Dress Up Fun

There is a new Sheriff or two in town. Law breakers beware.

Swim Class Success!

As promised, here is one of the pictures from Ashtyn's first swim class session! It was a two week class, Monday-Thursday. It started at 11 am, so that gave us just enough time in the mornings to still relax, eat breakfast, get dressed and ready and go. (we don't do early mornings here.) She loved it, did wonderful from day one and today received her progress report moving her onto the next level-- Level 2-A. We aren't going to sign up for the next 2 weeks but will definitely try and sign her up for at least one more session this summer.

Matching Outfits

They were so absolutely beautiful on Saturday in their matching little outfits.

There probably wasn't a person at either graduation party who didn't comment on their cuteness!

?????

I thought the girls went to bed tonight like angels....well I guess in their own way they did, because I never heard a peep out of them from the time I left their room at 7:45 pm. (yes, that is early, yes the sun is still shinning, I don't care: Emersyn was up wanting to "watcha movie" at 5:30 am! And they don't complain.) So I check on them before turning in myself and not only does Emersyn have the one book she went to bed with but now she has two more!

They both know if they get out of bed and are silly and wild, there will be trouble. But someone must have gotten out of bed to get 2 more books and someone else must have decided it is better not to tell mom that her sister is out of her bed! Which is which, I can only speculate and weigh whether it is worth it to ask Ashtyn in the morning, How did Emersyn get these 2 extra books in her bed? As much as I am curious and really just think its funny and would love to know, this is little secret I will let the sisters have between themselves.

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day!! These girls love their Daddy, and so does their mom!!

Today's Kid Quote

Ashtyn was balancing on a pair of my taller sandels. When she was done, she turned to me and said, "Isn't it great how God made our bodies to move?"

Yes, I said, really great.

Pictures of swim class coming soon...

Sleepy Girl

They call her sleepy Mer sometimes too!

Feed Me, Feed Me!

Brock Ansel's advice on how to teach your niece about Capitalism:

Get her a piggy bank that loudly says, "Feed Me, Feed Me!" in a high pitched tone every time you touch it's tail UNTIL you put money into it's coin slot.

Beautiful, unless you live in the same house with this future little CEO.

Imagine getting chased around the house by this little cutie. You will quickly go broke. I actually had to take my change collection to the bank yesterday so that she and her little friend don't gobble it all up!

True story.

How did she know??

Brandon was getting ready to head out of town for a few days. Before leaving, he asked me, is there anything else he can do for me before he leaves. No, not really I say. Ashtyn says, "You could help her clean up the kitchen!" Which by the way, was a huge dirty mess. Of course, Brandon took my wonderful 4 year olds suggestion and washed a big load of dishes by hand. She is a bit introspective, wouldn't you say? Another example, from the same day...

She tells Daddy, "Mommy is better at sleeping than you." So true. And I am going to take it as a complement.
