Peek-a-boo & pictures!

Who doesn't love peek-a-boo???

Caroline doesn't care if her face is hidden or not...if her hands are up--she's hiding!





Happy Amelia!

Gram watched the kids while Royce and I went out to eat for his birthday.
Looks like she has it all under control with a mean game of Go Fish!

 Chloe prepared lunch for she and Royce on his birthday.  She spent all morning setting up the table on her bed.  She originally sat the table for the whole family, but I convinced her maybe just dinner for two with she and daddy was a better idea.  They had a nice lunch-hour. 

And here are some almost-3-month pictures of Stella.  She's so sweet!


I tease Robynn that she uses an eyelash curler because Stella's
eyelashes curl so pretty!  Love them!


 Ahh, alseep in momma's arms.

Smiles!

The other day Robynn was over and I left the twins sitting up in one room while we went to another room.  We got back and this is what Isaac had done to the babies:) 
He was so proud! 
It was too cute. 


Daddy and  Amelia
happy as can be.

Peeking Caroline!
The babies are so funny, when one makes noise in their crib the other
has to get up to see what the commotion is. 
They pull down the bumper bad and peek into the other's crib.  


Sunday we made a trip to Grandma Pfannenstiel's farm.  Isaac calls it "the white farm" I think because Grandma's house is white.  The Purinton farm is "the red farm" I guess because of the shed.  Whatever helps him keep them straight!  Chloe and Isaac love playing on the hay bales at "the white farm" and it warms my heart because I have the same childhood memories.  

Gotta strike a pose!

Grandma Purinton's 91st Birthday


Grandma Irene Purinton turned 91 on January 14, 2012.  We celebrated by having a pizza party at Mom and Dad Purinton's house.  Who doesn't want a pizza party for their 91st birthday?!? 


Irene and Leonard have been married for 65 years.

Happy Hearts!

We had a little mini-shoot with Valentine's outfits the other day. 
I think the outfits are from Gina's girls but they worked great for us with a few pieces we already had.
So thanks for the hand-me-downs!

You can see the girls help each other out.
You scratch my head....

I scratch yours.

And your nose... 

And your ears.


Amelia left, Caroline right.


Totally innocent until proven guilty.


Ha!  Don't even know what to say here!

Let me straighten that bow for you.

Yep, that's better.

I'm still innocent.

Oooh!  Now we can gang up on brother!

Kicking in the house?!?

Yes, kicking in the house.
I do allow the playing of catch and kicking of footballs in my house. 
Well, the kicking has to be done in the designated area of my front hallway.  There's really nothing that Isaac can hurt there.  At least for now...I am aware that I will regret this someday.

All lined up...

Running up for the approach...

Oops--I missed!

Maybe I'm more worried about mom taking my picture
than where the football actually ends up....

Another bobbled kick.
But I look GREAT doing it!

Success!

Of course I had to get pictures of him in his stance!

And another one!
He is my funny little boy.
I love his imagination!


More Christmas Pictures

While in KC at the beginning of December we took the kids to Bass Pro to see Santa.  It worked out perfectly!  Chloe told Santa she'd send him a letter and Isaac told Santa he wanted "a Lightening race track, with two tracks, and one Lightening [McQueen, from CARS], and one Francesco".  Santa knew that Mommy & Daddy were getting him the race track so Santa brought the bicycle instead! 


Unfortunately, Annabel did not enjoy Santa quite as much as Emma did.
Love this picture!  An instant classic, for sure!

And here are some seven month pictures of the girls in their Christmas onesies & hair bows.
Have to photograph each outfit, you know!

Bath time!

Caroline is squeaky clean!

How's it going over there?
