Flower Girls

A couple weekends ago our girls got to be the flower girls in Kenny's sister's wedding. They didn't really know what was going on besides they got beautiful purple dresses and got to throw some flower petals. They looked gorgeous and now Ashley is in love with her dress and wants to wear it every week to church.

Ashley with a rare pose and smile. She's so cute!

Ashley getting very sleepy right before the wedding. (It was 2 o'clock. Right at nap time) She still did her part, then cuddled up on me and tried to go to sleep.

A little bit of everything

There are some fun pictures that we've taken the past few days that aren't really huge events, but a lot of little things. I thought I'd put them together for this post.

We think Emily is quite the little artist. This is her "bride girl" she drew. The bride has shoes on too, but this was the cutest picture of the bunch of Emily.

We are finishing our basement and Emily snuck into our under stairs storage area, put her bean bag chair in there and brought the portable DVD player inside and was watching a movie. This is how we found her and we just had to take a picture. :-)

A cute picture of my girls eating otter pops on our deck swing. They were just swinging with each other having a great time. It's a mother's dream. P.S. Kenny french braided Emily's hair that day and it turned out so perfect. You can see them if you look closely.

Emily and Ashley went to a birthday party on Wednesday that was pirate themed. They made pirate hats, sword, and searched for treasure (notice Emily's bounty--kaleidoscope and necklace). Ashley had the same things too, she just wouldn't stand still for the picture.

Sick girls

The bad news...my girls were sick this past week. The good news...at least I got a lot of snuggle time with them.

One day they both woke up before I went to school, but since they were still under the weather, they both fell back asleep. Make sure you look at the pictures below. Ashley fell asleep on the floor right next to our bed where we brought her into our room. Emily, however, fell asleep on a stair. She fell asleep about 8:30 and Kenny said she slept until 10:30 on the step the whole time and didn't move! She must have been tired!

The good news...they are feeling better. The bad news...Ashley is back to her mischievous self. Bring on the time outs! :-)

Lagoon

Last weekend, we along with my sister's family went to Lagoon. It for the most part was a lot of fun. Emily was finally daring enough to go on the Lady Bug drop and liked it. She LOVED the new ride, Jumping Dragon. (It's just like the music express, but it goes backwards too) Ashley however woke up with a fever that day and wasn't feeling quite herself. When we were eating lunch she threw up and while we were cleaning that up we decided to take her temperature again. It was 105! We quickly took her to the first aid station and the EMT's checked her out and were able to get the temperature down to 101. Ashley was then able to fall asleep for a little bit and felt a little better and even wanted to go on a couple rides after she woke up. We stayed for a little longer and overall had a fun day.

The Jumping Dragon ride

Riding the boats--always a favorite

Emily loves this ride and pretending to shoot at Daddy
