Busted

In our house there is a rule that you have to be 5 yrs old to use mommy's camera. So when I came downstairs to upload my pictures for the blog I found these wonderful pictures. As I looked closer I realized they were not pictures I had taken so it must have been the girls. The greatest part about it is I asked Alivia to come in and look at these really nice pictures. When she looked at them she looked at me weird and said "what". I said who was the photographer that took these wonderful pictures. Alivia was pretty quick to blame Ella. As you can see Ella is the one in the pictures so my little Alivia had to of taken them. I wasn't to mad or mad at all. I think she knew she was busted by mom....

Finally snow...

We finally got a inch or two of snow to play in the other day so we took full advantage and headed out. This basically was Ella's first time in snow since she was to little last year and we had 10 feet of snow all winter. Alivia has been waiting to break in her new snow boots and snow pants. We also found out we were not completely prepared for winter. I mean it's almost February and we still had no gloves besides the baby ones. The next day we headed to Target to finish up our winter gear for the rest of winter. To bad two days later it's 40 degrees and the snow is about gone again. I can't complain because last winter about did me in and this is a pretty nice break.

Some final pictures of Florida end with Ella who asked papa everyday to play the piano. Every morning she would yell "papa" and then pull him to the piano to turn on. She also loves planes so when we were at the airport she would run to the window and just watch them. I think Ella might have a little bit of an obsession problem with things, but for now it's cute....

Florida Take Two

I know I take a ton of pictures and I promise this is the last of our trip to Florida. In this batch it shows the girls having more pool and beach fun. Also, one of our fun nights out on the town. Enjoy!

We always try to get a family picture one night. Of course the camera case got in the way of this one.

Pool baby

We had a lot of inappropriate swimsuits on this day. Between my girls we had a lot of butt cracks and boobies going on.

And if you know Clint we couldn't get out of Florida without a food challenge. This one was a HUGE burger with 5 slices of cheese, 4 fried eggs and onions. Oh and don't mind the whole loaf of bread it's sandwiched between. Clint did a good job, but this time food won....

Florida Take One

The Varleys are home after a very relaxing trip to Florida. We all had a great time and the weather was perfect for us too. We spent many days at the pool and beach. Ella could not get enough of running into the water and running out. Alivia would much rather spend her days swimming all day in the pool. From wonderful meals to laying in the sun it was a fun 8 days of greatness!

We played break moms sand castles for hours

Alivia's favorite pass time... the pool
One of Ella's favorite spots

She also did a lot of running down the beach

Favorite hang out places...

Some new places to play in at our house are in the entertainment center which is now down in the basement. The girls figured out once the doll house was out of there it was empty. So what to do kids do with an empty space? Climb inside and hang out I guess.

Fun times in the Varley household
They thought it was pretty cool that the door closed and they were inside. Man I wish I would be entertained by something silly like that.

Ella also likes to sit on the couch like a cat. Today she watched the men outside cut down tree branches. I think she gets board when Alivia is at school.
