Don't get used to it.

I'm sure some of you are just beside yourself that I have posted again so soon. Well don't get used to it. We ended up having to turn our furnace on because Han's needed to make some repairs to our wood stove. So I can actually be at the computer with out my fingers turning blue from the cold. I had some catching up to do anyway. As you well know, I took a really long blog break. There are some great pictures but as usual you'll have to go to my flickr account to view them all. I just posted a few of my favorites. There are several more drop shots as well but you have to scroll down to find some of them because they are posted in cronalogical order and it's been a while. I don't like how they do that. Does anyone know if you can change the settings so drop shots will post them in order of posts instead of the date the movie was taken?

Enjoy!

What a fun Daddy!

Believe it of not I actually made it out in the snow. It was sooo soooooo cold but how else was I going to get pictures for our scrapbook? Since I was out in the freezing cold anyway I figured I'd better take a couple of turns on the sled. The girls had a blast. Haley actually went a few times to but it didn't really get much of a reaction out of her.

Weeeeee

Morgan is helping Elizabeth get started by giving her a little push.

Haley Jean!

Look at her little tracks. She looks more like she's skiing than walking. Her boots are a couple of sizes to big.

Elizabeth's Birthday Cake

For those of you who know us well you might be saying "wait a minute, Elizabeth was born in November". No I am not posting last years birthday cake picture. This is cake she has picked out for her birthday this year. She's a got big plans so she figured she better start a good ten months in advance. We just made the cake to practice. And so I could put the recipe card away so I didn't have to look at it for the next ten months.

Elizabeth's Inspiration

Here is the recipe card that inspired Elizabeth. I altered it though. I used a whole wheat with honey recipe for the cake and used honey to sweeten the frosting as well. She enjoyed it.

She's just stink'n cute!!!

I'm sure she's thinking, "maybe if I close my eyes mom won't see me"

Missing You!

Elizabeth misses her cousins. I thought it was so sweet she took their picture down off of the fridge and was studying it.

Another tea party!


HPIM2645, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

I enticed my friend Leesa to bring her girls so I can train them in the way of girlhood and tea parties. We had so much fun.

I love having girls!

Oh the joys!

She also decorated some blankets and the carpet with it. I didn't get a picture of the lotion she smeared all over my nightstand and alarmclock.

Look mom pretty!

Haley found my foundation make-up. It was even in her teeth.

The girls in action!

Below I posted a picture of Elizabeth sitting on the office chair and Haley under her with Morgan standing to the side of it. Well here is a link to the video of what the girls were upto. They arranged this all by themselves.

I'm still alive!

There are a lot of great pictures I've down loaded into my flickr account. I am not going to take anymore of my precious sleep time to post anymore to my blog. I don't quite know where to start as far as an update on our lives and it's to late to try and use my brian. I doubt very much that I will be inspired anytime soon to do so. Sorry. At least you get to see the pictures! Feel free to give me a call and I'll tell you what ever you want to know. We love and miss you all!

P.S. Don't ask us when we're moving back to Washington. Ask God. He's the only one that knows and he won't tell (he he he...a little inside joke for those of you who did MC at River's Edge)

Christmas 2006

This is such a great picture, if I do say so myself.

Yes that is Haley under Elizabeth!

Be sure and view my drop shots and you'll see just how much fun these little rescals had. I'm not going to post the drop shots tonight but hopefully tomorrow.

Umbrella's!


HPIM2607, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

The girls are always asking to buy umbrella's when they see them at the store. So that is one of the things they got for Christmas. Morgans only lasted a short while before her umbrella didn't form a nice dome anymore. Oh well, she still enjoys playing with it.

More More MORE!!!

The girls had a blast getting rides from Daddy. If you view the pictures in my flickr account you'll see that even Haley took a turn. Han's is such a great Daddy!

Time for Tea!


PICT0025-4, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

When my mom was here we took the girls to a place called Tea & Company, and had tea. The girls actually had hot chocolate. It was the cutest little place with really reasonable prices. The girls did great with the real china. What fun!

Grandma's Here!

My mom got to come for a visit right before Christmas. The girls absolutly adored having here her. We had a great time together.

Little Cutie!

Dress Up

This is Morgan's favorite dress up dress. Even though it's really a slip. Don't tell her that!

Before


HPIM2557, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

Okay I had to take a picture of our last family picture and the more recent family picture. I"m sure you will share in my disgust. For one thing we ended up having to wait around for an hour after our scheduled apointment time. By the time we actually got to go into the studio my hair had freaked out on my (as you can tell). Getting family pictures taken is quite an ordeal so instead of retakes I settled for this on. Mostly because it is really cute of my girls. Anyway, I've hated this picture (of me anyway) ever since and I'm rejoicing that I have a new one to replace it. Isn't it amazing what 45 pounds and a bad hair day can do to a person?

After


HPIM2564, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

Thank you Jesus I don't have to look at that picture (above) anymore!

It's almost gone!


HPIM2553, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

Wow! This is really good!

Yummy!


HPIM2554, originally uploaded by NicoleStol.

That was good Mommy. Can I have some more?

Helper Haley

Okay, I'm done with the floor. Is there anything else I can do?

For my information

Because I want to remember the details I'm posting it to my blog. At 13 weeks prenant I moved firewood for a couple of hours. After that I had problems with my insides prolapsing. I've basically been stuck on the couch laying or sitting for the past week. The only thing I can mangage is getting my girls three meal a day and then I need to be down again. After about an hour (give or take, depending on the task at hand) it's to uncomfortable to be up anymore. The same thing happened when I was pregnant with Haley but I don't remember it being this bad. And I don't remember how long it lasted. Hopefully I'll remember to post again when I can resume normal activity again.

1-23-07 Yesturday I was up almost all day with out having to lay down. Thank you Jesus. My blatter and uterus were right at the surface but they didn't bulg out. Today seems to be just as good so far.
