Pigtails!

I somehow managed to do Ashlyn's hair today in pigtails- it wasn't easy! But I thought I should give it a try. She still doesn't have much on top, but the back looked pretty good! And she obviously wasn't happy about getting her picture taken.

Big Girl

Ashlyn has decided that she now has to sit up at the bar or at the table to eat with us. This is her eating cereal this morning- crazy girl!

She has also been interested in going potty, so I've let her sit on the potty a few times. She hasn't actually gone for me, but Oma put her on the potty on Friday and she went! She wants to be like Rylee and the big kids.

This Week

Here are some random pictures from this week and a funny little story from today. I was singing Elmo's World, but I changed the words to Rylee's World. She said don't say that, and I asked why. She said because that's ridiculous! She's so funny! (She doesn't like me singing at all- and even Ashlyn has started to say no when I sing- am I really that bad?!?)

Family Portrait- Rylee, Ashlyn, Mommy, and Daddy

Enjoying a banana

Ashlyn loves to play in the car-
we let her play for a few minutes when we get home.

Rylee loves her horses- she put them to bed on the couch.
There's a baby, a kid, a mom, and a dad.
She seems to have to have all those of everything-
she makes me draw pictures of things and she has me draw a mom, dad, kid, and baby.
It's so cute!

Ashlyn has started to really like our neighbor's horses- she has to see them every day. It's so nice to be able to watch and enjoy them without having to take care of them or get too close. That's my idea of a good pet!

Snow Day!

School was canceled today due to snow- in April! Only in Idaho! It snowed 4 inches last night and there was blowing and drifting snow. It snowed more in the winter and we never got a snow day, but maybe the city wasn't as prepared with the snowplows and everything today. I'm not complaining about the day off, but why does it have to snow in April?!? So my spring break turned into a week and two days- I'm really not going to be ready to go back tomorrow!! (I stayed home with Ashlyn yesterday because she was sick.) I hope Ashlyn is a little nicer today- she is a miserable sick baby. I think she's finally starting to get better though.

Easter Morning

Rylee loved Easter, but Ashlyn was too sick to care. She was the most miserable Sunday morning- poor thing. The only thing that could calm her down and put her to sleep was the Mormon Tabernacle Choir during conference! But Rylee and Ashlyn both loved Rylee's Spiderman markers- that was the only thing that made Ashlyn happy. So even though I don't usually let her use them, I let her- anything to make her happy!! She didn't care too much about her basket. And the candy didn't interest her either- which meant she really was sick. That girl loves candy- especially chocolate!

I had planned to take better pictures in their Easter dresses, but nobody was in the mood for dressing up and taking pictures!

Easter Eggs

Grandma and Uncle Cory came to color Easter eggs with us- Rylee had a great time- no pants and all! Ashlyn, on the other hand, was not feeling well. Ashlyn did want to help though. (She was sick all weekend with strep- the most miserable sick baby ever!!!) Rylee was very proud of her eggs!

Spring or Winter?!?

We woke up to a winter wonderland this morning- I thought this was spring break- not Christmas break! I thought I would be able to put away my winter clothes and get out the summer clothes this week, but I still need my sweaters. It's so sad!
