The Baker Family: 09/13
http://bakernewsflash.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 19, 2013. The thing I love most about my family is how we make each other laugh all day long. Between Bryce's child-like, witty, sarcastic comments, my "dad" jokes and the typical day-to-day child/toddler antics, the laughter never stops (unless someone is throwing a temper tantrum, of course). :) I just love it. This was in the morning before school earlier this week. Abby loves to "read" books to her sister. Or in this case, "recite" the book from memory. :). I didn't even realize i...

O-H, the places we'll go: April 2015
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Sunday, April 19, 2015. First in, first out. Owen lost his first tooth today! I wasn't expecting this to happen until he was closer to 6, but the tooth had been wiggling for weeks already. Unfortunately, he swallowed it with a bite of bagel at breakfast, but the tooth fairy was understanding and appreciative of his hand-written note. :). All of the under-5 soccer teams doing a group warm-up.). Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Spring in Texas, Austin Return. Just outside their neighborho...

O-H, the places we'll go: Wood and Water
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2015/08/wood-and-water.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Saturday, August 1, 2015. The day after our adventurous hike, our church did a Habitat for Humanity house-framing build in their parking lot. We were broken out into about 10 teams and we knocked out (I think) 37 walls in a couple of hours. Owen even got to swing the hammer a few times. It was a hot morning, but they provided breakfast and lunch for us and lots of water! A few days after that, we picnicked at the park with friends after swim lessons. While eating our sandwic...

O-H, the places we'll go. Tuesday, September 23, 2014. The Family That Bikes Together. Since Owen kicked the training wheels earlier this summer, we've all had to find a way to keep up with him, which meant bikes all around! We take a family bike ride around the neighborhood probably 3 times a week or so. September is perfect for that! Hadley enjoys the bike trailer, although she'd prefer to be on her (Owen's old) Strider. She is starting to pick up her feet to glide, so maybe by next summer! The highlig...

O-H, the places we'll go: July 2014
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Monday, July 28, 2014. We've stayed close to home for July, and it's been pretty warm (for up north), so we've been trying to stay cool. Sometimes that means playing/drinking in the sprinkler,. Hiding indoors in the A/C,. Or traveling to the splash park. Owen loves it, but Hadley is still not sure about the big structure. Here she changed her mind at the last minute when Owen was going to help her up the stairs. Notice his look of bewilderment! Finally, for those interested, we'...

O-H, the places we'll go: Spring in Texas, Austin Return
http://jlopeterson.blogspot.com/2015/04/spring-in-texas-austin-return.html
O-H, the places we'll go. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Spring in Texas, Austin Return. Our return flight was out of Austin, so we headed back there on Saturday to spend our last 30-ish hours in Texas near our old home. Our first stop was at the Tylers' house to recreate. From 2 years ago, this time outside with Juan. It was a little chilly and overcast, but the kids had fun playing outside and inside together. Perfect in another year. Our flight out wasn't until early afternoon, so we had all morning to find...

Monday, June 24, 2013. Pool day at Grandma and Grandpa's! The girls have gone swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's a handful of times already this summer but this was my first time in the pool too - hence there actually being pictures to post! Our attempt to get a picture of the two of them together. :). Followed by simultaneous meltdowns. :). Friday, June 21, 2013. Sister Love ♥. Despite the jealousy issues (mostly fighting over affection/attention from me.) and daily "But I. They also kiss each other befo...

Wednesday, May 22, 2013. Dance Recital and General Goofiness. Here she is backstage waiting for their performance. Pink pink pink pink pink pink pink. And pink. Similar to my child hood, we do fashion shows after we go shopping (or when shipments come via mail now). Did I post this one already? I don't know why I didn't do a side pony tail for Abby sooner. Love her wavy hair (so different from my own - thanks Bryce! This is one of my favorite pictures of Mei Mei. ♥. Lilly, Lilly, Lilly. And lastly, for s...

Saturday, August 31, 2013. The saddest part of the girl's day. Is when Daddy leaves for work. This is what I see from the inside of the house. Monday, August 26, 2013. Is the summer almost over already? I've got a ton of pictures to post so I'm just going to dive in. But I will say that school starts for us next Wednesday and I'm so glad Abby is anxious to get back! We're continuing swim lessons in September so it's going to be a fun month for us. We can't wait! All the grand kid's favorite spot to lay.

Friday, October 24, 2014. In our regular school routine. Since my last post, we have been in full swing of school mode in our house. We've also had a few changes in that Abby and Lilly are now sleeping in the same bed! It was 2 weeks of chaos, sweet sister bonding, little sleep, giggles, overall cranky pants and lots of smiles in the end. We all survived the adjustment period - whew! It's a win-win for us all! This is how far we've gotten with potty training with this little gem! Both girls are enamored ...
