These are the days

(sorry about the double) So one day the girls were playing in the curtains and I grabbed a few shots of them. Doesn't Maggie look so cute and grown up? She is a big girl! Don't be tricked though, she isn't as sweet as she looks in this picture. Like this morning as soon as I parked the car at the gym, she had horrible meltdown and I had to come home bc she wouldn't be consoled. But, most the time she is a sweetheart!

Where o where has my little girl gone??

At the end of the day and Kenny s actually here when I go to bed I give him a run down of all the crazy things the girls did that day. Believe me, there is always a lot! He said I should put them on the blog, so I thought I would mention some. So, today we finally got out the door to go to church and Olivia wriggled out of my arms and ran over to a ball on the lawn, and Maggie took off running down the street. I mean running as fast as she could in the opposite direction. Then olivia climbed on the neighbors tricycle which was covered with water. Needless to say she got all wet and we had to go back inside.
Speaking of Maggie running away.... We went to Bed Bath and Beyond yesterday, and Maggie did pretty good- until the end. I was in te chekc out line and she found a patio set, which was okay becuase it was right behind out line. So i kept an eye on her while I was waiting in line. She loves to sit on chairs in the store. ( and she LOVES to get in the beds. She did this at IKEA. She takes off her shoes and climbs into the big fluffy cumfy beds and pretends she is asleep) So at the the checkout when it was finally my turn, I turned my head for less than a minute and I looked back and she was gone!! How does she disappear so quickly??? So the entire staff was using their walkie talkies and searching for her. After I did a lap around te store some lady had her in her arms!! WTH?? Luckily people are so nice and helpful!! I need to always use the leash. Yes I have a leash for my dauhter, after all, she does BEHAVE like an animal sometimes!!
She runs away all the time, but usually not at the park. I was looking forward to the ward BBQ at the park. I thought it would be great, the kids would play and I could talk to some friends. Yea right!! I couldn't turn my attention away, or sit down, because they were both running away, like really far away. I sat down for a sec, and I couldn't find olivia. I finally saw her across the field at the other pavilion stealing some mexican guys basketball. She was making her way to the tables when i got to her. Olivia covered herself in water and mud while I got food. She spilled water all over her shirt, she ran around shirtless for the rest of the time.
But the clincher is this. Maggie was sitting next to me at the table. She got off and ten seconds later I couldn't see her. So ran to the park, I found olivia, but where o where has my little girl gone?? Ahh, there she is- she ran in to the tennis courts and chased the guy with the tennis racket around on the court. The site of it made me laugh so hard I peeed my pants. Some ladies showed up asked if she was mine. They found her in the PARKING LOT!!
This is why my favorite time of day is bedtime!!!!!

Girls first easter egg hunt!!

It has taken me a long time to post our easter pics, sorry. I'm sure that you were anticipating them. Well, it was fun doing our first easter egg hunt. I had so much fun doing this as a kid, (thank you mom for taking us easter hunting) Mom used to drive us to a couple of the grocery stores and we would load up on candy. You got to love Utah!! We went to Smiths, which is my fav grocery store! They just dumped a shopping cart full of candy in the aisle and let the kids go. At first the girls just stood there and watched, then they both picked up a sucker and started eating it. They finally figured out what was going on!! They got sooo much candy too. There was hardly even a crowd!!
We jettted over to the Orem rec center right after smiths(and I regretted it). It was freezing cold that morning, and they only got two eggs! We saw Cynthia and Kaylee for a sec that was cool. The funniest thing about that hunt, was as I sat in traffic lined up to get into the parking lot all these kids were jumping out of cars and running towards the field with their easter baskets. The anticipation is almost more fun than the actual hunt!
Sunday morning the girls woke up to their easter stash and tons of candy ( I bought way too much candy) They didn;t really get the hunt. I should of set up the picture hunt that I planned on doing. Kenny ssaid it would be too confusing, but I would have worked. They got tutu's and books and chalk and a beach towel, and The princess and the frog(which I got for a good deal with coupons) They had a fun morning!
The best part was conference, and then of course the yummy ham and potatotoes we had for lunch and dinner!

My Little Maggie

How did I end up with such a girlie girl? She loves dresses! especially twirly ones, and she changes outfits at least three times a day. We were at our friends place, John and Lora, and she did a photo shoot with her nice camera. Maggie was hamming it up for sure. Lora let maggie wear this poofy skirt which we had to tie up so it would stay on. She is starting to talk now. My baby is growing up !!

Olivia's hair

Olivia rarely lets me do her hair these days. However, she was distracted so I got a ponytail on! Normally her hair hangs over her eyes and she tilts her head up to see. It is disheveled to say the lease. She is a little rascal for sure, she gets into everything, especially things she isn't supposed to! Pictured here, she found my toiletries and enjoyed pulling everything out and dispesing it all over the house!
