Sweet sisters

I've been a poor blogger lately. My excuse is no internet at home and hormones have taken over my life. Here are some recent pictures of our favorite Miss Priss. She's very interested in tableware and sweets.
She LOVES to sneak up and "hug" on her cousin Miles.

She loves boots, any pair or size will do.

Tickling. She comes at you with both hands under her chin and all fingers wiggling.

She always paints her body in addition to the paper. Toes are her favorite.

She likes to skip out on her Saturday after lunch nap and crash wherever she falls in the late evening.

She likes to get "inside" my clothes or the covers.

She imitates everything we do in the restroom, especially putting in contacts.

She likes to put herself to sleep reading.

She enjoys singing and dancing in front of the mirror.

BIG news

Somebody will be a BIG sister around the end of August.

Disneyworld...where dreams come true

The second weekend of January, we packed up and headed out to Disneyworld.
I ran in the DisneyWorld Half-Marathon on January 9. It was amazing. God is more amazing.

These are a two different videos from the event.



We arrived at Disney around 4:15a.m. and by 4:30 it was snowing... SNOWING in Orlando, FL. The snow didn't last long but it sleeted and rained the rest of the morning. It was below 30 degrees....very unusual for Disney. Leaving the hotel early early early in the morning

Rebekah and I bundled up before the race

I finished in 3 hours 2 minutes and 3 seconds. I was the 12,752 person out of 17,127 people to finish the half-marathon. The 6,549 woman out of 9,688. There were 1,256 women in my division alone. I was the 907th finisher for my division. I'm very glad I wasn't last!

I'm planning on doing the DisneyWorld Princess Half-Marathon in 2011 with a dear friend (and anyone else who is up for it).

We spent two days at the Disney Parks. We visited the Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Epcot. We all enjoyed it.

She told me today "I draw?"

I gave her the crayons.

She pushed them away and said "BRUSHES"The finished product Cleaning up your mess

Halloween

We had a little lamb
a wooly wiggly little lamb

She followed us to the Giles' house

And then followed Ty for the rest of the night A okay picture of our little lion and lamb

(not so great of me)

We went trick or treating for the very first time.

Ty was a great leader.Knocking on the doorThe lights come onThe door opensAnd we get candy! And more candy!

We only went to four houses.

We still have enough loot left over from ZooBoo.

We went back to the Giles' for their 7th Annual Halloween Party.
