Fun Fun Fun for everyone!

Sometimes we go to this gymnastics place where they have open gym for kids under 5 to just play...Emrie loves jumping off the tramp into the foam pit, so we spend most of our time there...I have learned to only go with both girls if Chad comes, cause it's really really tiring by myself and a little crazy.














Molly's absolute favorite place in the house is Emrie's closet. Doesn't matter how many times I close it, it is always opened and she is in with all the shoes...I know, sucking on shoes, Yuck!



My latest sewing projects...(Actually!!! I just finished both girls Easter dresses Today!!--but I'm not putting them in them till Easter, so have to wait for those)



I don't think I'll ever be able to get a picture again of Emrie where she is not trying to do some kind of ballerina pose.



And I used this pair of overalls (couldn't talk myself into wearing them again :D ) and made Emrie a little jean skirt. And I only used one leg...what to do with the rest?







Last but not least this last weekend we got hit with lots and lots of snow. Church actually got canceled. Monday I tried to go out sledding but couldn't bring myself to tromp thigh deep in new snow, so we went Tuesday, all of us and it was SOOO fun. I forgot how fun sledding was. We were hauling down the hill.



Isn't she just squeezable???!!!!




Here you can see that fresh snow out there...up to Emries shoulders!

Sring Break in New Mexico

For Spring Break this last week we went and visited my sister Rochelle's family in New Mexico. Her 2 little boys are the same age as my 2 little girls, so it was nice for the kids to be able to play. We had a lot of fun...minus the flu bug we brought with us, sorry Shel! We did take the kids to the zoo one day which was really neat.




This Peacock walking around and Emrie almost touched it she was so close to it.





The elephants were really cool. They got in the water and swam (2 adults and the baby) and they played in the water forever and when they got out they used their trunks to fling a bunch of dirt on themselves. It was pretty funny.

Molly happy...which was pretty rare. She is teething for the first time..her 2 bottom teeth and she is a very unhappy little girl. Crying and nursing the day away. I sure hope it's not like this for all her teeth or I might lose my mind!

We also went to the aquarium, which was very neat.





I told Emrie, see...even fish can't lie or their noses grow, just like pinocchio. She had no idea what I was talking about, but I thought this fish was pretty funny.



Rochelle and lincoln! So cute!

And of course there was the tank with all the sharks. Creepy!

Spring Break was fun. We got home just in time for the snow storm this weekend. And man there is A LOT of snow out there...church was canceled and class for Chad tomorrow has been canceled. Maybe we can make it out sledding tomorrow :D Anyone up for some sledding?
