Orderly Camdyn and Beauty and the Beast

If anyone at all out there is still reading this :), I have been doing great updating from my cell pictures! Fuzzy but good memories right?

Let's start out with Camdyn Reece. She likes things in order and on one particular day, I found 4 things that had been lined up around the house---baby dolls, nativity people, Hershey kisses in the pantry and letter magnets. This child is a neat freak! I tell you no lie that she has come up to us on many occasions stating the following words "Momma, I'm going to go clean up my playroom and surprise you!" ---in about 30 minutes she will have that playroom looking like an adult cleaned it up...very unusual I know! She is one of a kind.

After the babies were all lined up on our bed (thanks to Cam), Dustin added Maddy to the end of the line--she fits right in.

Love these little awards that Camdyn gets at school.

The other day at school Camdyn had "sports day" and of course we wore our A&M bow and shirt to support Daddy. I can totally see this on her graduation video before leaving for college :(

**I DO have their college already picked out for them and I hope they are okay with it :)

Check out this floppy eared big smilin' baby girl!

Camdyn is now going on her 4th movie at the movie theater and boy does she love them! This was her first 3D movie though! It was pretty funny...I handed her some glasses and she quickly put them on and then after I put mine on and they fit like a little granny---I realized that they had ones for children and ones for adults. Nice...



She had such a great time and even told me how much she loved being there. :) Sweetness

She dug into her little snack box and didn't move from her seat. I forgot how precious that movie is and ugh...the part where they are dancing to "Beauty and the Beast" ADORABLE!



(Picture ME with this size of glasses on)

When we were finished we walked out of the movie and it was sunny outside. Sure enough, she requested to wear her "new glasses" outside. :)

Next stop was a bubble tea! Let me just say that since they opened one in our town, I have been um...4 times in 2 weeks.

January sightings

Can I just say that Camdyn and Maddyn are spaced perfectly to me apart?! Camdyn is at that independent age where she can pretty much do everything on her own EXCEPT drive herself somewhere :)...however, give her the car and I guarantee you she could find her way around our town! This comes in handy when having an infant!

Maddy likes having people close by or where she can see you and I think her most favorite person to watch is Camdyn. She bobs that head around and smiles the whole time she watches big sister play. If I'm busy doing something in the kitchen and I need Maddyn entertained for a few minutes, Camdyn always willingly runs in there to set something up for Maddyn to watch and explore. I hope they always have this love for each other.

Maddyn fell asleep on daddy one night...

BUT then she heard mommas voice and did this :) :)

*She has my heart and she has a tight hold on it!!*

When Maddyn was born I purchased her a sweet chewable giraffe and now she loves

being able to chew all over it

Who are you?

The tooth fairy came to visit Camdyn at school one day so we got
extra sparkly and fancy for her. Camdyn kept saying "I am going to show her how good
I clean my teeth!"

I don't know about you, but I love having a "party" on my arm! You can never have enough random bracelets piled onto your wrist! :) Oh, these are just a few that I picked up at Target...gotta have way more than this at one time!

It was gorgeous one day so we scurried outside to take it all in. This baby especially loved it!

I love these two girls and looking at their sweet smiles

Hard to see but it is just precious watching Dustin and Camdyn walk places together. They are always holding hands and talking away.


I call Maddyn my kitty cat. Those hands are always going and going, swatting at anything she can get them on! When we read, her sweet hands are always trying to touch or change the page.

Here are the girls dressed up for church one Sunday. Now that I look at this...I think the tops of their outfits matched!

Happy Monday!!!

Babies

Here are some pictures of my sweet babies in the past month.

Every Thursday night---EVERY---we do a "Friday dance" and Friday mornings as well. This particular morning we got a photograph of the babes doing their dance. :)

One Saturday night the sisters and I got together for a date night. We had so much fun and I miss Taylor not living closer!

Maddy all dressed up for church. It's funny how I never put headbands on her compared to her sister. I think Camdyn grew up thinking it was glued to her head! She sure does look cute though with one on!

When we get home for dinner, I always try to include them some how so I don't feel like I'm cooking and not spending time with them. This baby is either attached to me in the bjorn or in her bumbo seat close by. Camdyn is usually under my feet playing with her baby dolls.

You know you have a great house cleaner when you get home and she has accepted your child's obsession and OCD over having a thousand animals in her bed every night-- AND--- she has arranged them on her bed!! ha! This made our day when we came home to see this.

Cammy had pj day at school one day so Maddyn decided to sport her Hello Kitty shirt too! (Love those long leggers!)

We had a really chilly week here so Maddyn was sure to wear some warm hats...



Love this picture and it shows exactly what our days are like! Daddy spending time with one calm/chill baby girl and then the other super outgoing monkey laying across him! ha!

I believe this is truly how Maddyn feels about Bozley. She loves watching him but I can only imagine what she is thinking..."Who is this furry short human that is always around me?!"

New Year's Eve and pure goodness

Gotta love the times now that you can get your phone out and snap a picture! Every picture today are from my camera throughout the past month. Here are some photos and a little description to go with them. Happy Monday!!

Sweet baby always sits in here while we eat dinner together as a family...waiting and watching every bite/drink that we take. She looks at us as if she can't wait to be able to eat food like us!
One more month baby girl until you can have some baby food!

Checking out her crochet little booties :)

Cam is always entertaining Maddyn and on this particular day I asked her to give Maddy some toys to play with and this is what she did. I guess she thought Maddyn needed EVERY toy that she owned. :)

Airplane on momma is the BEST!

On New Years Eve, Dustin and I like to stay close to home to stay away from all of the "crazies" on the roads at night. We have the best time when we are together. Love this guy...

Gigi and G-dad came over and watched the girls while Dustin and I went to a little winery for a glass of wine and then to eat dinner. Love that we were home by 8:00 pm to be with our babies to ring in the new year!

This little girl had a special New Years treat! Milk with cookies!

One day during the break Camdyn and I had a date and went shopping for some candles, McDonald's for lunch and then she got her a little manicure. Dates with her are so much fun.

Sweet Hello Kitty play dough fingers!

UP next...more pictures from my phone :)

Christmas and the break

Yes! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and some events leading up!

I'm pushed for time because I am ready to watch a new show with Dustin so this will be a quick one. Pictures always strike memories so I'm hoping this will work when we look back on our past :)
------------------------------------------------------------------
A few days prior, we waited in line to see Santa. He is our usual Santa that we see every year and boy is he precious. We started seeing him in Allen on Camdyn's 2nd year of Christmas. LOVED having this sweet baby girl get to join us this year.

Camdyn and Daddy went on a Christmas date one day and had lunch and saw Alvin and the Chipmunks. He sure loves him some Cammy.

The night before Christmas Eve, we went to our church service. It always makes Christmas so memorable. Love our church

**I know, I know....I'm not sure why my baby girl always looks like a fake baby doll

Christmas Eve we headed to visit Dustin's side of the family

Christmas Eve we made Rudolph and Santa cookies...

*I have to add that Dustin bought Every.Single. Gift (except for some jammies I got Camdyn) for Christmas. Every day he came home with something new. He knows her so well!

This one by far was the cutest and such a good choice!

Here we are Christmas morning celebrating Jesus' birthday and the gifts Santa brought us to celebrate! *Love tying in Santa with Jesus instead of separating the two*

See this robe? No lie...I immediately put on the green or pink one every day when I get home! I cannot rock Maddy to bed without it...so snugly and warm :)

Coolest baby toy ever!

Chocolate ice cubes = chocolate milk!

So excited she had to jump a bit! :)

*Love this face...she looked up at us like "Is this the movie I have been wanting for forever?!"

And had more family time at Nanna and Papas!

And let's add that Camdyn and I always have to have fancy matching nails!

Christmas will be here again before we know it! :)
