Blog Going Private

I started this blog as a way to keep our friends and family updated on wedding stuff, but now it has turned into a sort of repository for pictures of the girls, so I have decided to take the blog private. I'm also moving it to Wordpress because they give you the option to sign up to receive posts via email. I  was able to do this in Blogger, but it limited me to 10 email addresses. If you would like access to the new blog, please send me an email at udchickie@gmail.com and let me know the email address that you would like for me to use to send the invite to. I think it's a pretty easy process, but once I send you the invite, if anyone has trouble with it, let me know and I can help.

Best buds! Natalie at 21 months, Andrew at 8 months. He's as big, if not bigger than her. #cousins

Snow art on the driveway this morning courtesy of Caitlin and Natalie. Caitlin's handprint on the left and her signature smiley that she drew anytime there was snow on the driveway this year. On the right, Natalie's fingers from grabbing the snow and throwing it. #bringonspring

How I found Natalie when I got her up this morning. Guess she was ready to take her jammies off.

Another night of chicken and stars soup. Another big mess for Natalie.

IMG_9013
Caitlin actually picked chicken and stars soup for dinner tonight.  Amazing.

IMG_9017
I can't get over how old she's looking these days!

Sweet sisters!

Horrible lighting.  Cute kid.

IMG_2718
She was mad that I took Caitlin's camera away from her.

March 15

IMG_2698
Still upset about having that belt on. She wasn't thrilled about it the next day (for picture day) either.

IMG_2708
First Speedo bathing suit.  I love it!

March 14

Playing sweetly together.  Natalie was playing baby while Caitlin covered her up and brought her pretend food.

IMG_8917
No idea what is going on here, but they sure were having fun.

Crazy girls roughhousing at Aunt Becky and Uncle Jordan's house tonight.

Beautiful girl at breakfast this morning.

IMG_8819
Cereal bars are her favorite.

IMG_8837
I was doing something in the kitchen and turned around to find this. Such a character.

IMG_8844
And then this happened.

IMG_2653
Caitlin had swim lessons tonight, and it was somewhat warm so Natalie and I took a walk down to the playground.

IMG_8866
She loves going down the slide.

IMG_8872
This might be one of my new favorite pictures of her.

IMG_8893
She thought she was going to go down the slide on her belly.

IMG_8895
Still trying to convince me.  For the record, I didn't let her.

"Pick me up, mama"

IMG_8779
My girl.  Love when she'll give me sweet smile.

Feeding Caitlin some of her cheddar bunnies.

Using the leather chair as a slide, more proof that we are in desperate need of some warm weather so we can get out of this house!

IMG_8758
Trying on her boots.  This kid loves shoes.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

Out for a short walk tonight, and it was just what we needed.

IMG_2616
Natalie had to do whatever Caitlin was doing, which included walking in the snow and touching the snow.

IMG_2614
Little stinker.

Going through pictures on Caitlin's Vtech kid's camera. Guess she was working on her selfies.

She wouldn't put her jammies on when we asked her to so she got sent to bed in her clothes tonight.

Silly girl trying on Caitlin's Jessie boots.

IMG_2580
My view when I woke up this morning. Caitlin came into our room completely dressed and hair all "styled" with no less than 7 barrettes/clips in her hair. You can't really tell from the picture, but most of them are in the back of her hair. She was a little disappointed to find out that it wasn't a school day and that she got dressed for no reason.

IMG_2572
My sweet girl at naptime today with all of her "friends" watching over her from her headboard.

IMG_2576
Ryan came home early from work with a fever (the beginnings of the flu that totally kicked his butt) today. With all the sickness in our house, I made a batch of homemade chicken noodle soup today, and it was a total hit! Natalie loved it, and my favorite part of this picture are the stars that are stuck to her chin.  Even Caitlin (the well-documented picky one) loved it.  I have even sent it to school for lunch twice, and in Caitlin's words, she "devoured" it!
