Russell and Ashley: :)

Ok now that the Christmas post is over.. here is what's new.

Calie:

11 months old.
Eats anything and everything.
When your eating, she is trying to climb your leg or crying to get some food.
Is starting to really play with toys, more then just holding them.
Her favorites are the push dog and the barnyard that she climbs in & out of.
19 lbs as of Jan
Standing and walking with everything.
Laughs at Dallas for everything.
Adores her Grandma Dawn. She starts laughing and moving her arms when she sees her.
Loves water, the bath, the tub, Dallas ice cube.
Still sleeps all night.
Loves to cuddle.
Loves to talk.
Has 6 teeth and 2 more on the way.
Is almost ONE!! I very much dislike this. I have made her birthday invites already. :)

Dallas:

3 Years Old going on 30.
Major attitude!
Loves any action hero.
Loves cartoons.
Still loves water,
Potty trained, we still have an occasional accident but usually anywhere but home.
Loves to play, I love to watch him play.
HUGE imagination.
Afraid of the yellow slide on the swing set.
Loves guns and watching Dad do anything with them. Luckily he seems to really understand that the guns mom and dad use are different then his guns. He will not touch them instead he will stand back, keep Calie back and tell us they are dangerous. Don't worry they are always locked up.
Loves chocolate milk.
Loves the idea of school. He is enrolled in preschool that will start in September.
Loves swimming and will be in swimming lessons again this summer.

Russell and I have been enjoying the winter. We love having the wood burning stove on, relaxing and watching movies together. Russ did a lot of Duck hunting this year and did pretty good. Dallas always asked to go and always asked for his ducks when Russ got back. I don't want him to grow up, but I know he is going to LOVE hunting with his Dad. We also applied for our concealed weapons. We held a class here a week ago and are just waiting for the application to be finished.
