I have wanted to come to this spot to take pictures of the girls and Rob forever...so today we finally did! A hot husband...two cute girls...can a girl ask for more? (maybe a job??) This is a CLASSIC Ava face.
Not sure where this face came from....

My most favorite one!

Free fun

So I saw on the Donnelly's blog that they went to Circus Circus to check out the free circus acts. For lack of better things to do, we decided to check it out. Interesting....whoever came up with the idea to ride around on unicycles and catch bowls on your head??? (it was actually pretty entertaining!)
Don't you love her hair (our little strawberry blond!). Daddy did it...he lovingly parted it down the side!

Playing outside

I love my girls. They make me smile!

Strange.....

Does anyone find it strange that this is the most expensive inauguration ever and yet there are millions of people out of jobs and our country is in a recession??????? (This is not a political statement...just a frustrating point since a gov't job we really wanted and have been waiting to hear back from was "cancelled". Maybe one of the fireworks displays in Washington could have been our year's salary. Nice thought.)

Random pics

Last week we were able to attend the baptism of our neighbor! He asked Rob to baptize and confirm him. (We referred the missionaries to him a few months ago) It was such a great experience. (These are the sister missionaries who taught him the lessons) On a sad note, I was released from my calling as YW Beehive advisor the same day. I have been in YW for 4 years, and now I feel like a long lost soul in Relief Society. I actually cried when they told me they were releasing me! So Big. Brooklyn's newest trick! I just can't get enough her her chubby little hands.

Brooklyn has decided to boycott baby food. She wants the real stuff. So here she is enjoying a meal of beans. (She refuses to eat them if I grind them up...big people food please!)

Does this look like a guilty face????

Burning off some Steam

My baby dancing!

Swimming

We found a fun pool to swim in the other day. The water is SO warm. Brooklyn was falling asleep while in the water. And it has this great little kiddie pool with fountains and buckets of water that drop on you.

This picture is right when the water dumped on Ava. (She thought it was funny!)

Brooklyn's first swimming pool experience!

Family Time

A few nights ago I was looking for a recipe on allrecipes.com. Ava saw a picture of a gingerbread house and has wanted to make one ever since. Christmas is LONG gone, but I thought it would be fun to make one out of graham crackers. And to complete the long gone Christmas spirit, she picked out the Grinch to watch! Anyways we had a fun time making our incredibly awesome homemade house! Brooklyn enjoyed the activity as well considering there was an endless amount of graham crackers for her to consume (her current favorite!)

The finished product!

The many faces of Brooklyn

Brooklyn decided to boycott her afternoon nap, so I decided to take some fun pictures of her. I wanted her to smile, and I got every face but a smile! I finally got a great big grin at the end! She has started rolling and things won't be the same. She'll get into Ava's stuff, which drives Ava nuts!
