Big Girl Bed

We pretty much ripped the band-aid off... now Isabelle is sleeping in a big girl bed. Grammy bought the girls Dora the Explorer and Hello Kitty sheets--awesome!

Letter to Olivia

Gabriella wrote this in one of her writing journals... The kids read a book, think about what connection they had, and then write about it. Sweet, eh?

Gabby Lost her Front Teeth!

So Travis took Gabby to the dentist today because her front tooth was a little loose from being bumped by another kiddo... She came back with BOTH teeth extracted. SURPRISE! I had no idea that was happening... Apparently, they grow in straighter when both teeth are gone. I love this look, though. Losing your front teeth is such a milestone.

Gabby's First Slumber Party

Eating ice-cream sundaes

Playing with the kiddies

Watching Star Wars

Twins!

The t-shirt says Shoot for the Stars

Gabby and her buddy, Emily, had their first sleep-over at our house. They've known each other since they were two... She is Gabby's "first friend" and is moving to Singapore so we wanted to do something special to say goodbye. The girls ate junk food and hardly slept, but they had a blast and got along great. All in all, a first successful sleep-over.

Easter 2013

My BFF, Beth, bought me egg decorating stuff and sent it

in a care package four years ago... finally used it today :)

Pink Bunny Peeps!

Nothin' like candy at 6:45 in the morning

So stinkin' happy!

Olivia's First Easter

Another successful Easter! The bunny came and hid the girls' baskets. He did a great job with Gabriella's-- it took her awhile to find it. We went to a celebration a the clubhouse, which was pretty lame and cold, but there was a bouncy castle so the girls at least got some exercise. We watched some Easter movies, ate candy, and had a nice day together as a family. No major melt-downs or craziness, which always makes mommy happy.

Gabby's Chinese Presentation

Singing, talking, and basically showing-off her Chinese ability in the presentation. It was super awesome seeing her interact with her Chinese teacher. We're so thankful she gets this experience of learning a new language in a fun way... 

Livvy's First Sister Bath

The girls having a good laugh

Everything in the mouth!

Isabelle liked cleaning her lil' sis

She smelled SO GOOD after this bath

Olivia had her first bath with her big sister and it went REALLY good. I was watching the girls by myself and haven't attempted this yet, so I was pleasantly surprised. All three girls are water babies--yay!
