Two Babies ForSale!

Maggie's first time actually going potty in the toilet like a big girl!!



Olivia is a little climber, she'll climb anything! Me, the couch, drawers, toys. She climbs onto the tricycle and stands on it. She is an adventurous one.

These girls are such a handful! It popped into my head for second that I could post them on craigslist. Only kidding though. Now that they are napping they are fine.

let's get it on!

I walked into the living room and look what kenny did! He is so sly.
And our cute little valentine.
Her strawberry shortcake hat, I made it for maggie, but she won't wear it. Is there any child that will wear my handknits???

Happy Valentines Day

Maggie wears her heart on her sleeve;)
Cute little olivia, that was her first outfit today, she is now on her third one. Throw up and diarrhea ruined her other outfits.
Here is Maggie, stuck on the counter because she climbed up to get some fruit snacks and stick her fingers in the butter.
Maggie's hair is getting so long. I noticed it suddenly when she was taking a bath and rushed to get the camera. HOly smokes, she is getting big!

BUTTS!!! here we are watching my favorite show, can you guess what it is?
sitting in a basket- their favorite pastime. They dump out all the toys and sit in the basket. Why did we buy toys??
Olivia is showing off her mad sumersault skills!
cuteness.defined.
I love my tool belt!!

fun in the sun?

Maggie Maggie Maggie, why won't you let me dress you? Right now, even though it is cold outside, all Maggie wan'ts to wear is dresses! Dresses that twirl when she spins, that is the most important thing. I thought Maggie would be the tough one, but she is turning a new leaf with this girlie stuff. AND she loves to watch Strawberry Shortcake, she talks to it and sings along with it. Olivia on the other hand is the mighty one. She bullies Maggie all the time. She takes pens and toys and books from her, and maggie just cries!
Thank you so much Jeff and Bre for the awesome coats. As you can tell, Olivia loves her coat.


It hasn't snowed for a while, in fact the weather has been fantastic. We even played outside today for a while. But we did go sledding a few weeks ago before all the snow melted. It was a cold day, and Maggie wouldn't keep her coat or gloves on! So the look on her face is perfect, because she was freezing cold. I hope it snows again though, so we can play in it! And so that it clears out this awful polluted smog!

We are enjoying swimming at the Orem rec center. WE are taking a class, all three of us. AND Breana is in it too with cute little addlade. (sp?) We didn't eve plan that either. ALready olivia has improved and they just love it. Well, Maggie loves it more she never wants to leave and throws a tantrum every time. All the ladies in the locker room love her screaming. I would stay longer but olivia gets so ocld and shivers and her lips turn blue. So we leave when that happens.
We also found an AWESOME place to go swimming i n LEHI. It is the dream of any little kid. Indoor, heated to 92, slides, lazy river, TONS of fun stuff. So we will go there again.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!

Here are a few presents the girls got for Christmas.

Maggie got an easel for her painting. She also got an apron for painting that Cassie made for her.


Olivia got a rocking horse, the only problem is Maggie thought she would use it first.

Merry Christmas eve!

Maggie is getting to be a pro at opening presents with all the gifts she's received from everyone. Thanks everyone! It certainly feels like we are blessed and not wanting for anything, except to be WITH you guys (you know it). We love you all, and most of all we want to thank our Heavenly Father for the many gifts he has given us, including His Son Jesus Christ. We are children of God, and He loves us, and sent his son to die for us. Even though this year has had it's disappointments (our pets heads are falling off!) We are still so blessed. My husband is still working, thanks to Bob and Kris who are able to provide him a job. Our two beautiful girls are healthy and happy. Maggie though, still won't eat much of what we offer, she pretty much wants chocolate. She is starting to talk more and more. She likes to get on the toilet and talk about pooping , but hasn't done it yet. And she loves to wear underwear.
Olivia on the other hand is kind of a bully. When she was born, because of her long eyelashes I thought she was going to be a girlie girl. It turns out she is the tough one and maggie is the girlie. For example, Maggie runs and hides when we get the vacuum out, and cries when it gets close Olivia will chase after the vaccuum and try to climb on it. And olivia pushes on maggie all the time and Maggie sits there and cries. It's pretty funny.
Olivia is done with formula thank goodness, now we don't have to spend our life savings on that. Now we need to get Maggie out of diapers.....

Orem

p
Where did the name Orem come from anyway? Well we are here living in the freezing cold city of orem, utah. It's pretty awesome seeing the snow fall, it's been a while since I have seen that. It is weird living close to byu I get flashbacks every now and then. There is tons to do with the girls here so i like that. I think it is funny (and annoying) that I have to call and reserve a time slot at the the daycare at the gym. I went today without calling first and they turned us away. Maggie was not happy about that.
No swine flu yet, at least I think not. Olivia still has a little cough and sounds stuffy, but no fever. Everyone is getting it. I personally think it is a conspiracy by obama to scare everyone in to thinking they need government run health care. Health Scare!
We are getting into a new schedule now and the girls are doing good. Olivia is standing all the time! Pretty soon she will be walking. She does a cute little dance while she is standing it is so cute. And maggie is ready to go! She is a little sponge and is starting to say real words. Pretty soon we will potty train her too. Her favorite thing right now is jumping on our bed. And thank yhou shannon for the bumble bee coustume, but maggie will not wear it.
well, that's all for now
