It's been forever since I've updated our blog! The girls are getting so big, so I thought I would post some up to date pictures of them. Of course they were both eating their snacks, so they aren't exactly the cleanest girls...

Maddy's dream finally came true when she found out that Mamacheri's pool was open for the summer. She has been asking to go swimming every week all year long! She loves to spend time in the pool with Ryan, Erynn, and Josh.

Sarah doesn't remember being in the pool since she was just a wee little baby last summer. She is definately a fan of the swimming pool. This girl LOVES to splash...




A few weeks ago we decided to spend the evening on the beach for Family Home Evening. It was perfect because it was still really warm, but we didn't have to worry about the girls getting burned!

Sarah loves the sand, not only does she play in it... she eats it.

Joseph buried Maddy, and she thought that was the coolest thing ever

We got the toddler bed out so the girls can get used to another bed being in their room. As soon as the baby comes, and out grows the bassinet, Sarah will move out of the crib and into the toddler bed. We moved Maddy into a twin bed back in March so the changes wouldn't come all at once! I wondered what Sarah would think of this new bed until I found her reading in it. She loves it so far, but she's never slept in it...

It really has been a while since I've posted pictures! Here are some from when we went up to Columbia to visit Uncle Ryan, Uncle Stephen and Aunt Naomiback in May. Grandmama and Grandaddy came too, and we spent the weekend together. We got to see Ryan's new house, and Stephen and Naomi's new house. The girls also got their first taste of a zoo!

Maddy was very impressed, but Sarah just wanted to walk around with Grandmama. She didn't stay in the stroller for long!!

They had a place where you could feed the Giraffes. Of course you had to buy the lettuce in order to do it, and I never in a million years would have thought Maddy would be okay with a Giraffe eating out of her hand... but much to my surprise, she went around picking up the lettuce that the other kids had dropped and started feeding them! It was so neat to watch. And the best part was... it was free! Thats my girl!! She's so smart ;)

Maddy found her dream house at the botanical gardens... it was cute to see her run inside and play.

We had a blast while we were in Columbia. Joseph and I also got to attend the Temple while we were there. I don't know the next time we will make it back since it's almost baby time!!
