Hairbows please!

Avery decided that she wanted to wear some hairbows. She actually pointed to them & patted her head (I think she is a genius) so despite the lack of hair we put some on. She then proceeded to look in the mirror and pat her head and smile.

Avery was so happy to sit at the big girl table and eat breakfast with big sister!

Pretty girl

a quiet moment

first lollypop - she loved it!

Fun with our cousins!

Our cousins Conner & Camryn came to see us, here is a pic of that cute baby Conner 2 months & growing like a weed. Jordyn thinks he is "soooo cuuute mommy".

Avery is an explorer - this particular morning I found her exploring in the bacthroom closet. "Look what I found!"

We spent the day at the zoo with our cousin Shelby for her 3rd birthday. We all had so much fun happy birthday Shelby!

All dressed up & fancy.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

We have been wanting to check out the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs for ages, so while Trevor was off we took a trip down there, stayed in a hotel and went to the Zoo. It was a fun mini vacation, but not especially relaxing. Going anywhere with kids this little is almost more work than it's worth, but you gotta get out right?

At the zoo you can get really close to the Giraffes and feed them - Jordyn was a little intimidated by that big black giraffe tongue.

Avery was playing on her little slide the other day and I took some pictures of her being silly. She is such a ham. She took 2 steps yesterday from me to Trevor and we were all so excited! She is getting so big. It won't be long before she's running after big Sis!

My little Cupie Doll.

Mount Falcon Park

Trevor had the week off so on Tuesday we headed up to Mount Falcon park for a hike and a picnic. Jordyn had a blast running & dancing around. This picture just proves that she is a two year old. If only I could bottle that energy!

We took some nice father daughter shots on these rocks that were really fun to climb on.

And a couple of the whole family using the timer on the camera.

It was a nice place to spend the day - not too far from Denver. We all had a great time and look forward to more hiking adventures this summer.

Fun fun fun.

Whoa - Daddy's scooter helmet is soooo big!

Coloring - Avery wants to do everything big sis does!

Wooo Wooo Fire Girls

I was helping Jordyn in the bathroom and when I came out to see what Avery was up to this is what I found . . . ugh

Jordyn likes to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on TV so I found my old ears from my childhood trip to Disneyland and she was really excited. I can't wait to take the girls there someday. Jordyn says she likes Goofy the best.

Hot fun in the summer time!

It's been hot the last few days so we hauled out the baby pool and the girls had a blast! Avery couldn't believe how much fun it was. She splashed, she crawled around, she climbed out and then back in - so much fun!

"taa-daa"

Playin' dress up!

Spring is here at last and Jordyn is happy to be sporting summer fashion.

She likes to water with her watering can which she got as a present for doing such a good job going potty on her potty. If you look closely you can see that our Meyer Lemon tree has 2 lemons this year!

Painting the porch with water - hours of fun on a sunny day. Eating the paintbrush - equally fun! Everyone is happy!

We can't stop Avery from climbing onto and into everything!

Her first word was 'dada'.

Her second word was 'mama'.

And her third word . . .

"taa-daa!"

We think it's very fitting. She is so pleased with all of her tricks.
