Our New addition

The girls were so excited to get a new little kitten. And of course...Livvy named him...Sammie! She already babies it and carries it around like a rag doll. She just doesn't get the concept that he is breakable.

Post Birthday Bash

So Calli got a new barbie movie for her birthday. She absolutely loves the one her cousin charley gave her for christmas and practically watches it every day. So she got a new one from Bama and Bampa and they both just had to watch it after opening it. Calli's expressing when it first cam on was priceless. And if you look real close, the clothes had to come off. But she was discretely covered by her new Cinderella blanket and princess shoes.


Birthday Bash

Calli on her 2nd birthday. WoW! I can't believe it has been 2 years already. Time flies. We took her out to eat at Red Robin and all them employees came to our table to sing happy birthday. She got a hot fudge sunday and a PINK balloon. Her eyes were the biggest I've ever seen and that's big as their already big to begin with. It was so cute and everyone around us was laughing at her adorable reaction. So got everything princess for her birthday. Which is funny because for those of you who know her personality, she is quite a busy one and gets herself right in the muck of it. But when it comes to princess play time she is right there with her sister playing dress up and barbie. It is so cute. We had a great birthday. Thanks to the grandparents for helping make it that way. We love you!



Panty Raid

So....Calli has this fascination with Panties. She wears them any opportunity she can get. On her head, around her neck, over her diaper. Crazy I know...until one day you find her with nothing on. I don't know what to do about this one. 100% Nick Coleman is all I can attribute it too. Not that I believe her dad did this exact same thing, just that he was, well we'll just say adventuresome.

Cherry Jubilee

For their birthday (early present cause I couldn't wait to see them in their dresses) I made them some sun dresses and they looked so adorable. I know what you are all thinking but they were so happy in their matching dresses. I never understood mothers dressing their kids alike, but with two little girls, it's irresistibly cute. And they don't mind one bit. At least that's what I tell myself. Ha Ha!

So last week I was leaving to go to my daily Dr. appt and I when I got home we were going to go to the store as a family. So I asked Nick before leaving if he would do Calli's hair. Thinking that nothing could really go wrong and anticipating his creativity, I left. I returned home and walked in the door to an overwhelming smell of bleach. I looked around to see what the kids had gotten in to but found everyone sitting quietly in the living room, Calli's hair all done, and wet. So I asked nick what the smell was coming from and he replies "I'm not sure. Was there bleach in the girls spray bottle (the one we use for hair)." "No. Which one did you use." We only have one that we use for the girls and it is a drawer with all their hair things. You couldn't miss it if you tried. But this is Nick we're talking about and for any of you who really know him, he has a hard time locating things, especially if they are BEHIND SOMETHING ELSE. He can't really look if his life depended on it (But I love him none the less and always get a laugh). So he proceeds to show me the large spray bottle located under the bathroom sink. I screamed out "Nick that has clorox in it." He had sprayed clorox water all over Calli's head before styling it. To his defense he says "That is the water bottle we used to use though." But in my defense "NOT FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS!" That is why it was under the bathroom sink pushed towards the back. Poor nick. I would've just thought that after the first spray he could have smelled it's intensity. But he said he tasted it and it tasted just fine. LOL. So our house smelled immaculately clean for several hours. And poor little Calli had to get a bath before she could accompany us to the store.
Before and After. My latest project! I bought these table and chairs at Ikea in SLC and have had them for a while. But I got and idea that would make them more cleaning friendly and attractive. So I tiled the top, painted the frames and padded and recovered the chairs. Alisha helped me cover the chairs and we had so much fun because we weren't quite sure if it was going to work or not. But hallelujah it did and my girls love it.
Livvy's typical expression. But I wanted to show how curly her hair is getting. It has such a beautiful wave to it. And she gets these tight pretty little tendrels that form around her face. It is so cute.

Cupcakes at Aunt Erika's. Reese had been begging Erika all day to make cupcakes so they could frost them. I think they all had much more fun eating them.






Our annual trip to St. George. The girls had a blast hanging out with their cousins and grandparents. They were both extremely sad to leave. But we all had fun and got a little sun.

Proof, one again, that she is Nick Coleman's daughter. I caught him doing the same thing just the other night.



















Livvy and her preschool buddies. The theme this month is "Princesses". Calli had a blast being with all the big girls.
I found Livvy wearing one of my sweaters the other day as a dress. She wore it the entire afternoon.


































My sweet girls. Don't you just love Calli's hair. I think she wore her hat that day.

Alisha came over the other day and took some pictures of the girls for her Photography blog. They turned out so cute. I'm so grateful for my sister. It's good to have a sister and a best friend all rolled in to one and living in the same town as me. Erika when are you moving here?


Chillin'. Livvy was in one room watching TV and Calli in the other. I guess they don't have the same taste in television shows.
