Cortney's Crew

So while I'm in the blogging mode, I figured I'd update on all that Scarlett's up to. Her vocabulary continues to grow. She loves to chatter and it's fun figuring out what she means. She also understands A LOT more then she can say. I constantly find myself laughing at her. The other day she was walking around holding the tip of her nose and then she would blow out through her nose and she would say "It's snot!!" Which it was. It was so gross, yet so funny at the same time. She calls both of her sisters "Riley". It doesn't matter how much we try, we can't get her to say Alexandra. Some day she will.... She loves to stick her lower lip out and wiggle her jaw back and forth. It is hilarious, but she has yet to do it while I'm videotaping her. She loves to "Go!Go!" but absolutely hates her stroller. So when she has to go on walks with me, it's horrible. But the more we do it the better she gets. Plus when we'...

So even though I actually started working on these starting in December I'm just going to call them my New Year's Goals. I really feel like I'm going to accomplish a lot this year. In December one of the moms at school decided she was going to go walking every morning at a mall near my house. I jokingly told her that I could join her because then I could walk and wouldn't be out in the cold breaking out in hives. So the next day she asked if I was serious about coming and I told her only a little bit. But I decided to try it out and I love it! We walk around this mall twice which equals about 3 miles. There are usually 2 of us but sometimes we are up to 4 moms! We just go right after we drop the kiddos off at school. It's kinda funny because it's an old mall and almost all of the shops are closed, but yet I remember when it was the only mall around and THE cool place to go. It's been great having the other mom's to talk to while we walk. Yester...

So silly me. I kept thinking I had tons of photos to upload so I kept putting off blogging. Boy was I wrong! Apparently I forgot I was supposed to be taking pictures. Although I think Dean had the camera during the Christmas present part...... A few weeks before Christmas my mom usually makes sugar cookies with the girls. This year they did it at my house. Aric usually helps with the cookies, but he had to work that morning so I did the cookies and he came over later to decorate. The girls had a blast! Although Alexandra had to keep washing her hands over and over because she'd lick them anytime she got frosting or sprinkles on them. Scarlett got to join in the fun too. Although she liked when we were making the cookies better. Mom gave her a piece of dough and at first she touched it and said "Yucky!" but then Mom shoved a little bit in her mouth and from then on she kept wanting more "Yum!Yum!" It was cute you'd give her a little piece and she...
