Dance Show - Audrey

Audrey had a recital, six months, or so, ago. The entire video is blurry but you have to watch it till the end to see Audrey's silly exit. She never knows the routine but always LOVES to do the show.

 

Easter 2013

The night before Easter, putting their eggs and baskets out for the Easter bunny. These two were so excited.

 

We celebrated Easter at our house with our family. It was a perfect evening.

Livy's 2nd Bday Party

Liv Lately

Me: "Liv do you want to take a class?"
Liv: "Yes, a baway (ballet) cwass and a Minnie cwass"

Me: "Liv, eat your asparagus, okay."
Liv: "I can't eat it, it's a plant."

Livy is 2!

Happy 2nd Birthday to our silly Livy!!! We love you so much we could just burst! 

Liv is our super smart and silly girl. She loves to play with the older girls and she remembers everything she hears. She's always taking notes and trying keep up with Audrey. She is very determined and knows what she wants. She's confident and doesn't care what others think... at all. She really likes to figure things out, she'll sit patiently with anything and work at it till she gets it right. She loves learning new games on the ipad and doing puzzles. She is really good with names. She knows all her cousin's names and all Audrey's friend's names. She loves to go to Target and Chuck E Cheese. She was SO excited for Chuck E Cheese on her Birthday. 

She knows her shapes, colors, loves to count and can recognize her name. She learned all of these things on her very own around 18 months. She learned her name from her nursery leaders writing it on her papers. I guess Kyle must be smarter than I give him credit for, because we all know she's not getting her smarts from me. She amazes us every day and she brings so much fun into our lives.

She always says, "I wanna go to target and buy some pink stuff, pweeeeeeze!!!" 

She's obsessed with her watches she's accumulated three or four of them, all the snap on kind. She's always got her eye out for another one. 

She still lays in her dirty/nasty bouncy chair (the kind babies use). If she ever gives it up, it's going straight into the trash! 

She loves her blankie, heaven forbid we ever lose it.

She calls herself "Ivie".

She often calls me "amy" when she's really excited or other people are around. 

She loves, loves, loves girly accessories. She carries a little back pack or purse full of them everywhere we go. 

Happy number 2 to our favorite number 2!

This girl and her outfits. She always wants my opinion. She thought for sure I would, "like DIE" over this one.

Vday 2013

We love our Valentine.

Audrey turns 5 !!!!

Audrey had a "spa night, pajama party" for her Birthday. She really wanted a slumber party so we compromised. All the girls were hilarious getting their hair and make up done. The girls made appointments for all their treatments.

Zoo Day

We had a lovely zoo day at Santa Ana Zoo.

 These birds are awesome! They were repeating everything, everyone was calling out to them. Highlight, for sure!

Breakfast w Audrey

For the past couple months Audrey and Liv have started to really enjoy each other. Audrey makes Liv breakfast almost every morning. It always includes hot choc or lemonade and some sort of a "set up". Usually it's outside but sometimes she sets up the tent inside for a clubhouse breakfast. When it's inside, she brings the portable dvd player and sets up a movie that she knows Liv will enjoy. It's so funny. It always makes a mess but I love the way Audrey has gotten so independent and creative and it allows her to serve her sister in such a thoughtful way. She spent the night at Aunt Kellie's house recently and I was kinda sad not watch her creations that morning, but after we picked her up she remembered and got right to work on a little lunch set up for Liv.
