March Photo Drop - Part 1

So March is halfway through, which I hope means that the snow will be a thing of the past very soon! We did have snow on Ethan's birthday, the 16th, which was crazy.  Thankfully we didn't have to get out it in, but it was pretty.  Hayden and I got to go see the Lego movie with some friends.  Sh may have fallen asleep within the first 20 minutes but still says it was a great movie.  

And then spring break happened.  Thankfully i got to share my spring break week with Hayden. We spent Monday and Tuesday running around and enjoying the time together.  We visited Bass Pro Shops (to see the animals) per Hay's request. Abbs and I went to the library story time.  We played outside. We went to my school's playground.  Whew.  And then Grandma Diddle came down to visit. She took both girls back with her for a few days to the farm. They were excited and I have no doubt that they had fun. 

Hayden and Ethan also did a project at Lowes - she made a birdhouse! We had to buy some paint, yellow paint, so she could make it pretty. So far no birds have moved in. 

Other than that, it's been the normal silly, chaotic, loveable days here at the house.  Ethan and i love sitting back and watching the girls interact and seeing how they're changing.  They both amaze me everyday. 

Inseparable at times

Saturdays at Home Depot these days

Oh, did you see the post about their new ride? They love it...Hayden does a little bit more, haha. 

A New Ride ((VIDEO))

So we finally broke down and got the girls a power wheels.  Hayden was super excited to get in and drive, Abbie was excited for the ride and ticked that she couldn't drive.

It took Ethan a little bit to fully assemble it and then for Hay to bedazzle and sticker it. But once it made it outside, Hayden was all over the yard. Of course she took that opportunity to chase Chili Dog around, haha.  Abbie rode with her for a few rounds but then quickly escaped after one fast ride.  I foresee a lot of yard time spent on the trampoline, slides, and Jeep this summer!

Finally Outside ((VIDEO))

During Spring Break last week the weather got warm enough that the kiddos could actually play out in the back yard!  The trampoline got a lot of use and Abbie learned that it wasn't as scary as it used to seem. Hayden decided to perfect some of her trampoline tricks!



Abbie mastered the slide as well!

Thankful for the nice warm weather break and the chance to be outside, even if it was short lived.

February Photo Drop - Part 2

And this post is a hodge-podge of pics from the 2nd half of February!

The girls and I spent a day in Springfield running around with no true agenda one day.  Hayden dressed herself (stripes, skirt, red shirt, and heart jacket with a huge flower headband). I just love her! 

We visited Pet Warehouse where she tried to convince Daddy that we were going to bring this little guy home with us.

A quick stop off at mommy's work playground, always a favorite.

And then there's Abbie and her own style; Minnie Mouse hat and one glove. That's it. :)

The girls and I also created this button tree! I had my eye on this for a long time but had never gotten around to actually making it.  Hayden helped paint the tree, both girls helped pick out buttons and place them on the tree.  Abbie tried to help with the glue but we quickly discovered that it wasn't a great idea. 

So I guess this post wasn't really a hodge podge of pics since the all happened on one day!  Oh well. At the end of the day, these two girls love each other and I couldn't be more blessed .  This last pic just shows how much they love each other (or at least tolerate each other).  We were hangin out in the living room and the girls were cuddled together as Abbie put Hayden in a loving hug (maybe head-lock,not sure).  My heart is happy.
