Licorice Face

The other day I was out running a couple of errands while the girls were napping and Chris was working on the computer.  When I came home, I found Ellie in red licorice bliss.  Right after she woke up, she probably signed to her Daddy that she was hungry and he grabbed what was closest... a bag of Red Vines in his desk drawer.  Ellie definitely loved her first taste of licorice, which is apparent in the couple of snapshots I got of her.....

 

I got smart and finally put her in her highchair before she got red all over my kitchen.

Bubbly Bathtub Photos

We had some fun taking picture of the girls on Friday (well, Chris took the pictures, I watched over the girls and manned the bubble machine).

I have been wanting to put up some pictures on our very white bathroom walls for some time now and told Chris that maybe he could take some bath pictures of the girls so I could mount them on some wood to pretty up our bathroom.  He decided to do it for me for my Mother's Day gift and I am so excited how they turned out!  It was a fun little project.  Chris made some wooden boxes, we painted them black and then Mod Podged the prints on.  Here are a few pictures from our photo shoot. The first three are the ones that we printed for our bathroom.

 

 

 

This is how our prints look up on the wall!  So good, right?

Mother's Day

I love my little family!  I had a wonderful Mother's Day this year.....Chris got up with the girls in the morning so I could stay in bed, french toast with strawberries for breakfast (in which Kylie proudly helped with), church (complete with the Primary singing), a wonderful dinner, talking with and skyping parents/grandparents, and an evening walk.  Can't get better than that right?  Well, here are two pictures of the girls and I that Chris sneaked in right after we got home from church.

And if you are wondering about Ellie's boo-boo on her forehead....Saturday night we had my siblings over for a BBQ.  While we were all talking outside, Ellie was busy staying upside down (similar to the starting position for a somersault, which I think she has seen Kylie do many times).  I noticed her and started to chuckle, which invited her gaze and a proud smile, but maybe also a loss of concentration on her new skill.  She then lost her balance and tumbled forehead first onto the cement.  Ouch. 

A Sandy Adventure

Usually Chelsa is the one who is good about posting things about our family, but we are pretty much finished with another project and it feels good to be done so I thought I'd do the post...

And the girls seem to love it:  Their new sandbox.

Our new favorite commercial

So every time we see this commercial, we bust up.  After a few weeks of being on the air, we don't stop skipping through the commercials on DVR to watch it, but we still laugh when we catch a glimpse of our new favorite commercial.

It's Not Crazy, It's Sports.
