Puppy Love

The girls had no idea that Jeff and I had got them a dog. It is a Havanses little boy and he is so cute. 

This is the girls right after we gave him to them. They decided to name him Max and then to give him a bath.

Max even joined us for the bedtime story.

 

His first full day was full of lots of hugs!

We also took the girls to see Disney on Ice. They LOVED it. It was really good and the girls even dressed up. Julia as Minnie Mouse and Natalie as Tianna.

 

The girls were mesmerized.

Happy Spring! (Hopefully)

We got a great taste of spring today and took advantage of it with a trip to the zoo with our friends!

With Easter right around the corner the girls found some adorable Easter baskets. Julia found a cowgirl one and Natalie found a princess one, although the decided to make them Easter bonnets for a little while...

There was a huge fire next to the highway the other day!

Natalie told us the other day that she learned the Macarena at gym, so we asked her to prove it.

Julia and Natalie have been taking dance for a while now. Julia's favorite part is usually the streamers.

Julia's birthday is coming up and tonight she decided to tell us what she wants when we were at Target.

Back into the swing of things!

We did lots of things when we were snowed in, including putting on make up! I think Julia may need a few more lessons.

Two weeks ago the girls and Jeff came down with the norovirus. It was super nasty and I am glad that we all seem to be on the road to recovery!

Of course with sickness came lots of snuggles.

And a couple of visits to the ER for dehydration. This time Natalie got a blue slushy and she thought it pretty much rocked.

While Natalie and I were at the ER, Dad was at home fighting dehydration with Julia with some good old Gatorade. I think this is the first time she had ever had it and she told us that she LOVED it.

When the girls were feeling a little better I took them to the local pet store to get to see some kitties. They are such animal lovers.

I love watching Natalie and Julia sleep. They are always so peaceful and so very sweet. This is Julia during nap time the other day.

Aunt Karen had some baby goats and was nice enough to bring them into town for the girls to see. They thought they were awesome and couldn't get enough of them.

Natalie has been coming into our room a lot at night for hugs. I thought maybe letting her sleep with my shirt would help. It has and I think it is so sweet to see her snuggling with them!

We also got our previous home on the market. Here is the link:

And here is the video:

Here the girls are singing Row, Row your boat - too cute.

And here is a shot of the snow coming down when we got our record snow fall.

WHEW!!

We are finally in our new house and getting settled. I thought I would try and catch up on a few photos!

Valentines Day. We decided to make felt cookies and "sprinkes" for our friends. They turned out really cute and the girls had a great time making them.

Mom made these super cute mailboxes with the girls, so Jeff and I loaded them up with goodies on Valentines Day.

My sweet Valentines!

While Jeff was at the house with the movers, the girls and I were enjoying some quiet time at the ranch. Here they are hanging out with the cows. They are such animal lovers!

Giving the cows some treats. Julia is in her Easter Bonnet, which she refers to as her Yee-Haw hat. Such a goof.

So, I don't have any photos of the actual move, but I do have photos of what we did while we waited for the trucks..can't beat good friends and margaritas.

One of the first things we did after we moved in was put up Natalie's wall mural. It is adorable and she loves it!

We also got Julia's cowgirl up. She was very excited.

The first week in our new house brought one of the worst snowstorms the city has ever seen! Here are some photos of the snow coming down. It was really beautiful, but a mess!

Of course the girls had to get out and enjoy it!

Julia really wanted Jeff to build a Frosty the snowman....her wish, his command.

Natalie, as always, just wanted to help.

I didn't really think through the fact that Julia wouldn't be able to walk in the snow. It was 15 inches deep and the poor thing would just fall over or yell, "I tuck!! I tuck!!!" Her hat kept falling over her eyes too, which made it even funnier!

The girls helping Jeff shovel.

After playing out in the snow, we came in and made some snow ice cream...yum!

The girls playing with the bean box to pass the time on yet another snow day.

The contractor finally made it back to finish the girls playroom. It is adorable. We finished a small store room and cut a hole out the leads to a finished part under the stairs. The girls use it as their "house" it really is adorable!

Kendra and I now live really close and it is so nice! The girls got a baby fix the other day with Mr. Ilias.

Because one record breaking snow storm wasn't enough, we are getting hit by another one this week. I went to the store to get some necessities, seems like I wasn't the only one that had that idea.

Hopefully we can get some photos of the house up soon! With a couple more snow days, we could get a lot more work done!
