Chris is not going to be happy when he see's this. (good thing he doesn't know how to use this blog) hee hee...in my evil little laugh
yes I found Hee-man boxers for him and a vintage Close Encounters of the Third kind tee.

CHRISTMAS DAY
This was our first Christmas in our new house. (I still miss our Island home a little) Lexy was a happy camper, she got a lot of cold hard cash, that is huge when you are 13, she got pretty much everything she wanted. Nintendo DS, boots, day at the spa with her Aunt Krissy, an informative book about boys from Aunt Cindy. (she read 136 pages that night, finished it 2 days later, ya think she enjoyed it?) and many more goodies.
Riley had fun opening everyone else's presents, but didn't try to open her own. Silly baby! She mostly loves having her own section of ornaments on the tree, all the non-glass ones and ugly ornaments you usually put in the back of the tree.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEARS!

Dinner at Great Grandma & Grandpa Ferguson
It was a Christmas Eve Eve dinner (12/23). Riley finally got to meet her Great-Great Grandmum, Mabel. (Dallis's Mom, she lives with Doug and Colleen, Colleen is Dallis's little sister, Grand-mum has 8 kids all together, no idea how many grandkids)
Lexy and Riley sitting next to Mum.
Riley loved flirting with Doug, (that's understandable because he's just a giant kid at heart) you can see Doug in the background standing in the kitchen
Riley got this couch from her friend Bev. As you can see Riley loves it.

Riley had to show off her new pink fuzzy boots to her Dad. She already loves shoes, I didn't know it could start so young. (Lexy was 3 1/2 yaers old before she got into shoes and clothes)
After dinner Riley had so much food in her hair that I could give her a faux-hawk, she thought it was pretty funny.

More fun in the snow!
Chris and Lex sled and had snow ball fights all day & everyday until the snow melted.

My sister is going to kill me for posting this. These undies were part of a gift from the family gift exchange party. My Dad was the biggest jokester of the group. (no surprise there) we all had so much fun lots of laughing.

SNOW DAY! NO SCHOOL!!!!!
So Lexy spent the morning playing in the snow! Well we see that she made an actual snow-MAN, yep that's our girl, Lex is a real jokester.
(Yes, it's a pickle and two pinecones. Oh so clever and creative we are proud parents)

Thanksgiving morning with Lexys cousin,
(G-ma Janet, Cole, Michael, Baker, Taylor, & Conner)
Lexy is hiding in the back, you can only see her eyes.
they use to be so little now they are all teenagers. Lexy and Riley are two of the youngest on her Dads side, but Lexy is the oldest of the kids on her Moms side. Riley was the youngest on both sides, until Cousin Lupine (Dads side) and Paul had a baby boy earlier this month.
And pregnant Aunt Lindsey holding Riley.

Lexy getting her hair done with her grandma! Looking pretty for the camera.

snort...sigh....snort...
the life of Sophie

I thought I would share with everyone what Lexys room usually looks like. The day before someone is going to visit, Lexy "cleans" her room.
Well she picks up the clean clothes off the floor and puts them in the dirty laundry. I swear I wash clothes 2 or 3 times before she even wears it. This is really how her room is! Don't you like the way the dresser looks like it's barfing? Sometimes the drawers are even on the floor. Its a good thing we love her so much!

Look who's walking!!!!!

I was going thru our pictures and found this sweet one of Lexy cuddling with Riley (3months @ that time) Wow I can't believe a year has past, our girls are growing up so fast.

Well here is the first snowgirl of this season.

I know it isn't Christmas yet but I am always getting ready for my favorite Season. Next week I will be putting up a few decorations, Chris likes me to at least wait until after his Birthday. (11-17) I don't think I can wait for that, I just have so many things to hang and make sparkle.
*47 days 'til Christmas!!*(on 11-7)

And here is sophie as a "snow-dog"

The birthday Party!
Riley wasn't too sure what to do with her own cake, but soon she found out how tasty it was.
We are so glad that most of our family was able to make it to our new home, we had a nice time. Thanks for coming.
(sorry about the super long ferry wait)
Oh, and don't worry she did NOT eat that whole cake, she just made a sticky pink mess out of it.

Gift Time!
Riley is new to opening gifts, but she caught on quickly.

Go Wolves!

Lexy is #31

Yep, Lexys new school are the Wolves also.
They are pretty good for being in 8th grade, they have won 6 out of 9 games. It is always so entertaining to watch.

So Happy!
With cousin Emily.

Like father like daughter. They both love pizza.

Sophie still doesn't like to get hugs from Riley

Today is my Birthday!
I am already 1 year old.

Birthday Girl

Not too happy taking a bath.

All done with my bath, now I am happy,

Oh Lexy is going to be so mad at me for this old picture, but it is sooooo funny.

(click on the photo to make it bigger)

Lexy getting ready for school

Thats a good picture, you can't see how messy her room really is.

A little play-time before bed-time.

More from the ugly wig. Yes, that is my brother Jimmy, AKA Jim-butt.

Lexy is always dressing up her little cousin Kelly. Here she did a "before & after" note the look on Kellys before picture, it makes me laugh everytime I see it.

Sophie Loves going in the car. She jumps in it as soon as the doors open.

MY GIRLS

I love my books

She loves the camera

Lexy was getting mad at me for making her pose.
