Arteeeest

Audrey painted this horse all by herself.

This is the only egg dying pic that I got. We colored eggs the day before we painted but she wore one of my shirts for an apron. She's getting too big!

The other painting project was this little birdhouse. She did the whole thing without any help. I was pretty impressed. She was very thorough and followed directions very well.

Clara bug really wanted to help so she "painted the wall.

Lunch with Jamie

Although I wasn't very good at inviting we had a successful luncheon last week when Jamie and Nathan were here. I'm not too good at pictures so I just tried to get most of us in them. (These are all of them Jamie.) The second pic is Audrey breakin' in the kids table for breakfast.

Tacoma PBR

Double chin!!!!!!!!

I missed last year but every year me and Dad get to see the bullriders at the Tacoma Dome. It's sooo much fun for me! Perry Rushton usually comes too but I didn't have any pics of him and this year some of dad's friends came and brought his grandson. I think he was about 7ish. It was his first time and it was too fun to watch him. We got to sit pretty stinkin' close so those bulls were pretty cool to him.

One of my fav parts is the intro were all the cowboys come out to be introduced. Then we can yell and scream for our favs!! There's Ross!

Easter EGGS!!!

Clara is surprisingly good at hunting eggs. She espesially likes the real ones cause they're cold. Audrey had lots of fun too. She snuck downstairs early and came back up stairs letting us know that the Easter Bunny had come and she "sneaked a peak" at all the eggs under the couch and the pillows!

For Easter dinner we went to the Chappell's after church. Clara slept most of the time but after she woke up we got a few pictures. Audrey even had so much fun that she didn't make it all the way to the toilet when she had to go potty. She was pretty upset but went right back to playin'.

Egg Hunting Experts

This year was Audrey Mae and Clara's first public hunt. It was a joke. They tried to make it cool but there were about 2 million people in the toddler-3yr group and enough eggs for about 20. So Audrey found the one that had been trampled and was pleased as punch. I couldn't put Clara down for fear of her being trampled so she got to "find" Audrey's egg a couple of times. It turned out to be pretty fun for our amateur hunters, now turned pro.

One of the highlights of the event was the HUGE worm in the grass at the start line while we were waiting. It was gigantic, like snake size! Audrey couldn't keep her eyes off of it! Also as you can see, she got to wear her bunny ears. Grama Inman found them for her and she loves them. Last week at the luncheon with the cousins, she was searching for her bunny ears(that she doesn't have) so Grama fixed that. We are so Lucky!!

Happy Easter Dresses

Two princesses!! Actually, Audrey was a queen on Easter. She was beside herself with BEAUTY! We are so lucky that Granny is a pro garage saler. (That might be the best 25cents she ever spent.)
I asked Jerm to get close ups and while they were standing, to get thier shoes. Maybe next time I'll just do it!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Often times when Audrey wants to give me something, she says Happy Birthday. And that was the case with our latest treasure......

Sunday morning Photo Shoot

Here's Clara's twinner hairdo with one of Em's postings of Sydney. A couple of Sundays ago while Audrey was sleeping right before (1:30 UUGGHH!) church, we couldn't help but to take tons of pics. She was acting so funny and cute, duh!
This is one of my fav hand-me-downs from Audrey. It's a little early but she'll grow into it sooner than ya know it!

New Easter Shoes

Here are the shoes that I have been meaning to go get for more than a month. Around here everyone has shoes from Wally World and Freds, so we had to travel to the hill.

Guess Who

Audrey Mae

My little future stylist in action. She loves this PlayDo hair grower thing.

Our snack reminded us of spring with all the pretty colors, we can't wait for warm, playin' outside weather!!

Clara Bug

She loves to mop the floor.

Both girls love this rotating fish lamp thing and they each lay directly in front of it just squeeling!

While Audrey was napping one day, Clara snagged her tutu. She thought she was queen for the day. (Yes, she's standing on her b-day poster 2 months later, I guess I better recycle it......)

Next she found Audrey's hat, lucky!

Attn: Em

Kids...

I don't know why we bother with all those cool toys, the recycling fits our Clara-bug just fine!(Yep, there's the remains of the box of chocolates that I bought for myself the day after Valentines Day, half off!! Don't worry I took care of the whole thing myself...) I've really got to watch the garbage with her too, GROSS!!

Audrey was playing with playdo and made a flower garden. Isn't she brilliant?

I guess Jerm was doing self portraits while they played CandyLand. She really is into games and puzzles these days. She WOMPED him too! I even tried to beat her the other day so she doesn't think that she always has to win but she cleaned me out too!
