Static Electricity

Don't you just love how your hair gets when you jump on a trampoline. This was when we went home to Canada in Oct. She loved that her hair was going all over the place Supper Hair

She thought that it was so funny she kept wanting to make it bigger.

Trying to get it to stand up higher.

Just having fun on the trampoline. We had a hard time getting her off of here.

Ice and Snow

Well the last couple of days have been cold here. We have had freezing rain which then turned into snow over night. Mercedes was so happy to see it. These are a couple pics that I took. This one of the branches in our front yard. I think that it looks really cool.

Another Branch

Here is all of the ice on the power lines

And here is the pitiful snow. Can you believe that school was cancelled for this.

So sweet

I always love it when the kids are asleep. They look so peaceful and it is when I usually get some peace and quiet. These are when Mercedes was sleeping.

Rocker Mercedes

So for christmas mercedes got a gift card to toys r us and she wanted a guitar. She has been talking about guitars for a long time now. Well when we got it home she was like look mom I'm a rocker.

Here she is with her with her microphone singing.

Christmas Number 2

Well this is our second Christmas and it was in Maryland with Geoff's family

This is Mercedes Christmas Eve. She loved to just sit and watch the Christmas tree. We were all running around getting ready to go to Geoff's Aunt and Uncles house and this is where I found Mercedes.

The Tree before we opened any of the gifts.

Mercedes and Little Geoff opening there stocking. Little Geoff thought that it was great that when he out his hand in there he would get stuff out after.

Geoff with his new ball. He really loves Balls and anything that looks like one. He loves to throw them. He even likes to throw oranges.

Geoff playing with his new Tomas the Train Set. Mercedes and Geoff got this for Christmas and it was a big hit. They loved playing with it.

Tri Bycicle

Grandma and Grandpa Redford got Mercedes a tricycle for Christmas and she was so excited. She kept calling it a bicycle and we were trying to explain to her that it was a tricycle because it had 3 wheels so then she started calling it a tri bycicle. We thought that that was cute. She was a little nervous at first but now she loves it. It is probably the prettiest tricycle that I have ever seen.

This was when she first got on it. She was not quite sure about it.

Ballerina

Mercedes loves to dance and for her birthday she got a ballerina costume and she loves it.
She is modeling her costume off.

Dancing

Doing the lift of the leg. She told me that this is part of dancing

She loves to spin and watch her tutu spin

Spinning again

Christmas Number 1

This year the kids were very spoiled they got 2 Christmas's we had one at our house before Geoff left and then we had one at Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's house. Mercedes was a little confused she kept asking if everyday was Christmas. I had to try and explain it to her.

Here is the tree with all of the presents.

Opening their stockings. We could have stopped there and they would have been just happy.

Geoff concentrating very much on what is in his stocking

Mercedes opening a present. She loved opening them.

Geoff with his very favorite present. Marzipan.

This is Mercedes and Little Geoff playing in the tent that Mercedes got for Christmas. This was a last minute buy the day before and it was probally the most favorite. She even had a nap in it that day. She really enjoyed playing in it.

So Tired

There have been many times when mercedes is so tired that she just falls asleep in many different places. I finnaly remembered to take some pics before I put her to bed. This was when she was in time out and she just could not take it anymore and fell asleep.

Here is another shot of that.

This was at Grandma Anderson's she had told me that she wanted to watch her show in the kitchen so I put it on and then it all of a sudden got really quiet and this is where I found her

Just another view of her sleeping. There are many more times when she has just fell asleep. I think that we all have pics of ourselves sleeping somewhere weird.

Mercedes Birthday

I know this is a little late but I have been a little busy. This was on mercedes birthday which was the 5th of December She had a Princess cake with the army men taking them hostage.

This is when we were singing to her she loves to sing happy birthday and she thought that it was great that we were singing to her.
