Saturday morning and gymnastics

Today is a lazy Saturday with the girls. Jason is gone for his games(they won last night!!!)

We are just bumming around waiting for my sister and fam from Grand Junction to get here on their way to ND for Thanksgiving. Have a great weekend.

Gretchen had to have her picture taken after I took Enna's!

Squash anyone?

Jumping on the trampoline at Just Jymnastics

Preeeeeeesent! How they are suppose to stand after they do a move. She had to do this before receiving her blue ribbon!

Our animals

These little creatures will be as close as we get to having animals of our own!

These deer are feasting on our neighbor's lawn

Turkeys nibbling on our lawn

Yes, they get this close to our house!!! That is my patio to the left. This is taken right outside our dining room window.

Saturday Pics

It's been a week since we've posted anything. Thought I'd put up a few pics of the girls... Enjoy!

This was the best I could get of the girls together, both looking at the same time!!

Gretchen loves her daddy!!



Enna helped me do laundry today.....gotta start training early!!!!

Shovel anyone?

Out our front door, had to shoot through the screen because I couldn't open the door! Sorry for the bad pics.
Behind our house

Well, winter is officially here. We are stuck home in a blizzard, no travel advised, four feet snowdrifts everywhere around our house. No work today :(!!!

Enna Stats

Enna also had a Dr. appt today. She will be six months old tomorrow. We can't believe it! Time has gone so fast. I think she was 15.2 pounds and 23 inches? but not sure. I will change them when I get the exact numbers. Dr. said she is growing perfectly!! Good to hear! She is a much more content little girl now that she is older. Her first few months she was a little fussy. She still isn't the best sleeper.....only likes cat naps during the day and wakes once at night Dr. said it is time to let her cry it out at night so we'll see how that goes!!! We will be starting veggies this weekend!! Here are a few things Miss Enna enjoys at 6 months!!

• She rolls over all the time


• She "talks" nonstop when she is awake


• She likes rice cereal


• She puts anything/everything in her mouth


• She likes to sit-up.... can almost do it by herself!!


• She has the biggest smile that can put you in a better mood instantly!!


• She likes to belly laugh when you tickle under her chin


• Her big blues eyes are constantly checking things out


• She unties her shoe laces when she is sitting on my lap with shoes on


• She grabs at whatever you have


• She LOVES her big sister!!

Gretchen Stats

My favorite thing....if you are lucky, I will even grab your ear while sucking my thumb when you are holding me!!

This is my rockstar dance......hands above the head while shaking it saying "Rockstar Rockstar!!"

As you all know from previous posts, Gretchen is the big two years old now. We had a doctors appt. today for her checkup. She weighs 25 lbs and is 33 inches tall? (Might have to change those the nurse usually writes them down for me and we forgot to today!!) We have to take her back on Friday for an ultrasound on her hip. It has been popping lately so the Dr. wants to make sure everything is okay. We sure hope it is!!

Here are a few things Miss Gretchen likes/does these days:

• She LOVES Dora the Explorer and anything on Noggin!!



• She likes to dance for her sister when she is crying



• She likes snacks(variety of things fall under this)



• She is really good at giving "5" and "knucks"



• She enjoys going to gymnastics



• She likes to play with other kids



• She likes to cheer for the rockers!!



• She is starting to go potty on the big girl potty!!



• She gets really excited when she sees the moon.



• She also likes flags(daddy taught her how to stand for the national anthem)



• She thinks it is cool when we let her put chapstick on



• She gives really good hugs and kisses



• She loves to dress in a silly combination of clothing, hair accessories.



• MOST of all she loves to suck her thumb and pull her ear!!! That should be a fun habit to try and break!!!
