shame, shame Emma. . .

I have now decided that Emma is a bad influence on Ellie.  I’ve known this all along, but that sweet smile and those eyes will get you every time.  The crib piano has since been moved to the top rail of the crib.  Those kids are so stinkin’ smart.

Emma:  “Look how I can hold myself [...]

Emma vs. the dentist. . .

Last Monday Emma had her first dentist visit and man was she excited.  I think Finding Nemo sort of gave dentist everywhere a bad name, but that didn’t affect my daughter’s perception of the man that has given her Mama not one, not two, but three root canals.
Emma did so great.  We started out the [...]

big girl Emma. . .

In case you haven’t heard, hell has frozen over and in two weeks Emma and Ellie will be the proud owners of a Shitzu puppy (to which Emma pronounces it SHIT – zoo.  And the “SHIT” is said very loudly and clearly.).  Dustin and the girls apparently caught me at a weak moment because I [...]

my bow model. . .

Here’s some 4th of July bows I made and had Emma model them so I could get a picture.  I love that Emma’s “favorite” poses include some great smiling pictures and the ever so popular check out my muscles. . .

livin’ in a bubble. . .

We are a bubble family.  If you call us at night time, chances are we’re outside blowin’ bubbles.  The Tinkerbell bubble machine was the best $4.99 I ever spent at The Disney Store at their end of the summer sale.  Bubble pictures are always the best pictures too!

something smells fishy. . .

After the birthday party, we went out to Mom and Dad’s for dinner with my aunt and uncle that had come into town.  Emma went fishing with Daddy and used non other than her Princess fishing rod.  I know the little fish was caught her fishing rod, but I’m not sure what rod the mammoth fish [...]

skate away. . .

Helmets. . .so we can be safe!

I’m ready to skate, quit taking pictures!!  Cheese!

Chelsea to the rescue.

Hey, what are they doing???  That looks pretty fun. . .

I put the skates on a level 1 which meant she was pretty much wearing shoes and could only walk.  No children were harmed in the making of this picture [...]

Ellie’s Baby Dedication. . .

Back on Mother’s Day, our church did a baby dedication and we took part in it.  ”Dedicating a child acknowledges God’s sovereignty not only over the child, but also Mom and Dad.  Parents present their child before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities.  Parents also come praying that their [...]

belated Mother’s Day pictures. . .

Here are some pictures of the girls visiting Grandma and Grandpa in their new home.  Grandma always has a couple of stuffed animals for the girls to play with along with some trucks when Jess’ boys come to visit.  And it never fails that the girls have more fun in the rocking chair that Grandma [...]

Ellie’s 1st haircut. . .

Big day in the Tow household as little Ellie goes in for her first haircut.  Emma pretty much walked into Shaynah’s Scissorhands Salon, hopped up into the chair and was ready for her day o’ beauty. . .and at the age of almost 18 months.  Ellie was doing great until I stuck her in the chair [...]
