Spring Sunday

My grown up girls in their grown up room.  Today they were in their first spring'ish outfits, so we snapped a few pictures.

 

 

She told me, "Mom seriously you aren't going to see any teeth."  Bless her it is one jacked up mess, she is still gorgeous to me though.

 

How big do they look?

This little stinker loves her some clothes.  She was so completely over the moon to put on her new outfit.

A hiking we will go

We have finally gotten a rare glimpse of decent weather, it was the end of spring break, so we decided to break out of our rut and get outside.  We took the girls back to the park where we had family pictures.  We had a picnic, went on a pedal boat ride and then went on a hike.  We played around the camera and tried to get some shots of the girlies.

 

 

 

A family of ducks came up to the boat right at the end.  I think it was highlight of the day.  How cute are these babies?

 

 

I may or may not have spent the better part of the hike like this.  The Gnats were horrible!!!!!!!!!

 

I kind of love this shot, my sweet little girls in the middle of the forest.

NEW DIGS

So I showed you the before and here is the new "BIG GIRL" room.  She has transitioned fairly well, we still have our normal stall tactics, those haven't gone away completely, but she is doing pretty good.  I love to hear the pitter patter of little feet coming down the hallway in the morning.  That new found freedom, so sweet, so innocent.

 

 

Easter Sunday

She looks the part of an angel, even if she is the DEVIL.  I forgot to take a picture of her bloomers, they have purple ruffles across the bum, super cute.  These shoes didn't make it past wear one with the Red Head.  The toes are completely scuffed off, not sure what she caught them on, but they are goners.

My big girl doesn't want to smile showing her teeth right now, she has another hanger.  She looks pitiful, it is hanging by next to nothing.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to be pinning her down to get it out tonight.

Yep, not gonna do it Mom.

We love our Holt girls.

Doesn't Wayne look thrilled.  To me his face says, take the picture now, end this torture.

It's time to hunt Easter Eggs.  Let's do this thing.

Baskets of Sunshine

It is Easter basket time.....the Easter bunny amazingly arranged for remarkable similiar baskets.  There was one thing that was different and that was the one thing Ellison picked up on and wanted.  I had to divert her to the shoes in hers, which Hadley didn't get.  The Easter bunny was really practical this year too, the girls baskets each contained two swimsuits and minimal candy.  M.I.N.I.M.A.L C.A.N.D.Y, say it with me.  Candy manufactures are like a mafia or something.  Every holiday, CANDY TIME....let's sugar them up.  Hadley's candy can disappear and she won't even notice, Red the sugar tooth Monkey asks every 5 seconds for a piece of candy.
