Cell Phone Pictures..... 2

Another Cell Phone Pictures Blog Update.

I am amazed to look at all these picture and realize 

how much the kids have grown in ONE year.  

Pink Bean playing shoe store

 Pink Bean's has replaced all her books on her shelf with all her animals.  To say that pink bean likes animals is an understatement.  She actually plays with them ALL everyday.  

 Pink Bean thought she needed some more necklaces after she got all of these on... you could still see her shirt.

 Green Bean & Pink Bean - LAST week - we took them out for a walk in the wagon since it was so incredibly nice outside. 

 Green Bean in the car seat, Pink Bean & Emma 

playing at play date over the summer. 

 Can you find GREEN BEAN in this picture? 

When he was little I would lay him in Pink Beans house and let her talk to him for like an hour.  Don't worry I never left him there alone!  But to this day - they love to play house (poor Green Bean)

 Pink Bean LOVES when daddy comes home from work. 

 Pink Bean having a tea party out on the front porch this fall.

 Green Bean sleeping as a baby... where does time go?

 Pink Bean introducing Green Bean to some of her animals.  Yes - they all have names! (Stacy - do you see the kitty in these picture that you got her.... she carries it everywhere)  NO!  We don't need a real one on our porch!  ;o)

  Love this picture of Pink Bean, Scarlett & Willow playing outside at the Butlers new house this summer.

 Pink Bean and Grady having snack time... always a favorite thing that Grady LOVES to do!

Yes - he knows the pantry

 At the Baltics - Cooper was showing Willow and Pink Bean how to fix it like pa-pa does!  Cooper had just got back from helping pa-pa work.  So he knew all the tricks to teach the girls! 

 This summer - I bought I swimming pool and filled it with ball (not water) for the kids to play in.  It is now in the basement... but the kids love it and the best investment ever!

Sadly... I have like 5 more cell phone pictures updates.... I guess it has been almost 18 months since I have cleared the pictures off my cell phone.  Since I print scrap book from the blogging that I do for the kids... I have/get to add all these updates in as well.  Thanks for following along!  

Cell Phone Pictures.... 1

Every once in a great while... I get motivated to clear all the pictures off my phone.  Here are a few of my favorite pictures...

Back in the day when I had 2 Binky Babies. 

I don't even remember this pictures.  But I enjoy it now.

Pink Beans 1st time at the dentist.  

She was thrilled to say the least!

Pink Bean - wishing she was at the beach 

Evie & Pink Bean - When daddy was in Mexico for 3 weeks - we stopped by the Davidovics and enjoyed dinner out on the patio.  

Pink Bean was playing at the Butler girls house - they were upstairs playing and very quite.  They came down with beautiful clown lips that artist Scarlett did for them.  It was beautiful!

I don't have tinted windows - so Pink Bean always makes sure to have sun glasses on when we leave the house.

Pink Bean loves to hold Green Bean.  

Here is some of his first Smiles!

Pink Bean & Grady shopping at Sam's Club

Green Bean is in the back.  He had to join in on the sun-glass fun!

Birthday Party & SNOW

Since this was the first big snow of the year - we had to let the kids out the back door to eat some snow at Pa-pa house.   Here is pink bean... She said she couldn't catch any snow!

 Here are the birthday kids: Scarlett, Grady & Maddie.  

This was the end of our Christmas Celebrations and family time together.  We are so thankful for the time we got to spend together with family, the blessing of family and to watch our kids go through the sessions of life.  Our God is truly AMAZING!

Christmas @ Papa & Grandma Bonnie's on Wednesday

Warning: Long post - with lots of pictures :o)

We started our Christmas Early on Wednesday morning since Uncle Curt had to drive to Cleveland for work and the Baltics were leaving for Florida.  We weren't planning on a snow storm.  So we quickly opened presents, eat lunch, had a birthday party, opened birthday gift and then relaxed the rest of the day at Pa-pa & Grandma Bonnies - after Uncle Curt and Baltics were gone.

Here is the whole gang opening gifts.

Ryder, Cooper, Eli & Tagen.

 Mr. Green Bean - one of the few pictures I got of him over Christmas.

 The Butler Familiy

 Mr. Walter

 Maddie helping Grady open his present.

 Willow and her doll house.

 Pink Bean - who doesn't look excited in any of her pictures, but was thrilled to get a camera! 

 Reese with a Drum set.  Last year she got a Karaoke machine.  So I would have to say the the Ingold house has to be a jammin place.  She was also thrilled for her drums!  But don't worry - her daddy had the drums open and put together in no time - and I think he was just as thrilled!  

 Pink Bean got a Playmobil school bus from Scarlett for Christmas.

 Tagen got a School Printed shirt from Adam for Christmas.

 Adam was stunned that he actually got the i-pod he was begging for, from his Mom & Grandma Bonnie.  He was shocked - he thought it was barn fencing - since that is what the box was. 

 It's sad the the girls are getting so big!  They used to be excited over toys and now they are thrilled for clothes.  Molly and Megan both got a pair of "Miss Me" Jeans.  It was fun to see all the girls get excited over clothes.  Made me think of the good old days with IOU clothing.  Does anyone remember that line of clothing?

 For those who don't know what Miss Me jeans are.  They are jeans with gems on the back pockets.  *I had no clue what miss me jeans were.  Man I am behind times!!!

 I love the expression of Tori, Megs & Amy in this picture.

 The girls also got an Under Armour sweat shirts from Aunt Jill and Aunt Amy.

All the kids are at such a fun age.  It is amazing how fast time goes and how many kids seem to be added to the family each year.  We have teenagers to 2 month old.  Never a dull moment.
