Easter Sunday Afternoon.
This is Lyla all dressed up and nowhere to go. She loves to go outside and will bring me her shoes and jacket to have me put them on her. This time she found one of Logan's hats as well. What a cutie. She wasn't feeling well, being very fussy, but as soon as she gets all ready to out, she feels much better! She walked around like this for most of the day. 
Any parent knows that if one child has something, then the other has to have one too. We bought Logan a doll when I was pregnant with Lyla and he is very protective of it. Lyla, naturally, loves dolls and so we had to find her one, too. 
My pretty little dancer. Now, if only cinder-Lyla could find her other shoe, we could go dancing!
Ring around the rosies...in snow boots? oh well!
Logan sees me doing pilates and yoga and likes to join in. He's actually pretty good at some of the moves!
Pretty in pink. It is so hard to get Lyla to be still long enough to take a picture of her. Logan has some Dr. glasses he got for Christmas and Lyla loves to wear them. I have a ton of pictures of the side of Lyla, the back of Lyla, too close to recognize Lyla, Lyla running away. all because she looks so darn cute in the funny glasses and I'm trying to get a picture of her in them! 
Both Logan and Lyla love to read. On this particular day, the decided to sit on the TP and read together. Logan is being VERY patient and good natured as Lyla keeps sticking books in his face to "show" them to him. Last night as we were kneeling for family prayers, Logan was saying the prayer and Lyla started hitting him on the head (she thought it was hilarious) but Logan sat calmly and finished his prayer, not paying any attention to the hitting. It was so sweet. I guess it makes up for all the times he does typical "big brother" things to her.
This is Logan and Lyla's first time playing in the snow this year. And it is Lyla's first real time out in the snow. She enjoyed it, but her snow clothes keep her from being able to move about very well. The snow is several inches deep, but it has melted and been refrozen so it is pretty solid. The kids are so light that they just stay right on top of the snow. 
Logan climbed up the mountain of snow left by the snow plow.
Lyla's hands don't quite come to the ends of her coat sleeves, but she managed to eat the snow any way. she put her sleep don't into a hole of loosened snow and then ate the snow that was on the end of her sleeve when she pulled it out. 
Trying to figure out these boots.
Lyla wanted to be like Logan and climb the mountain, too. They had lots of fun and didn't want to go in for lunch and naptime. 
Logan is very shy at times, and very rambunctious at others. He is soft-hearted and cuddly and such a goof!
The other day when it was snowing, Lyla ran off after I got her out of the bath. She was amazed by the falling snow outside. Logan loves to copy (anyone and anything) and so he decided to join his sister at the window to watch the snow. They were so cute standing there together with their little bare bums I just had to take a picture. I can't imagine what someone would think seeing the picture from the other side of the door! This one's going in the wedding video!!
When ever I get the camera out to take a picture of Lyla, Logan has to make sure he gets a picture too. He will ask me to take a picture of whatever toy he is currently playing with. He's so cute, I just can't NOT take a picture!
Logan loves Lyla and loves to play with her, but is often a little bit rough. He doesn't seem to understand the concept of gentle. Most of the time, just when he passes the "ok" level of roughness, just as I'm about to pull them apart, that is when Lyla is laughing and having the most fun. 
Logan loves to watch Veggie Tales at his Aunt Sharon's house. This particular night, both Aunt Sharon and Daddy fell alseep while Logan was watching the video.
Lyla loves to climb into the rocking chair and rock. This chair was made by her great great grandpa! 
Sillly girl!
Rocking in the chair again. With a great big smile! I love her dimples. When people meet her, the most popular choice of words is "What a doll!"
Radiant in Red. Go UTES!!
Lyla is walking all over, she couldn't wait to walk so she could keep up with her brother and cousins.
Reading books with Daddy. Both the kids love Daddy so much. All they have to do is hear the door open and they scream "Daddy!" and run to him. I've never seen Lyla literally JUMP to her feet before until she heard Daddy come home last night!
Climbing on the bed again!
Those who have tried to dress Lyla know just how fast she can get away from you. Like most little kids, she prefers to be undressed and will escape as fast as she can, giggling and running away as fast as she can. 
Ok, so we're a little behind in getting these pics up! We had a fun party with family for Haloween, Even Sean's Dad dressed up! :O) This pic is to show family resemblance! 
Ashley is a dolly, Sean is a "cereal" killer, Logan is Jack (Jack skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas), and Lyla, our little dragon, is trying to pull her hood off.
Jaleigh, Logan, and Elena. In a candy coma.
Logan turned 3 on September 30th. We had a party fo rhim with family the following Sunday. Logan was so excited for his presents and couldn't believe they were all for him. He was very polite and gave a very enthusiastic "Thank You!!" to everyone.
