Visitors

Grandpa Jim and Wendy came for a visit yesterday. Alex and Abby love them. Grandpa Jim made a yummy dinner and Wendy played and played with the girls. Abby also had her first ear of corn on the cob and she loved it.

Cutie Patooties

Bubble Blowing Contest

It seems like everytime I turn around Alex is saying--- I win. She makes a contest out of everything and these bubbles were no exception.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends and family who are mothers.
I am very blessed this year to have not one but two beautiful daughters to share this day. They are part of my heart and my soul and I love them with everything I am. I have so many hopes and dreams for them and one dream is that they grow up , have beautiful babies and share this wonderful experience called motherhood. I love you, my sweet beautiful girls.

Playdate #2 for the week.

Our playgroup had a little zoo outing today. I think we had a total of 15 kids. It was crazy. And to try to get a group photo with 13 toddlers. Whew-- this is what I came up with. There were a few mamarazzi so maybe they got some better shots than me. They were is constant motion. Their expressions are so funny.
So here are:

Chloe
Ainsley
Annie
Molly

Sisters

It is so nice to see my girls getting along. Alex is doing much better in the jealosy department. She still has moments but she seems to have resigned herself to the fact that Abby is not going away. I just put them to bed-- together-- they have both been wanting it--- and I haven't heard a peep since I put them down. I don't know-- should I check on them. The monitor is on but there is no sound. Neither of them had a nap today so I know they are exhausted. Keep your fingers crossed for a peaceful night.

Dancing at L*wes

Do you think the burly manly men at L*wes can appreciate 2 toddlers dancing in the aisles?

Hair cuts

We took Alex to get her hair cut yesterday. It needed it. Poor thing, it was so ratty tatty on the ends. They took 2 inches off and she loves it.





















Of course, Squirt (that is what I call her) wanted her hair cut too so we had them trim hers up and angle it a little in the back. She loved getting her hair cut. She sat up there like she gets it done every day.





















Here they are all finished with their haircuts and enjoying balloons and suckers.

Play Group Fun

We have an awesome playgroup that we have fun with. Here are some cute pictures of Abby's first time meeting everyone. I think she fit right in.


Mia and Alex


















We were moving quick to get them all up there and capture this mamarazzi moment. It is hard work chasing toddlers around waiting for just the right smile or just the perfect pose. It is hard with one let alone 6. But I think it turned out pretty darn good.













Mia, Abby, and Gracyn

















Now, don't cha wonder what these two were giggling about?
