Happy St. Patrick's Day!

"Mom, where's the rainbow?"

Since it is St.Patrick's Day, Alexa just knew there had to be a rainbow somewhere!

She is dressed from head to toe in green :)...She says she is the "Leprechaun Queen!"

And Karli loves to do whatever Alexa does and wear whatever Alexa does...cute little sisters!

So...

These cute little Leprechaun Fairies are here to say,

"Happy St. Patrick's Day!"

Disney On Ice

Alexa and I went on a little "Mom and Daughter Outing" to the Disney on Ice! 

We haven't had the chance to do

many things one on one, so we were really excited!

Alexa was really excited for the

Tinkerbell portion of the night...so, of course, dressed up!

We got to see Minnie and Mickey, Little Mermaid, Cars, Lion King, and Tinkerbell!

Great Memories!

A little more SLEDDING

We had such a fun time sledding, so we went the next morning with Tyler!

Nobody was on the hill...we had the place to ourselves

...maybe because we went out at 8:30 am!

Hopefully this will be the last picture with snow activities until next winter!

We are ready for Spring!

Random Fun

The girls wanted pictures of themsleves above...cute little things :)

Our FIRST, LONG time at the park! 

They enjoyed themselves so much...

(no pics of Alexa because battery died)

Karli has figured out the art of undressing and dressing herself...

We usually can't keep her in clothes...or diapers for that matter!

These small and simple pleasures of my day are so great!

Didn't Think I'd Be Posting Anymore Pictures Like This For Awhile!

I debated all morning if I was up to taking the girls sledding by myself...

but we decided to do it, and I'm so glad we did!

We had a great experience!

There was tons and tons of snow

(So Alexa was in heaven, having a blast),

and the weather was nice and warm

(so Karli actually enjoyed herself!)!

Hopefully the snow stays one more day
(I can't believe I said that)

so that Tyler can join us one more time before Spring!

Cute little buddies after sledding, all nice and warm

kitties

Santa brought our neighbors TWO KITTENS for Christmas

and now that the weather is getting warmer

our girls just can't get enough of them.

Alexa just can't seem to decide what pet WE are getting...

one day it's a bunny,

the next a dog,

and a few moments later it's two kitties of our very own.

Karli would be happy with anything, she just really LOVES animals.

Thanks to our neighbors

for having these two cute little kittens

and allowing our girls to play with them

and get their "fill" of playing with animals.

Someday...we will get a pet.

It just hasn't worked out or been the right time yet.

PLAY

This is the cute PLAYGROUP Alexa is a part of! 

It's so much fun for her to have so many friends in the neighborhood!

Amy PLAYED in her first State Game last night...GO AF!

She is amazing, her team did amazing, and these cute little cousins had a ball together!

Jade, Alexa, Noah, and Karli

Alexa was playing so sweet with Jeff's little girl Jade...so fun to watch!

Go Amy Go!

funny little Karli

Our Little Mermaid

Alexa has been taking swimming lessons for a few months now...she is now in level three! 

She is our little FISH!

She LOVES the water!

One mother could not believe Alexa was only 3 1/2...

"You have quite the little athlete!"

and I totally agree with her.

Alexa takes after Tyler in that way, she has always been very coordinated.

It is so much fun watching Alexa swim! 

Below are three "moves" Alexa was demonstrating from her class...

1. Chicken    2. Airplane    3. Soldier

Aren't kids so cute in their goggles?!

This is Alexa's little friend Merry, they have so much fun together!

And these two are just cute/funny pictures that Alexa had me take because she was so excited about her glasses that her grandma gave her :)

Showing the Love

Sometimes I think, "Poor Tyler!" 

But other times, "Tyler is the luckiest Dad in the world!"

His little girls LOVE HIM so much!

They change into different kids the moment their Daddy comes home from work

....they change to

LOUD

EXCITED

HYPER

CRAZY

ATTACHED

CLINGY

etc...

girls!

They just can't get enough of their Dad!

I hope he knows how blessed he is...!    :)

and I'm sure he does, because he is so great with them!

new favorite children's book

Have you had a chance to read these cute books?

Alexa and I LOVE them!

Very cute pictures

Very fun story

There is one more available now...Ladybug Girl Dresses Up!

I already can't wait to read it to my girls!

As you can't tell, I am totally in love with these :)
