3 year olds are so fun!

Cheyenne did Naomi's hair and she wanted this huge bow in her hair. Cheyenne put it right on top of her head. Can't help but love her. (Squeeky Jr.)

Abigail climbing on my file box in front of my new book shelf. Just climbing to acomplish something.

This week has been trying but so funny. As many of you mothers know, you have days when you get nothing done. Abigail is teething and learning to walk. One minute she is getting into everything, the next she is crying and won't let me put her down. Naomi on the other hand is picking on Abigial one minute, trying to climb up my back while I am teaching the next. I LOVE living with a 3 year old. She knows just how to get her way with sissy too. The last few nights after we send the girls to bed, Naomi always wants to sleep with Cheyenne. (My fault, I know Mom.) Anyway the other night she was on Cheyenne's top bunk crying and Chey was on Naomi's bed. I went in to see what was going on when I heard Naomi crying "Cheyenne doesn't love me anymore! She won't let me sleep with her." She kept crying "Chey doesn't love me anymore." After assuring her that Chey did love her and putting her in her own bed, I knew it wouldn't last long. Needless to say you know where she ended up. Chey is a sucker for her sissy. It worked again last night! Tonight, there was no crying. I went in to pray with the girls and they were both on the top bunk. Surprise! Surprise!

Oh, on the way to church, Naomi informed us that she had some giants. The conversation was a little like this. I wish I could remember all of it. I was laughing to hard.


Daddy - "Oh, really! Where did you find a giant?"


Naomi - " In our wood. You can find them when they are not playing hide and seek in the trees. They play all the time. You don't know if they live in a good house or a bad house or a bad habbit."


Daddy - "A bad habbit? What bad habbits does a giant have?"


Naomi - " Oh, eating wood, or houses, or biting their nails."


Daddy - " I think biting their nails is the best of the bad habbits."


This went on all the way to the church. After church she told Ken she had two giants. One of them was light pink and the other one was green and black. Ken asked her how tall they were and she stood up on her tip toes and put her hand on her head. "The pink one is this tall but it can grow big whenever it wants to."


I am telling you she has QUITE an imagination! She has an imaginary friend that her Sunday School teacher, who is also our Assistant Pastor's Wife, has to pray for or Naomi will remind her when she is done praying that she did not pray for Callie. What do you do?! She believes in prayer.


I do thank the Lord for her every day. When you are really having a bad day, she does something crazy and you can't help but laugh. Thank the Lord for children.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving. We spent time with my family. That night Ken and our friend Joel got in the Christmas mode and camped out at Citcuit City. He went to get Cheyenne a laptop with the birthday money she saved. He got a free Wireless internet connection that we didn't think would work where we live. It Did!! So now I can have this blog and keep all our family out of state and on the mission field up to date with us. I hope to be able to keep in touch with friends and family better now. Here are some pictures of the last few weeks of the girls. Abigail is walking now!

Cheyenne at her 11th birthday party. She had a sleepover. Her friends Hannah, Ally, Nicole, Haili Marah, and Kendra.

Abigail knows that Nanny has M&M's because when we go there the other grandkids keep getting them. Nanny moved them up on a shelf so the kids would stay out them early. Abigail found them and climbed up to get some. She succeeded while noone was looking.
