What a big girl!

Since you may be wondering about this already, let me officially say that I need to start doing the blog every other week. For those who are disappointed (and I am sure you are many), sorry! Better to set your expectations than to disappoint you every week that you do not see a new blog.

We are now just over a month away from Judah's THIRD birthday! WOW!!!

In the last two weeks, a lot has happened. Mama and Daddy went on a trip to celebrate our 10th anniversary (yeah us!) and Breen and Pop came to stay with Judah. We had several play days with Abby. Mama and Judah joined Aunt Janna and family for a RV camping weekend. And.....Judah poops ONLY on the potty! As a side note, I think she has grown an inch in the last two weeks and her vocabulary has gone through another explosion! She seems to know every word that exists and can tell us exactly what she is thinking...the wild ride continues!

Judah Quotes:

- Mama told Judah to have sweet dreams at bedtime and Judah said: "Ok Mama...Well, let me say that I will try to have sweet dreams when I sweep tonight. Ok Mama?"

- "Mama, wait a minute... (jumping and waving her arms)...I need to exercise for a minute or two!"

- "I guess I am all grown up now that I poop on the potty wike you and Daddy!"

- "I wike to play wiff my cousins...they better not weave (leave) me out!"

- When Mama asked how the time without us went: "Breen and Pop come to my house and you and Daddy leave on a trip and Breen gives me cookies, and ice cream, and Breen's kind of gum...and candy, and stickers...let me think...and takes me to the mall to play, and buy me some pretty new shoes...and play games wiff me, and make me some chock-ate milk, and have some FUN!!!! Yep, that's what we did together!"

- "Mama, you can be me, Judah, and I will be you, Mama! Ok, Judah! You need to have a time OUT! You supposed to wisten to me and you chose not to wisten...that is not OK! You sit in your time out chair and think about it...........Ok, Judah, you ready to talk about it? What do you need to do next time instead?...That's right! You need to wisten! Remember that next time you make you choice! Ok, Judah, lets hug about it."

Holy crap, folks! We are in for a wild ride!




"I juss wear my shirt-hat! That's a funny thing I did!"



"This is my bubble dress!"



"I DID IT! I can hang this spoon from my nose wike Mama!"



Mama and Daddy were absent for the following photos:

so sweet!



so sweet again!



Just like Pop!



Breen is in the car seat and had to buckle in "for safety" while Judah drives to the store







Fruit snack girl! By the way, the Welch's fruit snacks are fantastic--Breen is buying some for herself at home!



hmmmm....not liking something...




Yep, Judah needed to micromanage Pop's rocking lion experience









Yep, that's about right! Pop is in Judah's hands! Bet he wouldn't have it any other way.




This is so cool! She couldn't do it by herself last time Mama went to the park with her!




"I find a TREASURE!"




Nice find, Judah!




Cool girls!




Judah is navigating the mall using the mall map! Again, she is firmly in charge of the day's activities!




Mama likes this one




These two colored about 100 pages together!



Concentration face...not her best look, but very funny!




A house as tall as Judah!




Feeling proud of herself for making Pop wear a barette





PICNIC!




Apparently, Judah is ready for chores! She can wash dishes all by herself and does a pretty good job!




"A pry-angle!"




so sweet!


A few from the anniversary trip:
Mt. Princeton: we hiked to the ridge at over 13,000ft and then decided the sumit did not look like fun so we took a few pictures and went home




Happy anniversary to us!

By the way, kudos to Cody for planning a trip that was a surprise, super fun and relaxing.


waiting for Mama and Daddy to come home...




"MAMA, MAMA! I'm SO GLAD YOU ARE HOME!!!!! Awwww...hold me Mama! You came home to me...that makes me feel so happy!"




"I put my hand in Breen's bag and I got a CUT!"
A rogue razor does its worst!




"This is my cup of water, Mama, and you can't share it wiff me, Ok?!? Well, maybe you juss have a little sip..."




"Awwww...I love you my Breen!"








After Breen and Pop went home, we went to Daddy's soccer game:
"I have two fruit snacks and I don't think I like to share them...Mama, you sure you want a fruit snack?"




"DADDY!!! IS THAT YOU MY DADDY? ARE YOU MY DADDY, DADDY?!?"



self portrait




After listening to the players on the side: "DADDY! KEEP UP THE PRESSURE!"



Abby came over:
"We sure are cute!"




Mama found a cool project to make "bubble snakes"




"OOHHH! We get to have bubbles in my pool! That makes me feel excited!"


We went camping with Aunt Janna and family:
"Mama! Me and Marley are feedin the fish! They better not try to eat me!"



"We are sharing a snack and some gat-or-ade!"




"RED TONGUES!!! That's so funny!"



The end!
