~March~

It was a busy month and the weather is finally starting to warm up. I can't believe how fast March went.

::Kimberly::

01. She is mommy's big helper. She is always willing to help me.
02. She got to go to Disney on Ice and Loved it.
03. She asks to watch Despicable me often.
04. She is in 2 dance classes and is loving them. I love how fast she is learning and how excited she gets to go to dance on Thursdays.
05. Her hair is getting so long I'm thinking about giving her a hair cut (She has only had it trimmed once)
06. If she asks a question and we say no she will keep asking it. (like its going to change our answer!)
07. She is LOVING puzzles
08. She would play outside all day if she could
09. Still a thumb sucker but we are working on it.
10. She was starting to eat a lot of snacks during the day so I had to start not letting her have any unless she ate her meals. It has taken some work on both our parts but she is doing a good job of eating her meals again.

::Ali::

01.She is a butt scooter, and is all over the house now. (not to bad at getting into things but I really have to watch her)
02. She is a mamma's girl and I love it. I love how excited she gets when I pick her up and the loves she gives me.
03. She has started doing a lot of signs. Like more, all done, bye bye, etc. 
04. She is really trying to say more these days. (like Duck "du, du")
05. She points at everything. That little finger is always out.
06. She always wants to eat especially when we are.
07. She is still a binkie baby but I am trying to only give it to her at bed time. Its hard for both of us to break some habits.
08. I still can't believe how small she is. She is a petite little thing.
09. Still has little hair, but I did get her hair in small ponytail.
10. She does not like any stuffed animal that is bigger than her, hates the big bouncy balls, I think she is going to be a timid person like me.
11. Had her first Easter and St. Patrick's day

~Easter~

 We had a super busy Easter weekend!!!!!!! 

Our Easter started when Grandma Patti called and said her house had got egged. She asked if Kimberly wanted to join Nick in finding all the eggs.

 Then Saturday morning we headed to an egg hunt at Labrum park. Danielle, Justin, Dominick, Kaydence, Kamden, and Aunt Kylee joined us. The park always throws a great hunt and the kids left with a ton of goodies.

 We then went to breakfast at Virg's. Kimberly got a scone and piece of ham as big as her head and pretty much ate the whole thing herself. We then went out and the girls got to open their presents from Maga, Papa, Kylee, and Kenzi.

 We then headed out to Rush Valley to Janica's moms house for another egg hunt. She was so kind and invited us out to her house. It was so nice and quiet out at her house. We got to meet her horses, the girls weren't sure about them. The girls left with a ton of treats and toys.

 After we got home we did some yard work and then colored some eggs. Ali wanted the cups so bad! I love doing these projects with the girls. It was a long, eventful day!

 The girls woke up around 830 and we watched a little tv. The night before Kimberly put her Easter basket on the table and in the morning it was gone. She looked all over the house and couldn't find it. We called Aunt Keesha and maga and papa, she told them about the bunny taking her basket. We kind of joked with her that the bunny took the basket to another little girl that was good. She then says "but I'm a good girl!" it kind of broke my heart. But then Daddy came in from feeding the dogs and told her he saw eggs outside. So we headed out and she found all of the eggs with a little help from mommy and Ali. She was so excited especially when she found her basket in the house of her swing set.

 The girls got new pj's. Don't you love their faces!!

 I thought it was pretty cool both the girls on their first Easter with a new book. The first picture is Kimberly at about 7 months (Her first Easter) and Ali at 11 months. These girls do love their books. Man Kimberly really did steal all the hair!

 Ali found and opened a sucker! That little stinker.

 After breakfast we went over to Great Grandma's to have another egg hunt. The girls had so much fun and Ali loved the cupcakes grandma great made!

After a rest at home we went to Grandma's for dinner. It was a VERY busy Easter but it was a great Easter. Thank you everyone that spoiled our girls. They were in heaven all weekend!!

~Spring fun~

 We have had a pretty busy month! We have been enjoying the warmer weather.

Kimberly got to go to Disney on Ice with Grandma Patti and Aunt Natalie. She loved the show!

 Our little Cinderella waiting for grandma and aunt Natalie to get her.

 Kimberly learning to use chop stix. She did a pretty good job!

 I realized I didn't take a picture of the girls on St. Patrick's day! Which I am very sad about because it was Ali's first. But here is a picture of Kimberly's day at dance.

 Playing outside in the nice weather with the Afa kids. It was so nice!!!

 Night walk with Danielle and kids!

 More outside fun

 Kimberly is loving puzzles! She did this 24 piece all by herself.

 Ali's first ponytail!

 Shades!!!!!

~11 Months Old~

~Ali is 11 months old!~

Poor sick girl!!! I felt so bad she was holding her tummy and looking at me like this! 

I can't believe in one short month Ali will be 1 year old!!!! It has been a great/fun 11 months with this beautiful little girl.

01. She is FINALLY mobile! She is a butt scooter. Still has no interest in crawling!

02. She had the stomach flu on the day she turned 11 months old. I felt so bad for her but she was still a happy baby for the most part.

03. Still only has two teeth.

04. She loves playing with big sisters toys (even if Kimberly doesn't like)

05. She doesn't pull her self up to stuff ( I think she will be a late walker like her big sister)

06. She loves to share. She is always trying to hand me things, especially her binkie.

07. She always throws things like toys, food, her bottle when she is done with it. Not sure why she does this.

08. She loves to eat everything is sit. If you have food and you don't give her some she gets really mad.

09. She loves seeing herself on my iphone. At dinner I was scrolling threw pictures she kept talking, kissing, and laughing at the pictures of her and Kimberly.

10. She loves being outside! And loves to be out of her car seat when we got to the stores.

11. She still takes about 3 naps a day. ranging from one hour to three.

12. She wears size 3 diapers and wearing 12 month clothes. 

13. Today I tried on some shoes and she is a size 2 (she has such little feet, they have only grown about a half an inch sense last summer)

14. Still a binkie baby but I am working on only giving it to her at bed time.

15. She isn't catching onto the sign language like Kimberly did but I am still working on it with her. It gets quit annoying when she just sits there wining. 

16.Her eyes are still very blue!

::Kimberly::

01. Loves and knows a lot of the words to "marry you" the song.

02. Loves to go bowling

03. I had Great grandma Dyches watch the girls for a couple hours and Kimberly pretty much kicked me out of the door. (She really loves her grandma great)

04. She has been having more attitude than before. (At Walmart with my mom Kimberly was sitting in the cart and my mom asked her if she wanted pink animal cookies or try the new green ones, she would not answer her so we held them up to Ali she picked the green one. We started walking away and Kimberly says I don't want the green ones. So we asked her if she wanted the pink one and she said no again. So we walked away with the green ones. As we got up to the register to check out she picks up the bag of cookies and throws them over the cart onto the floor!!!!!!! I was shocked she has never acted this way. Oh boy I love 3 year old's!!!

05. She has started asking the time all the time. So I tell her then she says "why?".

06. Had her first sleep over it was with Anela at our house. They did really good. We will have to do it again! 

07. These days she would choose green beans over spaghetti. She has never been a fan of red sauce.
