Ponies, Cupcakes & Sillies

All these pictures are from late November and a good part of December.  We spent Christmas in Missouri with Grammie and Papa so those pictures to follow in the next post. ;)  I am just playing catch up...as usual!!

Not sure what Hudson has going in this picture...ha!!

 Jaaten told me she had to get dressed for "work" and this was the final product.  My backwards tank, heels and an armful of bracelets......hmmmm.

 Jaaten had asked to ride the horses a couple times so Jaafe got Ted all saddled.  They walked up and down the street a couple times and Jaaten said, "I don't want ride this little pony, I want to ride a big horse." ...

 So Dad let her sit on his roping horse. ;/  She looks so little up there!!

First group bath....Jaaten just wanted to pour water over their heads the whole time.  ;/

 Jaaten's FAVORITE are cupcakes!!  Jaafe received this box of cupcakes from a trade partner at work.  Jaaten didn't know WHERE to start!!

 Jaafe got all 3 kids to sit on his lap for about 3 seconds.  Jaaten looks less than excited!! 12.17.12

 Shannon wanted to take Jaaten to see Christmas lights one evening after I got home from work and she did Jaaten's hair super cute. ;)

 Jaaten's preschool concert was December 19th.  As soon as I get a copy of the video I will try to post it.  Jaaten decided to lay down on the bleachers during the first 2 songs and then DANCE across the stage for the last song.  I should note she was the ONLY child that was dancing!!  HA!

 This is a typical picture of this wild girl in the evening, on my bed, with her blanket, watching a movie!!

Visiting Grammie & Papa

Jaaten got these silly teeth from her school carnival!!

Jaafe had yet another mandatory hunting trip.....this time in Missouri.  ;)  Jaafe took Jaaten with him and dropped her off at Grammie and Papa's (my parents) house.  I have only been away from Jaaten a couple times and each time I was at the beach or Vegas or somewhere I was not thinking about kids.  It was a lot harder being away from her while I was just living our normal lives at home. ;( She was a little tired once they landed. ;)

 Jaaten was SO tired when they got to her Grammie and Papa's house. ;)

BBBRRRRR,....it's COOOLLLLDD, Papa!!

 I had the boys for a whole week to myself!  It was so different without Jaaten around...she is so WILD!!  This is Hudson crawling all over me...funny boy. ;)

 Hudson

Does this little boy need a haircut or what?!?!

When Jaaten woke up from her nap she had to check out all Grammie's Christmas decorations!!

And then they took her to the aquarium...

AND the carousel...

AND to get ice cream...!!!

Jaaten Greer was in Grammie and Papa Heaven!!  Eating donut holes on the couch watching TV with her feet up....I'm not sure Jaaten wants anything more than this out of life right now!!

THANK YOU for having Jaaten, Grammie and Papa!!  She has asked to go back to your house 100 times!!  I wonder why...

 

Halloween Pics &...Lil Late!

Jaaten had a school carnival just before Halloween and she did not want to dress up at all like all the other kids.  Come Halloween night, she was ready to be a PRINCESS!  I was shocked thinking she would be a dinosaur again.  ;)

 The boys were her Princess Dragons. ;)

 Our friends Eric and Sharman have a hot dog, popcorn & candy stand set up at the end of their driveway every Halloween for all the trick or treaters in their neighborhood.  This year they added homemade donuts being made right there in the driveway!!  We MAYBE Trick or Treated 5 houses and Jaaten said, "I don't want anymore candy.  I want to go home."  ;)

Jaafe and Jaaten went over to our friends Jim and Shelly's house a couple weeks ago.  Jaaten loves their little boy, Travis.  He calls her Baby Jaaten.  So cute! 

 Grammie bought a stool for Jaaten to carry around and get into everything she normally cannot reach in my house.  Isn't that nice?!?! ;/   I'm thinking we should bring the stool to KC and see what kind of stuff she can get into at Grammie's. ;)

Jaaten is getting so big...she is always getting in my makeup and jewelry now...WITH HER NEW STOOL!!

 We still have the much-loved-by-Mom-and-Dad-enclosure for the boys.  It won't be long before they will be able to get themselves free though.  I swear sometimes they sit in the corner talking their Twin Talk planning their escape.  I left a basket of clean clothes I was going to sit down and fold in the enclosure.  I walked into the other room to change over the laundry and this is what I returned to less than a minute later!   Steel is gonna be my troublemaker!!
