March already?

Has it really been over a month since my last post?  I am trying to promise myself that I will continue to keep up this blog as the girls get older.  My camera charger stopped charging about a month ago and I have been to busy with life to take it in. Maybe I will put it on the list for Saturday.  Here are some fun pictures from the past few weeks that I snapped on my phone.

 Joe and Olivia are getting some cuddle time in.  She is most likely trying to hide from the dog.  We love Bailey but her puppy attitude get to be a bit much for the girls.

 Bailey is looking cute and growing up fast.  This was her 4th week at puppy school.

 She just wants treats!

 Olivia and Audrey got a treat after haircuts a few weeks ago!

 I move chocolate!

 Smiling for the camera!  Gummy bears and nerds are her favorite toppings!

Two Smiling Girls...Finally

Audrey's school wrapped up their summer program this week.   Tuesday was backwards day, Wednesday was pajama day and Thursday was costume day. Audrey was very excited to dress up as Snow White (again) and I was happy that her costume still fit her.  She looked so happy before going to school that I had to snap a picture.  The next thing I know Olivia walked on over and wanted to pose with here sister.  This is the first picture that I have of the two girls standing up next to each other.  TOO CUTE. I am sure you noticed that Olivia is toting her baby doll- still. 

Last night as I was putting Audrey to bed I saw Olivia in this pose.  It did not look too comfortable, but so cute I had to take a picture.  

Audrey in disguise

I picked up Audrey from school this afternoon and I could not find her.  She was in disguise along with all of her classmates and teacher Jose.

I asked her to pose with her daddy when we got home.  She really is one in a million!  

Such a big girl growing up more each day.  Last night after her bath I gave Audrey her first manicure and pedicure.  She loves her red nails and was a little confused when it would not wash off.

Fun times in February

The past month has been a whirl wind. At least one of the girls was sick every day in the month of February!  But we still managed to have some fun in between the coughing, sneezing and all of the rain!  Olivia is now 10.5 months old and will be celebrating her first birthday soon!  Audrey is now acting like the typical 2.5 year old.  Some days are better than others....  Audrey drives me crazy, but is too cute at the same time. She enjoys playing at the park, singing ring and the rosy, and is beginning to play house with her dolls.  Olivia is so different from her older sister in so many ways that I look forward to what she can do tomorrow.  She is getting 6 teeth in at the moment!!  A big girl now she is sleeping in her crib with her sister all night long. It felt great to pack up the crib that was living in our front room for the past 10 months.  Joe and I have a bet going on weather Olivia will be walking by her first birthday.  I think she will be!

 

Last weekend we went to the Huntington Gardens in San Marino. It is a large, beautiful open landscape  where Audrey can run around and explore the great outdoors.  She loves the Chinese gardens where the ducks, and koi fish live.  Here is a picture of Olivia that I took while we were enjoying the sun playing on the grass

 

 Here is a picture of my two princesses!  Audrey insisted that they both dress up last week.  Audrey enjoyed playing music on her jukebox and began dancing around with mommy and daddy.  Olivia tried to join in but will need to wait a month or two until she is standing on her own.

A ham for the camera, Olivia is so much fun!

 

Audrey went outside to play in the rain. She ended up pretty wet and dirty, earning a ticket straight into the bath tub.

 

Olivia has decided this past month that she enjoys eating  food straight off the table.  No more "baby" food for her!  On Saturday night she enjoyed a meal of homemade chicken enchiladas that her daddy made.  Yummy!

 

Here is proof that Audrey is a happy girl and she does smile!!!
