A Day of FUN with Grandma and Grandpa!




Maddisen especially liked the seahorse display. Two of the seahorses wrapped their tails around each other and Maddi said, " Look mom they are hugging!"



Fishy Lips!


Hanging out with my Grandpa!





Daddy and his two beautiful girls!



Emma and Daddy are hanging out with the octopus.


Grandma and the girls are checking out the jellyfish,,,so cool!



We had a wonderful day with Dressup Grandma and Helicopter Grandpa! We went to the Living Planet Aquarium and then went out for lunch. The girls had a BLAST checking everything out. Maddisen was a little nervous about touching the underwater creatures where as Emma was right in there touching and poking! What a great way to spend their last day here before heading home! We will miss you guys, but thanks for the great visit!

Hula Girls!



We had a fun time at our preschool luau! Emma was tickled to get the have 2 parties in 1 day!!! It was a little bitter sweet saying goodbye for the summer, but it helped knowing they would all be back in the fall for one more year of preschool. Maddisen was able to join us for the second party when she got home from kindergarten. The girls especially enjoy the party days! Emma was so excited about the grass skirt that she wouldn't take it all the way off to go potty and so she shuffled the whole way to the bathroom! So cute!!!

Taking Time to Smell the Flowers!




My little blossoming Emma!

Planting Time!




Maddisen has become quite the little gardener. Just like Kitty Cat Grandma taught her, she waters each plant gently and says, "Here you go babies!" (in a soft kind voice) SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!! Makes me think of my mom everytime I'm with my girls in the yard working. Even Emma says it now because Maddisen told her the plants won't grow beautiful if you don't talk to them "Grandma said so!" Emma was a little busier collecting rocks and playing in the flowers while we were working!

Surprise!



My husband surprised me with a window box for the house. I have wanted one for a few years but couldn't find one big enough for the front window. He gave it to me early so I could plant all my flowers! Oh I cannot WAIT to see my flowers start dripping over the edge,,,oh YAHOOOOOOOO SPRING!!!! HELLO SUMMER!!!!!!!! The girls and I were in flower heaven at the nursery yesterday! So many bright colors, the smell of DIRT (I love that smell - must be the farm girl in me!) and the excitement of everything around you GROWING!!!! The only thing missing at the nursery was my MOM!!! I loaded up the wagon with the beginnings of my baskets and headed home to plant with my girls! Who would have thought, the girl who ONLY wears black LOVES COLOR!!!!! My color of choice- PINK!!!!!! Yes Dad, you read it right,,,,,,,I'm in love with PINK!!!

A Sister is One Who Reaches for your Hand and Touches your Heart!



I know the day will come when they will want seperate rooms, seperate beds, different toys, different friends and their own space. But for now, I'm going to just watch and enjoy them loving each other and sharing everything including a snuggle.
