Keep away!?! Rusty vs. Lacey

Rusty Vs. Lacey

Here you have it. Rusty has taught himself how to play keep away from his sis! Since Lacey has really added some speed to her crawling and learning how to get into everything it has put a damper on Rusty's alone time! So the other day Rust was playing Candy land and the next thing I noticed a bunch of game pieces were taped to the door. When I asked Rusty about it he replied,"Mom, I am trying to play a game and Lacey keeps bothering me!" I started pulling tape off the door and thought this would make a great post. So here is the remainder of it.

Then a couple days ago, I found Iron man hanging from the chair! I didn't bother asking about it. I just had to grin and take a picture.

So Rusty is having a struggle with his sis being in the middle of everything, but he is getting better about it. (I think!)

As long as he feels like he's winning! :)

The race is on!

Well you guessed it. Lacey is crawling!!! It is so cute to see her little body with coordination! Now she can make her way to mommy without making a peep. She is so sweet, I know I have mentioned that before but had to say it again! It's just a matter of time before she is a little terror, but I'm up for the challenge!

Crawling 3 days before she's 8 months.. Way to go!

Still My Baby!

Lacey is a week shy of 8 months and she has a lot of new tricks! She is not quite crawling but she gets were she wants to go. Here is her new stunt the past few days! If you can't tell, her brother adores her and can't leave her alone for one second! The best part is she is such a mamma's girl, so I get to hold her all the time! She is in the stage if I leave the room she will cry until I'm back in her sight! Which is fun to be loved so much until you have to keep up your household duties!! So for now Lacey goes room to room in her mommy's arms!! Can you say SPOILED?!!

Unexpected Friend

Today I was making the boys a hot dog as our dog out back started barking. So as I glanced out the window, I thought their was a cow in our back yard! But I looked again and all I could say is,"Oh my gosh, Oh my gosh!" It was a Big 'Ol Moose! As my brain started to work again I couldn't get the camera fast enough! So this is the picture I got. What an exciting moment! Rusty couldn't figure out why mom was making such a big deal over a cow!

Who says you have to go to Yellowstone to see the Wildlife?! :)

New Years Day

A couple of years ago Grandma Debbie called on New Years and wanted to get together and go sleigh riding. My first thought was that it would just be nice to stay home and finish cleaning up all the Christmas stuff but, that always waits,right? So we bundled up and away we went. I couldn't believe I hesitated about it. It turned out to be such a fun day and since then it has been Chatterton tradition to go Sleigh ridding on New years.

This year was even funner the older the kids get the more fun it is. Bryce is big enough now that he can go down the hill by himself. Rusty pretty much stuck with me. We had a great time having daddy pull us up the hill with the snowmobile, and coming down on the sleigh!! Lacey got to have her afternoon nap in the truck all toasty warm.

Here is a cute picture I snapped of some of the cousins building a snowman. They enjoyed every bit of the snow. We can't forget about the hot chocolate and homemade cinnamon rolls. That kept everyone happy!

After we all felt like a snowman we headed back to grandma's for soup! Yummy.

Can't wait until next year so we can do it again!!!
