Thing 1 and Thing 2

Nothing else to say here.... we are the Things, hear us roar!!!!













Because they are making me

I would not be writing this post had I not been served a severe threat.  As you know, mommy has a jeep.  She loves it.  As such, she has asked me to put a couple pictures of it on the blog devoted to ABBY and ME!!!!  Because I can not reach the top of the oven and consider eating important, I will oblige mommy and put a couple pictures of her beloved on the blog.  Please forgive the interruption from important posts for this self serving ridiculousness.

This is the passenger side of the jeep, whoopidydoo!!!!

Okay, I admit that I am big fan of these new seat covers

This is where Abby and I sit

Mommy's Christmas present from daddy

Happy New Year

Hello everyone!!!

The New Year is here and what better time to dust off the keyboard and update the blog.  We are just getting off of a fantastic high of having daddy home for almost two weeks!!!  It was AWESOME!!!  Christmas was very good to Grace and I.  Suffice to say that Santa hooked us up with the things we asked for (within reason) and mom and dad hooked us up with things we didn't ask for, but our family and friends were clutch in putting Christmas over the top.  We have enough clothes, dolls and gift cards to keep us busy for - well, until next Christmas.  We loved EVERYTHING!!!  More than the presents though was the extra time we got to spend with mommy and daddy.  Mommy took a week off of work and I think it was just what the doctor ordered.  She did not have work or school to bother her and was able to take care of herself (mind you, she did get a little sick!!!).  We went to a football game and watched the Bucs beat up on the Seahawks.  We went to Jacksonville and spent time with our friends and grandparents.  We got to skate on our new skates.  We helped mommy make a yummy dinner.  We watched Tangled.  Needless to say, we were very busy and had a blast.  Unfortunately, daddy had to go back to school and we are back at the grind.  Grace opined as much when she talked to mommy about how boring the routine is.  She can be so dramatical sometimes!!!

We are back at school now and we actually love it (save Grace's frustration with having to wear a uniform).  The weather has warmed up quite a bit and we are able to play outside a bit more.  Below are some pictures of when mommy took us to the park.

Okay, I know you are not interested in much more than any pictures we post, so I will no belabor the process.  My family and I hope you all had a great holiday and that Santa brought you everything you wanted and more.  May your 2011 be blessed.

The Meatball.

Merry Christmas

I would wear these boots to bed if mommy would let me

This is Grace offering yet another pose that scares mommy and daddy a bunch

I am pretty much adorable, admit it

Just missing a cup holder

We can make the distant view of a factory look beautiful

Jazz hands

Get ready

Get set




GO!!!!
Forgive the low quality, it is from a video mommy sent to daddy on the phone.  Also forgive the singing, we tell her she is good, but that is to not make her sad.





This is me doing my thing.  Again, mommy's singing.....

Random Pictures

Here are some pictures from the last month or so.

As you can imagine, life has been really busy for me and Abby.  Between school, church, AWANA, mom's work, homework, dad being out of town, playtime, sleeping, the occasional shower, eating, watching movies, going to the gym, Christmas shopping, eating some more, hanging out with the babysitter.....well, we just got a pretty full life.  Despite the chaos, we are both doing GREAT!!!!  Mom said that we have been SOOOOOO good lately that she is going to take us to the movies on Friday night.  Can you say Tangled???

We are pretty excited about Christmas.  Not only are we on the fast track to getting some cool presents from you know who, but we are also going to see our friends Heath, Olivia and Kennedy.  As well, rumor has it that we are going to see our Grandma and Grandpa.  Mix that up with an awesome meal made by the most awesome chef (mommy) and you could not ask for anything more.  Suffice to say that the Manchi and Meatball are way pumped up over the next couple weeks.

Oh yeah, me, Abby and Daddy put up the Christmas tree this year.  I must say that Abby and I are much better at decorating than the adults are.  I think we have a more understanding eye.

Okay, 'nuff typing for me.  Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas this year.  Abby says hi.

The morning after my new haircut

I enjoy that I don't have to wear an uniform.... yet!!!

Yup, that is us picking out our own clothes.

Best friends

Just after mommy and daddy installed really nice side steps... we get this stool.

Never has someone looked so fashionable getting into a jeep

I love going to the park

Sisters... forever

Sitting normal was not an option

Isn't it beautiful?

Chillin'

My new haircut

Not sure what we are so happy about.. maybe we are at a cool restaurant

In case you were wondering, I give the Doritos - a full, orange, thumbs up!!

A bit concerned about the whole gang sign issue here...

Just before my haircut...

The water was freezing!!!

Mom, does this jeep make my hair look shorter?

Mom, so... why is the top on the jeep? You know I like it off!!!

My new haircut, I love it!!!

Getting ready for bed

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing (the dentist said she thinks she found one in my mouth!!)

I am told that I do a really good job brushing and flossing.  No princess teeth for me.

Oh yeah, going to the gym.  Gunna get my exercise on... oh yeah

Those boys don't know what is about to hit them when I start my shred in the gym.

Date night with mommy (she is pigging out on sushi)

A romantic evening at home

Wish you were here dad

Sometimes I find the firmness of the top of the stairs more comfortable than my bed.

After a bit of rough housing with Grace (she lost)

Abby wore me out (and her head hitting my mouth was not so pleasant either)

A quick snack for the power shoppers

Pretty much the best meal EVER!!!

My favorite dress
