We definitely have two little girls in this house! They are so busy and so fun! Here is a cute video of each of them singing their favorite song. They make me smile!

I am so very behind on updating this… my computer freaked out and it is taking some time to fix.
Here are a couple videos from one of my favorite summer nights this year.
I promise to update more soon :)
thumbkin
slightly inappropriate…incredibly hilarious!
now that I have this on video…I promise to teach her the right way to say thumbkin.
hi.
April 1st, 2011 | Hazel | Raven | video
we just wanted to say hi to you all!
(warning : this gets a bit loud at some points)
deep breaths
March 18th, 2011 | Hazel | video
Imagine this lasting for a week.
…and this is my life. We found out earlier this week that she has pink eye….and she is also getting all four molars at once. Let’s just say that she’s not handling it well. And when Raven was crying and complaining about me making her go to the bathroom, I asked her why she was complaining. Apparently she is getting her molars too. Not really…that happened years ago, Raven. It is noisy over here.
I am just sitting here during naptime taking deep breaths. The goal is to keep my sanity. I am praising the Lord that today is Friday…and I am heading for the hills this weekend! So thankful for my Mother-in-law for coming this weekend to help with the girls. So thankful for my husband who works so hard for our family. So thankful for the women’s retreat this weekend. Deep breath. Just a few more hours until Matt comes home.
SUCCESS!

Leading up to our trip, I honestly thought we might not be going on our much anticipated trip to our beloved Sayulita. Hazel had a ear infection a week before leaving. Raven had pneumonia two days before leaving. The power of prayer (and powerful antibiotics) got her feeling well enough to fly….and although we were all sick before, during, and still have runny noses and coughs after…we had a great time!
Raven had been talking about Mexico for weeks (“Is Mexico over there?” pointing left), and we loved the build up of excitedment! (This is the way I typed it and I decided to leave it this way…it just seems appropriate :))
Day 1. at the beach!
sand chairs made by daddy!
Day 2. at the beach!
…and swimming with the daddys! (the water was too cold for the mommys)
swim lessons for the big girls
daddy swim for the little girl
Day 3. more fun in the sun! …and carnival!
jumping on the trampoline!
Day ?. The rest of the days are blurred together…all I know is that is went way too fast. Here are other highlights from the week…

the Daddys with the kids
…and there were a few peaceful moments like this…
It’s sad that we will not be going back again next year, but Sayulita will always be a special place in our hearts (we love the beach and the food and the sea glass and the smoothies!)…and we will be back again someday!
V Day
February 15th, 2011 | cookies | Hazel | potty training | Raven | Valentines Day | video
Well, I had big plans for Valentines day this year…none of which came to fruition. Actually, that’s not totally true, I did make the crayon hearts. I was planning on also making a bunch of valentines with Raven to send to family and friends so they know how much we love them and think about them…it just didn’t happen. Instead, we have been taking turns being sick for the last 2 weeks. Poor Hazel has had it the worst…first a stomach bug, then a cold, then an ear infection…and she lets the whole house know when she’s not feeling well.

this sums up Hazel's mood over the last 2 weeks
And then there is Potty Training. This has been so challenging for me! Some days are great with no accidents, and other days are just awful. Just the other morning I was in the shower and I heard Raven yell, “Accident!” So I peaked out only to see Hazel sitting in a puddle of pee holding a ball of poo. yuck. We just keep praying Raven can get these things in the toilet…and I know someday she will.
Just try not to get this song stuck in your head.
walk much?
February 3rd, 2011 | Hazel | video | walking
she can totally walk and run…but refuses to do it without the walker/stroller/chair/or holding on to something else. silly girl.
holidays
January 3rd, 2011 | Christmas | cousins | Hazel | Raven | video
this year’s holiday activities have definitely kept us busy!
Christmas Eve Raven sang in the children’s choir at our church service! It was her first time!
(raven is on the left)
Christmas day we celebrated as a family! Here are a couple cute pics…
The day after Christmas we had the Willis families over for a huge celebration! It was a lot of fun having everyone over! Raven had a blast with her cousins! She keeps saying to me, “Today my cousins are coming over again! Doesn’t that sound fun?”
Matt and I also had a great NYE out on our own and skiing the next day! Great start to a great new year!
Happy Birthday Hazel!

We are looking forward to celebrating this little firecracker today! The party is this afternoon…there will be more pictures to come!
found it!

found the camera cord!
last weekend we went down to magnolia village to see the lighting of the Christmas tree. unfortunately it was raining, but we didn’t let it stop us…the girls were freezing by the end of the night, but it was a fun night with friends.
Raven and Eliana weren’t too sure about this Christmas tree thing in the rain…in the cold…but they perked up when we got cookies and candy later :)
…and this week… we got snow!
