nerf gun and she was giggling the entire time they were playing together.

Bath Time!

So just in the past couple of months I have started giving the girls their baths together but only when Wes is home so that he can help out at the very end.  They LOVE it!  I think that Kaleigh likes to be in the big girls bath tub with Tatum, who could really care less, but they still play really well together and make a huge mess with their splashing.

Ever since Kaleigh was born she has always had more hair on the very top of her head then the rest of her head.  So it makes it really easy to give her a mohawk with shampoo, even though she's a little girl.

Brand New Blog

So I decided that after having a few issues with our other blog that I would start with a clean slate!  So here we go on the adventures of us and our two crazy little girls.  This is going to be short to start with only because Kaleigh is just waking up from a nap and that means I have to stop for a little while.
