4th of July fun

Well we did our annual trip to Jackson Hole this year for the 4th of July. My bright idea was to use our flight benefits and fly up to Idaho Falls both ways and have Dave pick us up there instead of spending 4 hours in the car with kids. The flight is only 30 minutes and the girls slept both ways. It is only another hour and a half to our condo in Driggs where we stay each year. I love free flight benefits:) The bad news about the trip is that both girls had bad colds and were pretty cranky the whole trip. The first night was very sleepless as Maddie could not be consoled not matter what. Ash kept saying "Mommy tell her to stop crying I'm tired!" We did manage to swim one day and ride the chairlift at Grand Targhee. We also did our annual hike at Jenny Lake to the waterfall, it is so pretty! The day of the 4th we went to Jackson to picnic and watch the fireworks. Maddie was dead asleep when they started but woke up and giggled and pointed. Maddie loved it......Ashley is still afraid. She didn't cry this time but she had earplugs in and sat with her eyes closed on my lap the whole time. We are making progress!

Maddie's BELATED birthday pics

I know that she turned one on March 24th...however life gets busy and I'd still like to have a record of it on the blog. Enjoy. The following video is an example of why you never take cake from a baby on her birthday.....

Random kiddie pics

I have so many fun pics that I've taken over the last few months that I wanted to share. Just a glimpse into our life with 2 girly girls who love each other one minute and are pulling each other's hair the next!

What happens when you let a 14 month old feed herself.......

Let's just say that we do not get to eat yogurt or oatmeal in the morning if we need to hurry out the door...

Ashley starts softball!

Treat time!!!

Throwing the ball

Learning some rules

Taking a "little rest"

We are super excited for Ashley to be learning how to play softball this year. She plays with her good friend Garrett and each week the kids rotate between stations for 10 minutes at a time and learn lots of fun new skills like hitting, running and catching. The last 2 weeks of the program will be a mock T-ball game, should be hilarious since all the kids are only 3-5 years of age.

Memorial Day Fun

Allison and Maddie...7 months apart in age!!

We had a fun weekend without Daddy while he was camping in Canyonlands. We went to the Zoo on Sunday with Nana and then to the park. Nana hadn't been to the Zoo since we were kids and was surprised how much it had changed for the better. The weather was great and we even ran into Deb's friend from college, Alix.  We had our friends Kate, Garrett and Allison over for dinner on Saturday.

Easter Pictures

Last week I went and had a quick 10 minute session with a photographer that my friend Whitney recommended. They turned out great...so fun for the girls, and the bunnies were so mellow!
