Little cooks

The girls LOVE to pull chairs up to the counter and help out with whatever is going on in the kitchen. They helped me make bread Sunday afternoon and then they helped Dan make cookies Sunday night. They had a blast doing it!! One of their favorite things to do is to help crack the eggs. After the cookies were made, they had a fun time eating the dough and then the final product. They are getting so big too fast!

We are wishing for spring!!!!

The girls got to pick out their own outfits today and I am thinking that they are thinking that they wish spring was here. Yesterday it was kinda the same thing. They wore skirts and t-shirts. The boots that they are wearing, they want to wear with everything, even if it doesn't go with the outfit. The joys of being a little kid and not caring what you wear!

Happy Birthday Zoey!

Zoey's (Jenna's little girl) Birthday isn't until the 14th, but they had a party on Saturday. My family came up and Doug and Julie came over (it was at our house). The kids had a blast playing with each other as usual and we just had a fun time being with each other. As some of you already know, my family can get pretty crazy--as you can tell with the doggie pile on Morgan.

Lunch

Lunch time is always so exciting at our house. Someone is always doing something. Last Friday the kids had fries and fish sticks and Scarlett decided to feed her hair instead of her mouth! It was pretty disgusting. If you can't tell, there is ketchup and tons of tarter sauce on that cute head.

Artists

We got the girls a small table and chairs for their birthday and they do everything on it. They eat breakfast and sometimes lunch on it. They move it around and try to crawl up on top of things. We had their valentines bears that Dan got them sit in it.


I taped paper onto the whole top of it and let them and Zoey go crazy with the crayons. They had a blast! I even helped color.


It is a purchase that we are definitely getting our moneys worth!

Thank you Ropers!

One day we come home from shopping and find a package sitting at the front door. We get all excited and get into the house to open it. There are two presents in it for the girls' birthdays. The girls love to open presents, so they rip them open and find two books. They get all excited and we read them about 5 times each.
They love books so it was the perfect gift. Thank you so much!

My BEAUTIFUL girls

We finally got the girls' pics taken for their 2nd birthday. They turned out way better than the last time. Can you tell who is who?

People

There are people in this world that will change our lives so much that we won't ever be the same again. There are those who remind us how to act, how to be. There are people who only do small things, but those things were want you needed at that very moment. There are those who will help us along the way and there are those who when they leave us we will never forget!!!

Snacks

Snacks keep me sane around here. After the girls have their 'nap' they aren't the best behaved little girls (especially with Zoey here). To keep them in check for a little bit all I have to do is pull out a snack and it gives me a few minutes to compose myself. Here are a couple pics of snack time...

My Little Ballerinas

Shai got the girls the tutu's. They don't wear them very often, but when they do, they look so cute. I love it when they dance around and are crazy! Too bad Zoey didn't have one that day. I think she was a bit jealous that she didn't get to wear one. Her birthday is coming up. Maybe if she is a good girl she will get one.
