Mom, lets talk about snow.


This is the conversation Bella and I had on the way home from the store the other day. 


Bella: Mom, do you like the snow?
Me: Not really
Bella: Well I do. Did you like it when you were a little girl?
Me: Yes, I liked it more then.
Bella: You did? And did you build snowmen with Papa?
Me: Yeah, probably.
Bella: And did you play in the snow with all your Brothers and Sister?
Me: Yes
Bella: So what did you guys like to do in the snow?
Me: We liked to go sledding, build snowmen and snow caves and make huge snow balls. And we would have snow ball fights and pull each other on the iced over roads. Sounds fun, huh?
Bella: Yeah! You'll have to teach me how to have a snow ball fight. Are we going home now?

Oh I love our little talks. She is so smart and always wants to know more and more about everything. 
I love my little Bella!!

Little of this and a little of that...


Not sure why some of these pictures are turned sideways. So annoying.  Anyway just some cute pics from the past couple of weeks. 

Every time it snows Bella wants to go out and make a snowman. And last weekend we finally got enough for her to do that.
Daddy and Bella pulling Lyla around on the sled.
This is how the girls watch their shows when I am watching my shows during the day. Don't judge!
She is my little cleaner. Always walking around with a wash cloth scrubbing the walls or the floors.
My precious little 4 yr old. She loves her new church class in our new ward. She is a CTR-4 now, so crazy! 
Little picture time before church.
My crazy little 15 month old. Love this baby.
I love these girls. I'm biased but they are both so beautiful!! Lyla is totally in the cheese ball face stage when the camera comes out. It's so cute! And Bella is in the sassy I'll do whatever I want stage.    
And this is from today. She's so silly. Love her!

15 Months

Our baby turned 15 months yesterday. She is still crazy and refuses to say anything except Mama. Occasionally she will say Dada or what sounds like Bella and Whoa. She is super smart so I don't understand why she can't or won't talk. She understands everything you say to her or tell her to do. Crazy baby. She loves to heckle her big sister. She is super funny and has such a fun personality. She has the best laughs, yes she has several. She does one when she knows she's being funny and one when she is heckling and another when she's just laughing. You can't help but laugh along with her. She has to do everything that Bella does. She's not about to be left behind. She still whines all the time. Everyone says she is way worse when I'm around. Oh well. It is pretty annoying though, I wish she would just start talking. Good thing her funny cute little self compensates for her whiny annoying little self.

Things Lyla baby is loving/doing right now:
-sitting in a forward facing car seat and loving it
-likes to watch Dora but only in the car because she is trapped
-loves to play rough 
-gives kisses and squeezes when you ask
-eggs and mandarin oranges are her favorite food
-still has a bottle at nap time and bed time
-starts undressing herself when you say the words bath or shower
- Bella, she loves her big sister

Those are just a few things that I can think of right now. We've had a long weekend with everyone being sick. Throwing up, runny nose and who knows what else. I guess I'll be finding a new Doctor tomorrow. I think baby may have another ear infection and possible strep. So she's been extra awesome the last two days. 

We love you crazy baby girl!
