Cowgirl Up!




"These boots are made for walking, and that's just what they'll do one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you"
When Lara got off the plane at Christmas time I had been forewarned that she had a few extra carry-ons. She didn't get off the plane with a suite case and carry on but a suitcase, three boxes and two carry-on's. Southwest attendants did a little scolding but it wasn't going to stop her from bring her goodies to the girls. Almost all but a 1/4 of the stuff consisted of clothes ranging from 2T up to 4T for the girls. In all that stuff were two pairs of cowgirl boots. Dad Carlson would be proud- one pair reminds me of the boots he use to wear just in kid form. Thanks Auntie Larce for all their goodies.

Our very own Geisha

TRISTA- a little 2 year old who's curiosity got the best of her.OR
Geisha (芸者?), Geiko (芸子) or Geigi (芸妓) are traditional, female Japanese entertainers whose skills include performing various Japanese arts such as classical music and dance.




You know when its too quiet for too long there is trouble. I was standing at the Armoire at the bottom of the stairs organizing the girls clothes and shoes and once again putting clothes in Rubbermaid's for upcoming consignments when all of the sudden our very own GEISHA appeared. Trista had located my MK foundation in my make- up drawer. Let me explain......a week ago they could not turn round door knobs or twist off caps UNTIL NOW! Crazy how fast they change. I was actually very impressed with how evenly she put it on. She even managed to cover the crevices in her eyes and only had a little bit dripping from her chin by the time she got to me. She was very calm as she approached me but you could tell the thickness around her eyes was probably starting to bother her. Have you ever tried to get off that much foundation. It was a full tube since I don't wear that shade. I think we could have made a commercial advertising the effectiveness of Mary Kay's wonderful make-up remover. That stuff is wonderful....now I will need to get a new bottle since it was all used up removing Trista's geisha face!

Frosty the Snowwomen TURN TWO






Cant believe you are two! Where has time gone?! You sported your snowman hat well.....for the few seconds they were on. You know it's bad when you plan your kids birthday party theme around a bag full of $2.00 holiday plates and accessories that I purchased from a garage sale in JULY!(they were all in their original plastic in case some of you were wondering if they were opened:)Lara sewed the buttons on their white onesie and I put together their hats. Thanks to good ole Duncan Hines boxed cake mix and Google for finding the easiest SNOWMAN cake recipe. I think I spent more time on covering the cardboard box for the cake to lay on! We had family and our good friends over for the girls second birthday celebration. Thanks to all who came to share this two year mile marker in their lives. Sadie and Trista you are both loved so unconditionally.
Trista- I LOVE.....
how you give us big smiles showing your precious dimples
how you are usually first awake talking in the morning
how independent you are
to watch you give kisses to your sister
how you say "daddy" when Chris comes thru the front door
how you say the word balloon-"ba-luddleluddle"
how you take Rocky his bowl and want him eat
how you'll bring me a book and crawl up in my lap
it when you give me kisses
your little double chin when you sleep in your car seat
ALL 25 lbs of you. Love, mom and dad
SADIE- I LOVE......
how you are so quick to give mommy and daddy kisses
the smile you get on your face when you see me or daddy first thing in the morning
your sneaky smile when you know you shouldn't be doing something
how you pat your sisters back if she's crying
how you rubbed my back the to other day when I asked
how you are such a thinker and observer
how you would help me when Trista was potty training:)
ALL 25.5 lbs of you! Love, mom and dad
