My undies girl

There is a little tomboy in both my kids and I love it.  Alivia loves to be naked with her undies on.  If she could be like this at all times she would.  Today I caught her making her own house while using the doll house accessories.  I tried to video her playing, but I got caught before I could.  Love the imagination and creativity that comes out of these kids...

Sisters

The joys of having two girls so close in age.  It's so nice that they play together, they like the same toys (as of right now) and the youngest just wants to do whatever the older one does.  Life is pretty simple right now until baby #3 comes along.  I had a small glimpse into our future (if we have another girl) on Sunday.  Our friends came over to play and their daughter (Lilly) plays well with both of my kids.  The only issue is when they all three try to play one always feels left out in some way.  Same goes when Presley comes over to play with the girls.  So right now I am enjoying my simple life with two girls that right now love to play with each other.

A little morning Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Ella normally doesn't watch TV unless she notices Alivia watching it.  So on this morning I was folding laundry and Ella was trying to get Alivia to play with the doll house.  Alivia was completely into her show so Ella just decided to give in and decided the only way she was going to get to play with Alivia was to do what she was doing.  Am I dreaming if I want this behavior to last till their older....

4 months (16 weeks)

So it's taken this long to finally get an update on baby #3.  Mom and baby are doing well and growing as you can see.  Baby at our last appointment was great and mom checked out too.  We are anxious to finally put a name to this little one in just a few short weeks.  So here we are and you can definitely tell we have a baby in there.  I am hoping any day now I will start feeling this little baby moving around.  

Summertime in March

We have been enjoying this summer weather in March so much we have been outside for days now.  It's been fun playing and jumping on the trampoline this early with our friends.  This makes me so excited for summer and all the fun we are going to have.

Girls, girls, girls

Just another normal day at our house with the girls.  Alivia loves to pick out her own outfits everyday with a little guidance my mom.  This is what happens when I tell her to go pick out anything she wants to wear.  We might have to work on her style down the road if she keeps this up.  It's a lot of fun to see her come into her own little self these days though.

Ella has become a little entertainer.  She has taken on cheer leading these days and let me tell you I worry for her future.  This girl has a mind of her own...

Basketball game

Clint took Alivia to her first NBA basketball game.  She had a great time and was so excited to eat her hot dog and cotton candy.  Of course she went in true Alivia style.  I had her in a sweatshirt and jeans, but that was not up to Alivia's standards.  She wanted to wear a skirt and slip on shoes and of course we could not forget her purse...

Not sure who had a better time.  Alivia was pretty entertained by all the fans and excitement that was going on and Clint I think was just excited to share this special time with her.  Even little girls can go to sporting events and enjoy themselves.  

Disney on Ice

The ladies once again headed out on the town for night with the Disney Princesses.  Presley and Alivia just can not get enough of them and was so excited to go again.  The best part is each show has been totally different so they see different princesses each time.  

Getting ready for the big show

Alivia so excited that we were sitting so close this time to the ice.

We started off with Princess and the Frog which was really good

Cinderella found true love

How can you not love Tangled.  This part of the show was amazing.

All the princesses at the end 

more from Iowa...

The girls always love to dress up in auntie Courtney's old dance costumes.  This time we dressed like our dolls.  Alivia dress like Jasmine and Ella did her best to be Snow White.  They danced and played around like two little girls would do.

The girls even got in some doll house fun.  With the help of uncle Chad's girlfriend (Kelsey) the girls used a barbie box and some of auntie Courtney's old doll house furniture to complete the luxury home for their dolls.  Grandma was very creative by using necklace boxes as beds that the girls put their dolls to sleep in .
