About Five Months

It is amazing how quickly Elyse and Eliza have grown. It is so fun to get these little girls together and watch how much they are progressing. They both have such different little personalities, but are both so sweet. We are going to miss getting matching outfits to do pictures. Dianna, Elyse's mom, found these cute green outfits and got one for both girls. It took us quite a while to get together for pictures, but we finally made.

I love Elyse's little chubby cheeks. She is such a doll!

Elyse was so happy and chatty until we started getting the girls in their matching outfits, then she decided she had had enough fun for the day. They still did pretty good with the pictures.

Eliza had just woken up, and she is always happy when she gets up!

Eliza is our little Angel Baby!

Putting the girls together was so fun. Elyse would smile and interact with us and the camera and Eliza was more interested in Elyse than the camera. I hope you enjoy these pictures as much as we do!

I just love this picture!

When the girls were on their backs is when Eliza really got interested in Elyse.

Gotta check out the ears...

"Yep! It's a good one."

"Wow! What a view!"

"Ooh, that tickles!"

Elyse was not a fan of laying on her belly.

She much prefers to sit so she can see what is going on. Elyse is getting pretty good at sitting alone. (Notice her mom isn't holding her!)

Happy Easter

Blogger is finally letting me upload pictures! These are all from Easter weekend, but not necessarily in order. Okay...not in order at all.

The boys coming back from delivering cookies to neighbors.

We got these really cool magnetic rocks. Our Dad showed us how to make them into earrings.

My tribal men!

Eliza putting the jumper to use.

Eliza needed a bath, but conference had already started so we used the kitchen sink so that we could still hear the talks.

Decorating the sugar cookies Grandma Shirley sent.

Thanks Grandma! WE all had fun making and decorating the cookies.

Eliza with her Easter basket and bead runner.

Bradley LOVES his harmonica.

Daniel got a helicopter launcher. We have had loads of fun with it!

Daniel got up before everyone else. He found chocolate eggs in the baskets and decided to taste test them before letting everyone else know. The guilty party!

**********************

Eliza loves playing in the jumper especially if she has someone to preform for.

Technical Difficulties

Do to some recent technical difficulties I am unable to upload pictures at this time.  Which is really too bad since I have some great Easter pictures and more pictures of Eliza and Elyse.  Hopefully I will get things figured out soon, but if not, Tory call me when your finals are over!!

Playing with our cousins

We have gotten together with our California cousins a couple times this last week. They have been so much fun to have around. We aren't sure what we are going to do without them when we move. We will just have to keep having fun until then.

The boys ran around the back yard and gathered all the snails they could find and put them all together in a pile so they could "be one big happy family"!

"Slimy Snails!"

Seth

Ben was so good to play quietly by himself in the house. He loves trains and the fact that no one was around to take them away!

Last Sunday we got together for dinner and visit. Anna had all the kids lined up for a marching band. It was really cute. Unfortunately I didn't get my camera quite fast enough.

What a cool gun!

Elyse and Eliza checking each other out.

Actually, it was more of Eliza checking Elyse and and Elyse smiling at the camera!

These girls are so much fun.

Anna & Eliza

Eliza loved playing with Anna, especially her hair!

**********************

I tried to get the kids doing their back yard marching band. It was so cute to watch them all following Anna and "playing" their instruments. I was a little slow on the video too. By the time I got it out the show was almost over.

Spring has sprung...

This last weekend we had perfect spring weather. Since things were so nice Andy decided to do a little spring cleaning out side. He cleaned out all the rain gutters around the house and washed the cars as well. The boys loved riding bikes outside and helping their Dad.

One of our neighbors was kind enough to let us borrow her ladder.

Bradley was holding the ladder down and eating a Popsicle while Andy was getting the gutters over the back patio.

Eliza enjoyed the weather immensely.

She was a great supervisor! She is a pretty good task master and kept Bradley and Daddy cleaning the cars. She also inspired them to vacuum out the cars. :)

Bradley was such a good helper. He stead with Andy all day and worked really hard.

I love my clean car!!

Bradley playing with bubbles afterwards.

More bubbles...
