Dippin Dots are for well behaved birds and princesses.

Emmy was so good today that she earned dipping dots- there is actually a Dippin Dots ice cream parlor! Yes please. Please notice their matching Hawaii shirts from Grammy. The whole time Emmy was Jewel the bird ( from Rio) and talking abt how delicious her birdseed was- love her! Elle's remains obsessed with crowns- and when told to say "sorry"- she says "love you" and she never says bye without blowing a kiss- love her!

Best friend cutie pies!

 I love this little sleepy head!

 Elles always has her little finger in her binkie~

 "we need to be nice...don't pank (spank) bums" - Emmy reading the temple prep manual.

 Yet ANOTHER pet firefly-- the firefly population has decreased drastically since we've been here.

 Elles fell and scrapped her knee-- poor little thing! She is such an angel.

 She is such a great little helper.

 Little best friends.

 They have the funnest time at the YMCA splash pad-- they really are such cute little friends and playmates- I love!

Playtime in the dirt...nothing like it.  This has only gotten better since Papa sent some garden tools to the girls-- HOURS of fun!

Fun times with Daddy!

 Daddy has been here studying-- which means when he gets breaks-- it equals play times! whoot whoot- let's just say that Daddy is waaaaaaaaaay more fun than I am.  I've never thought of tying the moby wrap around the girls "drag behind a horse style" and pulling them around the room...

 Daddy has loved this time-- but hasn't been able to relax-- because this is what happens ;)

 Life is a PARTY with daddy.

Emmy's quote in this picture is "I could do this forever!"

Photo shoot with Emmalina.

 telling me a story-- I love the expressions.

Elles was adorable and matching-- all kinds of cute-- and she fell asleep-- it was going to rain anyway- so I got these really quickly-- but the subject is so cute-- that I couldn't really go wrong ;)

ballet!!

 Emmy's ballet class- is the cutest thing I've ever seen.

 She adores her teacher Alexia.

 this is my new favorite picture-- isn't it perfect?

 Here she is learning how to leap-  yes-- that's a puddle on the ground-- what she lacks in grace-- she makes up in height.

Here she is dancing "big"~ when the music is loud- you make big movements- when it's quiet- you make small ones-- loved it.

Jason's CS2 is DONE!

 He took the test on Friday the 13th-- we got all gussied up to celebrate him.

 Emmy and I even had matching hair styles-- courtesy of pinterest.

Elles doesn't have enough hair to match-- but she looked pretty  darn cute-- and we did add a tutu to this ensemble.

National Cow Day 2012

 We never miss it! As you can see Uncle Josh got to join us for NCD this year- whoot whoot! Ellie was NOT in love with the cow.

 Ems was in love.

 Miss Moo 1 and 2.

Booky and Josh came up for the week before Jason had to take is CS2--the HUGE test where Jason had to be the doctor with 15 different patients~he had to do exams, notes, diagnosis and physicals-- a PARTY.  Thankfully, he got some GREAT studying done (something that did not happen during his surgery rotation) Josh, Booky and I all took turns being J's patient- while the other two watched the little ruffians ;)

Moments of random memories from the Iphone-- World's longest post.

Ellie eating breakfast with her pet rattle snake next to her-- love that.

 One of my favorite memories-- Emmy and Booky loosing their minds in the purse section at Bealles-- so sweet-- it was the night before we left one of the times we were visiting-- parting is such sweet sorrow.

 cutie girl

 We saved an alligator snapping turtle-- I know this lady doesn't look like me-- or Emmy-- but it is our towel-- and I had already tried to move it with a branch that it had snapped in half-- with it's jaws.

 Emmy doing Callahan's ultrasound

 Emmy and I went on a date to Wifesavers-- I love that in each we are making the same face!

 These are the PERFECT pictures-- they were taken 2 seconds apart- just as the girls woke up-- Ellie wakes up not knowing who she is~ Emmy wakes up DELIGHTED!

 Emmy hurt her foot at McDonald's- so I used one of Calan's loveys (yes we are already making them for him) to make a fake cast-- she loved it.

 Look how Elles is sitting in this cart~ this is also her FAVORITE toy-- the spotted rubber ducky-- they are best friends.

 Callahan Fox-- taking over his mother's body.

 twins!

 sun your buns!

 little walking friends.

 all 3 of our kiddos!

 walking in a tu tu-

 enjoying the lake.
