Be Mine?

Valentine's Day was fun having 3 girls!! So much fun to do hair and jewelry, etc... Katie emailed me a picture of a little girl with a heart hairdo for Valentine's Day...so I tried it out for the girls. It actually turned out pretty cute!

Vday breakfast! (I really really really am not a big-breakfast-makin-momma. I like making dinners...but big breakfasts just aren't my thing. So it was nice to actually make a big breakfast for once.) *Editors Note: Just re-read this and the picture looks like all I made was pancakes, but I really did make a huge breakfast! :oD

Emma is obsessed with balloons...and hers is still tied on to her highchair! She loved it. (And she loved the pink pancakes of course.)

Katie and Libbs came over to decorate heart cookies. Katie brought her 3 million and 42 Valentine sprinkles, and the girls had fun! Libbs pretty much just horked the frosting...it was so funny. Why mess with the cookie, ya know? Just go for the good stuff. I had to put 3 pictures on to show the many 'cheese' faces of Libbs. (There were plenty more than this too.) Cute girls.

Shhhh..we're concentrating.

The latest of Nate's projects. Garage shelves. Ahhh....the garage looks so nice now! Good job Buns!!!! (Yes...those 2 girls are little homeless girls that we let sleep on the garage shelves at night. ;o)

Abby's holding up that whole wall for Nate. (Funny Note: Nate really wasn't drilling. I went to take the picture and he posed so it looked like he was doing something. Pretty believable, eh? ;o)

Well, that's about it for right now. Nate is rotating in 'internal medicine'....sort-of right now. It's about an hour away, so it's not super convenient..but his doc only works 3-4 days a week. So we'll take it for now. Caitlin is still doing great in kindergarten, and Abs is such a good little helper around the house. I don't even need to ask her to do things. She can hear me just shrug and say, "Where did I put your binkie Emma?" and next thing you know Abs has scoured the house and found a binkie for me. Or if I say, "Ew Emma...are you stinky?" Abby is right there with a diaper, the wipes, and the A&D. And she's a smart little cookie too. And Emma is just crawlin' right along. Life is great and we are still lovin' it in Arizona!!!

Seventh File Tag

Had to try this one....

Seventh file, find the seventh picture and post it! Fun.....

I (like Becky) tag anyone who wants to try it. C'mon...it takes 2 seconds and it's fun.

Emma and my Mom at the hotel in Arizona last May when she flew out to help me find a place to live when we moved here! Ahh....and we love it so much here now. Thanks Mom for the help!

Happy Squared!

A whole bunch of happy's are in order!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT GLORIA!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA JO!!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO......US!!!!!!!

(Seven awesome years! I love you forever Buns!!!!)

And last but not least (drumroll please)........

HAPPY CRAWLING DAY EMMA!!!!

YES...Emma learned to CRAWL this morning!!!!!!!!

Of course for any parents this is an awesome occasion, but for us? This is a new step! Caitlin and Abby NEVER crawled. They both learned to walk at about 10 months, but they never even learned to get on their hands and knees. So to have a crawling child is a pretty darn cool thing around here!! Hooray Emma!

Grandpa, Haircuts and Dances

I've tried to get all of these pictures in order, but my barnyard computer keeps freezing...so they are all sorts of out-of-order. Sorry yos.

Ok...so recap...weather is still amazing, Grandpa came to visit, I cut Caitlin's hair, the girls had dance recitals, etc... Here go the pics:

Caitlin after Grandpa did her makeup. Kind-of a Hannah Montana-slash-Rambo mix?

Grandpa playing make-up artist with Abs

And...with Caitlin

Well...this is supposed to be a picture at the beach with Grandpa...but...just the girls. Guess I didn't snap a pic with him there...darn it!

Grandpa Brian and Ems

Caitlin's little dance recital-thing.

Caitlin's school did a little formal dance, so Nate took her. All-too-soon she won't DREAM of going to a school dance with her Dad! In fact, he said that she mostly danced with her little girlfriends anyways. How old ARE you Caitlin? Seriously. :o)

So Abby was all mad that she couldn't go to the dance. RIGHT after they left and I had taken a million pictures, she decided it was time for me to take pictures of HER dancing.

Ok..so Abby stole the camera the other night and told us to do crazy faces. I thought the picture was just too funny to pass up. Bunch of weirdos!Abs and Liberty at the zoo. I picked Liberty up and pointed out the Baboons to her, because they were kind-of hidden. I said, "Look Libbs! There's a monkey back there!" Then she said, "No those are Baboons." Um...yep. They are. Smart little thing.

Abs, Libbs, Kalei, Marley, and Als at the zoo. And a Julie and Maile stlyin' in the background. ;o)

Abs dance recital. And yes..she was in the right place. This was SO FUNNY to watch a bunch of 3 year olds try to perform without their teacher showing them what to do!

Emma doin' what she does best these days. Oh, and by the way..she has 6 teeth now!

Caitlin before the haircut. Normally Sare cuts the girls' hair for me...but there just wasn't enough time when we were in Utah. So I had to resort to choppin' it myself.No turning back now my little shweet-haht.....

The end result. Notice Caitlin's mortified look in the mirror. Sheesh..it doesn't look THAT bad Cait!

See? Looks pretty good I'd say! (Well, she looks cute no matter what!)
