California Girl

Emma is truly a California girl, she looks so cute in her sisters sunglasses. Emma is growing up way to fast...she sat up by herself for ten seconds today! She is also the drool queen, those darn teeth just won't come in. Her smile is infectious, wherever we go people are always commenting on how happy she is. (I think she will a people person) It is cute how she gets a little fussy around the time Ben should be home and then as soon as she sees him she is all smiles again. If he leaves the room she searches for him until he comes back...she is a daddy's girl just like Allison.

Groudhog Story

Driving home from the YMCA today I decided to tell Allison the story of groundhog day. She must have liked it becasue she made me tell it at least 10 times and each time she would tell part of it with me. This video is of her helping me tell the story.

By the way can any of you correctly spell the groudhogs name? I will leave the correct spelling as a comment on this post!

First trip to Disneyland

I took Allison and Emma to Disneyland for the first time this week. Our wonderful friend Jenn let us tag along with her and her girls, it was great! We stayed for two days and on day two another friend Isa joined us with her girls...watch out 9 crazy girls! Allison's face was priceless, she was in awe the whole time. Her favorite ride was Dumbo and she LOVED the princesses of course. She liked all the characters and was friendly to them...except the Mad Hater. She warmed up a little to him when he poured her a glass of pretend tea. I think this was the perfect time to go for our first time, the lines were short and the weather wasn't scorching hot or raining...It was jacket weather. I am going to post most of the pictures I took so sorry if your not Allison's Grandparents! And there will be more to come Jenn took a bunch of pictures I need to get from her. I hope you enjoy our first magical experience at Disneyland!

Two year old girls

Haylee came over today while her mom was at a meeting. The first 2 hours went great the girls loved playing dress-up and dancing. They had a little tea party and played in the tent. But then it got a little emotional...Allison was pouting for no apparent reason and Haylee cried when I took a toy away from Allison. Then Haylee bonked her toe and needed a hug and Allison pretended to get hurt so I wouldn't forget she was there too. In the girls defense they are both sick so I am sure that had something to do with it. I love these little two year olds they keep life interesting.

New Dresses

I cashed in my gymbucks and got these cute dresses for the girls. They are so comfy and Allison loves dresses so I am sure they will get lots of use even after Valentines.

Check out Emma's legs they are twice the size that Allison's were.

Just another Tuesday

Allison had fun stamping some thank you cards today, surprisingly all the ink stayed on the paper. For breakfast we had eggs and toast with a valentines flare, Allison LOVED it! And poor Emma she is having a rough day, she won't eat and she is having a hard time sleeping it is so weird she is usually super happy baby.
