Current Events

We've been playing in the doll house...literally. 

 We've been buidling lots of forts, and having parties.  As you can see everyone is invited to one of Kinsie's parties.

 We've been getting lots of good reading time in.  We like to do it in style around these parts.

 We've been coloring and drawing.  Lately I've been doing most of the drawing while the girls watch.

 We've been enjoying spending lots of time with this little beauty.  LOVE HER!!!

We've been seeing lots of family.  Chad's sister was recently in town and we got to spend lots of quality time with her and her new little guy Dominic.  He and Mylie are only 25 days apart.  Chad's dad was also put in as a Stake President for one of BYU's young single adult stakes.

 We've not been able to get enough of our little ladies smiles.  They make my heart burst!

We've been visiting the temple.  When we went down to participate in Chad's dad getting set apart we decided to take the girls to see the Provo temple. They've redone a lot of the surrounding grounds, so we spent some time walking around taking it all in.  It was also fun to see all of the missionaries and watch the girls interact with them.

We've been getting in some tummy time and practicing sitting up in the car seat.

We've been getting ready for Dannie's upcoming wedding.  Yep, Kinsie's birthmom is engaged and scheduled to be married on May 5th.  Kinsie and Britnee are going to be flower girls.  We're so excited for her and Francesco. 

We're also busy getting ready for Easter and Mylie's baby blessing.  But who am I kidding?  Life is just plain busy nowadays, but we're trying to keep it full of laughter and fun family times too.

Grateful???

Yesertday Kinsie and Britnee woke up at 6:15.  This is not normal for my girls.  They usually end up making their way out of bed around 7:30.  Not that much later, but it does give me an extra hour of sleep.  Now that extra hour may not seem like that big of a deal to most of you, but when I'm getting up in the middle of the night to feed Mylie that extra hour is heaven.  Especially since Mylie likes to wake up at 6:00 to eat again. 
So, when I finally got Mylie back to sleep this morning (after her 6:00 feeding) my heart sank when I heard the sound of "mommy" escaping from behind the girls closed door.  It was only 6:45.  I decided to stay in bed and let them play for awhile only to be continually awakened (and annoyed) by the fighting and crying that began to ensue. 
As I laid in bed struggling to make my eyes open it dawned on me that daylight savings begins this weekend.  Oh joy!  (That comment is laced with sarcasm)  I then thought to myself that I shouldn't be shocked with the shift in the girls sleeping habits.  This always happens.  For some reason my two babies have a sixth sense when it comes to this time of the year.  They know that change is coming.  They know the clocks are going to be moved ahead one hour.  They know that I'm going to need to wake up an hour earlier than normal.  They somehow have all of this information hardwired in into their little subconsciousness and are simply getting me geared up for it.  So I suppose I really should be grateful that they are getting up earlier than normal...right!?
