My babies have babies

Well, not really. These strollers were supposed to be for their birthdays but yesterday I ended up giving them to them. I am weak- what can I say?

They have had the dolls for almost a year and rarely pay attention to them but since they got the strollers the dolls ( and strollers ) can't leave their site. As evidenced in the above pic. They even had to go in the car with us tonight.

I still want to catch up. I have some really good pictures I have been meaning to post but have been busy. I hope to catch up soon.

Until then -thanks for looking!!

Olivia's first "hairstyle"

Olivia loves to get into the bathroom and get into whatever she can get her hands on. This day she found my hair sculpting goop and created this style. She came out to show me and was quite proud of her handiwork. Maybe she will be hairstylist?? 

New Chairs!

Monkeying around.
Makenna being a ham.

The girls got new chairs from my parents. They were for Christmas but since they ended up flying so weren't able to bring them then. My cousin works at a store in Idaho Falls that is an outlet and they had the Pottery Barn Kids chairs in for awhile. I was so glad to find a chair for them that was washable. The girls love them.  Thanks mom and dad.

Easter

After Church we tried to get the girls to pose for pictures. Olivia was all smiles.

Makenna, not so much..
She would only pose w/ me and that was a challenge.
I love this picture.  A meeting of the minds.
And she finally wanted to pose for a picture- hours later. Truthfully, she was just trying to get out of getting in the car BUt she let me take tons of pictures while she did it.

Easter Egg Hunt

These are from the Easter Egg hunt our church had. They started with making the cute necklaces they are wearing. Then the hunt. Olivia was excited about picking up eggs. Makenna took a minute to figure it out. Our primary is pretty small right now. There were maybe 15 kids so there were plenty of eggs for everyone.

I can't get over how big they looked that day. They are losing that baby look.

Feeding Goats

The first Sunday of the month was Conference. While I enjoyed listening to the words of the church leaders (in between the chaos  of my two daughters), Makenna and Olivia weren't that into it and so once the last session ended ( which I mostly enjoyed in peace- yay naptime) I took them to feed the goats. SUndays get long since Ken is at work and we don't have family to visit. The girls ( mom included ) get restless. So this was our little adventure.

Makenna was quite brave and would walk right up to the goats and hand them the carrots- brought from home ( shhh- don't tell on me- I didn't buy the farmer market ones).

But she was quick to back away once the goat took it.
This was as close as Olivia wanted to be at first.
She later warmed up to putting the carrot in the tube.

And I call this the- "I am not going to smile and you can't make me "- picture.

First Ponies!!

After much wrestling ( and ok some bribing) the girls let me put pony tails in their hair. They left them in for a few hours. It was a small victory in the battle of the hair. With 2 girls it really is just starting. Oh boy!
