Carley's Birthday is Today!!!

Carley here. Today is my first Birthday!! Yay!! I am all caught up to Cooper!! And...it is snowing today on my birthday! This is me in my Birthday/Valentine's dress. I also got another new dress and 4 new shirts and two new hoodies for my birthday. I also got a really cool squirrel toy and me and Cooper really like that. I tell him he can play with it, but it is mine and not his. I also got a cute white bunny toy. Mommy says Daddy will probably bring me home something special too when he comes home from work. We were going to go visit Daddy today at work, but I think we aren't going to now, cause it is snowing. Me and Cooper already went out and chased each other in the snow. I have other big news too...I am going on an airplane again to go on vacation!! I get to go to Texas again to visit our house there and to visit my MiMi. I will also get to see my other brother, Brandt, who is in college there. Me and Cooper are super excited...we like to go to Dripping Springs!! I gotta go...I think Cooper has my new squirrel toy...he knows he only gets to play with that when I SAY SO!!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cooper & Carley's Portrait

Cooper here. Look, Mommy had a picture of me and Carley painted to hang by the front door. I guess she wanted everyone to know who lives here. Wonder why she didn't have her and Daddy painted on there too?? Here's Mommy holding us up by the slate..that's Mommy in the middle and I am the handsome guy on the left. Oh, and Carley's there too.
Me and Carley and Mommy and Daddy went to the airport today to pick up Chase. So, I can't talk no more, I have to go and play with him. I just wanted to show everyone me & Carley's new painting!

Carley the "Pretty Little Girl"

Carley here. Well, it is February now, and February is my special month. My mommy told me it was. She said this is my birthday month and that I am going to be 1 years old on the 20th of February!!! I am so excited, I will be all caught up with Cooper, 'cause he is already one. Mommy says I getting to be such pretty grown-up little girl. My hair is finally growing longer, and we put my hair up into a ponytail nearly everyday. I sit there very good for mommy! Mommy dresses me up in pretty dresses and pink shirts and says what a pretty girl I am!! I forget sometimes though, to be a pretty little girl and I get dirty or play really hard and my bows come out. Yesterday, I had on my pretty pink shirt and I forgot and walked under the car and had a big grease spot on my new shirt. I do try really hard though to remember to be a pretty little girl. My daddy is my special guy!! Mommy says I am a "Daddy's girl" and I guess I am...I just love my daddy so much!! I really want him to be just MY daddy but I try to remember to be a pretty little girl and share him with Cooper, but it is really hard sometimes to share my Daddy!! I am getting a new special dress for Valentine's Day and for my Birthday. I am so excited to see it and try it on. I don't mind wearing my pretty clothes at all, Cooper runs and hides when he sees Mommy has clothes, I guess he doesn't want to be a pretty little girl!
