Mimi

Julie's lovey, Mimi:
I had to do a little surgery on this poor cat's face. Julie comforts herself at night by sucking on her nose!

Mascara Like Mommy

Its a Sunday morning. Need I say more? I am trying to get the girls and myself dressed up and ready for church. Dave had to leave early so its just the three of us. Julie is dressed and ready until her diaper leaks and I have to change her. Lizzie takes this opportunity to play with Mommy's makeup. And so I head into the bathroom and this is what I find:

First Day of Preschool

Lizzie and Josh on their first day of preschool together.


We started these kids in the two year old class together this Fall. (They both just missed the 3 year old class cut off.) It was a Mommy and Me class so Mary and I started out taking turns going to class while the other one watched Lucy and Julie. However, it soon became clear that Lucy is not quite ready to be away from her Mommy! Because of this, among other reasons, Lizzie and Josh just had their last day of preschool this week. They had fun but they actually still have three years to attend preschool so I think we will try it again next Fall, and this way she won't be so bored of it by the time she reaches Kindergarten!

Local Fun

This picture brings back great memories for me. Almost every Wednesday we would head to the local farmers market and stock up on the fresh produce and other healthy goodies! The afterwards they hold concerts in the park, overlooking the water. This picture of Lizzie was during one of those performances. Lizzie was attached to her sunglasses all summer long!

11 month old Julie

Its kind of fun to post these pictures from when Julie was 11 months because it wasn't that long ago and she looks so tiny! Just the fact that she is in crawling position makes me smile because she is so far beyond that now! She is a fast runner too.

The relationship between Dave and Julie is adorable. She gets so excited, bounces, then runs to the garage door when she hears Daddy coming in from work.

Dave always treats his little girls like such princesses its no wonder they love him so much!

Puyallup Fair

The Puyallup Fair was very entertaining to the girls this year.

Fun Shows

Lizzie's first fair ride.


And of course the animals were a favorite!

Hangin Out

Brooke came over in a black and white striped shirt and Lizzie wanted to match so they were twins for a day.

Thats a lot of kids on one couch! I was doing some babysitting and they were all lined up on the couch so cute I had to get a picture.
