My Mom

My mom came for short visit. I love having her here. We got a lot dine. She helped watch my kids while I was at temple. We made apple sauce, canned apples and dehydrated some apples. Helped with primary and played the piano for a song the children sang in Relief Society. She always helps with dishes and cleaning up. Helped watch the girls and went everywhere with us.
Love you Mom!


*Elayna did not want to sit for the picture because she had dirty diaper. Don't blame her!

New Blankies/Softies

My mom brought a gift from aunt Cris for the girls. They love their new blankies. Elayna would not sit still for picture. She kept playing with her new blankie.

Awesome Day at Temple!

On Friday I spent the day at the temple with a wonderful family and friends. We are so happy for them.
This is what life is about and makes things easier with happy moments.

Grandma H. Reading to the Girls

My mom read to us all the time. She would read to my younger brothers and my brother and I as teenagers would end up in the room listening as well.
I am trying to read to my girls as well. They love going to library and we have a lot of books.
I think grandma H. read two or three books. The girls had a great time.

Naps and No Naps

Lilia takes a nap but Elayna refuses. I let Lilia sleep for about an hour and then she is good. If I can get Elayna to do the same she is fine as well. If Lilia does not take a nap she will fall asleep at dinner time at the table. It has happened and is amazing to watch. She can hurt herself as her head hits the table. We usually catch her or put her to bed and make sure she does not have food in her mouth. This has only happened a few times. Elayna us an energized bunny. She keeps on going and them crashes. She does not fall asleep in her car seat and prefers her bed.
Love our girls and their sleeping habits.

More Cousins....Smiles

My cousin Tami and her family came for quick visit. We had great time talking and visiting. The kids played together and my girls loved having cousins here.

Fancy Lilia and Fancy Elayna

One head band was not enough for these Fancy girls. They love reading Fancy Nancy books. I have two very Fancy girls, who are still in pajamas!

Walk with Grandpa

We went on a walk with grandpa and the cousins. We found walnuts and acorns along the path. The kids ran ahead on the path. When I called, "red light" they would stop and run back to give grandpa a hug and say, "we love grandpa".  Then they would run ahead on the path way again.

Sidewalk Chalk and Pink

We had a great time playing with the chalk. It was a nice cool afternoon. Notice I have a right handed and left handed girls. I was trying to cook dinner and still play with the girls outside. Pink is the color they fought over the most.
