Getting better at the splash park!

So the Girls are total girly girls and don't like to get into the cold water at the park. Slowly over the course of the summer we have been working on getting them to go down the slide. However this might take the rest of the summer to get them to enjoy it, we have gottan them to at least play in the water and get wet while still having fun!

4th of July

Ohh to be a kid again!

Okay so I am totally not the cool mom I want to be because I am still not good at coming up with fun things to do everyday. I swear we do the same thing over and over everyday. I am not surprised that the girls get bored, I get bored. But when my mom came out I remembered how to just make it up as you go. This is just a picture of the girls getting turned into a mummy together and then they attempted to walk. Suddenly looking at this picture again I thought of three legged races and running with spoons in the grass. Nobody tells you that when you become a mom you also have to become a game specialist! But keeping two toddlers happy and excited day in and day out you must be able to come up with a new game at least 2 times a week.

So to all moms out there thinking I am bored too... lets all just try to come up with at least one new game every two weeks and then SHARE so we all don't die of boredom. I mean I love hide and seek but after playing for a year there just aren't any new places to hide.

All dressed up!

After church we actually got a few pictures of everyone in their Sunday best! The best is that we got a few pictures of Brian and I which never happens!

Jackson Hole

Saturday we went to Jackson Hole. The girls had a blast and it was nice to get out of Rexburg for the day. Here are some of our highlights!

Running around with Grandparents

The girls and I loved to have Grandma and Grandpa here because we actually got out of the house and did stuff all the time. The girls love the park and are even warming up to the splash park these days. Anyways the girls had a blast running round while having Nana and Papa tell them how cute they were. They went into show off mode for sure! It was cute and we had a blast. As for Grandma and Grandpa, I think they finally realised why I sound exhausted every time they call. Girls this active wear you out. I can't imagine having boys!

Happy Birthday Isabel!!!!

Isa had her 2ND birthday hence the random trip from my parents! It was a small party just family and her best friend Addi. Seriously besides Layla this is her best friend in the whole world. It really is fun for me because I remember being little and having my best friend Mary. We were seriously the same. We spend all our time at each others houses pretty much EVERY DAY! I really hope that they remember this time once we have all moved on from this stage in life and move out of Rexburg. As much as I want to leave and go to a bigger city and be closer to my family I am happy we are here cause I love that the girls and me have such wonderful friends just a dozen steps away!

The girls decided that opening presents was more of a group effort so they all worked together to open the present from the Clews Family. Needless to say it is a present for all and man do they use it. The girls have dancing time everyday when they just twirl around in princess dresses pretending to be at a ball. The music is driving me nuts but it is fun to watch them in their own little world.

Like the pretty cake, that would be a wonderful homemade cake... yeah right! This was a no stress party so this cake is complements of Broulims Grocery!

What do you remember?

This is a fun tag that allows me to share with all my friends meaningful memories we've had together! My friend had it on her blog and I thought it was great. So here are your instructions-

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Have fun reading all the cool things that people remember about you and sharing your favorite memories with your friends.

LOVING PAPA!!!!!

"It's always fun when Grandpa comes, when Grandpa comes Hooray!!!
He always says the kindest things and in the kindest way!He has a wrinkly, crinkly smile he's happy all the day!
It's always fun for everyone when Grandpa comes!"
The girls just love their Papa, almost as much as I love him. It was so great to spend time with my dad. The girls from the first moment were attached to his hip. And since he has left the song above (by the way those are words to a primary song) has been all they sing when we are outside playing! I can't wait until September to go out and see my parents in Kansas!!!!

Long awaited update!
