These Little Ladies

These girls keep me so busy and complete my life. Chanel doesn't get me to herself much anymore since we usually have a small handful of extra kids at our house lately. Especially now that Bug is out of school, we don't get out one-on-one time. However, we take advantage of the time we do get together. She was being so cheesy the other day, I had to snap some pics of her sassy-ness.

 This girl is getting so big, but WAY TO FAST!!!! She had a tooth that was loose for a long time, finally, while we were out to dinner one weekend, she bit into something and that was it...it either had to come out, or she would starve to death. So I tried to work magic on it like my grandma used to but couldn't get the string trick to work so I counted to three, gave it a quick yank, and it was out!

Elena was so relieved to have it out and couldn't wait for the Tooth Fairy to come! Of course, Chanel was there for every second of it cheering her on...

...she even wanted one of her teeth pulled, haha!!!

The Tooth Fairy brought Elena a gold dollar! She was so excited:)

 My silly little ladies :o)

Soccer, Baby!!!

Our Bug is playing soccer again this Spring. She was excited at first but now that we are about finished with the season, she seems she couldn't care less about it. I'm not sure if it's because she feels a little burned out. Afterall, she just finished swim and school for the summer and doing all of it at the same time might have had her worn out. Next time, I think we'll take it one thing at a time...

So far, her team is undefeated. She has some pretty great players on her team and even though I think she gets a little intimidated, she still does good getting involved in the game and helping out her team.

Our Easter

This year we spent Easter Saturday at Young Living Farms. They had an easter egg hunt (more like an easter egg pick-up) and the girls got some yummy candy, the one thing they were most excited for. We rode in a horse-drawn carriage out to the field where all the eggs were. Luckily it was a warm beautiful day.

We had to check out the livestock while we were there. The kids saw donkeys, llamas, buffalo, horses, and chickens. They even got to pet the rabbits and baby chicks.

Chanel cracks me up. She had to be doing everything the older kids were. If they were feeding the animals, she had to feed them. If they climbed up on the fence, she had to, too! She was their little shadow.

The kids got to ride on the ponies. I felt so bad for the animals. They had to carry around all those kids and it ended up being such a hot day. They were sweating and panitng, poor things...

... but the girls loved it! :)

Easter Sunday was spent at home. Nice and realxing, just the way we like it.
