Girls

I just have to post these pictures so they are documented and so I don't forget my precious girls at this age (a few months ago).  Ivy was 13 months here and Millie was 21 months.  These pictures were taken in Michigan in the spring right when all the blossoms were blooming.  They didn't last long, but they sure were pretty!  I just love their matching dresses that Grandma Green gave them.

Ivy couldn't walk here...just stand.  And Millie was loving all the flowers.  They were tired and ready for naps, and I can't believe we got one of them both looking at the camera and semi smiling.  We sure love these girls!

4TH OF JULY 2013

yes, we are busy over here.  blogging has taken a backseat.  but as long as it gets documented for the books right?

this year for the 4th of july we stayed in michigan.  we went over to our friend's house and played.

we ate bbq, the girls splashed in water, played a few water balloon games, and finished the night off with some fireworks.  it was pretty low key, but fun to spend it with friends.

we had a great night and are so thankful for all our friends we have met here in michigan.

Cinco de Mayo 2013

This year for our Cinco de Mayo party, we had a few friends join us to celebrate.  We all wore fake mustaches the whole night, beaded necklaces and listened to fiesta-esque music all while enjoying Cafe rio recipes.

Mustaches never get old.  No, but seriously.  We laughed and laughed.

these two babes were so cute together playing on the blanket.  Such little hams!

The spread that you can't see very well.  But I have to document.

Happy cinco de mayo two months late!

Easter 2012

Before I get into the details of our new little addition, I need to catch up on events prior to Ivy's big debut.  

This year for Easter, it was pretty low key.  We attempted a family picture in our Easter Sunday best, but that failed.  We went to church, came home and took naps, had a little Easter egg hunt for Millie and ate the traditional Easter dinner with some friends.  It was fun to see Millie search for eggs filled with her favorite jellybeans.

obsessed!

I don't know what I did that day that put me into labor...maybe it was the ham? or how relaxing of a day it was?  Let's just say, we definitely enjoyed our last Easter together as a family of three.
