Out of the mouth of...Lauren!

I don't often write down the funny things my kids say. I know that's a mistake but it's just something I haven't made a good habit of but I could hardly let this one slide. A little background, Lauren has been working on her "please, thank you's and mostly excuse me's" lately, she's really into it.
So this is how a little conversation went in our car last night:
Lauren: (burp)
Mom & Dad: "Lauren, what do you say?"
Lauren: "Excuse me?"
M & D: "Right, thank you."
Lauren: "We say excuse me when we burp or toot."
M & D: "Good job Lauren!"
Lauren:......"and when dogs poop!!"
M & D: ????? (what are you supposed to say to that)
Emily: (she did add some insight) "Dogs don't say excuse me, they only bark....and cats meow."
Such funny kids. I'll have to start writing down some more of the insights on life!

Just thought you'd want a image of this crazy kid!!

Cousin Crazyness!

Cousin Kathryn came to visit us this last weekend. Guess I missed out on the photo shoot!!! Work it!!!

Rise and Shout, The Cougars Are Out!!!

A few weeks ago, we got an email telling us that the BYU Men's Volleyball team would be in town to take on the UC Irvine Anteaters (stinks to be them). Anyway, Jason and I thought it would be fun to be able to take the girls to a BYU function, just to let the brainwashing begin! Jason had just been in Provo the week before and had picked up shirts for the girls, so they were set. Travis, Liz and Kaitlyn can up to join in the fun, which began with dinner at Cafe Rio!

There really was more people at the game than just us. Actually, BYU had a great crowd, probably 3/4 of the people there were BYU fans.The girls were trying to retrieve balls during warmup.....with no luck.

Future Cougar!!!

Girl's Night Out!

In the beginning of January was my good friend Luisa birthday and to celebrate the girls had a Girl's Night Out to the nail salon. I decided that I would let Emily join in the fun. She was a little hesitant at first and declined the spa pedicure (crazy girl) but she was excited to have her nails and toenails done. The women at the salon were so good to her, two working on her at one time. I think she really loved it!

Our Cute Toes!!!

Jason has an awesome little tradition on Valentine's Day. He has always gotten me flowers, but ever since the girls were born, they get a minature version of my flower arrangement. They love it so much. We're very lucky girls!
Lauren is in a little preschool class once a week and for Valentines they got to have a little party. She was so excited! She thought she was pretty big to be able to pick out Valentine's just like Emily. It was so much fun, her favorite part being the candy.

Passing out Valentines!

Emily's Valentine's Day celebration was a little sad. I can't even explain to you how excited she was for her pre-school party. She had her Valentines done a week before the party and everyday counted down. So, the morning of her party arrives and at about 5 am she got sick. I wanted to cry, she threw-up and looked up and said "Can I still go to my party?" It broke my heart. But her cute teachers sent home all her art projects for the day and a friend brought her Valentine box with all her cards home to her. In the end it was salvaged and she survived!
For our actual Valentine's Day, we went down to Deborah's and had a wonderful dinner with both my sister's and their families (and of course I took no pictures!)

Lost and Found!

I just thought this was so cute! The girls had lost something under the couch, and with a little assistance, daddy came to the rescue!
