Hello? Hellll-OOOOO?

So. . . yes, we are still alive. We have just been in hibernation, as it is apparently still winter here in Idaho. Fortunately this past week it has warmed up a few degrees and the snow has turned to rain and we are slowly starting to emerge. I'll try to get some pictures of something interesting in the next few days to share.

Little Miss. . . Chatterbox?

Our Little Miss Agreeable, who never said anything besides 'Uh-huh,' has now decided it is in her best interest to start saying a few more words. All of the sudden she is spitting out several new words each day. Words like olives and oval and walk and jump.




Whew!
We were starting to be a little worried. She is going on two, after all.

She is getting so big!

We love our little munchkin!

Spring Break

Wow! What a fabulous vacation we had. Now I just need a vacation from my vacation. You know how vacations can be with little ones. . . they don't generally include relaxation. But we had plenty of fun and it was WARM!!! Hallelujah! I am hoping we brought a little of the warm weather back with us.

Anybody heard about the Give a Day, Get a Disney Day? Ummm, can I just say-- AWESOME! You can look online for a service project in your area, serve for a day and get a free ticket to Disneyland! Yes, really FREE! Although, I just checked today and it looks like we did ours in the nick of time-- sadly, it has ended. But the good news is that 1 million people donated their time for a day in their community. That, too, is awesome.

So, after a few days in warm, sunny Vegas with our best friends, we packed back up in the car and drove the 4+ hours to LA. Grandma and Aunt Lacey also came with us. So much fun! My girls were all first-times. And age 5 and 6 are the perfect age for Disneyland. Absolutely magical!

We also hit the beach-- another first time. Everyone loved, loved, loved it!

Hope your Spring Break was just as fun!

Happy Tax Refund Day!

Yay! One my very favorite parts of having kids is all the tax money we get back! Okay, so I am kidding- but it is a nice little perk ;0).

Here is one of the things we used our refund for:

Finally. . . a place to sit down. Believe it or not, we have not had any furniture for the entire year that we have been here in Twin. Crazy!

We also got a king sized bed! Wahoo!

Hope your tax refund day was as much fun as ours!

Picture Time!

I snapped a few pics of the girlies last weekend and thought I would share. My photography skills seem to be improving slightly. ;0)

Pop on over to my sewing blog and enter my giveaway for one of these fun skirts.

Okay, that's all. Have a happy Friday!

Happy Birthday, Hubby!

We love you so much! Thank you for all that you do for us.

Love, Your Girls

Christmas

Ummm, yes, I do know that it is the middle of January. But here it is. Better late than never, right?

My children are lucky enough to have THREE Santas in their life-- Grandma and Grandpa May, Grandma and Grandpa Payzant, and of course, the real one. ;0) And boy, my girls must have been REALLY good this year because they scored!

The big gift was a cute kitchen that Grandpa May added to by making a refrigerator. So fun! The girls love it (of course!).

Grandma and Grandpa Payzant got the girlies clothing to go sledding and play in the snow with (among MANY other things!). I think we used most of it the very next day!

There were so many other fun gifts! We love all of them! Thank you all so much! Here is the thank you note the girls made for all of you:

(Kira told me that they didn't have a gray marker, so Grandpa's hair just had to be blue. But hey, it's better than pink, right Brooke?)
