Swimming Fun

We went with our moms group to Five Points in Washington for preschool swim and a snack. The girls had a great time!!

It was such a nice warm day out we could finally break out some spring clothes.

Sierra had a wardrobe malfunction and ended up swimming in a onesie and little swimmer. It all worked out in the end, though.

Haddie loved being a big girl with her floaties.

Sierra played with some of the water toys.

It was a great morning and the girls both took wonderful naps!!

Face Painting

Haddie went to a Rivermen Hockey game with her aunt Reatha on Sunday. They had all sorts of games for kids, including face painting, so here is our little kitty!

She was so excited to have her face painted and did not want to take it off at night. We took pictures so she could see it whenever she wants.

Sunday morning photo opportunity

Before church I took some pictures of the girls. It was really sunny so Haddie is pretty washed out.

They both loved wearing Haddie's sunglasses. She was very generous sharing them with her little sister.

Not sure what to think...

Christmas with the Giffords

The girls got adorable coordinating umbrellas from grandma and grandpa. They were so excited!

Haddie loves to play with hers.

Heather showing off her engagement ring to Melissa. They got an antique emerald ring. It is beautiful and so her.

Sierra liked the boxes just about as much as the presents!

Christmas with the Ulrichs

Haddie & Sierra got matching Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber shirts from their Uncle Brandis. He got them in the smallest size they had, but we will probably be using them as nightshirts for a while. The girls loved their cabbage patch kids dolls and Sierra was so happy to receive her baby carriage. She loves taking care of her dolls.

Haddie posed with her new dress up set from Grandpa & Grandma. She is such a cheeser!

Here is the cabbage patch doll again.

The next morning we had to try on our dress up clothes again. You can't see it very well, but she is even wearing the clip on earrings. What a fancy girl. She thinks heels are pretty tough to run in, though!

Water babies

The girls both loved the water park and it was built just for them. I had to include some pictures even though the lighting is weird in some. I was having some camera issues. There was a zero depth entry and lots of toys that were just their size. Haddie is being cheesy by the teeter totter in the water.

Sierra wasn't too sure at first.

Playing in the fountains.

There was a big frog slide that the girls could actually do all by themselves. They liked to sit together and see who would slide down first.

This picture is small, it came from my moms camera, but there was a bigger waterslide too that we took the girls down. It was a ton of fun for all of us.

Wisconsin with the Giffords

We went to Wisconsin with my parents for a week and it was super fun. The guys got out and skiied for a couple of days. The girls were too young but they had lots of fun back at the lodge and at the mini water park in our hotel. It was lots of fun. They even loved the locker room!

One day I actually had trouble getting them out of the lockers to go to the pool. Go figure!

Sierra's hair is getting so long! Time for a trim.

Grandpa, aunt Melissa (expecting in March for anyone who didn't know), and Haddie got bundled up for a walk in the snow. She is so excited that her mittens have thumbs because she is a big girl! Sierra's are just one big mitten.

We found all sorts of creative places to nap. Haddie didn't really sleep in the drawer, but I did think it was very cute and creative.
