Savannah The Monkey

One little monkey jumping on the bed. She fell off and broke her arm. Momma called the doctor and the doctor said, "Go get a pretty pink cast!"

PS *side note When do babies grow out of sucking on their feet?

Easter Time

We enjoyed incredible weather, parties, peeps (candy and humans) and tons of eggs! Hooray for springtime!

My Tiny Dancers

I swear I don't force my kids to like the things I like! I am excited that they love to dance. Savannah just started her music and movement class and loves to sing and put on "pretty" skirts. Charlotte is taking a ballet/tap class and loves to dance around the house and sometimes in public. I mean, who doesn't get the urge to bust out into an arabesque in line at WinCo?

Trip to the Beach

We spent last weekend at the ocean and it was incredible.  The first day the weather was perfect and the second day it was cold and gray.  Nevertheless, we played on the beach for hours!  The girls collected sea shells, made a sand castle and poked at jelly fish that had washed up on the beach.  The tide was a low as I have ever seen it.  The only flaw of the trip was that we left home without shoes for Savannah (apparently, she had taken them out of the bag I packed for her and dropped them in the bath tub.)  When we got there and realized she had no shoes I got creative and tied a pair of Charlotte's shoes onto her feet with some string.  You can see them in the photo above.  It was a little bit like walking with flippers on.  But she managed.

As a kid we went to this beach every year, so I have so many fond memories there.  I'm so happy that my girls will have great memories of this beautiful place, too.  We can't wait to go again next month!  Then we will try crab fishing and clamming.  

*Thank you J&K for making it possible!

Coolest Music Video Ever!

Snow Trip

After the last snow storm we took a quick trip up the mountain to see the snow.  Looking at the picture you are probably thinking that we went to some beautiful snow park but it was actually just the Taco Bell parking lot in Sly Park.  Charlotte had a great time.  Savannah, on the other hand, didn't want to touch the snow.  It was too cold and messy!

Our Christmas

Our Christmas was very relaxed and enjoyable this year. We have both of our families so close so we were able to spend a lot of time together. There were plenty of parties and delicious foods. Charlotte and Savannah had a nice morning opening their presents from Santa. Charlotte is at the perfect age for Santa. Everything was so magical to her. Thank you to everyone who gave us gifts and helped make or Christmas truly special.

I will add a video of the nativity puppet show and a game of "love the ball"
