Braclete for Grandma Jansen

Riley made this bracelete, especially for Great Grandma Jansen. She loves to make things for people she loves.  
Update: At the Jansen Christmas Party, I noticed that Grandma Jansen was wearing the braclete that Riely made for her. I commented that it was sweet of her to do that just for Riley. She told me that the last time Riley saw her, Riley gave her a scolding for not wearing the bracelet and she wasn't going to make the same mistake again.

Grandma Came to Visit!

Grandma decided that she missed the grandkids and needed to visit.  Also, Olympia is feeling every bit of her pregnancy and needs help and so Grandma came to the rescue.  Since my kids get up at the crack of dawn, she started the day with a spot of warm juice with the kids.

Painting Pictures

Riley loves to paint and she painted these for fun. Eli joined her and he painted the reindeer picture just for his teacher, Miss Levielle.

Silly and Messy Face!

Ok. I admit, I don't remember why this picture was taken, but it sure makes me laugh.  She is such a character.
I do see chocolate in her mouth.  She absolutely loves chocolate, especially Daddy's chocolate.  Daddy made the comment that he looks forward to the day when she tries other chocolate and doesn't like it.

Update: For Christmas this year, I filled the Advent Calendar with all sorts of candy. One of which was some cheap chocolate. Morgan loved it, but the other kids didn't. Daddy was pleased.

Here is another picture of her with a messy face in June. I love babies with messy faces.

And messy bodies. A bath is in her future! (This is a picture from the end of June. Her growth is amazing!)

Nutella from Nae-Nae's visit in June. It's chocolate, not a mustache. :)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We had a tricky leprechaun come to our home last night and change our milk green, walk all over our walls and leave a treat under the rainbow.
Notice, Riley is wearing Eli's green shirt. He was concerned that Riley would get pinched during the night and so he convinced her to wear his shirt.

Cool Shades

All by Herself

Can I just say that she dressed herself?  That is all I need to say.

Fun with Asher and Evie

We have been enjoying our cousins from downstairs for the past few days.  Oly is pretty sick from pregnancy and so we have been dividing and conquering with children.  We watch movies, play outside in the sandbox (except Eli plays pretend Legos), and sit on the white-trash lawn chair.

Happy Pi Day!

An epic day, that can only be celebrated with pie!  Happy pie day to all on March 14, 2015 at 9:26 P.M.

Outside with Daddy

Here we have my two cute girls playing on the swings with Daddy.  As you can see, they love their daddy and being outside when the weather is starting to warm up.



Here are some more pics of the girls outside during the same week.

Morgan Loves Daddy!

Even if he is sleeping.  She also got stuck between the mattress and the wall.  He works so hard that when he is home, he somehow slept through it.

Riley Just Woke Up!

I love how Riley looks when she wakes up.  She usually sleeps in and when she strolls into the kitchen, I tell her good morning in a happy tune.  If I don't, she reminds me to say it. Sometimes, she makes me come in her room and wake her up.  I love her so much.
This morning, she woke up with messy hair and puffy wake up eyes. She asked me to take a picture and so I did.

This picture is from the same day. She drew a picture of Jesus' hands. I love how spiritual she is.

Update: Eli drew this picture of Jesus on the cross in April. I love it so much, I put it on my fridge to remind me of childlike love for the Savior.
