Holly will be 2!

We had Holly's Party tonight, June14th. But her BDay is on the 15th. Such a big girl! She wants to keep up with her Ivy!
I'll post some party pictures tomorrow.

Meagan and Elise came to visit

My neice Meagan, and my great-neice came for a visit. It was so fun to see them! Little Elise is so sweet! Ivy really loves Babies! Especially cousin babies!

A few family highlights of the past several weeks

The day after Easter, I decided we were going to go "somewhere"! I told Dennis, either you can help me book this trip or I will do it myself, but we were going! We hadn't been anywhere (vacation) for nearly five years... due to kids.

So we decided on San Diego. I even talked my sister into going, for fun (and extra help with the girls). The girls did great on the plane, they didn't realize we were flying.

The weather was really nice, especially since we missed a huge snow storm in Utah while we were gone. We went to the San Diego Zoo, the Wild Animal Park, Sea World, and the Beach. The girls did much better than I anticipated. Ivy loved the Beach sand. Both girls loved The Elmo section of Sea World. It was a fun trip, just could have been longer.

The girls still ask to to go back to Sea World... So do I!

A few silly things Ivy has said...

Dennis was changing her (Ivy's) diaper a week or two ago. She proceeded to make sure he knew a few things... "Don't eat the poop, it's not a toy."

Dennis was doing some updates on my laptop, and she said; "The pink Dell is Mama's, Honey. You have the blue Dell". She likes to help keep Dad from getting confused.

Along those lines, she got upset at Dennis when he got in the driver's seat of the Durango. She said; "No! That's Mama's seat". She know where everyone belongs!

More...

Ivy went out to get some eggs from the chicken coop with her Dad. On the way, Ivy saw a Bee or two, she is VERY afraid of bees. Dennis tried consoling her so they could keep going. He told Ivy, they're not bothering you.... On the way back to the house, Ivy said; "The bee's not bothering me. But when when they do, it makes me want to pee my dress."

Happy Birthday Ivy

Just before my 'Birthday Girl' left for Pre-School

Ivy just celebrated her 4th Birthday earlier this month. She had her first party where she invited little friends. We did a little Princess theme, and the girls had a great time.

My Shabby Baby Girl

Shabby Apple is looking for the next Shabby Baby Girl

My little Holly would make a picture perfect little shabby baby!
She has a great disposition! All you'd need to do is dress her, and watch her go! It also wouldn't hurt to be sure she gets a pair of shoes too. She is my shoe girl! She is just as sweet as she is pretty!

I think she'd look amazingly adorable in this Hibiscus Dress:
