Fancy Nancy

We love the Fancy Nancy books! If you have a girl, you MUST check them out at the library. It's about a girl that is very fancy and even uses fancy words, her family is not as fancy as she is but that's OK. Lizzy will dress up frequently like Fancy Nancy, wearing a bunch of clothes and hair clips and with scarves around her neck. In Oregon my sister-in-law Kimberly taught me how to make bows for girls hair, which was fun to learn. I made a bunch of bows and Liz told me where to put them on a hat we bought in the dollar spot at Target, now it is truly a "fancy" hat.

Oregon trip

We were in Oregon last week visiting Phil's family. We had a good time and the cousins really enjoyed getting to know one another. Some of the highlights were playing the Wii and the girls beating Daed at boxing. Blowing bubbles on the front lawn with grandma. Riding the carousel at Riverfront park. We also had a few tears, which came about because the energy level was REALLY high and (at least for our girl) parental supervision was low. It was fun though and cold, I couldn't even tell when the sun came up because I still couldn't see it through the clouds.
Here are a few photo's.

Sam Crawling

Sam has started crawling!
He uses one knee and one foot.
He's still pretty slow and not getting very far, but here's a video...

Funny Cat

Many of you have met our cat Clyde. It is typical for people to laugh when meeting him for the first time, because of his size. Well our 7 month old must get the joke because every single time Sam looks at Clyde he starts laughing. Here's a video.

After I took the pictures of Lizzy and her baby at our pretend baby spa I left the room to answer the phone when I came back there were about 30 new pictures on the camera.

Here are a few things Lizzy thinks are photo worthy.

I came in the room to see her taking a photo of her eye!
