We went to Pump it up one day. Their is all kinds of slides that have been blown up and a place that plays music and Kaylen kept sitting in the spot and listening to the music so quite. The big slide was the big hit. The girls climbed up it and kept going down. Elizabeth helped Caroline on the little slide while I took pics of her. She was kind of scanred going down them but had fun. The pics tell the whole story.

Morning Glory Muffins

We all made a breakfast pie at Elizabeth's. Liz was gone so I was watching the girls and we had a blast you can tell by the picks. Kaylen kept eating the cheese. The girls had fun playing with the flour and Kaylen stirred the eggs and each child did someting and then they all put it in the dish and cooked it. It was ok I think I just had one piece.

Watch them Grow

2009-03-28T08:29:00.000-07:00

We were still at Elizabeth's house and I wanted to do a fun scrapbook page on the girls so I put them together side by side and got each of their body parts. I did a page for Caroline that turned out so cute when she was 8 months old. Here is the cute pics I hope you can figure out who is who. Have fun. If you can't let me know. Just kidding.

Our New Friend

As you all know we stayed at Elizabeth's house for a few months. It was such fun and a blessing. I love you Sis. We found this turtle on her back porch. Anna was not to impressed about it and Caroline wanted to hold it and I put it on her tummey. You can see her little smile as the turtle is climbing up on her stomache. They had fun holding it and we even made a grassy place for a day to watch him. Such fun memories. Kaylen is on the bottom pick in her cute traning pants which we just got Liz wish me luck.

2009-03-27T21:43:00.000-07:00

I'm starting from the beginning to the end. I think I got the picks lined up right if not go backwards. As you all know I scrapbook and I took almost every pic for that first day of school. Anna currently is going to Westfield in Edmond Oklahoma right by our house nt even a mile away. Which is such a blessing. Aunt Lizzy is doing Anna hair since mom is still trying to get her hair right. Hey sis Anna does her own hair everyday now. Thanks for the help over the time we stayed their. It's not perfect but custe. She puts 3 clips in her hair each day for school. She was so excited but when we got to school she was scared of going in and mom walked her to her classroom and meet her teacher Mrs Suriette. She is the nicest person you could possible meet. She was hesitate for me to go but mom picked her up and she did great. She loves school now. I'm so proud of her and I can't believe preschool is over in 2 months. You are doing so good in school Anna.

Rain

A few weeks ago we had a wonderful rainfall. It was late and we decided to wake up the girls to see the rain. We went outside and watched it for awhile. Anna wanted to get wet so she ren out with daddy and she loved it. I don't remember what she said at the time but it was so cute. I think it was I'm getting wet daddy. Caroline did not want to get wet. But dadd took her in the rain and then she cried. They really enjoyed watching the rain and listening to the thunder.

2008-07-14T18:56:00.001-07:00

The girls love to go outside to play. Now then getting old enought to go outside in the backyard by themselves. There so good. They love the swings the best. When Caroline goes down the slide she goes on her tummey and then turns around while she goes down. Anna loves to swing and move the swing around so it doesn't swing straight. Anna also loves to swing sissy.

Shoes

2008-07-14T18:53:00.000-07:00

Caroline loves to put on grown up shoes now. Then she tries to put them me. Everything I need to get my shows I'll say Care I need to get my shoes on and she will hand me them. So precious.

Sleeping Funny

2008-07-14T18:35:00.001-07:00

My girls are such movers when it comes to sleep time. For Caroline she now has some favorite stuff animals like her puppy, minnie, and bunny. She always has her arms around them when I check on her. Anna is so cute. She gets al her disney friends and she gets rags to cover each up so they don't get cold. Now we have come to the poiint of saying she can only have 2 friends in her bed so she has more space. I had to get the pics it was to precious.

Today we went to Lake Hefner to have a picnic with the Lathrops. The girls had fun playing on the play ground. Caroline kept going through the tunnel while Anna loved the slade. We had hamburgers and some yummu food to go along with it. It was really nice outside and cool.

Fun Memories

2008-07-13T20:35:00.000-07:00

We went to St Pauls church a few weeks ago for a lunchen. It was so fun seeing the old church again. It has changed so much. We hve not been back their since 7th grade. The courtyard looked the same but everything changed. Elizabth and I took pictures of the girls in their cute dresses. They turend out so adorable.

We Love You

2008-07-13T20:31:00.000-07:00

Grand Aub and Bob Bob come to OKC a few months ago. It was such a treat to see them. Bob Bob read Care a book and Care kept going that that and pointing to the pictures. It was hard to get the girls pictures with them though. We all had a fun time. We went to dinner and to our old church at St Pauls. Can't wait to see you all again very soon. We love you.

What a Little Cooker

2008-07-13T20:23:00.000-07:00

My girls love to cook this time I had Caroline by myself and we made sauage biscuits. One of our favorites for breakfast. When Care poured the milk in the bowel I let her try all by herself. She spilled most of it it was so cute. These times are the things we remember though. You have to let them try. She also put the biscuits on the tray. When she put the biscuits on the tray she got stuff on her hands she did not like that at all. She fussed a little. I think she had the most fun with the cupe cakes putting them on the tray. Stirring was another things she loved to do. One day she will be as good as a good as mom. Love ya Care.

My Soccer Angel

2008-07-13T20:12:00.000-07:00

This season we decided to let Anna start soocer at Crossings. I think mom was more excited than her. She was on a team of 8 girls and boys mixed. They never practiced just played games. She mostly just stood there when she was on. She even wanted to ake her minnine one time on the field. She never liked her shin guards and keep complaining they itched. She never scored a goal but kicked the ball a few times. As I have learned 4 is way to young to start sports. We shouldn't let our kids grow up to fast. They will be gone before we know it. So I have to be patient and the time will come when she decides what activity she would like to do something. We had fun watching her and the others.

Anna Turns 4

2008-03-26T20:26:00.000-07:00

My little princess turns 4 today. I cannot believe how fast she is growing up. It feels just like yesterday she was born in my arms. Now she is such a beautiful child in the eyes of the Lord. This year has been a hard one for his. We have had many trials but I'm seeing it all turn arround this year. We had a princess birthday. Her fave princess is Snow White even though she has not seen the movie yet. She was in ahh when she saw the big princess wall hanging. She got by snow white and we got her picture. We had a sign that said Happy Birthday and a cake that we bought. I so wanted to make her cake this year but it was to much to do. Next year Anna we will. Nana came over and Tim's family. We had a very small party just right for a princess. To eat we had grilled chicken, casear salad, rolls, and some other stuff I can't remember. Anna loved to blow out her candles. Then we gave her the knife to cut the cake. She said mommy I wante the biggest piece. She had the biggest smile on her face. Then we opened gifs. She got some fun things. I just hope she wil stay little a little longer. Before you know it she will start school this August mom is going to cry. I love you my little angel.

A fun Day

2008-03-26T20:18:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday Tim and I took the girls to the park and we had a picnic. Anna was so excited she didn't want to eat she just wanted to play but we got her to eat. She ran for the slide first. It's the park with the huge slide that I used to slide on when I was little. Tim went down with Caroline it was so cute. Anna loved to climb up high in the tower. Caroline's fave this was the car she would rock back and forth and smile so big. I was in the car with Care and Anna decides to get on top of the car and is goes further back. I thought we were going to fall out. It was so funny. Anna alos loved to swing in the tire swing. We all had a blast and then we did Easter eggs next. I'm so glad to see Spring again.

We went to go to Chucky Cheese on a cold winter day with some friends. Last time we went Caroline loved going. She rode all the rides and had a blast but this time was so different. She would not ride any rides and would scream when I put her on Barney so I rode with her. After we at we took the kids to see chucky and Care would scream for me to hold her. Anna had a blast so loved playing ski ball and I thought her how to roll the ball up into the holes one time she threw it up there. She also rode the jet ski with mom. The kids had fun and it was nice to go somewhere that was fun. Caroline was glad to get out of there though. Next time Care you will have fun.

Making music

2008-03-26T19:51:00.000-07:00

Everytime we go to puppy grammy's house the girls love to play on the piano. Anna loves to play one key at a time while Caroline loves to bang them. It's so cute and Anna is always giving Care a hug. I bet we might have some musicians in our family. Keep playing girls we love you.

We love little Kaelyn

2008-03-26T19:45:00.000-07:00

Anna talks about her cousin all the time baby Kaelyn. She told me one day Kaelyn was her favorite. Today when we went to the zoo she said I want to go to the zoo to see Kaelyn. They play so well together and don't fight much. It's amazing to see how much they are growing. I wish they woulld stay little but they won't. We love you little K. Anna also loves to hug her and give her kisses. So sweet.

Is that really a bird

2008-03-25T19:38:00.000-07:00

Are you asking yourself if this is a bird or a bird house. If you guessed a bird your right. We had a real bird in your house a month ago. It was so much fun. Daddy was tryingso hard to get the bird out of the house with a broom. He tired for about 30 minutes going from room to room because he kept flying around. It wasn't the bird tht gave us al laghs it was Caroline. She would laugh so loud everytime Tim would talk and th ebird would move. I have never seen anything like it. We even got it on video. One time tim was trying to get the bird outside and Tim said, don't you see the outside bird go out their and the bird flew over Caroline like chasing her and she ran so fast she feel and then laughed it was adorable. I just hope he never come sback 45 minutes later the bird was gone.

Spray Grounds

2007-07-30T18:54:00.001-07:00

Today I took the girls and we met up with Anna's good friends, Carlee, Riley and Shawn. We went to the Spray Grounds which is off Penn. It was really neat their was like different water sprays where you push a buttom and the kids get wet. The girls loves the little ones the best and the rainbow. Anna was really hestiate because she did not like to get her face wet. Everytime it would get wet she would start to cry and sk for a towel. Another bad side was I used my sister's video camera and it got wet and now it has to be fixed oh well. The kids had a great time and we had a picnic lunch also. At the end when we got home I got Anna out of the car and she fell asleep on the floor and then I got Caroline and she did the same thing as I was getting the stuff out of the car. What a priceless memories.

Today we went to the doctor on her birthday and she was not that happy this time. She is 29 inches tall and weighs 17 pounds and 15 ounces. Wow so much smaller than Anna who wieghed 20 pounds at 1. Plus te doctor said she is going to be bigger than Anna we wil have to wait and see what God has in store for my little one. Happy birthday Caroline. We love you.

Almost 1 Remember the time

2007-07-24T15:03:00.000-07:00

Wow is all I can say God has blessed out family of 2 little girls so far. Caroline Lathrop has been such a blessing to our family. It's so hard to belive that tonight will be the night Tim and I went into the hospital to deliver out second child. It all happened to fast and she is the most precious gift God has given us along with our precious Anna. Carlline has done so much with her cute laughs, smiles, late night feedings, cries, and memories. As of today before she turns one she is now doing the indian covering her mouth and going AHHHH, almost walking she will almost balance for 10 seconds and then fall down. From crawling, to hugs and kisses, I couldn't be more proud of this little child from God. My prayer is for one day for her to ask Jesus into her heart and memorize Bible verses like her sister and aslways ask mommy can you read the Bible to me I want to learn about Jesus. That is the most precious gift I think we can give our children is to teach them about Christ and how to be like HIm and love them for who they are no matter what trails they face each day. I love you so much my little care.

Happy Birthday Caroline

2007-07-24T14:54:00.000-07:00

Today is a a very special day for us. It's almost Caroline's 1st birthday a few days early. Mom worked really hard all week getting the house all clean for her guests. We made pasta salad, hamburgers, watermelon, chips and cake with water and tea. Tim cooked the burgers and I got everything else together. When everyone got their we ate and Caroline even ate the pasta salad while Anna did not. It was time to sing Happy birthday and Caroline listened really well and even cut the cake with mom's help. Sad thing is she never ate the cake she just banged on her tray and cried and everytime I tried to give her some she puched my hand away. She got a bunch of cook gifts from firends she loves like a precious moments statue, polar bear house, panio, clothes, a mickey mouse tent, swim stuff and more. She really had a fun time. It's amazine to see how much the change and grown into the preciouse little ones God wants them to be at this age. I wish time would go slower. I don't want them to grow up anymore. I wish they could stay little forever. We love you little Caroline.

LITTLE RED WAGON

2007-07-24T14:42:00.001-07:00

Yesterday I took the girls for their first wagon ride. Anna was so excited she said, Mommy I have never been on a wagon ride. So I got their pics taken like always for the first pics and we took a 30 minute walk around the neighborhood. Anna kept telling me to go down low meaning she wanted me to go down the hills. She said go faster mommy but poor mommy coudn't go to fast. Caroline was more interested in the water but the girls had a blast. I'll talk them again soon.

A DISHWASHER GIRL

2007-07-24T14:08:00.000-07:00

Caroline loves to help me put the dishes away. Everytime I open the dish washer she goes straight for the baby bottle things. She also can now pull the whole bottom of it off. It's so much fun because mom can get the dishes done while Caroline can play. Memories to remember.

My little Gardener

2007-07-16T19:47:00.001-07:00

Anna has been asking me all summer. Mommy can we get flowers to plant. I want to learn about the roots and weeds to. So we went to Wal-Mart and got a bunch fo different colors of flowers. She wanted purple the most, and I also got some fun fun in red and yellow. When she was napping I spent 3 hours pulling the weeds and getting the holes ready for her to help me plant them. When we got out there she only planted one of them. She said Mommy I don't want to do anymore. So I planted the rest and she watered them. I had fun though and now our garden is really pretty with out lovely angels in the background. It's amazine how much God put his work into nature.

2007-07-09T19:29:00.001-07:00

My little cooks. Anna loves to cook with Mommy. Whenever I feel she can do something I let her help me out. Today we made mash pototes and green beans. She helped me snap them and while Caroline tired to eat them. Then the pototes she smashed them and made and put the butter and milk in them. Then I helped her some and she said, Mommy you have to bang on it meaning to bang on the side to get the excess off. She said Mommy I love mashed potatoes. Caroline when I gave her the smasher he almost put it on the ground and she put her fingers in it. It was really fun to watch them cook. I don't care how messy they get as long as they learn and have fun.

2007-07-09T14:05:00.000-07:00

Here is Caroline walking with her simba car.

Caroline just born.

2007-07-07T12:44:00.000-07:00

Our little one is finally 11 months old. I can't not belive this not much longer til she is 1. We had a rough time last month. She got really sick with a high fever and a rash that lasted more than a week. So she was sick at 11 months. Mommy slept in her room with her and we both slept on the floor in sleeping bags. There are the pics you see. Now she is doing so much better. She is holding on thing and walking with her simba car, and holding and walking across the couch. I wish life would slow down. It's so amazing how God changes these little girls so fast. We love you little Care, or Anna would say Carolina.

A basket full of joy. I thought it would be fun to take some cute pictures of Caroline in the landary basket. She wanted out so fast so I had to be really speedy.

2007-07-07T12:39:00.000-07:00

I did a scrapbook spead on Anna in the sink when she was really young. Now this one is of my little Care. It was much harder to take pics of Care then Anna. Care wanted to always get out of the sink. I kept putting her back in to get pics. It was really cute.

2007-06-26T19:43:00.000-07:00

Today is a special day. We went over to Nana's house for lunch of tunna fish sanswiches, jello salad my favorite, carrotts and chips. It was so ymmy as always. I showed grandma my scrapbook pages. She loved thema and saw them all. She said, Christin you have such a talent. Then we went outside. Nana showed Anna her flower gardens. She learned about the flower and smelled some of them. Anna was really excited. She aslo made her own flower garden by getting a few flowers and putting them on the ground. I thought it was so cute. I also got so nice pics of the girls with grandma. Aren't they so cute. Then we went back inside and Anna saw the cats grandpa made and she walked them around the house it was so funny and Caroline knocked them down with her hand. Nana said she can't hurt them Christin. We had such a fun time. Nana even showed me the doll house she is making for me. We love you Nana. The girls had so much fun.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY DADDY

2007-06-26T19:06:00.000-07:00

Today is Father's Day. I love this day. Anna made Daddy a special card at school for a Christian poem. Then I ordered some wallets pics of the girls and put them in a dad's wallet that holds 40 pics so he can take it to work with him and he can look at his girly girls anytime. Then I had each girl color a smal pic to include in the wallet. Caroline even did one with my help. Shhh don't tel daddy. Anna gave daddy her card and I had Caroline give daddy the sack with the wallet. She just held the bag and Anna said, Give it to daddy Caroline" and she didn't so Anna got it from her and gave it to daddy. He loved his gifts but he loves the girls more. We love you daddy. Love your precious babies.

A NEW THING I CAN DO

2007-06-10T17:34:00.000-07:00

Today is a big day for our little Caroline. I was cooking dinner and I noticed she clapped for the first time on June 10th, 2007. Then I clapped with her. She was smiling so big and now she does it all the time. Caroline I'm so proud of you. She is growing up so fast. Enjoy the pics.

TAKE THE PLUNGE VBS

2007-06-08T13:20:00.000-07:00

Today is going to be a awesome week for our children. From June 5-8th is Vacation Bible School at our church. I'm helping out with the 3 yr old class. At 8:00am I'm doing breakfast witht he babies and getting them all washed up til 9:00. Our theme this year is Take the Plunge. Each day we have differnt take the plunges and they are Plunge into Courage, Faith, Service, and Obedience. We have a singing time were they watch a video of children playing at a water park and singing praise songs. Anna loves the song where she jumps and she swings her hands so much. Then we have a Bible Story and then we all separate into our classes. The Bible stories we talked about this week are, Jesus walks on the water, The one about the desiciples casting there nets on the other side, the disciples washing Jesus's feet and I forgot the other one. They did some fun crafts that has to deal with water. They made flippers, a water bottle ocean, and a photo card with their photo on it just to name a few. Then they went outside and played for awhile and then they came back in and we had a activity along with the story. ON Thursday they had a sprinkler day and Anna did not want to go in. She said,"mommy the water gets in my eyes," and started craying. So she played on the slide. We also collected cans for a food bank drive and build a castle. I had a really fun time being with the children and teaching them about Jesus and to show service to them. Then we closed with more singing. I think they learned alot about courage, faith, service and obidence. It will be a week I will never forget.

LITTLE SWIMMERS

2007-06-08T12:51:00.001-07:00

Today was the first day Tim and I are going to take the girls swimming. I bought Anna a new Minny Mouse suit and she loves it because Minnie is like her favorite stuffed animal. Elizabeth bought Caroline her swimsuit it's so cute because she doesn't have to get sun burned and they don't have to wear diapers. We went swimming for our kick off for Vacation Bible Scool on Monday night June 4th, 2007. Anna was so ready to get into the water but when she put her toes in she did not want too. She just cried. Tim finaly got her to get in and she lasted like 1 minute. Caroline did not like it at all and screamed so I pulled her out and she stayed with me. Anna just sat by the side of the pool and dangled her feet in. Then we went to Kitty Grammy's house and had ice cream and we got the bathed and put them to sleep. I told Anna we would go again when it's a little warmer.

NOT TO YOUNG TO DRIVE

2007-05-28T18:21:00.000-07:00

We were waiting for puppy grammy at her house. I took the girls outside to play. Then I decided to get back in the car and Anna got in the drivers seat. She wanted to push everything. She even pushed the horn a few times and jumped and she said, "mom that sound is loud. Then when she turned on the music she said, "mom help me sing this song and I said I don't know that praise song that well. She said, " we will learn it better next time. When I put Caroline in all she wanted to do was climb the seat but she put her hands on the wheel one time.

Lotion Girl

2007-05-28T18:16:00.000-07:00

As I was giving the girls there bath I had Carline all washed up in the pj's. I was getting Anna's hair washed and when I turned around Caroline got into the lotion. It was all over her face and hands. So I grabbed my camera and got as many pics as I could. It reminds me of Anna when she was a baby. No mom I would never do such a thing.

TWINS

2007-05-28T18:13:00.000-07:00

It's so much fun to dress the girls in the same clothes. They both got these cute shirts and skirts from their kitty grammy. There so precious in them.

Watch Me Grow

2007-05-25T06:22:00.000-07:00

My baby girl is now 10 months old today. We took her to the doctor for her check up and she did so well. Never cried when she got her shot. She is so big. She did not like getting her ears checked though. She had a really mad face. She weighs 17 pounds 6 oz. Is 27 and a half inches tall. Another milstone was hit today she is crawling now. So i think I'm going to write it down as she is 10 months old. She goes down on her stomache some but is crawling a while and then dropping down again. She is growing up so fast right before my eyes. Way to go little one.

A Girl And Her Cup

2007-05-25T06:12:00.000-07:00

Caroline is finally using a cup like a big girl now. The only thing is the milk rolls down her checks alot and she makes a such mess. Her favorite thing to do with the cup is to throw it around the tray and then on the ground. It's so funny. I have been telling her no though and sometimes she cries. I'm so proud of you Caroline. She is also eating bannana really well in pieces.

Anna's so adorable stories

2007-05-23T06:46:00.000-07:00

Anna’s Cutie Phrases or stories

Tim was mowing the lawn on in October and Anna looked outside the window and said Daddy is making the grass pretty.

11-16-06 We were playing hide and seek and Anna and I were hiding in the bathroom behind the door. Tim was looking for us and Anna says, Daddy is not very good at this, meaning the game.

Anna likes to call your grandmothers names for Noreen she called Kitty Grammy for Pam she called Puppy Grammy.

For church she calls it Jesus Loves me.

When we went to the festival of the lights Anna called the tree a Brismistree.

Anna calls the computer room a puter room.

2-27-07 We were eating fried chicken today and I was feeding Anna. I gave her a small piece of chicken and she took it out and it was a small bone. After she pulled it out of her mouth she said, “ This is a flag’. I laughed so hard. A piece of the chicken was dangling like a flag from the bone. It was so funny.

4-8-07 Anna and I were reading the Easter story about Jesus dying on the cross. I explained how Jesus died on the cross and then he was put in the tomb and then he rose to heaven and was alive and that is how we celebrate Easter. Then we talked about the Easter Bunny and I said the Easter bunny would come to your house tommarrow and some eggs would be hidden. Then I asked Anna to repeat the Jesus story I said Anna who did Jesus die for she said Jesus died for the Easter Bunny. I laughed so hard. Then I explained that he died for our sins and also for Anna, Mommy and Daddy and Caroline. It will be a story I never forget.

5-18-2007 I was putting Anna to bed and she always lines up her Disney characters in the same order every night. She has from left to right Pluto, Goofy, Donald, Daisy on her big pillow. She has Minne and mickey on her Mickey pillow. They always fall off her bed after she is asleep because I take most of them off so she will have more room to sleep. Well this night I took them off before she fell asleep while I was rubbing her back. She said Mommy they fell off my bed and I gave Pluto and Donald back to her and she said, “Mommy Donald doesn’t sleep by me”. So she put them on there side.

ANNA'S FIRST ICE CREAM CONE

2007-05-21T18:49:00.001-07:00

MY FAVORITE PICTURE ANNA HAS HER TOUGUE OUT IS SO EXCITED AND CAROLINE HAS HER MOUTH OPEN IS REALLY TO EAT IT.

THE LONG TOUGNUE IS ANOTHER FAVE PIC OF HER.

Today was a super day. Anna ate her dinner really well and I told her I would take her to get her first Ice Cream Cone. She was so excited to go the the store with me. I had her choose which flavor she wanted and she said, "cookies n cream". I got her a junior cone and I asked them to put the ice cream in a cup and put the cone in the bag. Then we got home and I layed out a towel in the grass. Caroline was on the towel too. She loved eating it and didn't make a really big mess like I thought she might. The funnist thing was I told her to give a bite to Caroline and she did, and Care as we call her sometimes hinted for more and you can just see the look on Anna's face of excitement and Caroline was loving it. When it was time for her to eat the cone. She was like no mommy I want to just eat the ice cream and she kept trying to lick the ice cream out of it. It will be a story I will never forget.

Curly Anna

2007-05-21T18:25:00.000-07:00

Today is a very neat day. We were getting ready for church and Anna asks me to curl her hair. So I did. She never complained how hot they were and loved looking at herself in the mirror when I was done. Shee her in her green dress all dolled up and ready for church. I was happy with the turnout. Plus if you look really hard she wanted me to paint her toes too. She said," now mommy I will look like a princess."

The Girls Together

2007-05-20T19:57:00.000-07:00

I thought it would be fun to have the girls together in there pictures so here is some of my favorites. The picture of the Mickey's is at kitty grammy house as Anna would called Noreen Lathrop my husbands mom is at Easter time. On the parchutte we had a picnic for Copper Creek. In the blanket was a fun picture to take I told the girls to put their hands across their stomache and they did I had to put Caroline's on really fast it was so much fun. In the Orange is their OSU Cowboys page I do each year. I dressed them up in dad's orange shirt and the posed for a cute pic. The one where their laying down was a cute idea. Anna always told Caroline she looks like a frog when she lays down with her head up. Caroline was laying down and Anna says," Mommy I want to be a frog like Caroline". I laughed so hard and took a pic. The kiss is just to sweet of Anna kissing her sister.

I love you girls so much.

2007-05-20T19:18:00.000-07:00
