March Happenings...

Time for a hair trim!
Colleen has been doing my hair since 2001! She is awesome. Now the girls get to have her cut their hair too!

Beautiful girl! We can see those big brown eyes again!

Emma Lou Lou was in need of her first bang trim! She got to suck on a dum dum to keep her occupied and still.

Mean look...

Yay!! All done!! My other beautiful girl with the big BLUE eyes!!

It has been so fun to go swimming. I take Emma in after Abby's lessons on Thursday nights. Dan is there doing swim team practice so he can help me get them showered and dressed when we are done.

If I am doing something in the kitchen and I want to keep Emma occupied I just bring out the hair "pretty" container and she is good for at least 30min!

I set her on the kitchen counter and she immediately went for the cell phone! :) It looks like she is texting Grammy!

Abby likes it when Emma pushes her stroller with her around through the kitchen and into the living room and back into the kitchen. She gets frustrated that she doesn't go fast and tries to pass her.

Abby loves water color painting. Emma is just using water with no paints and she sucks all the water from the paint brush a little at a time. :)

Sledding on our 3rd or 4th "snow" day of the school year!

Frosty the Snowman...

Emma really likes touching the snow and she wanted to hold a piece in her hand even without gloves!

Abby showing Emma how to make a snow angel.

Emma was crying because I was trying to take away her piece of snow and she wanted to keep it. By then it was a little piece of ice. You can see it in her left hand. We brought it inside and it finally melted while she was having lunch!

I guess Abby needed a hard surface to write on. She cracks me up!

I don't know why some pictures just randomly turn sideways!! It is a cute one of Emma reading her new Easter book.

We like to go to Abby's Pizza in Newberg with Dan's family.

Abby likes to wear goggles and a cap in the bath tub.

I decided we should get Emma a pair to wear in there too! I keep them pretty loose so that she can take them on and off.

February Continued...

Emma has started to climb on things. One day Abby left the step stool by the table and Emma went from the stool to the bench to on top of the table in like 2 seconds!! Here Abby is singing in her "microphone" which is actually a maraca. :)
I was feeling badly because we haven't taken Emma swimming as much as we did Abby at her age. The last few weeks I have been taking Emma in the water when Abby's lessons are over on Thursday nights. It has been a lot of fun and Emma loves the water. Dan is there too doing swim team practice so he can help me get them both showered and dressed when we are done. :)

I count 1, 2, 3 and then I pull her in and under the water. She closes her eyes on 3. It is so cute!

Abby likes to swim around and jump in with her noodle tied around her.

She loves the water!

Notice Emma's pants. She was walking on them and pulling them down. She is walking now! She still prefers to hold onto someones finger but she is getting a little better at doing it on her own.
