Sick Baby

Daddy and Brytlee
Brytlee loves to play with Alexis's pom poms.
This is right after she got out of bed if you can't tell by the crazy hair and the pjs. This is such a funny smile.
Ryan took a ton of pictures of her because she was being so funny and kept saying cheese...
Brytlee got sick Saturday, and has been throwing everything up. Ryan didn't feel very well also, so we had a fun weekend....
This is not normal for her to just hang out and fall asleep on anyone. She is such a mover, and loves to just run and play. So you can tell she is not feeling well....

Going Private...

I have thought about it for a long time....and really don't want to do this.... but I have three cute girls... and I would rather be safe than sorry! So we are going private with our blog.. I am sad because it has helped me get in touch with some old friends that I wouldn't have know how to find other wise, BUT... I just think it is the right thing to do. So if I you would like to stay apart of our blog, please let me know. I think I have to have your email address?
Thank you
Jill

Baby Animal Days

We went and visited the Western Heritage Center - Farm this weekend, and it was the baby Animal Days... The girls were really excited to see all the little baby's and it was really packed... I was really surprised to see so many people out to see a farm!
Alexis loved the chicks and ducks! She really wanted to take one home.

Elizabeth was also in love with the chicks and ducks!


She didn't know what to think of this bird... it wasn't the cutest and kept looking at her funny! You can tell she didn't want to hold it to close!

Pony ride!

The girls were able to see what a REAL turkey looked like and sounded like! They enjoyed chasing it around!
Brytlee was funny with all the baby's, she kept getting down like this, and talking to them in her language. She wasn't scared of anything, and wanted to ride all the animals big or small, (she kept climbing on them)
baby pigs

Baby goats.. She could talk to them, they would do the baaaa, and she would do it right back!
baby bunny
baby buffalo... (notice it has a little horn) Brytlee went over to touch it, and she tipped over and bonked her head right on the horn! Ouch
Alexis is giving her sister loves... Elizabeth was sad and crying, and big sister was making it all better.
We got the Cadillac out for the girls, and Brytlee loves it! She just hangs out and wants the girls to drive her around!
She is yelling for someone to driver her!
Elizabeth is just getting the hang of it! She is a pretty good driver, (considering she is only 3)

Spring break

We had a fun spring break with Alexis out of school! I was wanting to get some extra sleep, but do you think we ever slept in? ??? No
I took the girls on a date and they were so excited! We watched "Horton hears a Who" and they really liked it. They were so happy when they saw the Theater had Dip'n Dots, which is their favorite ice cream.
Jex and Mia had a birthday party at Leo's place, and the girls had a great time!
Brytlee was going crazy in the padded area, and wanted to go down the slide... I wanted to hang out with the adults and chat, but she kept running to the play area!

We went to the pool with Annette's kids and my mom. Now that my girls know about the swimming pool, I don't think we will ever be able to go to see my family, and not go swimming! They already have green hair.


This is Karsten going down the slide!Alexis getting really mad at me because I wouldn't take her floaty swimming suit off!
boo hoo
Lizzy loves the kiddie pool, and it is hard to get her to go into the big pool! She is such a chicken.... but that is alright with me.

Summer and Brytlee hanging out in the hot tub! Is there anything better than a bahba and hot water? (hey Emily, you can't really tell, but she has on the same swim suit that Ava has) (so cute)

Alexis really likes to go under the water, and dive! She finally complained enough to get me to take her floaty swimming suit off of her, and she loved it. Having three kids in the water is scary, and so I really like the safe swimming suit, but she did great, and swam like a fish! I didn't get any pictures of her with it off because the battery in my camera died...
We set a record for swimming for 5 hours strait.

Easter Dresses

We had the girls pictures taken in the Easter dresses, (that didn't match or go together at all... ) I don't think they turned out that great, and they had a hard time getting them all to look at the camera.


Brytlee is holding a number one... She couldn't stop chewing on it!
This is a birthday cake with a number one on it. She wanted to chew on that one also
