Girls b-day pictures

Well the girls turned six 43 days ago (but who's counting?) and I have yet to put the pictures up from their exciting day. In all honesty, I actually loaded these the day after their birthday but have yet to post them. Better late than never, right??! :)

I took them to a kiddie salon called Sweet and Sassy where they got pampered. This was right up their alley! They loved it and talk about doing it next year. I won't share how much it cost because it was absolutely ridiculous!! But since they didn't have a party I figured this made up for it. And Emily DID get her ears pierced! She changed her mind that morning about 12 times, but went through with it. Abby says she is waiting until her 10th birthday.

Home Sick

My little Emily never gets sick. And it happens so rarely that when she does get something - the sweet little thing acts like she's on her deathbed.

She's her daddy's girl.

So she woke up this morning with a cough... in which I thought she was making it sound worse than what it was.

I was right.

She coughed all the way to school, gave me the "poor, poor me" act and then when we got home - she was ready to go to the store, practice some reading and writing...

chill out with the baby brother

played barbies

drew barbies

chased each other around the house ruining everything I had cleaned before they woke up.

My sweet little sick girl is headed back to school tomorrow.

Happy Easter!

Oh my - we have been busy. Soccer just ended, swim team has just begun, and our house is officially on the market. We are rarely at the house these days - the house is being shown all the time. And when we are home, it involves cleaning. Keeping the house in perfect condition and "show ready" at all times is a complete joke.

Here are a few pictures from painting eggs earlier today. I hope you all have a blessed Easter!

Bad blogger

Well I knew it was awhile since I put something up on this blog, but I didn't realize it's been a month!

We've been so busy with soccer, swimming, school, and just life. Plus it's hard to get anything done when you have a baby that hardly naps. And we're about to put our house up on the market. We're not moving far - just to a neighborhood close by. So things have been very crazy!

Here are the girls at 5 years and 364 days old. They'll be turning 6 tomorrow. 6!! What on earth?

I'm taking them to a kiddie salon to get pampered. This is right up their ally. Emily is even going to get her ears pierced... well that's what she says now before she sees the ear gun tomorrow. Abby doesn't want to partake in any of that.

Here's a few pictures from Austin's soccer game last weekend. He's still our little soccer star... quite the athlete. All he wants to do these days is play soccer, throw the football, etc. Anything outside. James and I have had some very good workouts lately.


Wow, such talent...

Cole at the last soccer game... he's getting so big. 10 months old now and into EVERYTHING. He's super fast... you can't take your eyes off of him for one second. He is exhausting... but oh so sweet :) Looking more like Austin everyday, don't you think?

It's spring break this week. The highlight today was that Austin ate his first hamburger... ever. Technically it was a cheeseburger, but since he doesn't like cheese (only "melted" cheese) we couldn't call it a cheeseburger. The kid loved it. Go figure. My picky eater is finally trying new things!

Sweet little valentines

We had a very busy and fun Valentine's Day yesterday. I still view this holiday more of a Hallmark holiday... we usually don't go crazy with gifts or anything. I did get James a box of chocolate. And guess what I got in return? A new washer and dryer! Yipee!! It comes tomorrow, best Valentine's day EVER - ha!!

Cole has his tongue constantly out these days.





Gee I wonder how Cole got these heart stamps all over his head?

Nobody completely admitted to it, but I have a good idea.
