Bijou Market

While my BF Rachel was here a couple of weekends ago, we stopped by the Bijou Market with the girls and it was really quite fun. Rachel picked up the cutest Sarah Jane prints for her new baby girl's nursery, while I opted to bring home some more cafeteria style plates that I LOVE! The girls ENJOYED some free mini-cupcakes and they even got their pictures taken by the cute photographer from Yan Photo. Such a fun girly day!

My Ella Babe

I love when you yell from your room at night that "you just need me to love you" and when I reassure you that I do, you say "but I just need you to love me soooo much" to which my heart melts and I immediately have to go smother you with kisses.

You Adore your sister, like seriously she can do (almost) no wrong that you wont immediately forgive and move on from. Like today how she was giving you pushed rides on your little car and got going a bit too fast and you totally biffed it and got a fat lip, but as soon as you stopped bleeding you wanted to be right near her again and snuggled up to watch a show with her. And you're always just sneaking the sweetest kisses from her all the time and I know she cant help but love it too!

YOU still love CUPCAKES and even though you know they aren't healthy because they're full of sugar you still get a little upset when I say that, and you always ask "but it's okay if you have just one right?"

You and Lily love to "exercise" with me lately and love to do workout videos and show me all your sweat!

Always you're a mermaid, and you love the name "polka" and "lotta" for your animals

I can't believe you'll be 3 next month

April

Wow, I'm so far behind I hope I remember what these pictures are of. Anyway, we got to go to a fun Easter Egg hunt party at my friend Summer's. Chad was a great sport and dressed up to be the Easter Bunny and Lily was thrilled!!(P.s these pics are out of order but oh well)

Me and cute friend Stacie who I don't get to see enough of cuz she lives all the way down in Springville!
After the Egg hunt, so happy to have a basket full of goodies!
Lily got Face paint, in a 'mask' style, her request

Decorating yummy sugar cookies with friend Talitha
When we first got there we had to wake Lil up and she had the 'sleepy' eyes for a minute
But then we got egg decorating and it was full fun after that!!
The finished product

So pretty to see all those colors among the green


Then quick as lighting it was over and the kids were thrilled
Ella with the "bunny"

Eating her treats as fast as she could before I noticed

Then Grandma came for a visit, and we took her bowling
Those guide things are the girls favorite to push the ball down

Go grandma!

Waiting patiently to see her score
Awww so close!




Somehow? the girls beat my mom and I, we were bowling a bit out of rotation we figured out about halfway through
Then the morning, thanks to some treats from Aunt Diane and Grandmas, they were spoiled. I love Ella's morning hair and Lil's Super girl outfit
Some fancy new gloves

So pretty in their Sunday Easter dress, they totally posed themselves!

They wanted a "mad" picture, not sure why?
Lily got creative with her fruit roll-up and made a "snail" with it







In the beginning of the month, my OLDEST BESTIE came all the way from Safford, AZ with her stylin' prego self and we had the funnest time ever! Don't mind that all we did was shop and eat and talk for three days straight, its prob good we don't live closer or I might never get anything productive done again! And here's our twinner picture right before we went to eat at La Jolla Groves.
Oh boy, the cheesiest pose ever!
I think it's safe to say, I can not pull the top knot off like Rachel can!
More grubbing and talking at Guru's, yummy mulligatawny soup and sweet potato fries, with some pesto chicken pasta to boot! OH RACHIE I Love that we've been friends since we were 12 and still love each other!

5 yr old conversation

After picking Lily up from preschool today-

Lily: mom my best friend and I broke up today. 

Me: oh no I'm sorry what happened 

Lily: well we had a little fight over my seahorse, she wanted to keep it.

Me: well its not hers so don't feel bad that she can't keep it 

Lily: oh I know, she's still my best friend we just broke up
