Easter Dresses and 37 weeks

Since Easter Sunday is conference Sunday, we wore our Easter dresses today! 

We took some quick photos before we ran out the door for church. Sundays always seem to be so crazy at our house, no matter how much we prepare before. 



^^ My favorite thing about these pictures is that I didn't stage them at all. I asked them to stand next to each other and Abby grabs Jules and gives her a big kiss. They adore each other. Its so fun to listen to their conversations. They keep getting better and better as Juliet's vocabulary expands. Abby can understand her better than anyone. 


^^ This is what full term is looking like around here. I am feeling huge, but feeling really good. I have been so active this pregnancy and it has made the biggest difference. We are so excited to meet Baby Jane any time!!!



I love my two little girls and can't wait to add another one to our family!

February

February flew by! The weather was overall really nice and we kept busy with school and young women. 


^^ making funny faces with daddy. This was such a fun night. We went a tried a new little Italian place. It was pretty good, and was a fun adventure. Then we went and got a new phone for Kyle. I love simple family nights out like that


^^ Crazy hair. Juliet looks so dang cute when I put her hair in pigtails, but she will not leave them in!


^^ we made some new friends in our new ward. We had them over for dinner and games, and then they invited us over! I mean seriously? This never happens to us! Ha ha. But seriously we really do like the Ingolsbys.






^^ This is one of the funnest things we have been doing lately. On Sunday mornings Kyle and I sleep in and the girls come and wake us up when they get up. We all play and snuggle in bed for awhile. Its fun to laugh and hear Juliet tell us to "scooch" so she can get more room on a pillow.


^^ Abby is getting more and more into Primary. She likes to participate now when her name gets called. Kyle always takes these pictures so I can see how dang cute she is.


^^ I had new beginnings and I think it came together very, very well! It was so stressful, but turned out so cool. The Theme was "Embark in the Service of God". We had desserts from all over the world. I made a rice pudding from Portugal that Kyle loved. He said it tasted just like the real thing, which made me happy!



^^ We made Valentine's sugar cookies. The girls had a blast making a mess, and then we enjoyed stuffing our faces the next few days.


Abby loves to color. LOVES to color. All. the. time. The best is when she asks "Mommy, you color wis me?" I absolutely love coloring too! So we spend kind of an obscene amount of time coloring. We have gone through a lot of coloring books. Its one of the funnest things ever.



^^ One of the beautiful days we had. Every time  we had one of these days we had to take full advantage of it.


^^ hanging out at the Nissan dealership. Our awesome car ate a dvd. And we are still trying to get it fixed. Luckily they have a great area for kids!


^^ before we went to Arizona I wanted to get them some little backpacks to take on the airplane. I really wanted to get the cute skip hop bags on the left. Really bad. But then I saw the hideous disney themed ones. The girls hadn't seen the disney ones, but I knew how much they would love them if they saw them. I had a big, internal debate. The cute backpacks that I loved, or the ugly ones that they would absolutely love?! We got the ugly ones. And yes, they love them. More than anything. Its been very hilarious.


^^ mickey mouse pancakes!


^^ This is what happens when we take naps on Sunday while Juliet is awake... there was flour all over the kitchen!



^^ One Saturday we spent a really fun day in City Park. We love that park!


^^ Juliet insists on wearing her "Arial Jammies" as much as is humanly possible. It was her outfit of choice after church one day. And then she must have been so comfortable that she passed out on the floor.


^^ going walking. Our favorite is to go out on this route to the golf course path.


^^ more cuteness from primary. I seriously can't get enough.


^^ we took the coolest slow motion videos of Kyle throwing the girls up in there. These are two still shots from them.


^^ My beautiful princesses. I love it when they play so cute together. It is really one of the greatest things in the world. They have the cutest little relationship. Abby can understand better than anyone what it is that Juliet is trying to say. It has saved me a million times when I can't figure out what she wants, and Abby comes in and translates for me. They have the cutest conversations because Abby talks to Juliet like she would any one else. I can't believe we are going to add another sweet little girl to this mix. Abby is so excited about Baby Jane. She will talk to her in my tummy, and give her kisses. Juliet will give my tummy kisses too when we start talking about baby Jane. Juliet loved seeing our new little cousin Baby Vera, I hope she loves little Jane as much when she realized baby Jane won't be going anywhere. ha ha.

January

January started out very, very cold and full of snow. One day we took full advantage of it and build some pretty legitimate snowmen. The girls loved them, but some punk kids knocked them down the same day! 


Jules hugging the snowman


Abby enjoying the snow


^^ cute selfie with daddy and Jules


^^ Abby started in Primary as a Sunbeam! She had a rough time the first few weeks and we had to work hard to get her to go in to her class. She was really worried about Juliet and we would have to go check on her in Nursery before she would go into Sunbeams. Now she loves it! She is just so big and sweet. 



^^gorgeous sunset from the school



^^ we bought a new car! Poor little pedro started to give out on us. We got stranded down in centennial on our way to Ikea one Saturday because the breaks went out. Luckily they were able to fix the breaks, but there was a lot of other work that it needed to get done. We needed a new car anyway because we needed something bigger to fit all our carseats in! And the Nissan Pathfinder took the cake. It fits 7, and is a smaller SUV, but its perfect for us! We are absolutely in love with it! 


^^ beautiful girls in their Sunday dresses


^^Abby's favorite thing, silly faces. She loves to make us a laugh and always has to be doing something silly. 


^^saying goodbye to Pedro


^^I love this sweet little girl. She is always good for a smile and hug. She is the most affectionate person. She knows how to make people feel loved and important. 


^^ working on new bedding for Baby Jane's room. Even though almost everything that little girl will have will be hand-me-down, I wanted her to have something that was new. So she has a new nursery! I'll put more pictures up when we have it all put together. 


^^ 28 weeks! Getting ready for a date night with Kyle. We went to this really delicious steak house in Parker. They bring the steak out just barely seared on a hot "lava" plate and then you finish cooking it the way you want it. It was so fun and a cool experience. I love spending time with that man. He is so fun and we have so much together. 


^^ one week it was absolutely beautiful and we went on a full 3 mile walk. Juliet passed out on the way back home. 


^^ picnic at the park later that week. We just soaked up all the beautiful weather we could while it lasted! 


The girls are getting a good stash of dress ups and accessories. I love seeing how creative they get with their outfits. 



^^ Cute little Abby wanted me to take a picture of her.


January was a very fun month. 2015 got off to a really good start!
