Family Picture!

Our stake is having a temple fireside at the end of April and they are asking for pictures of every family at the temple. So our ward set up times for the families in our ward to go over and have someone take the picture. The sun was sort of in our faces...but I think for having two fidgety kids and too bright of sun this turned out pretty well.

Today's pictures

I have been doing less than great lately with picture taking. So we broke the camera out so the grandparents can see how big the girls are getting. There are VIDEOS at the bottom. I am always a little bit nervous to post them because I hate hearing myself on them. But I wish I took more videos of the girls. Because I know all too soon they won't be so little and I won't remember these days if I don't have some actual video along with the pictures...

I also recently have straightened Isabelle's hair a few times...hard to believe how long it is in the back!!

Look at this serious face!! LOVE it!


I also love her ONE, tiny dimple.

MMmmmmMM. slobbery kisses from Izzy. Her kisses are always pretty wet...
Making time for daddy :)




When I look at Riley...I can't believe how old she looks. SAD!!!


I know I ask Izzy what she is eating twice....but I like the way she says Macaroni and Cheese. I think our girls pronounce a lot of things pretty well/clear. And I am always amazed at what they sometimes come up with to say. For example, a couple months ago when I was getting Isabelle dressed, I put her pants on her and she said "Oh! You're a good helper, Mommy!" I really need to start writing these things down somewhere. Because my memory is TERRIBLE. (sorry if I told that story about me being a good helper in a previous post...I can't remember!)

Just putting it out there, I don't normally serve Mac n cheese for dinner (it's more of a lunch thing) but we were busy today and mom failed to prepare! Girls didn't seem to mind!

Also, I took another, longer clip of Riley that wouldn't upload...it is a little too big of a file. :P

I cannot keep up!

I can hardly believe that we are two full months into this year already. Where is time going? Why do I seem to have less and less of it?! It's just not fair!

Here are the latest happenings around here.

One afternoon the girls were watching a movie and this is how I found Isabelle, passed out on Riley.



We took the girls to their first BYU basketball game where they fell in love with Cosmo, the cougar mascot and got to yell for the cougs. "GO COUGARS" !!!! Having fun watching some basketball

Impossible to get them both to cooperate for photos still. Blah!

Izzy sleeps. Any time, any where if she is bored enough.


We don't let her stay in weird/uncomfortable positions. We will find her, take the photo-op and then move her to her bed. I just love pictures of our girls sleeping. They are so peaceful and perfect :)


Oops! Woke her up that time. :)


On February 8, Riley got her first ever hair trim. I had never trimmed her hair in her almost 3 1/2 years of life. And while Riley did try it once herself (back in September) it wasn't enough to count as a haircut!
Before
Getting ready to lose a few inches

Fresh, clean ends! Love it.
The above photo was Before the hair cut.

Izzy is not so fond of having her picture taken...

Riley hiding her face
But what a CUTE face it is!

My sweet friend Rachael helped me make this magnet board for Riley's room. YAY for taking up some space on the MASSIVE pink wall. Also, check out the chair rail! That board is really centered on the wall. Sorry about the weird angle!

My dad visited for Valentine's weekend and this is the best picture I could get of him with BOTH of our girls. The individual ones of him with the girls turned out better





And of course, I don't want to forget to post that February 18th marked FIVE years of wedded bliss for this man and myself.


Yep, five whole years. And an eternity to go.
I LOVE HIM. and he puts up with me. somehow. :)
Lucky me.
