I have been a very lame blogger lately! Thanks to gentle reminders from family and friends, I decide to do a post. This post will probably be long and boring for you--but one day my children will enjoy it!
COSETTE TURNS 2
It is hard to believe that my little baby that slept 22 hours a day for the first 6 months of her life, has turned 2! She must have slept all that time to save her energy for her 2's--- because boy is she active!! She is into anything and everything, has no fears, and loves to climb-- I am worn out! She loves going to the park, playing with her playgroup friends and singing. She is always happy and keeps us laughing!
DISNEYLAND TRIP
We snuck in another fun trip to Disneyland. We are very fortunate to have my brother and his family that live close by. They are always good to let us stay at their house and we are glad they were able to join us for one of the days. This time we spent 2 of the days at a hotel. The girls enjoyed this extra treat. Once again the crowds were slim, so we had little or no wait time. This was especially nice when we hit Splash Mountain 17 times in a row!
Olivia's favorite show is "The Incredibles" so she was extra excited when she was able to get Mr. Incredible's picture and autograph.
Cosette loved the Pooh Bear ride! She talked all day about how she got to hug Pooh Bear and Tigger---sure wish she would have smiled!
EASTER
CINCO DE MAYO
Because we are always looking for a good excuse to party, we started celebrating Cinco de Mayo last year (my sister's great idea), We have homemade enchiladas, arroz, and frijoles. We then learn the Mexican Hat Dance and sing Happy Birthday in Spanish. After that we decorate bags to use when we gather our pinata booty---and then we end the night with breaking the pinata!
My girls think I am amazing---so they are convinced I made the pinata---shhh--don't tell them any differently!
This was the first year blindfolding Olivia--it got dangerous a few times.
But not nearly as dangerous as when we blindfolded Cosette! We had to turn her blindfold into a turban!
MOTHER'S DAY
I had a great Mother's Day (as always). My girls were sick so Robert stayed home and I was able to enjoy all of Sacrament Meeting. When I came home, they made a delicious meal and gave me some great gifts. Olivia made the cute planter at a kid's workshop at Lowe's. It is adorable and she was quite proud of it. Thank you Robert, Olivia and Cosette for all of the great gifts and for making the day special!

Thank you for posting~ your family is so cute! I can't believe you really got to go on Splash Mountain 17 times in a row. Are you serious? How fun! And did you make Cosette's b-day cake? That thing looks incredible. I love all the pics and don't wait too long before your next post :)
I was wondering if you fell off the face of the blogging world! Welcome back! Love all the updates...I also want to know if you made that cake for Cosette????? Yummy.
Sheri- I'm so glad you updated your blog!!! I did too, but mine is not quite as interesting and much longer. I love reading about your cute girls and all the fun you are having. You are such a great mom!
Ok Lady! It's been QUITE sometime. Let's see some pictures of those cute girls!
