Happy Easter -2011

We had the Happiest Easter with our TWO girls! I was so excited for family, fun and of course matchy outfits for my gals!




The Easter Bunny left an adorable spread...if I do say so myself! I'm always looking for a way to use a plastic table cloth (it's the ghetto in me)! Audrey was most excited about her pumpkin seed tutu (thanks megan!).




Liv exploded out of her outfit before sacrament was even over and I had to toss her little tights.

We partied with both my family and Kyle's family. It was such a treat. Natalie cooked a wonderful dinner and the decor was adorable.

Lately

This week my mom came over a couple times and watched Liv so I could get out with Audrey and have some fun, even though I can barely walk. We enjoyed the water over at the town center today. This hot weather is getting me excited for summer!

I also took Audrey to her dance class this week and it was extra fun b/c we haven't been together in a while.

Baby Liv has been hitting up the trampoline with the rest of the crew.

Liv'n Lately

I would just like to say how very grateful I am to our families for the TONS of help they have given us. We are SO blessed with such wonderful mothers and Grandma Joyce in our lives. Without them I would be one broke down momma! I can't even begin to say how grateful I am to Kyle for all his full-time help and patience for days straight. He such a good hubby and daddy, we Thompson girls are so lucky to have him. He is our "Prince Eric". Liv has been a dream so far, she sleeps most of the day and gets up a couple times at night. She has been so good to me, I just love her to bits already. I LOVE looking at her face and watching her expressions b/c she doesn't look like Audrey, she's a totally new little person. Audrey has been a dream big sister, like I knew she would be. She washes her little hands all on her own before she touches Liv's face. She is so proud of her little sister. If we can't talk her into doing something we say that Liv will come and then she jumps right up to do it. I still feel broken and useless but I know I'll heal eventually. These nursing contractions are epidural-worthy! I was in the same pain when I cried for epidural in the hospital. And, somebody left a hard, painful basketball in my stomach. Again, I don't know what I'd do without our moms. I'm just so grateful for all the help from friends and family and I'm so, so grateful for this new little dream-gal in my life.

Kyle took pics of Audrey having her first tea party with Liv. Audrey "took a-lax" (Audrey is always "taking a lax"...it's her way of saying that she needs to relax for a minute) with Liv after the party.

We've been enjoying lemonade service in the evenings, Audrey loves to put on a show in her random get-ups and then serve lemonade afterwards. Last night she was so upset she didn't have gloves like the princesses so Kyle took her to find some and she showed up with leg warmers on her arms, so funny.

Baby Liv

These are just a whole bunch of random pics in random order!

Special Day

Yesterday morning when Audrey woke up I told her it was her "special day" bc it was our last day together just the two of us and she is becoming a big sister. The first thing she asked was if she was playing with friends. Jodee totally had Audrey's special day in mind when I called her at the last second and invited her to join us. We went to pretend city and the girls had a great time. Here's a whole bunch of pics with nobody looking at the camera. Thanks to Jodee and her girls for the funnest "last day". Last night when Audrey said her prayer before bed it was mostly about pretend city and Brighton. The cutest part was, after her prayer she said "mommy, was I good to Brighton today?" I told her she was a very good friend and Brighton was too. It's so sweet the way the two of them work at their friendship!

Audrey's fav game at home is playing "summer". She makes lemonade and we go outside with our sunglasses on and she talks about how hot it is even though it's freezing. She can't wait for summer to come. As soon as we got to the fake beach she was soooo excited to play summer.

Audrey could have spent the entire day in the garden area. It was adorable.

Brighton was killing me her random detergent needs at the grocery store...

Lately

We started ballet (again). This time Audrey became a ballerina (constantly pretending to be a ballerina) before we started ballet class so things went very well. I tried to put her in ballet a little while ago but I should have known that you have to be a ballerina in order to attend class (we quit after two classes). Audrey just started her ballet obsession out of blue and when I took her to payless she transformed in front of everyone in the store, when she put her special ballet shoes on, for the first time. I will seriously never forget it, she was so excited and just couldn't stop the ballet moves from flowing. During class Audrey constantly leaves the group to give me quick kisses, it's so random but sweet. Kyle is going to take her on Thurs since I'll be in the hospital and I know he is gonna absolutely melt, especially if he gets the kiss treatment that I get. (thank you Megan for the cutest leg warmers...they warm my heart every week)

Audrey got her first pet at the grocery store the other night. She treats it like a pet and says she is ready for another one. We might have to go back for a dog since the cat has worked out so well. She is very good about feeding and taking care of him. He's the best animal I've ever heard of.

Audrey has had a HUGE gardening obsession, so we planted a little window garden a few weeks ago. She waters her garden every day and it's been really fun for both of us. She is always getting me to try new things...I'm def not the gardening type, that's why we do indoor gardening.
