Legos and Kitchen

So today we went through a bunch of the girls toys again and brought out some they haven't seen in a while and put away some that were no longer used. The girls had a blast! They seriously spent a good hour at each! That is amazing for them!

Time to eat!

I have the greatest kids!


A Job!

So last Saturday I got a very strange but amazing phone call! A lady at church called me up to see if I could watch her children in the mornings while her and her husband both had classes. I would start in 2 days and they would pay me. YAY!

So the strange part is, I knew who she was but she had NO idea who I was. She knows Christopher from choir but never met or heard about me. She was given a list of 5 people in the ward who might be willing to do it (stay at home moms), by the RS president. I was 5th on her list and by the sounds of things...also her last hope.

Anyway so now I watch her two boys for a few hours every morning M-Th. We started last week and Haylee and Rylee LOVE having friends come play everyday! If you go by "almost" ages...I basically have a 1, 2, 3, and 4 year old at home in the mornings lol. If you go by right now ages I have two 1 year olds, a 2 year old and a 3 year old. It is fun, but I am greatful they are not all mine that close together! hahaha!

Speaking of which...if Christopher and I kept up our streak of having kids 10 months apart...by now we would have a 2 year old, 1 year old, 11month old and 1 month old....how insane would that be? And my body would be no longer hahaha...thank goodness that didn't happen! I love my babies!

Anyway here are a couple pictures of the kids playing!


Playing on the floor


He is the only one who gets away with crackers and water on my couches

Everyone drawing

Playdoh, yes everyone is very good at smiling and looking at the camera....NOT lol (Rylee told me NO, and turned her head)

Visitors!

Ashlee and Lolo came to visit a few times since the holidays! We love it when they come over! Wish we could see Robbie more often too!
Haylee has her own versions of everyones names.
Robbie = Lob lob
Ashlee = Aah Aah
Lauren = Lolo or Baby Lolo

Rylee's versions:
Robbie = Robbie (yes she says this perfectly!)
Ashlee = Ashee (no L)
Lauren = Lolo or Baby Lolo

The girls absolutely LOVE Rob, Ashlee and Lauren!


Ashlee and Princess Lolo

We got cookies from my good friend Arika and they were a hit!

They loved frosting the cookies, putting M&Ms on them and then eating them off!

Haylee found the little 2 pound medicine ball and decided it would be fun to walk with it between her knee/legs! lol My girls are going to be strong!


Play time with the neighbors! The girls love having friends over!



We took the jogging stroller out to try and take pictures of it so we could sell it....this is how well that turned out!



MY papa

I was working on arranging my recipes so that I could find things easier and Haylee came in and I never got to finish, but that was okay. She was so sweet! She saw the picture on the front of my recipe book with a picture of her Great Grandpa Bob and Great Grandma June. She then proceeded to talk to her "papa" for almost an hour and every few minutes (sometimes seconds) she would say very sweetly "MY papa MY papa" and just stare at the picture. Then she would say "ma-mah, MY ma-mah"  (my grandma).

Rylee tried to come see and it took her a little convincing to let her sister look too. Then they both talked to papa and ma-mahs pictures. It was just so nice. So Grandpa Bob, these girls sure love you!

Haylee saying "MY papa"

Hayee talking to her papa and ma-mah. Look at that sweet face!



Both girls talking to papa! Haylee gave in and let Rylee see too. She was very protective of her picture!


I thought this was just too sweet not to post about! These girls sure love you Grandpa Bob!
