Where have you been?

You may be asking where I've been for the past 6 months.  Well... We've been busy!  Babies, working, new house (always, always busy).

 Christmas this year was so much fun!  You know what's better than 1 baby being excited about Santa?  2 babies that can't get enough of him.  

This was as close as JuicyJuice would get but RooBear was in love!

Here's my personal favorite!

One day while riding in the car with my husband, I told him that I'd always dreamed of having a tire swing in the backyard for my kids to play on.  I was shocked when he came home with a tire he found on the side of the road and a chain he picked up from Lowe's.  Hmm... Sometimes he does listen :)

 

 JuicyJuice started gymnastics.  She's very good.  She's probably the youngest in her class (notice I didn't say smallest :)) and she hangs with the big kids.  Still getting used to this fearless child- not like my shy and quiet other daughter.

We had a little family dinner for RooBear's birthday.  Love having our whole family together. I should have got a group shot but... ya know...

As soon as RooBear turned 4 I went and we got that long hair chopped off!  She loves it!  So much cuter and we don't have to worry about a pony tail all the time. 

RooBear learned how to ride her bike and JuicyJuice is so busy trying to keep up.  LOL!

 

The weather got unseasonably warm pretty quickly this year- I filled up the baby pool and let them swim away!!

 RooBear's dance recital is right around the corner so I had her pose for some pictures on the front porch.  Love this little girl.  This is what 4 years old looks like :)

We hit up the strawberry patch last week so I certainly can't leave those shots out!  The girls had so much fun.  My sweet little JuicyJuice couldn't stop eating long enough to do any actual picking.  She's so independent now.  What in the world am I going to do with her?

 

That, in a nut shell, is what's been going on with our little family.  Sorry to my family for not keeping up like I should.  I'll do better from here on out- I promise.

Favorite Game!

This game is called Ready Set Go!  LOL  Daddy is the best =)

A Perfect Day With My Sweet Little Family

So, Mr Dixon and I let the girls skip school today and we took them to our favorite little animal rescue getaway.  This is one of our favorite places and this was the absolute best day for it.  The weather was wonderful and we had the place all to ourselves.  The four of us had such a great time.  It was such a perfect day.

The bears sit up like this so they can catch the food in their mouths!  They're so funny- if it falls on the ground they just leave it.  They know there will always be more on the way.

Jessie did not like them going through her bag and trying to get her snacks!

Juicy was getting the shake down from these little goats.  LOL.

Our very own stalkarazzi!  They followed us the entire time ;)

I was feeding another animal and he tapped me on the arm to let me know he was hungry, too.

Her favorite part- this little bunny snuck out of the ranch while someone was walking in the gate.  He sat with RooBear for about 20 minutes while she fed him and loved him.

 
Here's one of Mama and her favorite deer!
