Scarlett's First Birthday` and misc

9.21.10

So I'm a bad blogger...sue me. It's been a while, folks! Much has happened! So far this year, Scarlett has grown like a weed and time is flying by! The Richards family went on vacation to Port Aransas in South Texas this summer and had a blast at the beach and pool.




Scarlett is almost one year old now! She progressed quickly from crawling to walking and has four teeth and a few more on the way! She babbles and sings all the time. She loves, loves, loves Chloe Jane! She has been fighting off a virus lately, but even that doesn't stop her from eating! Peas and Nana's mashed potatoes are her favorites! Here are some pics of her birthday party this past weekend (she really wasn't feeling well at all, poor thing):













Chloe Jane is four years old now and loving her new class at school. This summer she had her first big dance recital and did really well (she was the best one, of course)! We are now in gymnastics class. Chloe loves getting manicures and pedicures with Mommy!

Christmas 2009

Better late than never, right? The Richards family had a wonderful Christmas this year! Chloe's favorite presents were her Tag reader, playhouse, scooter, digital camera and Handy Manny Repair shop! What a haul! She kept saying how good she must've been all year to get so many presents! Truly, her favorite presents were the balloons and balloon pump Santa left in her stocking. I'll remember that the next time I'm tempted to make a major purchase (like a playhouse). :) Ain't that always the way??? Scarlett's favorite gifts included her Nightlight Turtle, a CD player to play her lullaby music at night and a light up musical toy for the car. We loved having Nana and Papa and Aunt Sherry and Kristy here for the holidays! We even got a special visit from Grandad, Aunt Beth, Drew, Ryan and Madison just before Christmas. What a treat! Chloe LOVES her cousins!

Chloe and Daddy baking with her new Princess Oven that bakes with ice. How do you bake with ice, you ask? You don't. It is DISGUSTING. Only a three year old could eat that stuff. But we just have to wait until she is a little older for the Easy Bake. Tick, tock. Tick, tock.


Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas as well. We are looking so forward to what the new year will bring! Bring on 2010!
