Visiting Papa

Cheering Papa up at the hospital!

Monday Mornings

Winter Zoo Trips

When we go to the zoo on the weekdays in the winter, it seriously feels like we have the entire zoo to ourselves!

Fort Time

Scarlet was up early and ready for Monday insisting on her purple, butterfly raincoat and sparkly, pink shades. I n I heard giggles coming from the basement, then a long period of quiet. Of course, with the silence comes me thinking my walls are now covered in marker. Luckily, I was wrong.. this time. I can see the girls' flashlights in the fort and Adeline tells me, "this is a sister princess sleepover, make sure you knock." 

Saturday Pancakes

These two little girls know how to make the perfect pancakes.

Reading takes a lot out of a dog...

My Anniversary Month!

March is my anniversary month with Arbonne.  I can't believe it has been two years since I started my Arbonne business.  It has been quite a journey and I know this is just the beginning.  Starting my business with Arbonne is one of the best decisions I have ever made.  I am just so grateful to be working alongside such a positive and successful group of people.  Most importantly, I am so thankful to be able to spend each day with our two girls!

 I updated my website and also created a facebook page.  I would love for you to check it out & sign the guest book:  coletteannmartin.myarbonne.com

Growing Up...

Ice Skating Championships

Andy surprised us by taking us to the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

Picnic Time

The unicorn was ready for some icecream.  Adeline informed me that strawberry was the unicorn's favorite.  Scarlet is constantly having me "wrap, wrap" her baby dolls in blankets for her.

Stompeez!

For all that know Adeline well you will appreciate that at dinner the other night she very seriously looked at Andy and I and said, "I have decided what I want for when I turn 4 in March."  Please note that ever since Scarlet's birthday celebration there hasn't been a morning that Adeline doesn't ask if it is her birthday yet.  So she is really doing some serious planning.  So we of course ask what she has decided.  Much to our surprise she responds, "Stompeez- but I for sure want the unicorn one."  Since we didn't know what they were we asked her to explain and she told us they are slippers for your feet that move around.  We immediately googled this and she was exactly right.  I hope you can find as much humor and enjoyment in this as we did.

Happy Birthday to You!

I know Scarlet's wish will come true!  What a precious birthday girl!

Scarlet's Birthday Party!

We celebrated Scarlet's Birthday Saturday afternoon with Grandparents, cousins, and aunts and uncles.  It was a great success and everyone had a fun time.  Scarlet was no stranger to opening presents, I think she had plenty of practice over Christmas.

Scarlet is 2 years old!

Christmas Morning!

We had two very excited little girls Christmas morning.    There were a lot of squeals and dancing when they discovered Santa came to our house.  Andy and I enjoyed a quiet day with our girls which involved a lot of coloring, dolls, playing new games, and even painting finger nails.  All treasured moments.  Among all the activities, we discovered that Adeline is better than both of us combined at Memory.

'Twas the Night Before Christmas

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents and siblings.  It was great to all be together.  As always the cousins had an absolute blast-  they played and played.  We had an extra special visitor this year, Santa!

Wild One!

Adeline playing hair stylist didn't turn out too well for Scarlet.

It's the simple things...

Fingers, Paint, & Trees, Oh My!

Gingerbread House

The girls are celebrating the creation and the destruction of their gingerbread house. 

Adeline's Nativity Play

"Don't be afraid, I have good news for you-  Baby Jesus is Born!"  We heard that line being practiced repeatedly as Adeline was getting ready for her Christmas program.  Adeline was an angel with her classmates in her preschool Nativity play.  It was just beautiful, their songs and performance was absolutely precious!  I don't know how they organized all those little ones, but it was impressive.
