Discovery Gateway and more

I got a day off last week so I told Steve he should do the same and we should do something as a family. So he did and we went to the Discovery Gateway. Emma had a blast but it was an expensive adventure. We had to pay full price for Emma. 1 year and younger were free but since Emma was 18 months we had to pay the general admission price. Doesn't that seem silly or what? She loved the little piano in the play house and went back and forth to it. She loved to drive all the cars and going down the slides. She had a blast and it was worth the 8.50 and the family time that we got to spend together. We also are busy with Swim days at work, and swim days at Aunt Sara pool. Emma's new love is to ride in the push cars and loves to wear her "cool babies" (sunglasses). Emma loves to read, color and sleep with her sister. I love our family and the adventures we get to take together and can't wait to see what next month brings.

18 months and 5 months

Emma is 18 months going on 13! I'm pretty sure we are in for our money with her. I'm hoping its just the age but she can throw herself to the ground just like that if she doesn't get her way! Yet she is such a sweet, happy little girl the next. She loves to move, move, and move. I'm pretty sure that is why she is only in the 5% for her weight. She is a whopping 20.6 pounds (5%) and 32.25 inches (68%) Her Dr. said all her calories are going to her height right now. So hopefully with the pedi sure milk shakes and the constant eating she does already she will gain more weight for her 2 year old appointment. Emma loves to read books, play with her dolls, Loves to watch Elmo and play with her friends at daycare. She loves to give sister kisses, ride her bike, go on walks, and LOVES to eat! She loves her Daddy but lately she Loves her mommy more. Daddy is not to happy about this but it happens. ;) She loves to have her daddy throw her up in the air and loves to play peek a boo. Emma is such a joy to have in our family and we are so excited to see what the future brings with her. Bailey is 5 months old and getting chunky! She loves to eat her food...sweet potatoes, squash, pears, bananas, apples, green beans and sometimes peas. She doesn't like carrots though! She is rolling to her sides but doesn't want to roll the rest of the way. :) She loves to reach and play with things in front or to the side of her and loves to get kisses from her big sister. She just discovered her voice and boy can she scream! She loves to watch Elmo with her sister and loves to make noises with her tongue. She is probably around 14 pounds or more and gets really excited when she sees her bottle or food. You can finally see some hair coming in and it will be fun to see if its going to be brown or blonde. Bay is such a happy, smiley baby. Everyone that sees her smiles and says...she is just a happy baby! She is and we are so lucky to have two happy, sweet babies. We love Bailey and the spirit she brings into our home.

April-May Happenings

April came and went and then some how May went to. We have been a busy family. We had our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Grandma and Grandpa Oldson's house. We spent Easter up in Eden at Jordan and Jeff's parents house because Steve worked on Easter. The girls wear their cute Easter dresses from Grandma Anderson. We rode scooters and went on Esater egg hunts. We repainted our Kitchen cabinets and Steve did a great job! Mother's Day was a great year with two girls. Steve got me a whole day spa treatment at the Spa from the Silent Auction from Friday's Kids. I just need to call and set up that Big day! We have had lots of family birthday parties, helping Rondee and her family move, and golfing with daddy! With our busy activities Steve was gone for a 3 weeks in a row for work and play so me and the girls got really close. It was nice to have work during the day so then I would just have the few hours at night to entertain the girls. Steve went to California for a boys trip and went to a couple baseball games, Disneyland (I don't want to talk about that) and the zoo. He had fun but missed his girls! :) Our lives are busy but its nice to come home from work and just hang out as a family at night. I love our little family and I'm so excited to keep up the adventures.
