This is my blog where I will be trying to keep up with my goal of taking a picture a day and writing something small about it. I really want to do this so that I can capture the small everyday things in our life. It's these cute things about my kids and our daily life that I really want to remember.

Cleaning
Sometimes I have to just vacuum right around them and their toys in order to get some cleaning done. And other times I have to hold Saige while I vacuum which is definitely an arm workout!

Play & Nap
Nap time for one, Play time for the other. Colby going down for his nap today with all his stuff that he likes in bed with him (Woody, Jessie, both of their hats, night light, pillow pet, binky). Saige just woke up from a nap and was ready to play. Lately their nap schedules have been off. For a while they both were taking naps right at the same time. Now Saige is waking from her late morning nap when Colby is going down for his. Then Saige stays up and plays for a couple hours before taking her afternoon nap. I really like it this way because I get one on one time with each of them. It's nice to be able to focus on one child and what they want you to play with them.

Smoothies for Breakfast
I made some more "green" smoothies today. Except they are more purple than green. We all enjoyed it, even Saige. She actually really loved it and would get mad when I would take it from her so I could have some too. Colby has a nice little smoothie goatee going on! Today's smoothies had frozen mango, pineapple, strawberry, peach, blueberries, raspberries (that I picked in the summer!), a couple small oranges, a handful of spinach, and a little bit of water and juice.

Together
My babies hanging out together. I'm always attempting to get a good picture of these two together and it is almost impossible. Colby has gotten better about being ok with me putting her next to him, but he either moves away, puts his hands in his mouth, or wont look at me. Saige is usually good, but now that she crawls she doesn't like to stay in one place. At least I was able to get this one which is good for the most part, minus Colby's hands in his mouth.

Cookies
I've started making cookies once a week since I've stopped buying packaged cookies and sweets from the store. This recipe is so good. The cookies stay nice and soft. It's from my awesome friend and former roommate Jenny. Colby constantly asks for cookies now. I think the first time I made them he ate at least three.

Nice Kitties
When I saw these two snuggling close I had to get a picture for proof that they do actually like each other. (either that or the house was too cold) They rarely get this close to each other and if they do they are usually rough housing. Seeing them together reminded me of the first time I brought Butters home and Callie hated him, she hissed and ran after him when he tried to lay in her favorite spot.

In her mouth
Saige loves to crawl around with small toys in her mouth. I feel like I'm constantly taking things out of her mouth. There are always smaller toys around because of Colby. It sure is funny to see her crawling (usually army crawling) with some little toy sticking out of her mouth. In this picture it's a Nerf dart.

Akira
Colby sure does love Akira. I don't know what he would do without her. He plays with her all the time, gives her toys, plays chase, tries to ride her, gives her hugs and kisses, dragging her around by her collar, and loves feeding her and sharing food. He just recently started calling her by her name instead of calling her dog or woof. He says "Kia". He always says good night to her when he goes to bed. Seeing the two of them together makes me so happy. I'm glad my children are able to experience loving animals.

Grocery Shopping
Grocery shopping can be such a chore with two kids. Now that Saige is older I've been letting her sit in the seat (instead of wearing her in the baby carrier) but then I have to put Colby in the basket which doesn't work very well. He smashes produce, tries to eat things through the plastic bag (this trip it was carrots), opens boxes of crackers and cereal. No matter how frustrated I get I have to laugh at this picture. Colby is trying so hard to open the bag of goldfish crackers. Saige is just so ready to be done.

Gun
Colby has been obsessed with guns lately. I'm not sure where he picked it up, but he was loving his cousins Nerf guns at Christmas time. Since he was pretending that everything is a gun (like his toy saw) we went and got him some little Nerf guns this weekend. When we told him we were going to buy him a gun he walked around all day saying "buy gun, buy gun" over and over. All weekend he has been playing with them. He can't actually shoot the darts because he's not strong enough, but he doesn't really care.

Big Snow
For the past two days it has been snowing. Today it finally cleared and was sunny, but it was way too cold. Mark and Colby went out to play but only for about 10 min. I think it snowed at least a foot, maybe more. Friday evening I took Colby and Akira out to play while Saige was napping. They were having a blast. Even though it was still snowing, I knew it would be warmer than it was today. Also on Thursday I took both of them out for a little bit. It was Saige's first time in the snow, but she was not impressed. She sat there for a minute then just wanted me to pick her up.

Yum
Colby left some crackers on the ground today, so of course Saige found them and went town. This girl sure does love her food!
I couldn't resist adding another photo for today. Today at dinner I was feeding Saige but I guess not fast enough for her. Somehow she managed to lean forward and reach her bowl which was on the table past her tray. She got a hold of it and before I realized it she already had her face in it. So I just let her keep it. She tried drinking it but ended up scooping it with her fingers. She was very messy and had went straight to the bath!

"Hands up in the Air"
We were driving to the store and the song "Dynamite" by Taio Cruz came on the radio. When ever the part comes on where he says "Throw your hands up in the air" Colby puts his hands up. It was too cute not to get a pic of. Luckily we were at a stop sign and I was able to put my camera above my head and snap this pic. He's such a funny kid.

My Boy
Just a little one on one time with Colby while Saige was taking a nap. Although he was more interested in the cartoon I had put on to occupy him while I put her down for her nap. Love this little boy who made me a mom. (he didn't have clothes on because we had just taken baths and then I had to put Saige down before she got to fussy.)

Good Bye Christmas
Today I finally took down all the Christmas decorations and all the ornaments off the tree. I left it up longer that I should have, but I just wanted to enjoy it for as long as we could. Especially since we were gone for a week during Christmas. I loved that Colby would come down first thing in the morning, say "yights!" and turn on the Christmas tree lights. I loved how good our tree smelled. Now all that is left is red storage tubs full of Christmas, an empty tree stand, and a whole mess of pine needles! At least they smell really good when I vacuum them up!

Bath Time
Just my two cuties taking a bath today. Sometimes I like to give them baths in the morning when we don't have anywhere to go that day. It makes evening time so much more relaxing. And yes there are too many bath toys in there. They actually got some new ones for Christmas and I was planning on throwing out the old ones but I just haven't gotten around to it.

Stuck Like Glue
This girl is so attached to me, sometimes I really feel like she is stuck to me. Today we sat down to play together while Colby was napping and all she wants to do is crawl on me and over me. Crazy little girl. This is how she has been for about the past month, but she's been even worse since we got back from our Christmas trip. She used to sit and play with toys happily but now if I try to leave her on the ground she will just cry and army crawl after me. It gets frustrating for me, but I'm sure in a few months I'll miss my little girl crawling all over me.
