Happy Valentine's Day

Love This Girl!!!!!

This video speaks for itself. Hope you get a giggle out of it too!

This Is What Happens......

when Mommy goes to the hair salon! She comes home with MORE
hairbows!! Ridiculous!

Ashlie and I are in charge of our "Kick-Off to Reading Night" at school, which is the first week of March, so we had to get together for a couple hours today and discuss our plans. The girls hung out, playing and reading together!

Sippy and Piggies

We have had a couple milestones the last couple days while we have been locked up in the house during our snow days (three in a row, might I add....nothing like a surprise 5 day weekend)! Norah drank out of her sippy cup for the first time yesterday. I had tried giving her the sippy about a week or so ago and she showed no interest, so I thought I'd try again. She took down two ounces like it was her job! Such a big girl! Then, she had piggies in her hair for the first time yesterday. Just too darn cute! And last, but not least, she is sitting up on her own, no Boppy pillow or anything, for a minute or so at a time. I told some people last night, I just want to push her over and say, "No, not yet.....you can't sit up like a big girl yet!". But, the reality is setting in that she is just growing up so fast and we have lots more milestones and fun times to look forward to!!!!!!

"How do I get this thing in my mouth?"

"Nope, that's my hand......"

so close.........I eventually had to hold the cup for her.... :)

"I know I am cute with my piggies in!"

Is That Another Celebrity?

Conan O'Brien, is that you?

Nope, just Norah Brining again! :)

Baby Cashmer

Bri and Kyle came to visit this past weekend! We had an absolute blast. They are expecting their first baby in May, so of course I had to take the opportunity to take pictures of that growing baby belly! We did a lot of visiting, the boys played numerous (and when I say numerous, I mean 30 something) games of ping-pong, and played games! Norah had lots of fun with her Auntie Bri and Uncle Kyle too and she can't wait to meet her new boyfriend or best girlfriend next time we see them!
**Sorry for all the pics in this post, but I wanted to share some belly pictures**

Birthday Party

We were able to celebrate Norah's great-grandpa's birthday a couple weekends ago! He is celebrating a young 80 something birthday! Doesn't he look great! It was wonderful to celebrate with all of the family Happy birthday, Harold!



"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..."
