I have never laughed so hard as I did this night. I love my daughter so very much, and I don't think that I appreciate these little moments as much as I should. I am so scared to miss out on so much, (with how busy my life is about to come), that I need to make sure that I treasure these little moments.
We play this game, I get out the camera and Lyss decided what emotion we are going to show, then we take the picture. I bet we were doing this for over an hour and just gut laughing each time we looked at our pics. She is so smart, and could come up with ideas, that I couldn't even think of. She is such an amazing little girl, and I love her so deeply.

Cupcake fun again

As you all know from previous posts one of our favorite things to do with the girls is to make cupcakes. The girls like it too, especially the frosting part. This was a lazy Saturday when we had Avery again, so we thought it would be fun to make up a quick batch. The girls got into it a little bit more this time, helping with the mixing and adding of the water and eggs. They both took turns even filling the cupcake pans (a little messy but fun). Hope you all enjoy our fun baking pictures. Can't wait to do it again.

Such good little helpers

Stirring and tasting

Getting the pans ready

Diego cupcake papers of course

Frosting is always the best part of course

Messy mugs:) All worth it

2 year olds AUGH!!!

Remember the lotion incident well, this was two days later. We had just gotten home for the day. I had to stop and get some groceries so we were a little later than usual. We get in the house and Alyssa goes in her room, while I keep bringing in the groceries. Not 10 minutes later she comes out to the kitchen in only her panties and white stuff all over her. I took me a minute to decide what had happened. Little did I know that it was this bad. Two bottles of baby powder all over her and her room. If you look at the pictures and they seem cloudy it is just from the smoke the powder had left behind. You couldn't even breath in there, and when I started to vacuum it up it made the smoke worse. It had cleared out enough to finally get everything wiped down and cleaned up and Alyssa in the tub. What a mess, but her room did smell good after it.

Her hair was so dirty...........

Ok, so remember my last post of my cute, funny little 2 year old? Well WHAT happened?? We get Avery often to come over and stay when her mom and dad are working. Well this night that is what was going on. Being the good mom and Auntie that I am, I got them both in the tub and I let them play in the tub way past time. Finally I got them both out dried off, lotioned up in pj's and hair combed pretty. They were being so good just sitting in Alyssa's room watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. I was in the other room, but could hear both of them talking back to the TV answering the questions Mickey was asking. After a little while I thought that I had better go and check on them and.....this is what I found.

She told me that Avery's hair was soooo dirty, she just had to wash it. Well she is washing it will a whole bottle of shea butter lotion. If you have ever used shea butter lotion you know that a little bit goes a long way. Well a lot is harder than hell to get out of a 2 year olds hair. Alyssa is also using a wet wipe to help wash it in. Wet-wipe + Lotion = sudsy mess!!

Poor Avery, she was not feeling that good that night anyway, and she just let Lyss play beauty shop with her. By the time I got her undressed to go back into the tub she had had it. As you can tell by the pic.

Here are the two little trouble makers after the second bath! How can you not just laugh after everything is cleaned up and done.

They are best little buddies though, they can be so fun and so cute when the want to be and defiantly make a huge mess really quick when they want to too. Alyssa always calls Avery "My sister Avery". They get along so well and love each other so much. I just love this picture of the two of them together. I hate to see Avery move away (only to Santaquin) but still it will be hard for Lyss (and me) not to have her over all they time.

SMILE...

So Alyssa is so into having her picture taken, and making funny faces. This is one of our favorite games to play. She makes a sad face, silly, mad, shy...and we look at them on the camera afterwards and laugh and laugh. I also absolutely do not mind getting fun pictures of her to share with everyone either. Especially since I haven't taken her to get her pictures taken in about a year. (I know horrible mom) It has just been so hard to find the time not to mention the money. So here are a few of our fun snap shots taken the other day, or other month I should say. Hope you like them and smile as much as I do when I look at them.

Silly face

I told her to say peace and she yells out pieces!! So funny I laughed forever.
