C & C World

We have been working really hard to get Chandler to like Shelby. I mean, she likes her, but she HATES it when she sniffs or licks her. When we get home in the evenings, Chandler will insist on bringing Shelby in the house, but as soon as she gets inside, Chandler starts crying & wants us to pick her up. I guess it is because they are the same height & can look each other in the eye. Anyway, Chandler was mad when she got up this morning that Shelby was already outside-Chandler slept in until after 10 am (GOOD GIRL!!) She insisted that her Daddy go get Shelby. Being the good Daddy, he did & Shelby stayed in for only a few minutes because Chandler got upset. After we got everyone settled down, Chandler decided that she wanted to see what Shelby's kennel was like. I quickly snapped a picture-Billy said that I was going to get reported to CPS!!!

You can tell that Chandler is almost 2! She is moody & can throw a fit, but the next minute, she is running around laughing & clapping her hands. She has developed a GREAT sense of humor & it is fun to see her giggling. She has been saying many more words so I think we are okay on the speech front. Right now, she is supposed to be taking a nap, but she is yelling "Mama" across the house in her loudest voice. While I love hearing her talk, I wish she would just go to sleep right now!!!

Chandler & Lady Mat Basketball

The Lady Mats were playing Westlake tonight. Chandler already knows when we pull into the gym parking lot that she is going to a "bball" game. She was intently watching the game-clapping & cheering until...

...she spotted Nyla. Nyla's Daddy is Coach Lewis-the head girl's basketball coach. Nyla also goes to school with Chandler. She is soooo very cute!! Nyla will be 3 in a few months & she is having a new baby sister this summer. She was getting lots of practice tonight with a little one who copied everything she did!!

They both hammed it up for the camera. Nyla wanted me to take lots of pictures of them!!

Then, they started laughing...

and laughing!!

They were laughing so hard that people were turning around to see what was going on!! It is fun to see Chandler developing friendships & recognizing her friend's faces. Nyla told me "That is my Chandler and I love playing with her!"

We know how you feel about Heeleys, Uncle Jeff...but

Cheney got Heeleys for Christmas & he is trying to learn how to "skate." For a while, he wouldn't let go of anything but he is getting braver & braver. The "hang out room" makes a great practice surface. Don't worry Uncle Jeff-he isn't wearing them to school or the store with the wheels in!!

My Little Diva

MeMe & Pop gave Chandler her own robe for Christmas. It says her name & when she is done with her bath, she can't wait to put it on. Tonight, she thought she was hot stuff drinking milk out of her big girl glass (no lid!) & bossing her big brother around! Billy & I had a glimpse of what our life might be like in 10 years-PRAY FOR US STARTING NOW!!!!! She paused long enough to show off for her Daddy to take these pictures.

Dancing in the streets...I mean, kitchen!!

We didn't have any big plans today, so everyone just slept in (of course, Daddy had to go to work-we miss him!!). After the kids got up, I turned on Cheney's FAVORITE new Christian group. They are called GO FISH and his favorite songs are "Superhero" & "Get Your Jammies On." We listened to them over & over and the kids danced! It was pretty funny. Staying home from school is sooooo much fun!!

Chandler spun around soooo fast, she fell down

Cheney is cooooool!

Cheney is breakin it down!

Whoa!

Chandler always stops for food!

Happy New Year!

While Mommy & Daddy were playing around in Fredericksburg with Dean & Darla, Cheney & Chandler spent 3 days with MeMe & Pop.

This is the creek by Dean's Mom's house near Comfort.

Dean & Darla all dressed up for New Year's Eve

Mommy & Daddy

While we were gone, Cheney & Chandler got to do many things that they love. Of course, MeMe & Pop spoiled them rotten!!!! Thanks to MeMe for taking pictures while we were gone. We love you!!

Playing around in the mall-I thought this picture was funny because who is being the baby??

New Year's Eve morning-feeding the alpacas. The kids & alpacas have gotten really comfortable around each other. They come running when they have the feed bucket.

They helped Pop set up his new flagpole

Climbed in the tree

New Year's Eve-they went to eat at the restaurant at the Bass Pro Shop.

After they ate, they went to see "National Treasure." Chandler slept through the whole movie & Cheney didn't. On the way home, Cheney fell asleep. Chandler was trying to wake him up so they could shoot fireworks. It doesn't look like she is being very successful!!
Chandler bundled up to shoot fireworks. Apparently, she wasn't very excited about the fireworks. They scared her.
