Our FIRST Picnic!

The weather was nice and we were a lil' cranky...so Mom took us out in the front to play.  We played with our "big girl" chairs and table..which we had never played with before.  It was SO fun to it in them.  Brooke can get up and down with no problem...Ashlee can't quite figure it out yet...but gave it her best effort!   We were in such great moods from being outside...Mommy decided we could just have a picnic!  Our FIRST picnic!!  It was so fun!!  Then we played a little more, got in our swings, threw the ball for the dogs, and then came inside to nap!  What a great spring day!!

Prison Escapee...


Brooke is walking and climbing everywhere!!  She has learned how to dump out the toy crate, turn it upside down, and use it as a step!!  I caught her in the act!!  She did not make it over...but I think with a little more tries could have. 


Looking up to the heavens!!


Enjoying another one of God's beautiful days....



Spring is on it's way...


Late February we had some great "spring-like" weather!  Some of the flowers started to pop and I took the girls out to play in the leaves, flowers, grass, dirt,etc.  It was a pretty day outside and the girls love being outside.  Now if ONLY we could get some rain and some soft green grass for them!!

Taking a break to laugh on the bench!

"ring around the tree.."

Mommy..that sun is SO bright! 

What is this thing??

Trip to Smiley....February 2011

I think it's been almost a month since I posted...so you will see a ton of new posts all of sudden in the next coming days.....  IF I can get around to updating!

We went to see Granny, Poppy Cows, Uncle Glen and Gigi back in February.  We had a great time! 
Below are some highlights of the girls trip...

We LOVED our wagon walks! The weather was great.

Poppy Cow's heifers are very friendly...and they thought we were feeding them each time we took the red wagon out.  I am not sure what Ashlee is telling them here....probably to "go away!"

Note she has rocks in both hands..just in case she decides to get too close!

Brooke begin to offiically WALK when we were there!  Notice she was heading OUT the door...with her sister's pants in tow! She is everywhere now!!


We enjoyed our visit with Poppy Cows and Granny.  It's so fun to be in the country!


We went out to check the cattle a few mornings in the truck...it was SO fun to ride around the bumpy pasture and see the cows!  We also enjoyed hanging out the window and looking in the mirrors!


Ashlee realized she could see herself in the mirror..this was priceless!!


We played with trucks and planes....who says they are just for boys!



When we could not go outside...we would look and talk to the cows thru the window or out on the porch.
(Note...Ashlee IS FINALLY getting so hair!)
