Girly Girls

We practice taking pictures so she will not blink for the camera (she has a tendency to close her eyes) It ususally takes 3 or 4 times to get it right.

see?

She LOVES her Froggy. They are so sweet when they are sleeping.

My Valentine's day was wonderful. Adam got 9 roses for the 9 years we have been married and two of them were white (representing our two little angels)

They like to try on our coats.

Rocking out to the Glee Prom episode! (Best songs in this episode)

This picture happened a while back....it was a fun day for C.

C wanted to take pictures of me and Sav one day after school. It was funny.

We need to get this girl into dance classes!

She loves high heels......scary.

Johnson kiddos came to visit for my recital. It was great!

Christmas 2011

Yes....these pictures are late.
We had a wonderful Christmas as a family. Santa ate his cookies and brought some presents.

Sav wanted to wear her new dress-up dress to church..along with her brand new heels.

We left Christmas day for Grandma & Grandpa's house. The girls had requested some towels with princesses on them. Grandma made that happen quick and they were so thrilled. They sure are spoiled by Grandma.

The weather was so much nicer up in the Black Hills (it usually is) so we enjoyed our sunsets outside.

We shopped until we dropped.

The girls met their brand new baby cousin, Camrie. What a sweet thang!!!

It was good to be with family. We loved our holiday break.

Growing Up

Just for documentation purposes (because I print this blog out into scrapbooks) we had a pretty big break through last month. Our baby girl took the liberty of switching from her diaper to big girl underwear. She has had no accidents so far and she loves being a big girl just like her sister. How amazing is that? Who has ever heard of a child potty training themselves? She just decided one day and that was that. I am so grateful for that change and realize that I got really lucky this time around. :) Way to go Savvy-kins!!

Snow Days. Winter 2011-2012

They love to roll down this hill. :)

Pals.

Angels.



Thanks for the fun in the snow Mom.

December Festivities

I was invited to attend a really neat workshop the other day. This San Diego, California temple picture cost me a fraction of the price they charge for them on Deseretbook.com and I put it together myself! I learned a lot that day and was grateful for the experience. Also, Adam and I just had our 9 year wedding anniversary on December 27th, and this was my gift to him. Now we just need to find a place to hang it in our teeny apartment. :)

We have had the BEST sunrise and sunsets this year.....so pretty!

This one was the sunrise when getting ready for school.

We made 10 tea-towels with the girls' hand prints on either side and then I painted their names next to the prints. This was our Christmas gift to our family members this year. Thank you to my friend Anne for the idea. It was a fun project.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my wonderful and thoughtful husband. It really is a blessing to be married to my best friend. We have a great time together! Here we are at our friend's house where they made him a cake and we all sang to him. It was a good day.

This was a really fun weekend for all!

Enjoying lunch in the Captain's Headquaters that date back from the 1890's. Go U.S. Air Force!

Our sell-out tree. So pretty though.

They love to get dressed up and have their picture taken. Funny girls.

Char was a pro with Santa this year. It took her a while to stutter out what she wanted (sometimes it takes her a while to get to a point) but it was sweet. Also, this was the day Char got her hair cut (see story below). I LOVE her new haircut.

This was at the ward Christmas party that I DRAGGED Adam to......will he ever want to make friends or go out? I am glad we push eachother to be better people and get out of our comfort zones every once in a while. We work as a good team.

He and I enjoyed seeing Char in the Primary's Live-Nativity scene. They sang a few songs too....it was so adorable. What a good memory for us to have.

The girls got their Christmas present early this year.....a NEW bed. And it is a bunk-bed no less. These beds are so roomy and cozy. We are very pleased with our purchase from American Furniture Warehouse. We know these beds will last a long time and come in handy.

See the long hair? It is so beautiful and takes a while to grow out but we know that some little girl will be honored to wear a wig made out of this, so......Charlotte decided to donate it for her second time to "Locks of Love." She was so gracious to give up her hair. She didn't cry or anything. What a neat little girl.
