Tay-le-po

The cutest little girl to ever wake from her nap...

I'm biased- I know...but, she's so fun to play with when she gets up because she is just so irresistibly happy. I just want to squish her! Don't mind the lips- she had a red popsicle before her nap.

Pre-school fun

Horsey, Horsey

Kate and Taylor had so much fun riding these ponies today. They also got to hold and play with bunnies, lizards, a chinchilla, a hedgehog, a parrot and a little brand-new puppy. The girls now want some pets around our house...

Old Man Winter...

... paid us a visit last night. For little kids, there is something so magical about waking up to snow in the morning, especially if you live in Texas. This was Kate and Taylor's first experience with snow, but Kate knew just what to do...build a snowman, make snow angels, and throw snowballs. The snow only lasted a few hours...a perfect winter.



The Easter Bunny is Here ... & some B&W from the park


















Some pictures from our neighborhood Easter Party on Saturday. The girls were really excited to meet the Easter bunny and she, (yes, the bunny is a "she"!) brought her friend, Peter Rabbit, along for the day. As you can see, this was an actual, live bunny and the kids went NUTS when he was unveiled . Everyone got a turn to pet him and then it was off to the Easter egg hunt! I just cannot explain how fun it is to have kids who understand and enjoy these things...

I Highly Recommend...

It has completely and totally changed my perspective on parenting. After reading this, I feel like I'm spending less energy getting my kids to behave- and it really works. I have my two year old doing things that absolutely amaze me. It really does teach what it says- how to parent as Christ would. In fact, as you implement the principles like patience, joy, love, and non-reviling, you actually become more Christlike yourself and your children behave so much better in the process- killing two birds with one stone! If you haven't already read this, please pick up a copy- it will definitely be worth your while. I just cannot say enough good things about it...

PS- You can buy it online at Deseretbook.com- I'm not sure if the guy is LDS or not so it might be at regular bookstores. I actually bought mine at Amazon.com.
