Easter Egg hunt

 We woke up the girls this morning to go to the Easter Egg hunt at 8 am.  Jefrie didnt want to wake up until i mention candy.  When we got there they were pretty excited about it.  

 Jefrie did pretty good, she just had to take a good look at the candy before she put it in her bucket.

 Aaron said that Eastyn picked up the first package of marshmellows and was ok with just that. lol  Aaron helped her realize there were more so she at least got 3 candies.  lol

They were occupied and didnt want to look at the camera. 

Its crazy how fast the hunt goes.   We played at the park for a while after.  

crazy fun

Where's Jefrie???

There she is!!        

Jefrie discovered her toy bin is a great hidding place!

 They love playing in Jefrie's bed lately. (I think because Eastyn loves the challenge of climbing on things to get on it)  Reading books to each other and playing that its bedtime. They also put there babies to sleep and snuggle them.  They are so stinkin cute when they play together.

 Eastyn loves putting bins on her head and walking around.  She is so silly.  

 The other day Aaron was giving them a bath and he yelled, "Amy I need your help!"  I went in there and Eastyn had put the basket that holds the bath toys on her head and it was stuck.  (Sorry I didnt get a picture)  I truly think she is preparing me for all the things this little boy will do.

 close up!

 Jefrie picked out Eastyn's clothes today. Not what i would have picked for a 71 degree day but I needed a picture of Eastyn wearing this because it used to be my favorite shirt when i was that small and I have one with Jefrie wearing it.

 Doing her silly face.  :-)

 I wanted Jefrie to work on learning her name so I had her trace and practice her name.  

 She actually did a lot better than i thought she would. ...look at her cute concentrating face! :-)

We traced the left side together and she did the whole right side ALL by herself! (besides the last one) Im so proud.  :-)

This is our view from our front door.  I love it!!!  Its so beautiful here.  And I absolutely LOVE my ward!!!  There are so many great people here, so welcoming and friendly.  :-)  I told Aaron when we stop renting we will have to buy a house in this neighborhood.  He said he wouldn't mind that.  :-)  One day, when I actually clean my house, I will post pictures....today, I just hope to get the dishes done. 

Potty Training

So its been a long adventure trying to potty train little Jefrie.  She has been excited about it many times so we start to train her but then she refuses after a couple days.  I dont blame her, she has been through a lot of transitions in the last year but Im SO READY for her to be trained already.  Im so thankful for wonderful friends that have helped me with this trial and given me support and ideas to encourage her again, and agian, and again. Well, we have tried a lot and shortly after we start she just seems to not care about the candy/toys she will get when she goes.  The latest was "no Im a baby."   She is so stinkin smart too because of coarse we were telling her that Eastyn is still a baby and that's why she wears diapers still so when she really wanted an apple one day after saying she is a baby i told her that babies cant have apples.  and her response "Eastyn eats apples"  lol  I CANT WIN!!!

Until now, I hope anyway.  We told her yesterday morning that the diaper fairies came and took her diapers away.  They all think she is a big girl and should wear her big girl underwear.  She bought it!  And she did pretty good at going on the potty.  After a few accidents she wanted to talk to the fairies that took her diapers.  lol  She cracks me up.  We only had 3 accidents yesterday and at the end of the day she ran in my room and said "mom I stopped my pee!"  she was so excited about it so we ran to the potty and she finished in the toilet with only a little piddle in her undies.  I think/hope/pray that I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  This morning she had a dry diaper (the fairy let us keep 10 diapers for bed time only) and went on the potty right away.  :-)

Here is a video of her dancing to her new favorite song, The potty dance.

Prego belly

Im 33 weeks and feeling more like 39.  This pregnancy has been the hardest for sure. Im so exhausted all the time and yesterday I could barely walk i hurt so bad.  Im just thankful for my wonderful husband that helps me out and lets me nap and take "me time" when I need it.  And he puts up with my moods.  Im very blessed to have him.  I love you Aaron!!....Even though you make it impossible to name this child.  ;-)

Happy St. Patty's Day!

 Today I decided we need to send something to the grandparents so I looked at my favorite blog to get ideas.  http://toddlerboredombusters.blogspot.com

The girls hand prints are always cute so we did leprechauns.

Last week they painted with green, white and yellow and I made them into 4 leaf clovers to send good luck.

And here is just a random picture of my goofy 20 month old:

She put her dress bloomers on as a hat.  LOL

I hope you all have a great St. Patricks Day and that you dont get pinched.  :-)

Valentines Day

 We made sugar cookies for Valentines day today.  I gave them each a cookie to decorate for daddy first.  Jefrie did a great job but Eastyn just ate the frosting and sprinkles. 

 Then we colored daddy's valentine cards and put stickers on them.  He loved them!

 More unpacking fun....I love it when they play together.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

St george visit before moving

We finally got a home to rent so we took a trip to St. George to get a washer and dryer and of coarse to see my family.  

 Jefrie watching cartoons with Nana

 Eastyn loves this balloon book, she wouldnt put it down.

I just thought this was a cute picture of them watching a movie with their cousin Kiernan.

 A goodbye picture with Nana and Papa

Here is a picture in our new home of them keeping themselves occupied while mommy organizes. 

 SO CUTE!!
