Pigtail Day!

 I thought I'd try to put Emily's hair in ponytails too, and it worked!  

 She wouldn't look at the camera for a picture, but they are still cute!

 I thought this was a cute picture. 

 They did an early Father's Day craft at Sarah's school, so it gave us an excuse to take a picture.  

 Wonderful picture of them!!  Sarah is all about her dad these days; she loves to go everywhere with Rusty and help him around the house.  Rusty loves it too!

 This is Ms. Lynnette and Ms. Lisa, Sarah's teachers at school.  Sarah's last day is tomorrow, and she has had so much fun this school year.  She loves her teachers and her friends in her class so much!  We really are pleased with her school too, and she will be returning in the fall.

 Emily wants to crawl so badly.  She gets on her hands and one knee but can't get the other leg/knee to cooperate.  She also is scooting all over, and she can sit back up from being on the floor.  She also is getting her first tooth in the bottom front.  

 The signature tongue move

Love her!

Mother's Day

It was a wonderful Mother's Day! 

First Haircuts!

 Last weekend, Sarah and Emily both got their haircuts for the first time!  Heather was willing to do it for us, which was a plus that it was someone we knew.  All went smoothly, and most importantly, Emily can see again!  Sarah's got the big eyes in this picture because the ones we tried prior to this she kept closing her eyes as she smiled.  We told her to open her eyes big, and she took that literally!

 Cute picture of the girls in their chairs!

 About a month ago, we went to a Go Green event, and Sarah got to sit in a brand new recycle truck!

Over the weekend, the girls went fishing.  It was more like Rusty, Ryan and Rachel went fishing, but the girls had fun feeding the fish food, aka, throwing rocks in the water.

8 Months Old

 Emily is eight months old!  She loves to blab to us and roll all over the place.  Emily is also getting up on her knees when she's on her belly.  She's a lot of fun these days!

 Blowing bubbles in her high chair...

Love her!

Let's Eat!

 Emily isn't too sure about this...

 From time to time, Sarah gets to feed Emily a few bites, but this day, she got to feed Emily her whole breakfast!

 Looks like we need to have Sarah do this more often...I don't get those smiles when I do it!

 Mission accomplished!

 I know, I know...I need to get Emily's hair cut.  Without her bow in, those bangs are pretty crazy.

 Notice Emily's fish face; she's been doing that a lot lately.

Fun with Blocks

 Emily loves playing with her blocks and link ring toys. 

 This one would not fall off of her, and she didn't get it.

 I had to add this picture because I distinctly remember one just like this of Sarah at this age.

and here it is!

 Saturday was a windy day, and we went to fly a kite!

 Sarah had a blast and did quite well!

We first attempted to fly the kite in our front yard...

Easter Weekend

 We started the weekend with dyeing Easter eggs.  Sarah enjoyed it, and she wanted to color many of the eggs yellow (her favorite color).

 We started Easter Sunday at home.  Sarah enjoyed all of her presents in her basket!

 Then we headed out to Rachel and Ryan's house to hang out with their family.  Addison and Sarah had a blast hunting Easter eggs!  Due to the weather, they were able to sport Addison's cowboy boots.

 I stole a few pictures from Rachel.  We forgot our camera at home, which was so unfortunate!

 After we returned home, we had another Easter egg hunt inside the house.  It continued to rain, so we had to improvise.  Actually, Sarah ended up wanting to hunt eggs well through the evening and the next day too.  She also hid them herself and then wanted us to help find them with her.  Very cute!

 Sweet Sarah

 We didn't have much success at a picture of both girls together.

 Emily puts EVERYTHING in her mouth these days.

 Happy girl!
