    Little ME

    4 Comments

    This little girl is reminding me more and more of myself these days. She has a temper, she never leaves her blanket, she cheers for my sports teams, she climbs and plays and follows her brothers everywhere, and she has a good throwing arm.

    This is HER blanket – she loves it!

    I had to post more of these Cali pics because she’s just a cutie and I was told by my mom to post a picture as soon as I could get her hair in pig tails… She wore them to church yesterday for the first time. She looks so big and grown up all of A sudden. So this morning we got all ready and ran out to take a picture before getting Benji off to school and… her pigtails were already falling out and messed up – – ughh, they looked cute when I did them but as you can see she has very fine hair and is going to need some product to keep it from frizzing. O well. I still think she’s cute 🙂

    It looks like she's been through a day with this hair - not a minute!

    Showing me her cute sandals - so happy it is warm out!

    all of a sudden she looks like a 2 year old!!

    my little babies - don't tell Packer I called him little

    these 3 are looking so much alike lately

    Tracie and John

    My sister Tracie and her husband John moved to Alaska back in August… and we haven’t seen them since –

    a week or two before they moved

    Technically I did give Tracie a ride to the airport at Christmas so I saw her for 45 minutes. Anyway – they were going to come say hi to us this weekend but all of the flights were full :(. We were going to rock climb, play some dominion, eat homemade ice cream…. and the kids always love it – you know how it is – the fun aunt and uncle before they have any kids of their own so they have all of the energy and time to be Super Fun. We were bummed when they called early Friday morning to say they didn’t make it.

    We had a work weekend instead. Ben was up early Saturday morning working on a side project and then we got the lawn mowed before heading to Benji’s soccer game. Where we need to document his first… dribble!! No – not a goal, but he actually kicked the ball 3 times in a row on purpose. The whole sidelines erupted with cheers. I guess Ben and I are not the only ones that have noticed his tendency to step backwards when the ball comes towards him 🙂

    The Soccer Dribbler!

    After the game we pulled up to our unkept yard and beautiful weather and just started working. I weeded and then Ben put new bark in all of our flower beds! It looks way better and was way over due. Anyway, we missed Tracie and John and hope they get to come soon but we ended up with a fun and productive weekend.

    And this is the cute shirt that Tracie made for Cali!  I went through her wardrobe and found some summer clothes and specifically some bigger shirts to cover her big belly 🙂
