Hattie and Daddy

Hattie and Daddy were watching the birds, squirrels and other animals run around our backyard last weekend.  Such a sweet shot of them and the natural light coming in the window.

Chase's 100th Day of School Conversation

Chase and I were laying in bed talking about his 100th day of school celebration. This is how it went.

 

Chase: Hey mommy tomorrow is the 200th day of school!
Me: It's the 101st day. Today was the 100th day.
Chase. Tomorrow is a special day at school! It's the 130th day of school.
Me: (laughing) No it's the 101st day. Yesterday was 99, today was 100 and tomorrow is 101. It's just like counting up.
Chase: Wow I didn't know that (101) even existed!

Me: (laughing)  I love you Chase.

Chase:  I love you Mommy.  Scratch my back and sing to me.

Hattie's Babies

Hattie LOVES her babies. Loves. Loves. Loves.  She could play with them all day!  She has probably 7-10 of them and they lay all over the house.  She loves to give them bottles and make noises like they are eating it, change their diapers, put clothes on and off, hold them and pat their backs. She is such a good little Mommy.  She's funny with thetm because one minute she will be gently holding one, patting its back and the next moment she throws it on the ground and runs to get another baby, which also gets thrown on the ground in a pile. 

Getting the diaper ready

Hattie also loves diapers!  The more the better!

"Yeah diaper!"

A Snowy Moment from Last Year

I found this in my journal and wanted to blog about it .  . .

April 4, 2014 I watched Chase and Owen frolic in the April snow from our living room window. They were on the play set, got down, and started to run after each other in the snow. They were just bounding up and down smiling at each other laughing. Then Owen threw himself up and back and did a snow angel. Then Chase fell back and did the same. It was maybe my single most favorite moment. I just smiled and laughed from ear to eat. I just loved their joy and their love of fun and they are my boys! I was just beaming and couldn't have been happier.

Christmas with Nana and Papa Anderson

Right before Nana and Papa Anderson got to our house on the 9th, Hattie learned to say Papa !:)   everyone was so happy and excited to see them! We only had two little Christmas trees up, but it was still festive.  The kids couldn't wait to dig into all the pretty presents my mom had wrapped.

Owen and Chase got wiper glasses! They thought they could actually wear them in the rain. he he

Hattie helps Nana open her present.

"What, is this for me?!"

Hattie got a sweet little cradle for her babies and just loved it!!!  She knew right what to do and started rocking her babies.

Then she picked up the cradle to take it into the playroom where the boys go.

Another big bag for Hattie?! She's excited!

Hattie and Mommy

Oh how I love my sweet little girl. She just loves her Mommy too, which makes her all the sweeter.  She yells for "Mama" and reaches for me and throws her arms around my neck hugging me tight.  In these pictures she is wearing her super warm and cuddly sleep sack

Makeover

Owen and Chase were helping me clean the bathroom one day and found some of my jewelry and hair accessories (the bows are actually Hattie's). They combed my hair and gave me a little makeover.  :)

Hattie's Toe Lint

Oh my, Hattie loves loves loves to pick her toes and get all the lint out!  She will take off her socks, sit down and lift her little foot up as far as she can and look between all her toes. She's so funny and cute!  Sometimes she lays down and looks too!

Big Girl

Hattie is such a big girl!  She is into doing everything Mommy does, Daddy does, and brothers do.  She loves to put her straw in her sippy cup and smile up at me.

 

The other day it was quiet in the room I knew she was in. I walked into the play room and I couldn't see her but I could hear little sounds she was making.  I paniced for a minute, then heard her and walked toward the toy box.  There she was sitting behind it.  She looked up at me and said, "Hot!"  She was sitting on the air vent and it was blowing hot air!  She loved it!

One of my favorite looks because it's so funny!  Blank stare, usually followed by a scowl.

Goofs

Hattie's lip is always hanging down like this. Cracks me up!

Check out that hair, it's hard to deal with!

Do You Want to Build a Snowman?

We had a beautiful day in January (actually lots this year) and we got outside to play!  Hattie doesn't really love walking around in the snow, but she did it. 

Owen, Hattie and Jeff

Hattie loves being on the big snowball by Owen, and she LOVES her puppy hat!

Cousins Sophie and Gavin came over and Jeff built them a fort.  They loved it and cried when it fell over.
