Just Because.....

We have found Emma out of bed, sleeping like this a couple of times....so Jacob decided to join her.
Emma loves Elmo and insists on putting him down her shirt so she can carry him everywhere.
Maddie is learning to get up on her arms. She has mastered looking cute!
Maddie will put anything in her mouth!

Halloween!

We had a lot more fun with Halloween this year since Emma is starting to understand trick-or-treating. We started out the season by carving pumpkins with Neal and Meleah and then we went to our ward trunk-or-treat. Let me tell you....it wasn't exactly the best night ever. There were 3 wards there and it was way too crowded! I lost Emma (and obviously found her) and the trunk-or-treating didn't even start until 9:00 pm!! Talk about us and the girls being tired. But Emma and Maddie both looked adorable and it was worth watching Emma hold out her hand (she refused to hold her bag) for candy.

Emma as a Big Sister!

Maddie is just about 3 months old and Emma is getting ready to turn two here but is already trying to be a great big sister. She noticed that Maddie's shoes were not on and kept saying "Mommy, Maddie's shoe back on". So she finally decided she was going to have to put them on for her. It was hilarious watching her try to get the shoes on and she was so happy when she finally did it. Well, she thought she got them on! Too cute!

Emma Turns Two!!

We celebrated Emma's birthday yesterday and had a lot of fun! We opened presents and had some yummy cake and ice cream and then just enjoyed hanging out with the family. Emma LOVES coupe cars and when we go to other people's houses that have them, she spends all of her time there and gets really angry if other kids try to get in "her" car. So I knew I had to get her one for her birthday and I was SOOOOOO excited to give it to her. She did not disappoint me as she has been playing with it since we gave it to her! Thanks to Aunt MB who helped me with everything and made Emma's weekend so fun! Thank you to all of our family who came and for the thoughtful presents....Emma loves them!

Emma and Maddie dressed alike!

This is the day after Emma's party but she is watching a movie from her car. Talk about the "drive-in"!!

My crazy girls!

I just can't get enough of these girls! They are so much fun even though they really keep me on my toes!! Here are a couple of fun pics of them.
Isn't she the cutest?Yes...she is taking dough from the bowl....just like her mommy!
Is it just me, or does she look like she is not enjoying this tunnel??
Look at that tongue! She is the biggest drooler I have ever known!!
Such a couch potato.....watching her movie with her favorite snack - pretzels!

Just Because They Are Cute!!!

My friend Carrie came over the other day to get some pics of the girls. Maddie was not so cooperative (what baby is) but Emma had a good time playing and posing for the camera. Enjoy!!

Maddie's Blessing Day

We had Maddie blessed today and it went really well. We actually didn't mean to match as a family but it's pretty funny that we did! Most of our family was able to come and it turned out to be a really special day. I am so thankful for such a beautiful family and for a husband who has the priesthood to be able to bless our children.
