Girls, Girls, Girls

While I was at Karen's shower, the girls stayed with Aunt Jenn, Aunt Karen and Sara. Looks like they had fun as once again, one of the aunts found my camera and put it to use.

Sara is such a good sport. Even being mangled by Livi and falling over she is still happy!!

Karen's Baby Shower

Today was Karen D.'s baby shower. It was a great time and she got a lot of great things!

Cute dress clothesline.

Ryan Time

Ryan came over to play for a little while. The girls had a great time playing with him. I'm not sure if Ryan feels the same way.

I love how he is holding Juli's hand.

Quiet Time

The girls love going to Barnes and Noble. They love to play with the train table. They love picking out books. They also love to run around like mad animals, but I did manage to catch a quiet moment.

Memorial Day

It was pretty nice today. The girls played outside with their water table and the sprinkler.

Juli dumping water on her head.

Running through the sprinkler.

After a while she was just standing in front of the sprinkler and letting it spray up and down her. She called me and said, "Mommy, look. It's scanning me." LOL

Livi was a little afraid of the sprinkler, but loved the water table.

She kept trying to climb in it, so I had to keep telling her no. This was the look I got when I told her no.

Tinkerbell

While we were at the outlet mall, Livi and I left Aunt Jenn and Juli in the Disney Store and went to another store. They were taking forever to catch up, so we went back to find them. Apparently Aunt Jenn let Juli try on ALL of the princess costumes. She had a blast. When I got back, they were up to Tinkerbell. Complete with little cotton ball puff shoes.

She could not take her eyes off of herself in the mirror!

Shopping Time!

The girls needed some summer clothes, so we went to the outlets with Aunt Jenn. They had some little rides around the place, Juli couldn't wait to get on them. Livi wanted nothing to do with them.

But she's so darn cute.

As we were leaving, I happened to be holding Livi and standing next to the last ride Juli went on. I just stuck her on and she started to cry. Then she suddenly went "Wheeee! I ridin'!!" When it stopped she said, "I ride again." Um no. She should have gone on the first 10!!

After the outlets we stopped by to visit Karen & Sara.

What a cutie!

That Shirt is Tie Dye For!!

Earlier in the week, Livi's class made tie dyed shirts. Today all the kids in the class were wearing theirs. It was cute to see them all in their shirts. Livi however did not want to put hers on this morning. It took much coaxing.

Once I got it on her and told her she was going to show her teacher how pretty she looked she just kept walking around saying, "I pitty!"

Of course, Juli had to get in the pictures too. Why does she look like she's about 17 years old in this picture??? Where is my baby girl?

Visitors

Nonna, Pop, Aunt Karen & Sara stopped by for lunch today. The girls were excited to see and hold Sara, as usual.

Livi loves Sara. Every baby she sees in an infant carrier, she calls "baby Sara".

Juli being a good big cousin.

Dancing the Day Away

We are getting close to Juli's dance recital. They let us come in and watch, take pictures, and videos. I promised Juli we wouldn't show the video, since she wants everyone to see her dance at the recital. Maybe we will share once the recital is over.

Juli, Brenna & Katie. If you look in the mirror, you'll see James in the corner, Livi in the middle, Joseph and me. I'm the big flash. LOL.

What a beautiful ballerina!

Juli and her class.

Livi being silly on the floor, waiting for Juli.

Cinco de Mayo (a little bit late)

We went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner. The girls really had a good time and Juli keeps asking to go back.

Juli chowed down on quesadillas, while Livi had a taco.

Cheese!

Photo Shoot

Looks like Aunt Karen and Aunt Jenn had fun playing around with Juli and my camera.

Here are some pics from their photo shoot:

Saturday Night Fever anyone?

This made me laugh.

Eww.

True Love.

Happy Mother's Day 2009!

We had the families over for a little BBQ today to celebrate Mother's Day.

Happy First Mother's Day, Karen!

What a cutie!
