Last sprinkler park day

Lovin' this!

The girls called this barrel their hot tub

 (What, Mom caught me eating wood chips out of the mud and sand?!)

Filthy girl but loads of fun!

For great memories sake...

 The BEST snake-killing costume EVER! Love this and still a great memory.

 I know you're in there, sucker!

Impressive work, Pops!

Another great zoo day ...

 Remember this blouse you got Emma, Grandma C.?

 Lily getting impatient for the train to leave the station

 Time to go! We definitely get our money's worth out of our zoo membership!

 Declan went to the San Diego Zoo this past weekend and saw PANDAS! Neat!

 Emma got up the courage to do the carousel

 Cormac and Lily are EVERYWHERE these days. Whew, it's tiring keeping up.

 Giraffes!

Silly Cormac!

More garage painting

 This is what Evie and I did after dance class on Friday. Evie missed our first painting party so she made her contributions a few months later. FUN!

 Time to get clean ... and silly, of course!

New hair bows

Happy Wednesday! Happy sisters!

Emma's first dance class

 Kaela helped calm Emma's nerves (thanks to her mom, Rona, for putting together the outfits!)

 Waiting patiently (check out friend Evie's high leg kick on the left below)

 Sweet friends

 Evie is a natural, and so photogenic!

 The look from the back (I successfully did a braid from the top connected to a pony-tail!)

 Giddy girls

 Here we go

 When's our turn? (Emma's the oldest w/a Jan. 29 birthday, then Evie on Jan. 31 and Kaela on Feb. 12)

 Here I go!

 We're ready!

(Yes, I can do this!)

 The first 30 minutes is tap and jazz, then 30 minutes in the tumbling room before coming back into the studio

Toddlers

We call Lily "Dentist Lulu" these days as she LOVES to sneak into the bathroom and carry around toothpaste while putting lots of toothbrushes in her mouth.

Pacifier girl

I think Lily might be as attatched to her pacifiers as Micah Rieke once was! :-) One in each hand and one in the mouth, you think she's got enough? (Grandma asked for a walking video).

Sillies

Emma asked to study her Spanish book last night then began slapping herself on the side of the head when she couldn't remember certain words. "I'm trying to think," she said. "That's what Frog and Toad do." (This video is pre-Emma's haircut so it's a couple of months old but still fun).
