Lawrence Friend Thanksgiving

The Lawrence Crew does a Thanksgiving party for our friends every year and this year was the best yet! We had a total of 40 people at our house and 14 of those kids. Funny how we have grown so much! 14 kids from three months eight years. It was so crazy but so much fun. They just ran around, cried, fought, laughed and some of them ate...So much fun. Can't wait to see who adds one to the crew for next year! Honestly, I cannot believe we got a picture of them all. It was quite the task! Harper kept screaming-"mommy I'm holding two babies!"- when she got to hold Parker and Adley. She was so excited!! Was anything this much fun before we had kids??

Our Monkeys!

It has been awhile since I've posted so I'll just give an update. Harper had an ear infection last week and was home from school everyday so Mimi came to stay with her. They had a great time and did lots and lots of crafts! She is still so in love with her sister but we have to watch her like a hawk- she squeezes Adley so hard!! School is going great for her. She has learned how to spell her name and points out H's everywhere!

Adley is still working on standing up but was sick for about a month so this has put her mission a little behind. She can pull up- and does so on EVERYTHING and puts anything she can find in her mouth. She has grown to LOVE eating! She eats cheese, turkey, green beans, fruit, tomotoes-anything she can get her hands on goes into her mouth. She is growing so fast- my little tiny pixie!

Halloween Past

Ellie and Harper have trick or treated the past three years. Look at them!! What big girls they are now!!

Halloween 2009!!

This Halloween was so much fun! We were all pumped up and ready to go- then Troy got sick and we had to go it alone!! We got all dressed up and headed over to Lane and Ellie's house and trick or treat for a bit and then back home so daddy could take Harper out some. I got Harper a superwoman outfit a month of so ago and figured that would work but she kept changing her mind- so cat it was! Adley was the most precious pirate you've ever seen! Harper was a pro and had the heaviest bag of all. Her and Ellie were so cute and have officially trick or treated together the past three years- A tradition is born!

Me and My Daddy

Just too sweet not to share!!

Update

Just wanted to send an update on my girls with some cute pictures! Harper is in the three's class now and is just as crazy as ever. She has her share of green and yellow days (in trouble once or twice) but who can blame her-she is there for 10 hours a day! She is getting so big and says just the funniest things. Troy and I just look at each other and laugh until we cry. Her imagination sure has kicked in too. We are always pretending. I am the daddy,she is the mommy,Adley is the baby and Troy is granny (????). She wears her heels to drop baby off at school to teacher and gets so upset when she doesn't have blue day. She is a little mommy already! She is still attached to mommy but daddy is working on trying to steel her away from me- which I am not pleased with! She is totally into puzzles, drawing, princesses, and pretending- all the things a little girl is supposed to be into!! And she loves her baby sisty!! My baby is growing too fast!

Adley is a weed as well- a little tiny weed- but a weed nonetheless. She has been sick with an ear infection for a month so this has really but my hopes for her having a growth spurt on hold. My little pixie! Her hair has settled down but is so long and still all over the place. She is crawling everywhere and will pull up on just about anything. She'll be walking soon I know. She can wave and say bye bye and says mama mama constantly- yay! Harper and I taught her to say no no no too. She shakes her head wildly if you tell her to say it. It is hilarious- except for one minor negative, when you try to feed her she just shakes her head no no no instead of eating. OOPS! She moved up to the crawler room at school but has only been in there about two days since she has been sick for forever. Oh and she loves her big sissy!!! These girls are the twinkle in our eyes and we are so lucky to have such awesome little girls! I just love sharing pictures and updates about them. It makes me smile! Enjoy!
