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.

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

Still Fishing

So as I have said many times before my husband is a fisherman BASS fisherman that is!! He would rather fish than eat I think. This spring he and Derrick had a fishing tournament about every weekend from March until May. These are a couple of fish that they caught in April at one of the tournaments when they took 2nd place. They fish the US Angler's Choice North Lake Powell Division. They did so well this year that overall they took 6th place and qualified for the US Angler's Choice Western Champion. This year it is held in Lake Havasu in September, 1st and 2nd place in this both win boats and money. That would be nice! I wish them luck, there will be a lot of good fishermen to compete against. One thing is for sure though....there will be many more fishing pictures to post I'm sure.

More Baby Kymber

I forget how fast they grow up. Kymber is right now at my favorite age. So chunky and cute, interested in everything and learning so fast. We don't get to see her very often but when we do I can't help taking pictures and just kissing those chubby cheeks.

Laughing at Lyss of course

Look at those legs, I love it

Alyssa just loves her too, but still needs to learn to be a little softer with her she forgets that she is little and can't take the rough-housing like Avery and the Twins do.

Easter 2008

I know that this post is just a little late (LOL), but I have not had a minute to update my blog, so here we go...This was Easter this year. This was the first time that we let Alyssa color Easter eggs, she had so much fun, and actually didn't get color everywhere. There were a couple of broken eggs in the process, but oh well. He absolute favorite thing was hunting for the eggs. I might of went a little overboard with the eggs. She had the ones she colored to find, plus a bunch of plastic ones filled with candy and money of course. The whole day she wanted to re-hid them so she could look for them again. It took me forever to actually get the eggs and basket away from her to put them up for next year. All in all it was a fun Easter at home!

FYI...pay no attention to the date at the bottom that is what happens when Daddy takes the camera.

Her favorite one PINK of course

Finding eggs, she wouldn't use her basket

Making cupcakes

Last weekend we went up to Cole & Heathers to make cupcakes. The girls were so excited, they help mix them and put them in the pan, but could not wait until they got done cooking. We let them have full rain on decorating them. They did a pretty good job, the frosting actually made it on the cupcakes and not just in their mouths. They girls were so cute with decorating them, I think they had a blast. Good call Heather, we will have to do this again soon.

Blowing kisses

Cupcake kisses!

Yummy!!!
