E vs E - 2013

 

Another great year with two GREAT girls!

Do you want to chase those Geese?

 We came across some geese today while driving in Draper.

 

The girls wanted to see them so I pulled the car over.

 

 

"Do you girls want to chase those geese?" I ask

 

"YES!!" they yelled

 

....and that was a pretty fun random moment... just for the heck of it.

Crafty Sunday

We thought we would get a head start on our Valentine projects today.

Valentine Boxes

 

 

 

We saw this idea on Pinterest and was able to make it with
just things we found around the house.

Super easy and the girls had a lot of FUN!

More Snowy Fun

 

We wanted to build a snow fort but the snow was too powdery.

 

So the girls and the dogs just ran and played.

 

Poor Bella was one giant snowball.

 

Molly in her normal 'crazy bolt straight at you' run!

 

Bella didn't last long in the snow...she was cold and worn out.

Our new pet!

 

Jed gave me a miniature donkey for Christmas!

 

His name is Mega Jackpot.... I will probably just call him Jack.

He's a cute little ass. I love him!

Christmas Day 2012

 

Emmy enjoys a good coat of fresh snow!

 

All bundled up in her new pink winter accessories.

 

Mmmm....just got to get some more of that yummy snow!

 

Erin was excited to try out her new 'Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.'

 

Jed helped load her ammo.

 

She had a blast!

 

She's a pretty good shot too.

E vs E 2012

 

They are like night and day...but still very similar.

 

Happy Birthday!

Measure Time

 

We measure the girls every 6 months. It's amazing how fast they grow.

The girls love to see their new marks.
