Backwards

Koli crawls backwards. She runs into walls, couches, and tile (getting sad when she realizes she can't lay her head down for a little break because the tile is too cold on her face), scooting herself under tables, highchairs, and cribs. After she woke up in the morning we were playing in her room and she scooted herself backward under her crib. It was so cute to watch. Nog came in to see her but couldn't find her till he heard a little voice talking from under her bed. Here's the little bug in action.

For Sale

We had a Pearce family yard sale today, on the hottest day this year so far. It hit 100 degrees and we were outside all day! It was a long and HOT day but we did have a good time and made a few extra bills to put in our wallets, which we were happy with. :)
Plus Koli got to play in our neighbors slip in slide to cool off, she loved it!

Don't Judge........

One night, we were wondering what to do together. We decided we wanted to watch a movie and I choose Serendipity. I got it forever ago for a birthday or Christmas or something like that and I hadn't seen it forever and was DYING to watch it. Nog on the other hand said he would rather die than to watch that movie with me, dramatically . So, after much deliberation he agreed that he would watch this movie with me if (on only one condition) I promised to watch ALL of the Star Wars movies? Um Hello people is that fair?! NO way! But because I was desperate and was wishfully thinking, how wonderful it would be if only Rachel lived in the same state as me she would come over and we would enjoy our lovely movie together that we had watched so many times before, I wouldn't be in this awful situation.... so, I sadly agreed. I was dreading my decision from the moment I said yes and was hoping he would forget, but no not even a little bit. He reminded me every day how he was so excited that I was going to watch them all with him, especially since I hadn't even seen one of the movies before. Long story short, we watched the first, I was having a horrid attitude. The second, I was not going to admit it yet but, I was kind of enjoying myself. The third, I was really starting to like it and was excited to see what would happen next. By the last movie I was in true love and was sad that it would all be over. Who ever would have thunk it? I am not one to like movies like this but I sure did. And what have I learned from this experience you ask? Don't judge a movie by it's cover, no matter how old and weird you might think it may be, because it just might be the best thing ever, and you just missed out because you were stubborn like me.
The end.

Too much free time

This is what happens when I'm making diner and Nog's watching Koli.
You may notice, Nog likes to dress her up in a burp cloth.
No more, no less.

 "Koli, you stay here and eat this. I'll be back in a minute."
"Okay Dad."
~~~
Such a good girl

Canning

Today we all went down to the cannery and canned some food! We really built up our year supply today and I am sooo excited about it. Koli was too, she was so interested in what everyone was doing. She was my little helper.
Are we so pretty in our fancy hair nets or what?! :)

Macyn is 1




Just a few days ago Koli's cousin Macyn turned 1! I can't believe it! Tam made it so special and so cute for her. We all had so much fun!
" Hi everyone! Thanks for coming"


Eating her birthday cupcake.

Koli was hanging out in the moby wrap with Mads, she was loving it!

 Watching Macyn open presents, but wanted to make sure Dad wasn't going to go anywhere.
 LOVE!!!
 Watermelon balloon's. It's true, no matter what age we are balloon's just make us sooo happy.

What do you do when you're bored?

Today while Koli was sleeping I got bored and started trying on some clothes. Then I came across these pants that I haven't worn in forever. I thought why don't I ever wear these? They're so cute.
 So I put them on and quickly realized why I don't ever wear them. They are major high-waters. So, today I made them into shorts. Now I have shorts for summer woohoo!!  

I spiked up Koli's hair today. Look how long it's getting. We even tried out her first bow, what do you think? ha. So pretty. :)

Getting ready to crawl, she gets into this position all by herself now, and then moves herself backwards instead.

Brett and Koli

Our friends Keith and Courtney have a little babe just one month younger than Koli. Brett is such a cute little boy! I got to watch him today for a couple hours. Koli LOVED to have another little friend around. When he would smile so would she, and when he cried so did she, it was so cute when she saw him sad she felt sad too. Brett fell asleep in Koli's crib. Poor guy everything around him was pink but he didn't seem to mind though. He fell asleep sucking his thumb, so cute!! After I put him down, she started getting tired too, she will NOT sleep anywhere but her crib so I thought well, I guess I'll lay her in here too and see if she will sleep next to him and not wake eachother up. She did, and they slept side my side. I didn't get a picture of them sleeping but I did get pictures of them when they woke up.
~ ~ ~
Yes, I took a billion pictures, I couldn't help it.

Brett - "Wow, Koli look at my fingers."
 haha this picture is awesome
 Brett - "I'm getting sleepy."
 Koli - "Hey! I know! I Know! Lets go take a nap."
 After they woke up...
Koli -"Hey, what are you doing here?"
 "Woohoo, a buddy to play with!"
Brett - "I don't know about this."

Funny Girl

I think today has been to funnest day that we have ever had with our little Kollins.
Everything about today has been just perfect, her fun personality is really starting to come out and I seriously cannot get enough of her. I'm so in love! This morning we took a picture of her on her blanket Grandma Mia made her. We took a picture of her on it the day she was born too. Look at this difference, I can't believe how much she has changed she doesn't even look like the same baby.

This here is a video of an annoying sound Koli thought was pretty dang funny. I would stop for a little then do it again and she would just laugh and laugh for like 5 minutes staight.
The video was really long but my noises got too annoying so I made it shorter haha. :)
Such a doll!

Easter is a comin....

Easter is in 2 days I'm so excited! Allie came over and we made the coolest Easter eggs ever. Guess what we made them with???...
Ties!
How cool is that? They turned out awesome.
~ ~ ~
First you, get ties you want (they have to be silk) it doesn't have to be a tie, they just have the best patterns.
Then you cut them up by taking the inside out and using only the silk
Then you lay it out and wrap your raw egg in the tie a couple of times making sure the egg is on the silky part of the tie, and that the egg is covered by all the fabric.
 We used a hair rubber band to tie it, like so.
You put your raw egg in a pan with water and add some white vinegar in it after you've added the eggs. Probably about 1/2 to 1 cup I'm guess is what we used.
Once it comes to a boil turn it on Medium/Low heat for about 25 minutes
Take them out unwrap them and.....
Walla!! You've got the pattern of a tie.
Pretty cool A?! Now you have hard boiled Easter eggs to eat on Easter.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Here are some dang cute pictures of Koli hanging out on Grandmas lap for a while. She was loving getting her back scratched, it's her favorite thing ever.

Sewing Day

Allie and I had a pretty awesome sewing day yesterday. We sewed ALL day I just loved it.
Here's what we made.

 She came over with this dress already done. :)
Then we made 3 others....

This is my very FIRST button hole! Yay for me.

First dress done!

 Dress #2
Dress #3

Poor Koli, I think she felt a little neglected all day so after we were done making the dresses I played with her all night long she loved that part best!

Love those cutie little legs!
