I took the kids to the Tulip Garden a ThanksGiving Point. on the last day. And as usual the kids are not very good at doing what I say. So it's all about distraction and making something not seem like a pose but something that is fun. Like looking at the water, or flower. So I didn't get all the Tulip looking pictures that I wanted but I think I so interesting others that I wasn't expecting. Sorry there are a lot black and white pictures but I thought it look great. Anyways. Carring to crying kids with no stroller out of that place was a real adventure. I don't know how the pioneers did it really.

Pose.

How you doing?

I was lucky to catch this look. She does it sometimes and I think its so cute. Its totally Lucy.

Too tired

I was working on the computer and Emma got really quiet, so I knew that something was going on. And this is what I found. Poor kid.

Emma wanted to try on Helaman's bike helmet.

Emma and Lucy's Party

Emma and Lucy's party was so much fun. Of course everyone just wanted to eat their pizza and swim. But I don't blame them. When we got there Emma through a little fit becuase she just wanted to go swim. So we had everyone swim for twenty min. before then we ate, sang Happy Birthday while Lucy was sleeping. and opened presents. It was a success.

Easter pictures

Easter and conference weekend was really fun for us. Emma was so exited to go to the temple, (it's her favorite song too). But she was giving me such a hard time when it came to taking her picture. So I really have a few happy pictures. But some of the sad ones are funny too. Kids will be kids, so unpredictable. But you love them anyways.
Also Emma picked these dresses out when Helaman took her to the store. So of couse they get matching. You know growing up my mom would make me and my sister Deborah were the same clothes. Then when we got older Deborah hated it, and she didn't want to take baths whith me anymore. I guess it's all part of growing up. What's funny is that I'm doing it to my kids. ha ha!
The missionaries were also at the Temple in the hundreds so it was hard to try to take them out sometimes. But all in all I got some pretty good picutes I think.

Hello Everyone!

Emma and Lucy are turning into the best of friends. It is so great to see them interact with eachother. Although Lucy is trying to keep up with Emma she will soon. We have high hopes for our kids and are very proud of them. Emma sings the Alphabet with me, and can count to ten (but only when she covers her eyes like on Seaseme Street Journey to Ernie).
Lucy is standing up on her own but when it come to walking she has to hold our hand.
