Library and lunch...

Well, those of you who really know Ireland know that she LOVES books and reading. There is a brand new library just down the street form us and she is in heaven! We have already been there 2 times since we got to Colorado. They have a great kids area with all sorts of stuff to do. So here are a few pictures from our trip there the other day... enjoy!
Ireland has a new obsession... puzzles!!! Seriously she loves them! She did this puzzle mostly by herself with some help from Ellis and the ocasional adult. But she is really getting the process of getting them together. Pretty impressive if I do say so myself! :)

Chloe enjoys the library... but not in the same way Ireland does. Chloe is slowly starting to like books... but the things she likes at the library are the couches to climb on, beanbags to throw herself on, and this little tri-angle window that she can look through... She is so funny! After about an hour this is how Chloe ended up... on the floor. This was our cue to leave! :)

Each of the girls got a book bag for their library books. I let them each pick out their own... I think this picture of Chloe is just too cute! She looks so big with her book bag on... and I think it is awesome that she picked out a bright pink surfer bag (Ireland's is a blue bag with an icecream cone on it)! Too funny!
I don't know... I just thought this picture was cute... Ireland is really into asking me to take picture of her for her Daddy... this one she told me she wanted him to see her pretty smile... so, here you go Chris, a pretty smile just for you!

And here she was being a ballarina... obviously this was first thing in the morning... I don't let the girls hangout all day with crazy hair and jammies on... I swear!!!

Chloe was giving her baby a bath in the sink. She was making the water noise and everything. She is really into playing with babies and being a "mommy" now. What a big girl!

Washing the baby's hair!

Ok... Chloe ADORES lemons!! She always wants to eat them whenever we go out to eat... but she is kinda weird about it... She won't eat my lemons... only Chris'. I swear! She will ask for mine and I give it to her, she'll just put it down or back in my glass and ask for Daddy's. So I told her this was Daddy's lemon and she ate it all up... she is so weird!

She really does love them. I like this picture because you can tell she has eaten all the flesh... only the peel is left! hahaha! :)

And then there is Ireland... her and Nana were looking at 2 things that look alike and finding all the differences. I love this picture because it captures Ireland's ture personality... very studious (yes, even at age 3) and only always intrested in whateven is in fornt of her!

Well, I hope you enjoyed our pictures! We love Daddy and miss him lots!

We miss our Daddy!

Yea!!! We finally got a new camera and a way to get our fabulous pictures on the computer!!! So now you all get to see beautiful pictures of our beautiful daughters!!!! Now that Chris is deployed you all will see a lot of blogs! I am going to try and get some pictures posted every other day or so... that way Chris can see his little girls all he wants! :)


I thought this picture was just too cute of Chloe! I took it last night before bed and she was being such a ham!
Ireland is so funny with pictures now... she totally poses! She asked me to take a picture of her giving a kissing face for her Daddy... she really does miss him a lot!!


One of Chloe's favorite things to do is put her woobie on her head... she thinks she is so funny! I think she is just a nut! :)



Ireland was being so funny last night before bed... dancing around and doing some "PT" because she had on her "daddy jammies".



Here they are both doing their "PT"... Chloe said she was doing push-ups like daddy and Ireland was doing flutter kicks... Daddy would be so proud!


This is a duck that Chloe got to "make" for her birthday... she named him Blue (don't ask cause I don't have any clue why)... but she just loves him! She loves on him every night when she goes to bed and gives it lots of kisses... I sprayed it with Chris' "smell" and she will smell as soon as I put her to bed and she says, "I love you Daddy!!" She really misses her Daddy... this time away won't go fast enough for her... or any of us!!!

Ireland got a "big girl" bed when we moved to Nana's house and she LOVES it!!! She wanted to show it off for everyone! So here it is! I think you can tell how proud she is in this picture! her face just lights up!

Well, I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Sorry they are all from the same night... but we just got the new camera! I promise I will get more of a variety up soon!

And please don't forget to keep Chris and all the other soldiers in your prayers! Please pray that the next 15 months will go by in a flash!!! Love you all!!
