like mother, like daughter

Emma loves cupcakes. LOVES them. So, when I saw a shirt with a huge cupcake on it, I knew it would be a perfect summer dress for her. I absolutely love how it turned out, and she asked to design one for Olivia too so her daughter could be just like her. You can't really tell, but the sleeves have polka dots on them. Such an Emma dress. Once both dresses were done, we took her baby Olivia to the park and they spent an hour racing down the slides. So funny! My little daredevil Macie spent the hour tring to climb up the hardest way she could.

Fancy fancy

The girls recently discovered that they can reach the hair bows... and one day they decided to use them ALL. Macie came out saying "I fancy, mama! I fancy!"

Mr Miles

The girls have started calling Miles "Little Mr" and I think it may stick. So, here is Mr at 6 weeks old.

Bear World

I have been enjoying lots of time with my kids and less at the computer, but I'm trying to catch up on what we have done in the last 6 weeks with my handsome little guy!Nick's brother came up to visit and we spent the day at Bear World.

I have to admit, I was a little hesitant to go, but it was so worth it! We let Macie pile in Grandma Jane's car with the other girls & kept Emma & Miles with us. Because you drive about 5 mph through the park, Nick let Emma do the driving. It was neat for the girls to see some wildlife close...but I think the wildlife highlight was when a bear climbed on top of Grandma Jane's car full of girls!Macie had a blast at the petting zoo! They also had some rides- Macie loved every minute and Emma wasn't quite as impressed. After nearly two hours of rides, we had to drag Macie away screaming! Thankfully it didn't last long, she was so worn out from playing she fell asleep two minutes after we buckled her in the carseat.

And... to prove I was there:

It was chilly so Miles and I hung out in the car after his snack for a while to warm up. Love family days like this!

just because...

stripes match stripes.

Easter Egg Hunt

Savannah and kids are up this weekend and we met up in Driggs for the Easter Egg Hunt - so much fun! Nick and Miles stayed home together and I took the girls.

Pre- egg hunt: When Emma is feeling super shy, she covers her ears. This is totally typical Emma. Rylee has decided Grandpa rocks. I agree. Savannah's big kids after the egg hunt comparing loot. Yes, there was snow on the ground. Why do I live here? I love Emma's choice for hair bow placement - she picked the two biggest flowers and stuck them right on top.

We had a great time and even walked away with some yummy cinnamon rolls!
