Matty Moo... what are you running from?
You look so worried... what is it... a bee? Is sissy chasing you? . . . did you see a scorpion?
OH! Nope, it's just Daisy chasing you! Run, Moo Moo, RUN!
Looks like Daisy caught Addie! Daisy Duke likes to run and chase us... when she catches up - she "noses" us... it makes us laugh and giggle...
Isn't she the BEST? We love, love, love our Daisy Duke!
The last part of January has been amazing! It's been cool enough to wear long sleeves but warm enough to play outside for hours... I have been practicing baseball.... and it looks like by this miss that I need to practice some more!
Sissy is our mom's multitasking dream child.... play soccer with a bat and you've played two sports at once! Sissy doesn't care what the sport is.... she's in!
Nothing like a little friendly game of tug of war over our favorite cozy coupe....

Matt's also a BIG fan of playing ball.... check out Daisy's ball mid throw!
Looks like Matty just likes to play tug of war with anyone who is involved in playing with our cozy coupe! Sissy doesn't even really like to play with this car... she just likes to keep things interesting by making us a little jealous!
Miss Annette.... we wish you all still lived next door... Sissy is needing some instruction on how to use a big girl swing and we are sure that your crew could have taught her how to do it! You really, really, really need to leave that cold, miserable weather and come back to AZ! 
Looks like we have a little traffic jam on the slide! This bumper to bumper pile up must be what it's like for our dad who has the world's longest commute!
Well, even though I was a little "behind" on my January pics.... I am just about caught up! I have some more fun outside pics.... and then on to February.... the month of LOVE... (ewww... gross!)
Sissy.... why in the WORLD are you putting on your gloves? Oh yah! It's winter...
Our sissy LOVES to play dress up.... gloves, hats, tutu's, hair bows, shoes.... you name it... if it is around she is putting it on!
So there really wasn't any special reason for the petticoat, hat and gloves.... she just felt like being a snow princess today!
And she would NEVER forget her rocker shoes! This girl is the definition of girlie girl.... Mom said in college people used to say she was a girlie girl... just because she's not a fan of getting dirty AND loved to wear high shoes to school.... so it looks like Addie may turn out like our mom.
Matty Moo and I just sit back and watch. Sometimes it looks like so much fun that we join her too!
I'm not sure what these two are up to... but... looks like they are either telling secrets or planning an attack...
Puzzle time is always entertaining around here... Matty Moo likes to show you where all the pieces go like we can't figure it out on our own! You'd think he was the big brother!
Sometimes even when you do look this cute.... you still have to go in time out! As you can tell, Addie's not too happy about this.
Bet you were wondering where I was at! I build totally cool forts and usually chill by myself. The Twinkies think it's really fun to knock them over to find me... which usually makes me pretty mad. But, I am learning just to rebuild them.
It's been pretty cold and rainy around here which means LOTS of time inside which can get pretty boring.... Mom has been changing it up by coming up with lots of art projects to keep us busy! We made a GIANT wall poster!
Matty is always more interested in finding matching crayons instead of coloring.... but it's kinda nice when you are looking for a certain color.... Moo usually has them all!
This is Levi! Levi and his parents came and hung out with us while they were in town! Levi is a little younger than us but can hang like a big kid!
Moo and Levi were fast friends.... Sissy and I liked him too... but for some reason Matty Moo steals all the attention when friends are visiting! Can't wait to see you again Levi... maybe next time you are in town we can all do the zoo together!
You know it's gunna be a good year AND a good trip to the zoo when the very first thing you do on New Year's is ride a carousal! Gram, Belle Belle, Auntie Whit, Papa, Libby and I all took a spin... Adventurous Addie decided that she likes to stay on steady ground... so she stayed back with the parents....
Matty Moo (who is afraid of elevators AND being on the second floor of a shopping mall) LOVED it! We were all a little shocked!
Our zoo has a new dragon exhibit! It is super cool... Belle Belle made fast friends with this dragon....
This is "Hollywood" ... aka Libby.... she rocked the zoo in Super Star style!
And THIS is Reba! She's a funny, furry girl who loves to dance back and forth... I just love to visit Reba!
A little sister love! Belle Belle and Libby were in Phoenix for a whole 3 weeks... but sickness kept us apart more than we wanted!
The older three with the Gram....
Sissy bug and Matty Moo... they get jipped and have to view the zoo from the stroller.... there just isn't enough of us to keep up with them!
There was an Ostrich that was going CRAZY..... All the animals stopped to watch her temper tantrum... she must have learned some of it from our own Matty Moo!
I loved Libby's jacket... she's like a pink Elmo!
Here's Jay... he was lazy on this visit... the last couple of times he's been up in a tree!
WOW! These animals are super cool!
Yes, I am quite a ladies man.... I just hope when I grow up that I will be "in" with the ladies who are NOT in my family!
Matty Moo finally busted out of the stroller... he had a BLAST hangin with dad!
Sissy broke free too - but she likes to have her puppy "leash" on her... it's the only way mom can ever let us all out of the stroller at one time!
Christmas at Gram & Papa's was really fun because my Libby and Belle Belle were in town! I am 2 days older than Libby - so it's kinda like having 2 sets of twins in the family!
Sissy and I sat down to play some Christmas carols on the piano before opening gifts.... well, we tried to play some carols anyways.
Here are all us grand kids TRYING to get organized for a group shot.... yah, right!
Even with the help of Gram & Papa... it's close to impossible to get everyone looking at the camera at the same time! For 3 out of 5 of the kids isn't a bad ratio.
Let's just say when Belle Belle and Libby are around... I feel like a rock star! I hope I have this kind of effect on the ladies when I get to high school. Well, with the ladies that are NOT in my family....
Mom says this reminds her of some of dad's prom pictures... she told me there is nothing worse than a clingy guy! I just love my Libby!
Think she loves me too! We had the BEST (but crazy) Christmas with each of our families this year! I think EVERY ONE was in need of some rest after these fun two days!
