sick months

 Top ramen, taco bell, powerades, anything salty, and then sweet and then salty...this was April through most of June for me. Barf...

Easter egg hunt

good (& crazy) days

Sometimes we take long naps. 

(me, not so much but laying down is nice;)

Other times we do not nap. THOSE days are really exciting.

Sometimes we read, blow bubbles, do sidewalk chalk, get dirty, run outside, turn music up really loud and dance.

Other days laundry gets done & not much else;)

Some days we eat really healthy foods...most days.

Others we need lots of fruit snacks to make it through the day!

Mama is able to crochet and read sometimes while babies color. 

(sometimes all over themselves!)

[insert eye roll here]

Sometimes mama is able to work out with no problem.

Other days we need bubbles, shoes, wet wash cloths, & a show to get it done.

Some moments of the day are spent laughing together and at each other.

Others....we are all angry elves together:)

Many days time outs are necessary.

ALL of our days are loud at one point or another.

Some days mama NEEDS to organize everything and the house is chaos ALL day and we are all happy!

ALL days, even crazy ones, mama loves her baby girls!!!

Everything is more magical through the eyes of toddlers.  

Gwinna and Noelle love the furry creations in the world!  It is so sweet to see. 

 Our trip to Fresno zoo was a success.  They were also able to get a taste of their first "pink clouds" (as described in "The One and Only Ivan"). Cotton candy! 

They loved it, of course. 

 

Our next stop was the temple in Fresno.  It is beautiful and small and even though we did not go inside we still felt rejuvenated spiritually.  We sat and talked (as the babies napped) about our little family and how good life is and how grateful we are to have such incredible people in our lives and amazing opportunities and especially how grateful we are to be a part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

 We also talked about and acknowledged how grandly imperfect we are, and how we find hope through the Atonement and those imperfections can be altered because of our Savior & how humbling that reality is!  We are part of such a gorgeous plan. Wow.

After this we enjoyed a dose of nostalgia at Chick-fil-A & some milkshakes;)

Last, but certainly not least, was my favorite place to shop (well browse anyway) ^^^^^^
