The girls are so excited to have a baby brother!!

Hopefully I can get some pics up soon of the ultrasound.

Happy Mother's Day

A Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mothers I know!!

Especially to my mom, sisters and mother in law!

I love you all and hope your day was wonderful.

Thanks to my cute girls and Levi for making my day so special.

I love being a mom...even though it is the hardest thing I have ever done.

I wouldn't trade it for the world:)

The Many FACES of Easter

Here are the girls on Easter Morning...aren't they cute in their jammie's with their bed head hair. I must say that kids totally make holidays more fun! I love the excitement and joy that comes out on their faces!!

The girls each got a basket full of candy and cute little baby's in a purse (I know that sounds wired so I might have to explain it better...its a purse that turns into a bassinet with a baby in it). Well they are a hit and have been a great toy for church!! Oh yeah Dad also splurged and gave them a set of golf clubs. I think he is nervous that we are only going to have girls, so this is his way of getting them into something he loves:) Such a cute dad!!

Audrey Lynn

Abigail Mckall

Here they are in their cute Easter Dresses... meaning two dresses each girl. I have the BEST mom and mother in law ever!!! They each sent these cute dresses for the girlies for Easter! The girls loved wearing them...we have been switching between the two on Sundays for the past few weeks. Thanks Grannie Terry and Grannie Frannie, we love you both so much!!

Aren't they lovely!!

For Easter Dinner we had some Law school friends invite us over for dinner and an egg hunt for the kids. It was so fun to visit and eat good food!! The kids again had a blast playing and hunting for eggs. We are so lucky to have such great friends here in Spokane!!

Easter weekend

We had such a fun weekend getting ready for Easter. The girls had a ball coloring eggs and making yummy rice crispy treats. The Ward had a fun Easter lesson and egg hunt on Saturday morning. It was great and indoor so it was warm! Abby did great in the relay races and both girls made it out with a TON of eggs!!

Happy Birthday Audrey!!

Audrey turns "2"

I can't believe my baby is 2...time goes by way too fast!

Audrey absolutely loved her special day! She knew from the minute she woke up that it was her Birthday!! We sang to her over 20 times due to her request. She LOVED her cake...it was hard to keep her away from it until the party. She wanted to lick it so bad!! Thanks to our friends and family for making the day so special!!

Minnie's Breakfast

This was a great morning for the girls...they didn't know what was going on. The characters just kept coming and chatting with them all during breakfast. Needless to say not much food was eaten. So fun to see the girls faces...it's magic!

Meeting the princesses

The girls loved this part! They were so excited to get their autographs and give them hugs.

Bell was so sweet, she spun around with the girls and made them feel like real princesses:)

Visit with Great Grandma

This last week we headed out for SPRING BREAK!! We went to Disneyland (pictures to come),but decided to take a detour on the way and see my Grandma, Uncle and cousins in Seattle! I can't tell you how glad I am that we went. It was so good to see Uncle Todd and his kids, Brett and his cute girlfriend Kristen and cute Jamie! They were so great and we had so much fun catching up with them. It has been more than 4 years since we have seen each other...that is way too long! Then we went to see my cute grandma...she is so cute!!! 89 years old and still wants to look good before any pictures! She has a hard time remembering who is who, but it didn't seem to bother her at our visit. She kept going over our names and kissing our little girlies. She couldn't get enough of Abby and Audrey! It was so cute how they just felt drawn to her, even though Audrey had never met her and Abby hasn't seen her since she was a year and a half old. Abby was showing her all her ballet tricks, (and of course Audrey had to join in) spinning and all. Then she was doing her ABC's and grandma joined in...it was so cute to watch them say them together. Abby kept correcting Grandma and helped her get all the way to Z. We had such a great time, when it came time to go...grandma started to cry and then I started to cry(we must be related). She wanted us to stay longer. She kept saying the worst part about this visit is that you have to leave. She was asking us when we were coming back and made us promise to come soon. She walked us to the door and it took me about 5 mins to get the door closed because she put her walker in the way... she really wanted to come with us! It was so good to see her!!

Grandma we will be back soon!!:) We love you and miss you already!

Letter of the Day

So in an attempt to keep the girls busy, and learning we started The Letter of the Day. The Letter of the Day entails learning a new letter, writing it and coloring a picture that starts with the letter, then reading some books that go along with the letter and the best part eating something that starts with the letter.

Here are some pics of our Letter "B" day

The girls colored little bakers and then we cut them out and glued them to toilet paper rolls

Then we made yummy Banana Bread, and read some fun books about Bakers
