we got a new car!!!!


well, it is actually a new van! that's right folks... we bought a mini van. and let me tell you how much chris LOVES driving it to work! just kidding, he doesn't like it at all really. but he is happy to have the more room and a car that isn't about to fall apart! and pretty soon we should be getting him a car of his own... that isn't so "mom-like"!!!
i really do love it. it is sooo nice to not have to squeeze the girls into a small car anymore... and we can all go to the grocery store and have room for the groceries! it is amazing what i get excited about now!
anyways, the girls are doing great. Ireland just got a new haircut. i decided that her hair was just too long in the back and the sides were too short. it kind of looked like a mullet... so i cut the back pretty short to even up with the sides. and i cut her some bangs too. and if i do say so myself, it looks pretty dang cute! i think it made her look a lot older because it looks like a "real" haircut. i was surprised her daddy said it was ok to cut it, because he loved her hair getting long... but he likes it too. it looks like a cute little bob! i love it!




chloe is starting to talk a lot. she just jabbers none stop now. i think she is really trying to talk to ireland sometimes. and chloe is starting to be a little bit more aggressive with ireland. if a toy gets taken away from chloe, lets just say she can get it back... ireland isn't a big fan of the new chloe, but she'll get use to it i guess!

Chloe has a little hippo toy that she can walk behind and she is doing pretty good at that... i think she will be walking sooner than i want her to be! i would love for her to stay the little baby she is right now! well, i guess she isn't too little... we just found out she is 20 lbs!!! chris got a scale (yippie) and she is really growing! Ireland is getting bigger too. she is 27.5 lbs! it is hard to believe she started out at 5 lbs.

well, that is about it! oh, i am entering the girls into "Regis and Kelly's Beautiful Baby Contest" so keep your eye out for thier pictures... if you watch that show... they might be on tv!!!!

Okay, so Ireland's hair looks sooo cute! She does look older, I can't wait to see it in person. I love her outfit as well, wonder who got that for her! Chloe looks pretty darn cute all bundled up and ready for the snow, I am sure she jsut loves that.

I love the bob! Adorable! I may consider something like that on Avril; she's got the mullet too. And congrats on the van! We almost got one this year until I fell in love with my little Aveo. I'm glad Chloe is starting to defend herself. Sounds like your house will be more and more interesting the older she gets!

I like the new ride. Cain't wait to see it. I love Irelands hair. She looks so grown up. And Chloe is a little doll. I am proud of both of you guys.

Be careful once you have a mini you'll not want to go back! I really love her hair, she is really lucky to have such a great hairdresser. I used to but mine moved away. Really miss you guys!
