Lucy is THREE!!
My darling baby lucy turned 3 last week, on June 5, 2011. I cant believe its been 3 yrs since she came into our lives. This little girl is my rockstar. She has rockstar blond hair that is all over the place all the time. She loves outlandish outfits with lots of girly color and lots of frills. She will pretty much only wear dresses (the same 3 in constant rotation), much to her mothers dismay. So much for all of the cute baby gap jeans I had planned on her wearing! Leggings and dresses everyday for ms. Lucy.
Lucy is Independant. She is constantly doing things for herself that Dixie will still whine to her mommy about. Just last night, she came to my room at 5:30am with a soaking wet diaper. She says "Mommy, I need a new Diapeee..." and then she held up a brand new diaper for me to put on her. Dixie would have just stayed in her bed and cried.. but not ms. Lucy. Super independant, and I love it. She moves around our kitchen chairs all over the place so she can reach things for herself (crayons, snacks, mommy's forbidden nail polish).
Lucy should have been a horsey. This girl has a love affair with all horsey's big and small. She has a collection of small plastic horse figurines as well as several stuffed horsey's large and small. She is usually carrying around at least one horse with her if not 2 or 3. She plays pretend with them and doesnt like her mommy to interrupt her pretend games... "mommy, im playing"! she will explain with irritation and emphasis.
Lucy is a rag a muffin. The girl cannot stay clean and put together for longer than 10 minutes max after she is dressed. After combing out her rockstar hair, it almost immediately tangles, her clothes get spills (and she wont change because she loves her current dress), and she will never wear shoes or a jacket. She pretty much looks like an orphan in frills most of the time... I chase her around with a hairbrush and shoes all the time..... but she is a girl after her own desires, and getting her hair brushed is not one of them!
Lucy LOVEs eggs, or "eggies" as she calls them. She has a fried egg and chocolate milk almost every day for breakfast, and sometimes for lunch and dinner as well. She also loves chocolate. She is always stealing her mother's chocolate treats right out of her mommy's hands!
Lucy torments her big sister Dixie to no end. She is only 4 lbs less than dixie right now (36lbs), but she is more compact and sturdy, so she will get on top of dixie, wrestle her to the ground, and torment her until mommy or daddy pull her off. Dixie is such a girl and doesnt really know how to fight back!
We had a great birthday party at Build a Bear for ms Lucy. Every kid got to pick out a stuffed animal, get it stuffed and then we had cake in the mall. Super simple, super fun, and Lucy wanted no part of it. She stayed by her presents almost the entire time while the rest of the party enjoyed the fun. Guess she was afraid someone in the mall would steal her presents???
I love this girl. We got 3rd birthday pictures taken, and I will post them as soon as they are ready.

Dixie's 4th Birthday!!
Nevermind that this post is almost 2 months late...
My dear sweet baby Dixie turned 4 on Dec 8, 2013. We had many celebrations for our little girl- her birthday just didnt end!
first off, an amazing first trip to Disneyland the first week of December! It was the BEST vacation our family has ever taken. I feared it would be stressful and LOTS of work for mom and dad... but it was neither. The girls were awesome- we stayed at the park from opening until fireworks everynight. The girls ate it up. Dixie's favorite ride was the little mermaid in California land. Lucy's favorite ride was the horse carosol and Fish carosol. Neither of these were busy rides, so we just went on them over and over again. Dixie also LOVED the beauty and the beast play. The actors were amazing, and she got front row seats in a very small theater. The production quality was amazing. The girls fell dead asleep in their bed each night- no fuss at all. It was all very exciting, and we hope to make it an annual tradition until the girls grow tired of it!
Next we had a family birthday party at grandma and grandpa Werners house on her actual birthday- Dec 8. We are so lucky to live near some of our family.. it makes birthday celebrations really special!
The following day, dixie's birthday was celebrated in her preschool class with cupcakes curtosy of moi. I swear, one of my favorite parts of being a mom is bringing birthday cupcakes to my girls school. It is something that I never got as a child, and I was always so envious of the other children that got this special luxury. I just LOVE making a big deal of my girl's birthdays!
Finally, on Thursday we had a blow our friend party. It was a princess tea party, and we had 14 little girls dressed in their princess best. It was a blast!! All but one child whom was invited showed up. Usually i only get about a 40% attendance rate, so i was expecting more like 6 girls (which would have been much more managable). But, Sean and I made it through. We played lots of games, had a pinata (which by the way is the definition of birthday party for Dixie. If it doesn't have a pinata, its not a real birthday party... just ask her). Dixie got a ton of awesome presents. The present opening part was quite funny. As the guests ranged from 3 to 5, the younger ones did not want to relinquish their gifts to Dixie.... and tears were shed. The grape "tea" in the real princess tea cups were a real hit. We couldn't refill fast enough!
What can i say about my sweet girl..
Dixie is-
intelligent, articulate, sweet, nice, a great friend, very social and charming. She gets "love" notes sent home by her preschool teachers frequently. I went to parent teacher interviews a couple of weeks ago, and her teachers had only praise. They said she was the perfect student. She always answers questions, asks thoughtful questions, and is a great little helper during clean up time and is friends with everyone.
I just love her. She is growing so tall with the most beautiful set of long legs you've ever seen. She gets these from Grandma Werner, not me. She picks our her own outfits each morning, and does a great job of matching colors. She is usually monochromatic (all purple, or all pink), because they "match"!
She is a budding artist. She colors me pictures daily... mermaids, our family, unicorns, panda bears.. whatever her little imagination can think up, she puts it to paper. I need to keep a little binder with her best pieces. They really are so adorable! I throw far too many away... what to do with kid art?
She is an amazing big sister to Lucy. Lucy is a wild little rascal and is always running away and getting herself into trouble. Dixie is always quick to get me so i can "Save" lucy. She is always very worried when Lucy runs away. Its so endearing. Sister love. She is not however ready to share her room with Lucy yet....
Dixie Do Da.. .you own my heart, and i get lost in your big green eyes and curly hair. I love you baby girl!
