On A Roll!!!

Ken has been out of town the past couple nights, so once the girls are in bed, I have some "Olivia" time, hence the reasoning for all the blogging. I am sure I will go another month with no updates, so soak it up while it lasts!

I didn't see Emma-Grace get stuck in this position... but she is pretty funny. I wasn't in a rush to free her.

Grammy & Grampy bought the girls a bouncer... which they pretty much live in now. Here they are being bounced by Daddy.

Anna took ice skating lessons this winter and got pretty good. Her goal is to get good enough to ditch the snow pants and wear a beautiful skirt and warm tights.

Not to be out done by the Winter Olympics, we built the "Whistler 2" in our backyard for the brief period that we had snow. It started at the top of their play house, they were able to get about 20'. Take that Olympics!

Even Emma-Grace was brave enough to try the Whistler 2 out... but big sissy had to hold her on.

My Girls!

Here are the girls playing with the Crayola chalk paint... don't worry it is washable!








"Cheese!!!"

Make out time...

More make out time.
Emma-Grace's sweet outfit.
Bath time! Don't worry, her belly is hanging over the important parts!

Emma-Grace just pooped out her baby!
She loves her pockets.

Silly face!


More sister love.

Hello Again!

So I took a little break from blogging these past few months, but here I am with two LOOOOONG posts! You might notice that there are a lot of pics of Emma-Grace. Anna has entered the phase where she anticipates the flash of the camera so most of her pics are of her with her eyes closed. So I will put up some video of her too. These two posts are of pictures and video since February. I haven't been blogging, but I have still been taking lots of pictures! So they are in no order as I try to catch up! Enjoy!

Here the girls are playing with Crayola chalk paints... I will post more pictures later as there are some very interesting ones of Emma-Grace being creative. This is the best invention EVER!!!
Emma-Grace fresh from a bath!
Anna rarely takes naps, but I made her take one on Saturday so she could stay up late and watch a movie with us. She doesn't look at all tired!
Painting.
I asked Anna what she wanted to dinner the other night and she said "steak!" She is a meat eater and likes her steaks still mooing, just like Daddy! She ate half of my NY strip steak, and Emma-Grace and I split the other half. Then Anna helped Ken eat the rest of his.
Fashion show with some clothes that Grammy picked up at a garage sale.
So hip!
My ever so fashion creative Emma-Grace.
I know these are out of order, but I have so many pictures that I have taken and not posted.

So, Anna came home from school with a goldfish about two months ago. We were not aware that preschool curriculum included bringing home goldfish. Needless to say, it is STILL alive, and we now have a tank and two more goldfish. Their names (picked by Anna) are Sally-Goldie (the original fish), Lucy, and Adriannika.

Fun with Crayola chalk paint.
I promise you, you will laugh out loud when you watch these... These videos were taken just recently, but I couldn't wait to post them before earlier video that I took.

Towards the end of this video is an example of how sweet Anna is. She wanted to do the same tonight since Ken is out of town.

And here is a video of the girls singing along with their favorite show on TV, Scooby-Dooby-Doo!

We'er Baaaaaack!!!!!

I don't even know... But at this point, nothing surprises me with Emma-Grace.
Anna's castle.Emma-Grace's favorite hiding spot... REALLY tricky!
Snack time with one moon boot on ... its cool...
Another special thing that big sister gets to do is sleep in special daddy made forts on weekends with daddy and NOT baby sister...

Another one of Emma-Grace's fashion statements.The girls love Yoga. Here, Anna is doing the tree pose.

Princess Sisters.

Beautiful princesses... Emma-Grace is Barbie from the Three Musketeers and Anna is Cinderella. See both young ladies are wearing high heels? Both are quite good at running around the house in them.ICE CREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Daddy & Emmy!

Miss Blue Eyes
Emma-Grace sure is cute when she dresses up like a princess... although I just don't think she can pull off the long dresses like Anna can... Short and squat body types with tennis shoes just don't go with long dresses!


Sweet big sister at bed time.
So sweet at bedtime.
Here Ken is showing the girls how to hang a curtain hook.
On weekends Anna gets to stay up late and watch a movie and eat popcorn. It is a big sister privilege.
Sister love.
See the glob of ranch in Emma-Grace's hair. Bet you didn't know ranch dressing is an excellent hair styling product... Just as a reference, Emma-Grace tried Red Pepper Humus as a styling product this evening from the left overs of her snack. The results were not as promising as ranch dressing so I didn't take a picture of it.
Anna loves see food!
So Silly... That is a place mat.
So sweet... "Assuming the position" as Ken and Uncle Alan call it.
Emma-Grace loves paying dress up with big sister.
Princess Anna... playing dress up.
Ta-Da!!! Emma-Grace's favorite word is "Ta-da" and she is good at pulling off amazing acts! Like this one... How did she get one sleeve of a long sleeved onsie off while wearing overalls and being strapped into her seat?
