Dinosaur obsession for 4 year!!

After 4 years of being obsessed with dinosaurs, I realized last February, that I have never taken pictures of Tyler with his favorite toys! We lined up a few (of the hundreds that we have) and grabbed a couple pictures! Just before Tyler turned 6 in October, his interests really transitioned to Power Rangers and Pokemon...Dinosaurs were OUT for a couple months, but they just came back in!! Luckily, I pulled all of the dinosaurs out of the TRASH before Douglas threw them out!! Don't ASK me what he was thinking....I knew they would make a come back!

Just one snowy favorite!

I had to include just one more snowy favorite!! I just love this one...

Crazy Kelsi...

As we enter the winter months here in MA, I had to share a few pictures of my crazy girl from last February 2011!  We did a little shoveling after coming home from Pat's house! She gave Kelsi that hand-me-down coat that way and Kelsi just HAD to wear it that instant!

Tyler's love of technology...

Tyler's love of technology got into full swing in 2011...He loves his leapster, tag reader, clickstart my first computer and now the REAL computer...he loves to go online and play games at pbskids.org or any other site that has kids games modeled after his favorite tv shows. He loves Trevor's DS and now he loves Angry Birds on our Iphones (that is new this fall)... He even loved the Wii at Bennett's house on Thanksgiving! I am sure that this love of technology will only get stronger next year!

Playdate at Erin's New House!

Last January, we had a get together at my friend Erin's (new!) house...Erin and I used to teach together. We have a lot in common to this day, and could literally chat for hours....We stayed most of the day (while our floors were being worked on during the kitchen remodel), and we could have stayed for days! It has been almost a year since we got together and it feels like just yesterday! The kids played really well together and Kelsi was in love with their new addition to the family!

What naptime USED to look like...

It is crazy to me that just a year ago we were still doing naptime (some days) and rest time on all of the rest! Just one short year later those days are gone!  I just love looking back on these to see how little she looked in her bed! She is a couple inches taller now but seems SO much bigger because her vocabulary and thought process have made dramatic jumps in these last couple months of Oct/Nov. 2011...Turning 4 has been a big jump for her:)!

Matching!

Looking back to last January, it was the start of Kelsi dressing herself! During this year, she has become extremely independent at wanting to dress herself and attempt to match it herself (they both have stripes so they "match" of course...right?). She has become SO much better at matching, than in the first two pictures! This was also the start of wearing Mama's shoes and slippers daily! She loves to put on any pair of my shoes that she comes across!Almost one year later and her interests haven't changed much...she still loves her babies!
