Olivia

My happy smiley girl! We just got a jumperoo and she absolutely loves it! She will jump for hours and even has fallen asleep in it a couple of times! She is growing very well and is adjusting to eating solid foods! It has been a little harder on her poor tummy, but she is starting to really like it! We are so thankful for her and how well she has recovered from her rough start on life!

Springtime!

The girls were not so thrilled with my picture taking!

Landon caught a fish!

It was a beautiful spring day out today and so I thought I would take some pictures of the kids. The girls did not like this idea so much- I got a few of them individually, but they would not cooperate for together pictures. We had fun outside enjoying our yard though and are excited for this beautiful spring weather!

Yosemite

For Valentines Day we took a spur of the moment day trip up to Yosemite. It was a beautiful sunny warm day when we left our house and neither of us thought that there would be snow in Yosemite, so we loaded up and drove up to Yosemtie, much to our surprise there was so much snow and it was freezing! None of us brought jackets or snow clothes, so we drove down into the valley where there was just patches of snow and hiked up to the lower waterfall. It wasn't so cold, until we got to the waterfall and the mist was spraying us and it was windy. So we took a few pictures and moved on to explore caves! On the way back home Landon and I got out and played in the snow for a few minutes until we were thoroughly frozen and wet! It was a great day, full of laughs and new adventures. Just goes to show that we can be spontaneous even with twins and a three year old!

Landon's drawings

Landon has been practicing drawing a lot lately and asked me to teach him how to draw a person the other day, so I modeled a stick person and he picked it up very quickly and is now drawing people all the time! He has gotten into a learning mode and it is so much fun to teach him! He has learned how to verbally spell his name- if you ask him how to spell Landon he will respond- "LANDON"!

Landon's big boy bike

Landon learned how to ride his big boy bike today! We got it for him for Christmas and this has been the first real sunny day that I have had a chance to go out and work with him on riding it. He was scared at first, but got the hang of it real quick and now is riding like a pro. He did go around one turn a little too fast and tipped over, but he got right back up and tried again! I am so proud of him- he is growing up so quickly!

Snow Day!

We took a day trip up to Arnold this week and played in the snow at Kyle's friends house. It was a perfect snow trip- it was a beautiful sunny day and we were able to sled down a neighbors driveway that hadn't been plowed. So the girls hung out in the stroller in the court and watched us sled! Then when they needed to be fed we were able to go up to Lincoln's house and have a place to sit. It worked out great and Landon loved being able to play in the snow. I didn't think we were going to be able to go up to the snow this year with the girls being so little, but we had a great day!

Valerie can rollover!

We got a flip video camera for Christmas and I am so excited that I can now post videos to our blog! Valerie just learned to roll from her stomach to back this past week and kept doing it over and over! She was so proud of herself. Olivia has done it a couple of times, but I haven't caught it on video yet!
