Where's Hannah?

It's always such an adventure to go into the girl's room in the morning and find out how Hannah has spent the night. Usually she is just covered with her blanket with her toes sticking out, like so:

This morning when Ben went in, he found her asleep in their dress up trunk! When we asked her why she was in there, she said she was dreaming about a parade. We checked her before we went to bed last night and she was sound asleep in her bed, so sometime during the night the truck sounded more appealing to her than her bed!

Face Painting

We checked out a face painting book from the library and the girls have been wanting to practice. We used water colors.

Quick July Update

Hi all! We've been busy just with daily living, swim lessons, and summer time! Here are a few snapshots:


Evelyn the brainiac. She has discovered putting letters together to make words. It's so fun! One morning she came in with this on the white board. It says: "And the winner is, Mom!" The blue word says "congratulations" somewhere in there!
The other day Evelyn sent Hannah in to me with a sticky note that said "come please fire fire fire!" There was no fire, but she needed the extra to make sure I came I suppose. I love that Hannah is the messenger.
Barbie stew?
The other day I had it with walking in the door and hearing "can I watch a show?" CONSTANTLY! So I unplugged the t.v. and told the girls they could live without it. It was the best decision I've ever made. We have since plugged the t.v. back in, but the girls don't care to watch it! Hooray! It is also one of the reasons I haven't blogged as much lately, it's just hard with little ones around.
So, the barbie stew is one of the many little creations around the house.
Our FIVE month old! How did that happen? Pardon the red eyes.

We also had a short and sweet visit from Jon and Nicole and Olivia who have moved from Rexburg. We were so happy to see them, we sure do miss you folks!

That's all for now! I still need to post pics from the visit from my mom and sister and baby Nicholas. We had so much fun with them here in Rexburg...

What a day for a tree swing

I have wanted and wanted and wanted a tree swing. This week when we were in Arizona, we went to IKEA and found these ditties for our tree. I feel so full and happy outside when I see the girls playing there. They call it their jungle gym. Here is just a clip of them enjoying it in the rain. It's a little boring, but you definately don't want to miss the last 10 seconds!

Family Pics

Our sister-in-law, Jen, took some beautiful family pictures. You can find them at: http://www.imcallingtheshots.blogspot.com/

Thank you so much Jen!
