Almost everyday, Cassie and Alyssa love playing in their sandbox together. Alyssa loves watching Cassie and it is really cute to see her try and copy her digging, pouring and pretending. Mommy loves that it is just outside the backdoor, so I can do things in the kitchen and still keep an eye on them. Or when I go out to play too, it is on the covered patio and stays cool and dry for everybody! Great idea daddy for putting the sandbox in the perfect place!

Nomination

Mom- you make me sooo happy!













You deserve a kiss.













Mmm... in fact you deserve more than that.













Where's the computer?














I think I will nominate you for mother of the year!















Dear President Obama.....

Jumpy baby

Bathtime fun!

From the beginning, Alyssa has always loved taking baths with Cassie. Cassie helps pour water on her tummy (and not her face-I have to remind her everytime) and it makes her giggle. They laugh together, play with the bath toys, splash, and get crazy hairdos- well Lyssie might have to wait awhile longer!

Snow!

Yesterday we got some snow! OK, so it wasn't much as you can see from the pictures...but Cassie was so excited! We had to go outside as soon as she and Alyssa woke up. She said "lots of snow everywhere!" I guess she would think so. I don't think she remembers going to Idaho last year. This is her first experience with it here and Alyssa's first snow too. It was all melted about 2 hours after these pics. were taken. To bad there wasn't enough to really play in and make snow angels. Cassie has been seeing alot of cartoons and books about playing in the snow lately. Sometimes she will put on her hat and gloves and swish around on the carpet. Funny girl!

Sweet baby

At the beginning of the year, I realized that we had taken a ton of individual Cassie pictures when she was this age. These are a few of my favorites out of about 70 pics. taken. It's also fun to compare how similar and different Cassie and Alyssa are.
