Valentine Cookies
My mom decided to have all the grandkids over on February 8th to make sugar cookies! She had the dough made ahead of time, but then the girls did the rest!

Lucy the Dog?
We used to just call this toy the caterpillar but it now has a name. Delphia got this toy for her 1st birthday and she never really played with it. We recently got it out for Josie and Delphia immediately took a liking to in. It has balls that sit on top and roll around when pulled but Delphia doesn't care about that.
She calls the caterpillar Lucy and she will correct us if we don't call it Lucy. It sleeps by her bed (only because we told her she couldn't sleep with it) and if Lucy isn't upright she makes sure to turn her over.

Sister Princesses
The middle of January we had a activity for Activity Days on a Saturday for the girls and their parents. The theme was "Daughter of a King". It went really well and was fun but I am glad it is over and done. We had ordered crowns for the centerpieces and let the girls take one home.
We had extra and when Shane came over with the girls to help clean up Brenda's daughter asked if the girls could have one.

Fish Out of Water
Josie lovesher bathtime. We used to bath the girls together, but now when it is bathtime Delphia asks if she has to bath with Josie and the proceeds to tell us that she doesn't want to because Josie splashes and gets water in her eyes.
Shane gets Josie out and gets Phia in while Josie lays on the floor all wrapped in her towrl.
Just A Few December Days....
We were visitning at my mom's one day in December and she had a stocking laying out with fuzzy trim. Delphia spent the day filling it with things and my mom told her she could take it home. A couple days later I came in the room to her using it as a hat and telling me she was Santa Claus.
Studio 5 Contest Entry
A local TV show (Studio 5) recently hosted a contest in which you made something for $5. You could use 1 thing that you had on hand and then buy the rest with your $5 budget. I had the frame on hand and painted it blacks and just added the rest. I tried a couple different things and ended up with this.
I wasn't going to enter because I didn't have the time and the dealing was coming up. Brenda e-mailed me and said she had entered and wanted to know if I had so I whipped this together the day the entries were due.

If I Listen...
This is the new song they are learning in Primary. Delphia picked it up pretty fast. We taped this about 2 weeks ago and she knows it even better now. She will be playing in her room or this morning she was playing on the piano and singing at the top of her lungs. It is so seet and I am so glad she loves this song!
Zoomer
Just a video of Josie zooming around the kitchen. You truly have to watch out for her so you don't get ran over or step back and step onto her walker! She is fast and she loves it! Her little feet when they go backwards just crack me up. She looks like she is moonwalking!

Valentines Countdown
I ran across this cute Valentines countdown www.katharinesthoughts.blogspot.com/2011/01/valentines-day-countdown-creative.html and I knew I had to make one.
On the back of each day I will write an activity for Valentines. I know that Phia will have fun with this. I invited my sister over and she made one with me!

Trouble
This little on is just troble! She is very mischievious! You would never guess by looking at that sweet little innocent face, but we are going to have our hands full!
She zooms all around the kitchen in her walker and she knows just how to position herself to pull every magnet or paper off the fridge or dishwaser.
Today in Sacrament Meeting she kept leaning over the bench and dropping her toys. I would pick them up and she would throw them. Fast forward to class time. She was on the floor playing and I look down and she had pulled the diaper bag forward and was eating Kleenex. During Sharing Time she had a fit because I wouldn't let her play with a plastic bag.
She is an absolute tease and loves to tease her sister. She is a doll and we love her but I am already getting glimpses of what is to come! Looks like a lot of excitement!

Like Mother, Like Daughter
This is my girl, who likes what I like for the most part. On this day she wanted Cream of Wheat for breakfast with toast. She even likes to dip her toast into her Cream of Wheat and her oatmeal.
Shane and I have decided that she has my tastebuds since she likes a lot of things that I like. She likes oatmeal, yogurt, Cream of Wheat, anything pumpkin, peanut butter and she does not like sloppy joes like her daddy!

Random Funnies From The Past Few Months
1) Everytime Josie poops she pulls on both of her ears. It is so hard not to laugh when she does it!
2) Delphia calls Josie Josie Jaddles.
3) Delphia finally stopped having accidents after she decided there was a Pee-Pee Monster who would come and get her if she peed her pants. What a blessing that has been. I was to the point that I didn't know what to do. She tells us she's not finished potty-training but every morning she wakes up and tells us that she is not going to pee her pants because she wants to stay with us and not go with the Pee-Pee Monster! We will have to remeber this when we try to potty train Josie.
4) Delphia went to Sunbeams for the first time today and we didn't know what to expect since we have had problems with her going to nursery because she is "done with the little people!" We walked her into Primary and she went and sat by her teacher. After Sharing Time she walked to her class and gave me a hug and went on her merry way.
5) Delphia thinks that Tinkerbell protects her room by sleeping in the corner of her bed.
6) Josie loves to point her finger. If you point your finger she will reach out and point with her finger and touch yours.
7) We call Josie our Roly-Poly. If you lay her on the bed she rolld over right away. It is quite the feat to change her diaper.
8) Delphia is in love with Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Tink
Grandma Freeman got Delphia a Tinkerbell dress-up box for Christmas. Now, 2 weeks prior to Christmas she became a huge "Tink" fan. She loves flitting around the house in her "Tink" costume.
Just now Shane was getting ready to get her in the tub and she said, "I love wearing these Tink clothes, but I am ready for them to be off."

Trouble...
If you haven't ever seen trouble in a walker, here she is....
Put her in her walker and she will work her way over to the blinds. She's not real great at walking forwards but somehow can really move backwards.
She loves to stand and gets going when you let her hold your fingers. She just wants to walk it seems. She loves her walker because she can stand and play.b However, watch out when she really starts moving in it!

Phia the Belt Stander
Yes, you saw right. That's how Delphia travels all around the house when Shane is home. About 6 months ago he had he stand on his belt so he could "hold" her and do other things that needed done. She loves it!
The other night he was in pj's and Phia wanted to stand on his belt. He told Delphia that she couldn't because it would make his pants fall down. She pouted and cried and so, Shane being the softie he is went and put his belt on over his pj's.
Christmas Eve
Tradition on Christmas Eve is to spend it with the Freeman side. This year we got together at BJ and Haleys. We just talk and visit and the kids play.
This year Amanda had brought the supplies to make graham cracker gingerbread houses. The kids had a lot of fun. Delphia really liked the sprinkles.
Then there is the annual grandkid picture. Some years go really well depending on the age of the kids and others not so well depending on how tired they are.

Phia Writes Letters
On Christmas Eve we were waiting for Shane to get home and Delphia brought out her Magna Doodle (this is the best toy we ever bought for her!) She wanted to write words, so I would write a word that she would say she wanted to write and she would imitate the letters underneath.
We have worked on the letter A and she points out every letter A that she sees. Next week are are working on the letter B, Number 2 and talking about polar animals. She simply loves to learn!

Stocking Hat
My mom sent this stocking home with Delphia after Delphia had so much fun playing with it one day at her house.

Sisters Have Fun!
I will admit, I love my girls. I was really hesitant to have two girls together, but now that I have seen them interact with each other and their concern for each other, I know they will best best buds (most the time.)
If Josie is crying Delphia covers her ears and tries to figure out why she is crying. She will tell us, "She is crying because she doesn't want to be in her car seat." or she wants to be held or she is hungry.
If someone takes something from Josie, Delphia defends her.....but on occasion she still makes her cry by taking something away.
Mobi-Go
I have a Moby that I wear to carry Josie in. Delphia has a scarf that Melody crocheted for her 2 years ago. Delphia always asks me to put her Mobi-Go on so she can put her doll/animal in it.
