Spring Break

We stayed here in Boise for Spring Break. The first 2 days were very nice and then we had rain the rest of the week. But we did get to do some fun things.

Luckily I looked ahead at the weather and we planned to hike on Monday with our friends, Lincoln, Devry, Brenna, and my friend Serena. It was perfect weather!

We made lots of yummy food, including a new favorite granola recipe :)

We invited Allie's girl friends, Lilly and Lillia over since they have morning Kindergarten and we never get to play with them. They played with their American girl dolls and acted out the entire movie of Frozen! Haha!

Enjoyed the rainy weather. Katelyn wants an umbrell and boots so so bad. Everyday she asks if it's June yet so she can get some for her birthday!

Had a funny face-off. Doug made a funny face and the girls tried to match it. :)

Had a lot of fighting and yelling so we tried the "Get Along Shirt." They were not happy about getting into it and then they started laughing and running all over the place having the best time. I can't decide if I will use it again!

The girls love dress up and sometimes dress me up!

Puzzles and games

AND this little lady turned 3 MONTHS!!! What!? Oh she is so yummy :)

Little Ski Bunnies

We did it! We took the kiddos to Bogus Basin to try skiing. My sweet friend let us borrow her boots and ski and we figured both the girls could use them. WRONG. They both had total meltdowns, crying and screaming on the hill. Doug and I were like, "Awesome, we drove up here and now we get to just go right home." But we thought we'd have them try some boots and skis on in the rental shop and see how it went. The minute they tried those on they were happy as can be and really excited! So we tried again. They had a blast. Allie did really well and this is a great age for her to start. Katelyn didn't understand why we had to help her. She was ready to just do it all herself...yikes! We'll wait a few years for her to go again! We are glad we tried it even though it was crazy. Hope to make skiers out of our girls so it can be a fun wholesome family activity we can all enjoy someday.

A beautiful day at Bogus Basin

"I hate these shoes."

Imagine screaming...

Hating it but can't help but smile because it really is fun even if it hurts!

She quit and did snow angels instead!

Allie all ready to go!

Allie on the Magic Carpet

She did awesome!

Katelyn on the Magic Carpet

Katelyn had a hard time staying with Doug so he had to pick her up!

Wiped out!

This was a sweet moment I caught!

Happy to be free!

Super proud of herself

All done. We all survived!

Cambree slept the entire time! What a sweet little babe.

Winter Recital

The girls have been in dance class this Fall-Winter. Katelyn asks me everyday if it's "dance class." It's only once a week and I think they could do it everyday. They performed a song called "Winter Wonderland" by Jason Mraz. Allie did such a nice job. She's old enough now to really remember the moves and follow along. Katelyn is not quite there yet. She did a few of the moves but for the most part went to her own dance world and wasn't afraid to show it! They are darling and it's a recital we will remember!

2013 Girl Pictures

We thought we should wait to have family pictures for when our baby joins the family. But we had our good friend, Annie Sorenson take a few shots of the girls. It took a total of 10 minutes and we were done. They did awesome and are growing up way too fast. I never want them to grow up!

Grinch Party

The kids had the entire week of Thanksgiving off from school so we had a Grinch Party with friends. We invited a lot of kids but figured a few wouldn't be able to come...and everyone came! So we had 18 kiddos which was a lot of fun!

They each brought a used toy to donate to other kids. It was hard for my kids to do but I was proud of them when they went through their stuff and started to find something that they didn't use that someone else might enjoy. We watched the Grinch, pinned the heart on the grinch, and had fun Grinch food.

All Things Random: October

I take a lot of pictures with my iPod and most people see them because I post them on Instagram or Facebook but for those of you not on those networks, here are some random pictures from October.

Saw the "Weiner-Mobile" on our way home and had to stop!

First mug of hot chocolate was a hit

Zumba belly at 30 weeks

I washed two pillows and this was the result. That was fun to clean up.

Our one and only cantaloupe from the garden...pipsqueak just like us!

Doug's pretzel message for the girls to wake up to...so sweet!

Allie beating me in Monopoly. I lose everytime. 

Leaf raking and playing

Got the crib together and the girls wanted to get in! :)

I got free new glasses from coastal.com. Score!
