4 new blogs!!!

I just wanted to let you all know that I posted 4 blogs tonight... Thats right...4!!! So, look at them all and enjoy them all... 2 of them even have videos! :)
Leave me some comments and let me know you saw them!

On a more serious note... for those of you who read my blog that aren't family... my cousin, Adam, is having some problems with his heart. He was born with some heart problems... I will spare you the details, because I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly what heart condition he has... all I really know is not all of his chambers are the same size and something with his valves is off (see... I don't really know)... anyways, he is in the hospital with some new heart problems. His heart is beating too fast... I don't know all what is going on, but I know its not good. So if you could put him on your prayer list that would be great... just pray that his heart will be healed...
Thanks!
And enjoy the blogs! :)

Day at the park!

So, on Mondays I watch Maren's little girl, EmJ. Even though the girls all get along really great, it is way easier to get out of the house... so that is what we did today. We enjoyed some great weather and went to the park! It was so fun. All 3 of them had a great time!

Chloe was the one that had the most fun... there are these spinning things that she loves at this park... its the only park I have seen them at and she really does love them. So I got some cute pictures of her and a video...

Ireland and EmJ had a great time too... so, of course, I threw some pics of them in here too!

Hopefully tomorrow we will go back! Love spring time!

Papaw's "pretty" toes....

*Warning* .... if you have any weird foot phobias... this blog contains Papaw's bare feet... just so you know!

Ireland got some toenail polish for Easter and was dying to paint someones toes... Mommy and Nana weren't brave enough to let her... but good ol' Papaw was! What a good Papaw!!!

The concentration was amazing! Ireland was so careful and did a great job! Let me tell you what... Papaw just loves his new toenails! Please enjoy the pictures. :)

Papaw gets the "Papaw of the year" award for sure!

The finished product! Very nice for a first time job I think! :)

Here is a video of Ireland painting away. You can see how serious she was about it! Papaw and Chloe are watching a bike race in the background... that is what the yelling is all about! :)

I hope the video works! Its my first time posting one!

Happy Easter!

Here are som pictures of Easter morning. The girls were so excited in the morning! So I got some really cute pictures of them first thing. I didn't get too many pictures of them finding their eggs... it was kind of hard to get good pictures. But they were really stoked about their Easter baskets so I got some pretty fun pictures of that... and please excuse the "morning hair" becasue there was no way I was going to get them to sit still long enough BEFORE they went to the living room to get their stuff! So, just ignore Ireland's crazy and annoying hair in her face! :)

They could hardly keep it together! They were bursting at the seams with excitment!

Comparing "the goods"

Chloe got this candy unwrapped before I even noticed... so instead of telling her that she couldn't eat candy at 7:30 in the morning... I took a picture! Just this one time! :)

So, this is kind of 2 blogs in one... below are pictures of the girls in their pretty dresses and hair actually done! They didn't really do what I wanted... but we got some good pictures any way! They were very "loving" with eachother during our photo shoot... funny little girls!

Ireland is posing... weird... that is all I can say...

KISSES!!!!

I don't know about you... but I love, love, LOVE this picture! I think it is so precious!

Easter Egg hunt!

Our chruch had an Easter egg hunt on Saturday. It was really crowded but super fun. The girls really enjoyed themselves! We went with Maren, Jeff, and EmJ... so it was fun to spend sometime with them.

I didn't get a load of pictures because it was so busy. But here are a few of the egg hunt and of the girls riding the ponies... which they LOVED! I was worried about Chloe, but she did great. No tears or anything! She actually almost cried when it was time to get off... so, enjoy the pictures!

Easter Eggs!

We dyed easter eggs last night. The girls had a lot of fun and did a really good job! I made them wear some if Papaw's gloves that he has to work on the cars... the gloves were big to say the least... but they made for some pretty funny picures! :)
Can you tell she was having a blast?!

This egg was her favorite one...
And this was Ireland's favorite one.

I hope you all have a wonderful Easter. And if you think about it, pray for all the soldiers that are over seas spending yet another holiday away from their familes... and that they can take some time to remember what Easter is all about! Much love to you all!

There is another new post under this one! :)

A day at the zoo for Papaw's birthday

Friday was Papaw's birthday so we got to spend the day with him. He took the day off and went to the zoo. The zoo wasn't really Papaw's idea, but we were going to REI after the zoo so it made it worth it... and Ireland really wanted to go to the zoo so it really wasn't up for discussion... Papaw is kind of wrapped around Ireland's little finger! :)

So here are the pictures of the day... Chloe did pretty good... acutally she did really good. A lot better than she has in the past... so that was really good!

We decided to rent a wagon at the zoo this time. The girls really loved it. It was the first time we had rented one and they now think that we will get one every time we go to the zoo... funny kids!

This is how Chloe started the day. Most of you probably remember the hippo incedent from this summer... she hasn't been the same at the zoo since that fateful day. But the hands over the ears only lasted a little while. She was really brave and actually looked at most of the animals! Good job for her. She said she was brave now because she is a 3 year old :)

Ireland had a blast as usual! She loved every part of the zoo... but what else is new!

We rode the train that goes around the zoo. This was another first. Chloe actually liked it. And of course Ireland did too.

Chloe was very curious about every part of the train.

Besides Papaw being silly in the background, I thought this was a cute picture! :) Ireland was so happy to be riding with Nana!

Ireland said that Papaw needed to ride the carousel because it was his birthday... and of course he did... and so did Nana... like I said, wrapped around her little finger! :)

Ireland said that this was her favorite part of the zoo... she loves the carousel!


Chloe usually doesn't like it. She won't even get on an animal by herself. But she did great this time! She wasn't scared (much) at all this time! And she didn't cry one little bit! She actually liked it and wanted to do it again! This made Nana very happy because she was begining to worry about how Chloe would be at Disney World in October. But this put her mind at ease... Chloe is finally getting over the hippo trauma! YEA!!!!


See... she really did like it! :)

All in all it was a really good day! And I think Papaw had a good birthday... of course he wished his other grandkids were there too... :)

WiiFit!!

My mom and dad just bought a WiiFit... They actually got it last night, but didn't set it up until this morning. Ireland was so excited to play it! For those of you who don't know what a WiiFit is... it is a blanace, yoga, cardio, game thing for the Wii... It has a lot of fun things to do on it like balance games, beginning yoga stuff, and hulahooping! :)

I couldn't help but take some pictures of Ireland playing it this morning! It was pretty classic! And please excuse our jammies... it really was first thing this morning! :)
Yoga with Nana... the Warrior Pose!

More yoga... the Half Moon pose.

Half Moon again...

This game you had to try and hit the soccer balls with your head... it is all about balancing and shifting your weight from left to right to get the soccer balls... Ireland needed a little help with this! :)

Ireland trying really hard to get her center of balance in the right spot!

Ireland had loads of fun! It was great to watch her!

Happy Birthday to Chloe!!!!

Sorry it has taken me so long to get pictures up of Chloe's birthday!! :) Better late than never! So here are some pictures of the birthday girl... not a baby anymore! I still can't believe she is 3! Wow!!!! Too old already!

Enjoy!

We started the day off at Tuesday Church... Chloe was so excited to share her cupcakes will all of her friends!

Ireland later that night about to enjoy her SECOND cupcake of the day! You know its a special day when I let the girls have 2 cupcakes!

Chloe waiting to blow out her candles while we sang to her!

She didn't make it to the end... but almost. She did pretty good!

The next few are of Chloe opening presents... I tried to pick the best ones... She was really excited and loved every present!
I think she has a good birthday! I hope you all liked the pictures!
