track pants

Tonight Ky demanded to pick her own pajamas. None of the ones in the drawer would do, so she opted for a brown Old Navy dress shirt and Navy track pants. Yeah, my kid has STYLE! She also loves to slide down the stairs to get to the playroom. As she discovered tonight that track pants plus stairs equals going really fast. Guess what we have spent all night doing?

Family Fun

Last Saturday my parents came down to attend the Draper Temple open house with us. We had so much fun. The temple was beautiful, and the girls really liked the cookies at the end. After the open house we went out to eat with my parents, my sister, and her cute kids. The girls love playing with their cousins!

After lunch the girls got to go on a special shopping trip with Grandma and Grandpa. They got to pick new bedding! It was a belated Christmas present since we were moving in December. They both picked different designs - not a huge suprise. They have such different personalities. Ky picked blue flowers and Savvy picked polka dots. Here are some pictures of them settling in their new beds.

Thanks mom and dad! The girls love the new bed stuff, and they really loved spending the day with you. Hopefully we can do it again really soon!

playing in the backyard

It was so warm outside today, so we threw on jackets and ventured into our new backyard. The girls had such a good time just running all over the place. It amazes me sometimes how they make up ways to entertain themselves. I was able to actually get some ok pictures so I am sharing them all!

"Sister Hugs"

"Sharing"

"Cheese!"

"counting rocks"

"deep thoughts"

"RUN!"




Then, to finish off the afternoon in the fresh air we did some noisemakers. I am sure our new neighbors love us! The girls weren't able to always throw them hard enough to make them pop, but they figured out stepping on them worked just as well. They got so excited! Savvy was so proud and I caught her on video telling me that she "did it!"

"Ninja Stove"

My sister requested more pictures of our new place, especially our stove. It was one of the things that attracted us to this house. We named it the "Ninja Stove" since the range is a drawer that pulls out (see that little black section with the silver handle? yeah, that is where the hotplates are.) It also has a double oven up top which I have fallen in love with. There is nothing like cooking two things at the same time. I really do think that 50's homemakers really did have it all figured out!

Daddy of the year award!

When a Daddy agrees to wear a Mickey Mouse bib at the dentist to entice his daughter into letting the dentist count her teeth - he should get an award. He actually got Savvy to let them check her out! What a good Daddy! Ky didn't need any encouragement. She sat like a champ and opened really wide. She loved the bubblegum flouride and the birthstone ring she got as a prize for being cavity free. Mommy and Daddy didn't get prizes though - we both have to go back. Maybe next time Ty can avoid the cute bib.

I found the camera charger!

Somehow the digital camera charger got misplaced, and our camera died a few days after we moved in. But never fear - we found it! My mom requested a new pic of the girls, so here we go!

Seriously how cute is that? You can really tell they are sisters in this picture... man, I love these girls!

(Oh, and do you see Ky's nose? She is more talented than other 3 year olds. Instead of shutting her fingers in the door, she shut her nose in it. Seriously. I'm still trying to figure out how she managed it.)
