My First Post

So I have been wanting to start a blog for a long time! There are so many things I want to remember and afraid I will forget... especially as time flies by and my babies... now my little girls!... are growing so fast. So, thank you to Amber for introducing this to me; I have been following her blog for a few years. And finally got to starting my own! I am psyched! Now, my pictures will not be as beautiful as Amber's, as I am no photographer. But, hopefully one day she will get to take photos of these two little ones and I can post those.

Here is sweet Elena on Valentine's Day, the day Unckie Beth, Grandma and Jesse arrived. It was quite a day. The beginning of a birthday extravaganza!

 

 

Maren jumping on the trampoline

I really wanted a picture of them together but they were done at that point.  

 

 

This made us all laugh as Beth tried to take a picture of me

 and Elena popped her head in at the last second.

 

 

Cousin Jesse the next day, February 15th. 

He and Elena had SO much fun playing. I don't think our playroom has ever seen such mayhem. They were pirates, chasing bears; they had great fun together.

 

 

After Elena went to preschool, we went to lunch at

White Castle (her choice) and then to Jump Zone.

 

 

The whole fam heading to the top of a giant slide, Jesse, too

 

 

Maren ended up being afraid of the biggest slides, even though she has been on them before.

 

 

Meme went down one of the giant ones, too!

 

 

At the end they decided to try the Hurricane, which I was surprised

to see that Elena and Maren loved. Jesse, not so much!

 

Happy Birthday, my dear Elena! I cannot believe my baby girl is 4.

 I cannot wait to see what things the next year will bring us.
