I think I take too many pictures

BEWARE- another overload! My friend had a cookie party the other day to celebrate the end of winter- we frosted snowflakes & then the girls ate them:) I didn't eat any because I saw what happened with the frosting spoons & fingers when Holly (my friend) wasn't looking:) Can we say VERY unsanitary! I'm O.K. when it's my own kids, but I have a little bit harder time eating someone elses spit- enough said:) I warned Greg when we got home, but he is such a good Daddy & forced one down anyway just for the girls- it was quite funny to watch. He is SO not a germ sharing person- he barely shares his drink with ME. I'm still laughing thinking about it. The other day I let the girls take the cushions off the couch & they had so much fun. It kept them entertained for hours- climbing, sliding, & making forts. There were only a "few" tumbles- as Em & Mace (a cousin) thought they were as big as the big kids.

Spring fever is definately in the air- the weather has been SO great for a couple of days. We have been going to the town playground, going for walks & Greg has been taking the girls on 4-wheeler rides. They are SO happy to not be cooped inside anymore- Em is definately an outside lover. She will actually mind me when I say to go get her coat & shoes so she can go outside. We were walking the other day and she saw a dog and kept meowing- she knows a lot of the animal sounds but gets them mixed up:) Do you think it's time to get a second 4-wheeler??? They all look a little bit squished, but don't tell Greg I said that:)
Oni got to go the hospital the other day for a field trip & they gave them this stuff to wear. They have had a blast wearing them & pretending to be nurses- maybe they will take after Auntie LaLa???And last, but definately not least, here is our little snaggletooth. She STILL has only ONE tooth on the top and is cutting her 5th & 6th on the bottom (her molars). She loves to give this big cheesy grin to show them off- she is so proud of her little oddness:) As are we:) Oh- & Oni is our resident photographer these days. She has been practicing up a storm! Havie, Em & I are the lucky models:) I am really thinking of giving her my Point & Shoot & going for an SLR- anyone have a fairly inexpensive favorite???

Life can go on!

Now that our girls have FINALLY met real life Princesses the world can continue to go round. Since that is all that has really mattered in life for a couple years it will be nice to focus on other things:) We really had a great time on our trip to Disneyland & Sea World. The weather was SO rainy (but not cold), at Disneyland so it worked out great because we didn't have to wait in line so the girls went on EVERYTHING as many times as they wanted in one day. They were so brave! They rode every ride but Space Mountain- something about a roller coaster in the dark just didn't sit right with them:) I can't imagine going in the summertime now and having to wait in line for hours with small kids- definately Winter or early Spring or late Fall is the best time to go. My Mom, Dad, Sisters, Jace & Katie helped watch Emi at home or it would have been miserable trying to keep her dry- all I can say is THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! The girls really loved Sea World- (the weather was GREAT this day)especially the Killer Whales, Dolphins, Sesame Street Playground and Wild Arctic ride. Anya did go on Atlantis with me & I couldn't believe my ears because I have NEVER heard her scream like that:) At least they were willing to try all the scary rides- even if they didn't want to go on them twice:)

They also finally got to look for shells on the beach- another world stopping event. Even though it was rainy they would have stayed for hours if we let them. We didn't have our umbrellas yet so Mom was the party pooper this time:) No pictures here because of the rain!

On the way home we stopped in St. George so we could show them Mom's favorite temple. As a little girl my family would go to this temple for Family Home Evenings so it was always my favorite. It was fun to show them the "Nut House" and go in the visitor's center.

Greg and I found this amazing- this is a family history chart that shows that Emma & Joseph Smith, Winston Churchill, Pres. Bush, Nixon, Ford, & Roosevelt are all related through one man (Howland) and his three sons. What a small world we live in.Not to leave Em out- now that she is almost 1 1/2 yrs. but still the size of a one year old she can easily climb out of her high chair. This is how I find her if I leave the room for a minute. Guess I can't do that anymore:)
What a little stinker! Hope you all didn't get picture overload:)
