Rocking Chairs+Books+Elmo=Happiness!

The girls decided to move their rocking chairs closer to the TV so they could multi-task and watch Elmo while reading.  They looked so cute that I had to take a couple pictures.

2nd Birthday Party Time!

This is a long one because I tried to get a lot of pictures of the girls' birthday party.  We had a much smaller party this year, though by the time presents were opened it was still chaos.  So happy that so many family and friends could join us to celebrate.

Look Who's Two!

We went with an owl theme for the girls' 2nd birthday and my brother in law's mom makes amazing cakes so we were lucky enough to have her create a special owl cake for the girls.  Her homemade frosting is out of this world and she's super creative.  She also made owl cupcakes but I forgot to get pictures of those.

Happy 2nd Birthday!!

Here is a video of everyone singing Happy Birthday to the girls at their 2nd birthday party.

Here's another video of the ABC's and this time Bailee chimed in until she got shy.

Queens for a Day!

The girls got to be queens for a day, which means we took them to Burger King for their birthday lunch hoping that they could use the indoor playland, but they are still a little too small.  They did enjoy the whale toys and crowns they got though, so it wasn't a total bust.

Aftin thought it was pretty funny that the crown wouldn't go over her pigtails.

ABC Time!

The girls have been watching the ABC Elmo video and so they are singing their ABC's quite a bit lately.  Here's Aftin's version.

Happy Birthday Song!

This is from the girls' birthday morning and after Bailee spills some milk they start to sing Happy Birthday.  They have been singing it since, especially on Valentines day.  Instead of saying Happy Valentine's Day, it was all Happy Birthday.

We're 2!!


 The girls turned 2 on February 10th and we spent a family day together.  The girls had t-shirts made that say I'm This Many with 2 owls on it and we had their names added to each shirt too.  I still can't believe that they are 2 already and my babies are turning into little girls.  I am excited for all the new milestones that we will experience in the coming year but a little sad that their first 2 years are gone.

We visit Hatch's!

We went over to Jenny and Chad's house recently to spend dinner with Chad, Jenny, Cody and Haley.  It was really fun and Cody was so sweet to the girls.  Haley is super smiley!  She slept for part of the time we were there so next time I will have to get more pictures of her next time.

Time at Nana and Papa's House

We spent the Super Bowl at Nana and Papa's house.  The girls got to see their cousins and our friends and since the Packers weren't in the game we didn't spend much time watching.  Instead the girls did a lot of reading and playing with everyone.

Lookout Ridge!!

The girls joined their cousins Maddyx and Cole and friends Luciana and Mateo at the indoor park, Lookout Ridge recently.  It was a little overwhelming with all the kids at first but it was a great time with all the kids.  A little break from the winter weather.

Pigtail Time!

Aftin got to wear pigtails for the first time a couple weeks ago.  Auntie Michelle came over and she did the pigtails.  Love them!!

Bailee's Creative!

Bailee loves to dress up and try on different outfits.  She wanted to wear Aftin's sunglasses but only wanted to wear them upside down.  I love her creativity!



Before and After

I just thought I would take a couple pictures of a typical day at our house.  The girls really enjoy playing with their toys and someday I am hoping they enjoy cleaning them up but until then mommy and daddy get to do it.  Here are some befores and afters.
