Pedicures

After one of the BYU basketball games ended, my mom brought out her pedicure bath and asked if the girls wanted to soak their feet and use her smelly lotions.  They were of course game, and after awhile they'd done pedicures on me, on my mom, and even on my dad.  I've spent so much time at my parents' house over the last few years and it never occurred to me to pull this stuff out to entertain my girls - they had a great time!

I'm not sure he'd admit, it but I think he actually enjoyed having his feet babied a bit.



Austin and Erica's open house

Have I mentioned there was face painting at this wedding? 



Hanging out with Allison - she had a painted face and a swollen lip.



Allison with her swollen lip - she fell off my parents' bed and crashed into the dresser...right before the openhouse.

Austin and my mom dancing.  She told me it didn't really seem real that he was married until this dance.  It's fun how some of those wedding traditions actually seem to have a purpose.



Allison's birthday

Here are a few fun shots from Allison's second birthday. This time of year is always just insane for Michael and me, so we decided to forgo a birthday party and go to the Paul Derda Rec Center pool. My kids love this place, and honestly, Michael and I love this pool just as much. We swam our hearts out and hit the slides about 100 times, and then we went to Red Robin for dinner. It was very fun.

We also broke down and bought Allison the pottery barn kids stroller for her birthday. She has played with this so many times at the mall, and we've gone through about 10 of the cheaper strollers that aren't tall enough for our kids. She was so excited to see it, and it's been fun to see even big sister wanting to play with it. I just love having little girls, I love all of the pink!
