Finally... All caught up!

I am finally caught up on blogging after so many months of being behind.  This winter has been a long one and we still haven't gotten a great spring yet, so fingers crossed we will start seeing pictures of flowers coming up and buds on the trees.  A quick update on what the girls have been up to since turning 4. 
  • They still love everything princess and now Bailee loves Batman.
  • Aftin is a little fashionista and wants to look "beautiful" every day which pretty much means she likes wearing skirts a lot.
  • They are getting into old school cartoons, like Scooby Doo and Tom and Jerry.
  • Bailee is as laid back as they come unless she's tired.
  • They like talking about God and eating healthy (thanks to their teachers at daycare, Miss Niccy and Miss Alexis)
  • They love spending time with their friends at daycare, Azlynn, Mia, Molly, Megan, Jackson and Daniel.
  • They are still great meat eaters and will have a couple bites of veggies at dinner.  They also like to do "cheers" with our cups.
  • Their BFF's are still Maggie, Maddyx, Tommy, Addison and all their cousins. 
  • Reading is one of the best past times for the girls these days.
  • Stoli is still Aftin's bestie and she can't get enough of him.
  • The girls love riding anything with a motor which makes Lance thrilled. 
  • We can't wait for warmer weather because the girls are still huge fans of being outside. 
  • They go to Grampie and Grammie's house on Tuesdays and will until this fall when they start the 4k program in New Richmond.  (We open enrolled them into New Richmond)
  • Bailee loves giving everyone she knows big hugs and is so sweet by telling everyone how pretty they are.
  • Aftin is my social butterfly and is the first to approach other kids.
  • They love the movies Rio, Frozen and Little Mermaid.
  • They have a social life already and have been to several birthday parties and a few play dates. 
  • Both girls are able to write their names and do a great job at their letters.
  • At their last physical they were on the tall side and just above average on weight. 
  • I just started shopping in the girls section versus toddler at the store now.  This was so strange for me as I wasn't ready necessarily for them to be getting so big so fast.
  • They are in size 10 shoes for the most part and flip flops are still their favorite.
  • Bailee had the flu recently and it was right after a birthday party with cake, so she no longer likes cake. 
The girls are amazing and make us laugh each and every day.  I can't believe how much they have changed and how fast it feels that it has gone.  Hoping it starts to slow down here at some point. 

Easter Time!


We celebrated Easter this year by going to church and then headed home for both families to join us in a day of awesome weather.  Because it was so nice out we did an easter egg hunt, kickball tournament, rode the go cart and had a fire.  It was an unbelievable day!
Thanks Grammie for these awesome shades!

Another day, another birthday party

The girls celebrated their friend Molly's 4th birthday at the Hudson YMCA this last Sunday.  It was the second birthday party of the weekend and they couldn't get enough of the celebrating.  By bedtime though they were exhausted.

She's going to hate me later...

I couldn't help but get a picture of Bailee and Jaxson watching a movie this last weekend and looking like twins with the same expression on their faces.  Yep, she's going to hate me as she gets older as sees these pictures...

Addison Turns 6!

The girls got to celebrate Addison's birthday this past weekend.  They loved every part of the princess party, especially when Ariel, the little mermaid, came.  They had their nails painted and eye shadow when they came home.

Bunk Bed Time!


The girls finally got bunk beds and couldn't be more excited about having tons of sleepovers now.  Aftin also picked out new butterfly wall apliques too.  They are so proud of their big girl room.

Snow Time!

This is April in Wisconsin this year... Need I say more.

These girls...

I couldn't love them more!  Especially during moments like this.

Sledding Time!

We had so much snow this winter that we were sledding well into March.  Here the girls are having fun with their cousins Kennedy and Blake.  Also some fun with the go cart too.


Yep, this girl wears cowboy boots in the snow.


Lance and Lance Jr.




Circus Time!

The girls and I went to the Shrine Circus again with their daycare.  It was a lot of cotton candy and popcorn for the second year in a row.
