We'er Baaaaaack!!!!!

I don't even know... But at this point, nothing surprises me with Emma-Grace.
Anna's castle.Emma-Grace's favorite hiding spot... REALLY tricky!
Snack time with one moon boot on ... its cool...
Another special thing that big sister gets to do is sleep in special daddy made forts on weekends with daddy and NOT baby sister...

Another one of Emma-Grace's fashion statements.The girls love Yoga. Here, Anna is doing the tree pose.

Princess Sisters.

Beautiful princesses... Emma-Grace is Barbie from the Three Musketeers and Anna is Cinderella. See both young ladies are wearing high heels? Both are quite good at running around the house in them.ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Daddy & Emmy!

Emma-Grace sure is cute when she dresses up like a princess... although I just don't think she can pull off the long dresses like Anna can... Short and squat body types with tennis shoes just don't go with long dresses!


Sweet big sister at bed time.
So sweet at bedtime.
Here Ken is showing the girls how to hang a curtain hook.
On weekends Anna gets to stay up late and watch a movie and eat popcorn. It is a big sister privilege.
Sister love.
See the glob of ranch in Emma-Grace's hair. Bet you didn't know ranch dressing is an excellent hair styling product... Just as a reference, Emma-Grace tried Red Pepper Humus as a styling product this evening from the left overs of her snack. The results were not as promising as ranch dressing so I didn't take a picture of it.
Anna loves see food!
So Silly... That is a place mat.
So sweet... "Assuming the position" as Ken and Uncle Alan call it.
Emma-Grace loves paying dress up with big sister.
Princess Anna... playing dress up.
Ta-Da!!! Emma-Grace's favorite word is "Ta-da" and she is good at pulling off amazing acts! Like this one... How did she get one sleeve of a long sleeved onsie off while wearing overalls and being strapped into her seat?

Warning: This WILL Make You Cry

Ken is networking our computer to our TV so we can watch videos and pictures on the TV from our computer. He came across this one which I am sure has been posted before on this blog. I cried so hard when I watched it. You (Sara and Grammy) will too!

This one is especially funny because at school last week, all the kids had to get up and say their first and last name. Anna knows her name is Anna Cecilia Budry, but she stood up and said "Anna Banana". When the teacher said it was her nickname, she insisted that it is "Anna Banana". I guess that we got her started early on the banana part... I didn't remember this but came across this video too.

They are just growing up too fast!

Pictures from Aunt Sara's Friend Michael

My sister, her husband and their friend Michael came in to town before Christmas. Michael took a bunch of pictures of the girls and gave them to me. They turned out awesome. Here are just a few, although they were all awesome.

More Catching Up!

For some reason, Anna was watching TV like this.

Sick and tired Emma-Grace.

Living room picnic!

Anna made a smiley face out of her breakfast. See it?

Showing off her clean plate! Sister reading time.

A friend of mine gave us a pair of his son's old Spongebob Squarepants pants. Anna loved them, but dressed them up a bit. No surprise!

Hooray!!!

Well, it has been a long time since I posted anything. We went through a period of extreme business over the holidays and then our computer died. Fortunately, we were able to retrieve all of our pictures, so the world didn't end.

Since I have so much catching up to do, I am just going to post pics in no particular order. Enjoy!

Emma-Grace did NOT like Santa.

Anna did!

Crazy Hair!

Meals

The computer with all my pics still isn't working... so here is another story for you. Monday night, Emma-Grace ate a 2"X5" piece of lasagna, a salad with dressing and croutons, two handful of grapes, a cookie, one string cheese and then an hour later an 8 oz bottle.

On Tuesday we took the girls to McDonalds for a treat, and Anna ate a 4 piece chicken nugget, her apples, chocolate milk, one half of Emma-Grace's cheese burger, one third of my medium french fries, and a whole small french fries all by her self. Emma-Grace didn't eat too much, but she was probably still full from the day before! I think Anna was partially milking the experience because we were sitting at the high top tables and she didn't want to leave!

Not sure what is going on with their diets, but they have been chow hounds!

Responsibility

I know I am very delinquent in posting... it has been so long! Part of the problem is that our computer is going haywire and all my photos and video are on the desktop that is slowly dying. We are planning on buying a new computer after we figure out taxes. So until then, the pics will be a little sparse.

But I do have a story to share... It is about Anna and how much of a big responsible girl she is. So we were sitting home today and Ken decided that he wanted to go to Toys R Us and look at their Wii remote prices. So we told Anna that we were all going to go and I told her to go potty. She started to go upstairs and I reminded her to go potty and she turned around and said that she needed to do something first. So I told her to hurry. A few seconds later she came back downstairs holding her piggy bank and asked us how much money we thought was in it because she wants a new doll... talk about breaking my heart! She made the connection from hearing that we were going to Toys R Us, what was at Toys R Us, what she wanted and what she needed to get what she wanted. What a big girl! Fortunately for her we left the money in the piggy bank because she had a Toys R Us gift card from Uncle Paul and Aunt Lisa from Christmas. Also being the smart mommy I am, I had a $5 coupon for a barbie so she still has money left on her gift card. What a sweet heart! We keep getting teary-eyed when we think about what she did.

She is growing up too fast!
