SHE IS ALMOST 3......

When Ms Cashlen says she wants to take pictures you'd better go with it! They turn out so much cuter when it's clearly her idea! So we whipped in and took some pics for her birthday invitation! We need to get these out seeing as her party is 2 1/2 weeks away!
These boots are the best things in the whole wide world!!! The 3 kids each got a pair for Christmas and I think they will have a yearly pair from now on.....the Crocs rain boots are much lighter than other rain boots and they look so cute with everything, oh, and they rinse right off of course!
Her hips pose =)

She often talks with one hand on her hip, I always laugh but it's just a "Cashlen thing."



This is a new one, she was having so much fun!

I can't believe my baby girl is almost 3, we have a super fun surprise in store for her the day before her real birthday and party, I am so excited!!!

CHRISTMAS EVERINGHAM STYLE!

This year we had another great Christmas, with a special twist! Sadly, Grandma fell recently in Krogers parking lot and broke her hip! Kind of odd since my Grandpa was a very integral part of Krogers for many many years and very well known for that by many people nation wide. But moving on with the story, she had surgery the following day after the fall and quickly moved to a rehab center, she is a very strong woman and is on the fast track. She will actually be getting out of there already by the end of the week. But we did not think she would be able to attend Christmas but they let her out for a few hours so it did make this years Christmas extra special to have her join us! It was at Jill's house and she has horses that are my cousins from 20 years ago, Cashlen adores those fuzzy old horses!
Passe! She is getting much better in her ballet class, I can remember when she couldn't do this at the beginning!
Cole, Uncle Josh and Kody chillin'.
And Landon must have snuck on his Daddy's phone and called his Great Grandpa so they could be cute together and match!
See Grandma to the left? Looking fabulous as usual.....
Baby Addi saw that Bebe had food and decided she would be cool to hang around.
Little girl cousins, Cashlen, Mayley, Aubrey and Addi
plus one big girl, Madison.
The 3 Musketeers!

Excited opening, wait til you see the video, it sounds like this, "YES! OH YES! JUST WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED! LOOK! LOOK!" From a few different kids!
Lalaloopsy twins, she loves them!
Hot wheels, our first ever set. Maybe we will go set it up at Lindsay Lakes one day since it's 8 feet long!!!

CHRISTMAS AT POP & BEBE'S 2011

This year was one of the best Christmas parties ever! It was more relaxed and so much fun! Bebe's decor and house was over the top and beautiful as always!
The turkey was super delicious and oh so moist.
These guys are of course identical twins and looking more alike all of the time!
I often catch people staring at them, their eyes moving back and forth, back and forth. It is interesting, I will admit when I see identical twins I do the same and I am a mother of multiples, but still can't help it. It is just fascinating to say the least!

The boy cousins.
All the cousins =) And now I can see I picked the wrong picture, the icons are so small and there actually was a cute one, not a crazy one!
I told the kids to sit down (so I could tell them something) and Luke said, "to take a picture first?" Yeah he pretty much knows me!
Sissy got skittles chapstick in her stocking!
The boys got their "deer hunter" in training hats and bebe's for their new guns!
Bebe opening her Christmas platter.
Isn't is adorable.....
Cashlen Little Tikes stable from the 1980's, a time when toys and play were simple, classic and fun.
A very fun game, Neds Head.....all kids love the nasty things that you have to search for and it also comes with 10 blank cards so you can find and add your own gross and silly things. Caden had a great idea to add an eyeball, so when I find one we will get it. He said that his Bebe would know what store to get and eyeball from!
And captain america costume!!
Camen's Ninja castle that he has wanted so badly!
My dress up kid!
Whoa!! Hex bugs that glow in the dark!
Playing with her prized possession, horses! After she got it and set it up all the other kids wanted to play, and with it being brand new she needed her own special time to play with it in a whole separate room......it was a meltdown, but after she got that time she was fine to share again!
Dusten and Pop visiting...
So while Sissy enjoyed her farm away from everyone, we played Neds Head, it was so much fun, the kids had a blast. Mayley however had more fun watching, she did not want to stick her hand in Neds nose or ear to find nasty items, lol!

Opening presents again, we did presents this year in rounds to bring down the chaos level. I think it worked out great!
Pop picked out the granddaughters jewelry boxes, it was a surprise!
Bebe and Mayley
The boys.

Jenn helping Buggie with her new skirt.

Caden is ready to kill a bear?!
HAppy!

Cashlen english riding girl and horse!



In true Lindsay fashion Pop got a note of whats to come, new Uggs slipper shoes! Must not break tradition and have the actual gift on the day of!
We surprised bebe with her very own pair of Uggs shoes too!
Pop surprised her with jewelry that he threw into me to wrap right under her nose one day during a power wrapping session, she never even noticed!
Cash also got the dollhouse and Grandmas cottage from Little Tikes!!! After I make room and clean out the old toys we can bring them home from Pop and Bebes!
Landon woke up and opened with a lot of help from his cousins.
Bebe and Pop dancing in the kitchen to some oldies that Jil got for Pop!

The girls danced too!

Now it's time for movies and popcorn so the adults can play cards, we ended up all spending the night, unexpectedly, how fun it was!!!!
GOOOOOOOD MORNING!!! Matt and Landon were first up followed by Cash and I. I told Cashlen that she had to be quiet cause others were sleeping, she said, "Noooooo, I think I have to play my horses." OK!
Then home we went to set up the ninja castle and relax for a bit.
She calls her corner Horseland. Thanks for hosting Pop and Bebe and for a wonderful Christmas in 2011!
