Two sweet girls.

I took the girl's pictures the other day after church, I thought they looked cute in their spring dresses. I LOVE having two girls that are best friends and play so well together.

Myla showing me she is "one".

Sisters and Best Friends!

Fun times!

Paige who's head I cut off in this picture hosted play group last week, she was so nice and planned a little party for Myla. Myla enjoyed celebrating with her play group friends.

I took the girls to the library for Kindermusik the other day. The offer free classes every once in a while, the girls really enjoy singing the songs and playing with all the instruments.

The other day when I was making dinner I got out a big bowl of water and told the girls have fun and keep the water on the bath towel. They played contently for and hour until dinner was ready, that was so nice for me and for them!

Our teeth are shiny now!

Gracelyn and I went to the Dentist to get out teeth cleaned or as Gracie would say ," we went and got our teeth shiny " the other day. This is the fourth time that she has gotten her teeth cleaned but the first time that she did everything from start to finish, she did a great job!

Alice did a great job with Gracelyn.

The Dr Kitzrow making her smile.

This is what Myla did while we were gone, slept on Ganda's couch! She will be joining us in October, I made her appt. to go with us the next time.

The girls really like doing a lot of " pretend " play lately, such as Doctor, House and Babies, Dentist, Noah's ark, Puppet show and the latest Ballerinas. I love listening and watching them play and make it up as they go.

Bowling fun

Our play group went bowling last week, the girls had a blast! We will be going back again, but this time we will bring Daddy!

The pictures are not the best, it was hard helping Gracelyn and Myla bowl and take pictures! This Mommy can only do so much.

Finally!

Last Saturday we had a big day planned outside so I got up early to make the girls a special big breakfast. One of our books that we read for the week was Noah's ark, so we had been discussing rainbows and Gods promise to us. The girls were very excited to see pancakes colored as the rainbow, they had a lot of fun eating them too!

Last weekend we finally had some nice weather, when we heard it was going to be nice we knew it exactly what the first thing on our list was to do. Gracelyn and Myla got a new two seater swing for their swing set for Christmas from Lance's parents, they have been very excited to try it out since Christmas! It has been in the garage so daily they have asked when Daddy was going to set it up for them. Needless to say they were very excited when Daddy said that the day had finally came to work on putting it together!

Gracelyn with her hammer ready to get to work!

Myla ready to get into something!

Working with Daddy.

Yeah it is done! They have spent a lot of time on this since last weekend. It was a great gift.

Enjoying their first picnic lunch of the year. Hot dogs on the grill!

Poor baby girl!

Poor Miss Myla didn't want to eat her dinner tonight. Gracie and Myla both wanted to have a Popsicle after dinner, I told them if they made a good attempt at dinner then they could have one. Myla decided that was going to be to hard, so she missed out on having a Popsicle tonight. Poor girl.

SNOW!

Gracie and Myla out playing in the snow today. Can you tell how Myla feels about the snow we got today?!?! Mommy feels the same way she does!

We have had a couple of very nice weather days, that teased us that spring was coming early! Well today when we got out of church it was snowing and snowing hard. We have about 6 inches of snow and it is now sleeting. Not fun! Here is a picture of the girls out in the snow today, we built a snowman ( hopefully the last one for the year ), helped Daddy with the driveway, and collected snow for our snow ice cream.

Our week

We celebrated Valentines day on Monday, the girls dressed up for the occasion! We had a fun night at home with the girls, playing with their new play silks that we got them. Pictures coming soon. They really used their imaginations while playing with the play silks.

We got the girls new beds. They are twin bunk beds that we will eventually use as bunks but for now while Myla is still fearless we will keep them separated.

Myla looks so little in her " big girl bed".

Gracie girl enjoying her new bed.

Getting ready to make some Strawberry snow ice cream. I think it is kind of gross to make ice cream out of snow even if it is fresh, clean fallen snow. The girls had a blast making the ice cream, so I guess I achieved what I wanted out of the experience, for them to have fun!

Gracie and Myla agreed we could make this daily!!

Christmas 2010

Christmas was very fun this year with the girls. Gracelyn is really starting to understood what Christmas really means. It was fun to be able to celebrate our saviors Birthday with the girls and also to see the magic and excitement of Christmas with the anticipation of Santa coming. I hope that we can celebrate like this the next few years. Myla was very intersted in opening her gifts for about the first two or three and then after that she just wanted to play with all her new toys.

Gracelyn sleeping in on Christmas morning.

Myla cuddling with her "Jesse doll ".

Singing "Happy Birthday" to baby Jesus.

I know Myla was thinking " CAKE, CAKE, CAKE! "

Checking out their stockings. Myla thought it would be easier to just dump the whole thing out.

Jumping on their new bounce house. Thanks Gram and Papa.

The aftermath!

Gracie's new brown ball, that she wanted so bad!!

Myla loved her new tube of toothpaste!

Gracie playing with her toys one by one.

Doing a little computer work, toothpaste still in tow. Maybe she will go in the Dental field like her mommy!

We started a new tradition this year of finding the " pickle " on the tree. Whoever finds the pickle on the tree first gets to open their gift first. Gracie found it first, I didn't get a picture of the big pickle winner!!
