Patching Katie's pants April 2012

 Katie is hard on clothes. It frustrates me because I want Abi to be able to use them when she is bigger. Katie put holes in these pants a couple weeks after they were bought so I decided to patch them I think they turned out pretty cute and now Abi can use them in a year or so too!

Silly Girls April 2012

I love these girls they are so fun and silly. They are learning so much and are smart little ones, it's fun to watch them growing up. I will miss them being little!

Sisters! They love each other, and I love them!

Katie dancing! She's always a blur!!!

Abi, 1) Silly face! 2) She climbed up on the counter and got into the cupboard one day. 3)She likes cereal... Big Bite!
4) I love that girls cheeks, I just want to smoosh them!

Easter 2012

We had a fun Easter this year ...

Leading up to Easter we spent some time talking about the resurrection with the girls. I pray as the grow up they will have a good relationship with the Savior and their Heavenly Father, and that they will feel comfort when praying and repenting. I am so grateful for the sacrifice Christ made for each of us, although we may make mistakes we can repent and become worthy to return to our Heavenly Father and live as Families forever.
We enjoyed celebrating Easter and Springtime with Friends and Family....

Egg Hunt with Friends

Our friend Anmy had a fun little egg hunt for the kids. They had a lot of fun, Katie found the golden egg and was very excited! It was great to have a small egg hunt with just a few friends, the big community ones sound  like they are packed with people and crazy!

Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Nolans

The Saturday before Easter we had and egg hunt with the Nolan cousins. Yay for more candy!!! The girls had a great time with their cousins.

Easter Baskets

The Easter bunny knew the girls got tons of candy already so he brought them each a chocolate bunny but that was all for candy. They also got books, slippers, sidewalk chalk, notepads, and awesome sunglasses. Poor Katie had a terrible cold on Easter, then Abi had it the next week. That's how it goes around here.

Easter Dresses

I made skirts for the girls for Easter this year. Actually I made Katie's for her last birthday but added the bunny for Easter and I had enough fabric left to make a skirt for Abi too! 

The hair clips are from the Easter Bunny too!

Hair Cuts March 17, 2012

 Our girls don't have very fast growing hair so Katie had only had one hair cut a year ago and Abi had yet to get her first. We decided it was time to get their hair evened out. My sister in law Katie cut the girls hair, she is an awesome hair stylist and I feel so lucky to have her as part of our family!

 Katie before.

 Katie went first and enjoyed the attention of getting her hair done and being pampered a bit.

Abi's before pictures

 Abi on the other hand wasn't to sure about getting a hair cut. She had a pretty pouty face till the very end.

I love her little pink chucks sticking out from under the cape.

Here is an after picture of the girls. I know it's not very good but they would not sit still!

Thanks Aunt Katie for the hair cuts!

Mom and Dads 40th Anniversary March 11, 2012

Nov. 14th 1971 (my dads birthday) my dad proposed to my mom. Of course she said "yes" then she asked "When should we get married?" my Dad replied "I was thinking March 11th". Mom said, "Thats my Birthday!" He said "I know." I think my parents engagement is a funny little story. My siblings and I planned a little anniversary party just for them and their family. It was a fun evening. 

My parents cutting their wedding cake. The original faded version we had hanging up when I was a child.

The remastered version. The colors were done all wrong. The table cloth should be white the back ground green my dads suit black and the flowers and bows on the cake should be yellow.

My friend Kristin made this cake for the occasion. I love the wedding picture next to it.
