So, Livvy and I were looking at my baby pictures the other day and came across this one. She said "look mommy, it's Charley". I told her "no livvy, that is mommy when she was a little girl". She still won't believe me. She insists that that is a picture of charley. What do you think? Maybe it's the teeth. I look at this picture and think, poor Calli. She has my teeth for sure. But I do see a little bit of Charley in there.

Calli has been so sick lately and it has been over a week now. She has had a really bad rash, high fevers, a slight case of conjungtivitis, hot and cold sweats, and now she is coughing. It has been an awful week. But she is starting to feel better now. So these are a few pics of our sick little Calli.

So, a friend told me how to do this slide show and I thought it was a good idea when I have way too many photos to put on the blog. These are a few of Livvy getting her birthday present from Uncle Whitney and Aunt Lindsay. She opened it about 2 hours ago and is still wearing it. THANK YOU Whit and linds! She is also potty trained as you can see....FINALLY! It happened almost over night. We had one accident today, but she is getting better and better about reminding herself. Today she said, while sitting on the potty...."I can hear it, I can hear it. Mommy, I hear my body telling me it's time to got potty". It was so cute. We just love that little girl. Other than all this chaos, things are great here in Boise. We had a good Fathers Day and hope all of father friends and family did too.

These are pics from Livvy's 3rd birthday. I can't believe that she is 3 already. She is growing up so fast. This was the first year that she had so much fun ripping open presents to find the surprise inside. She had so much fun she wanted to do it again later. I told her that she could as she still had a present waiting at home from her Bama and Bampa (sort of). She said "I can't wait, mommy". So cute!

Here are some pics of our St. George vacation. Boy did the girls have a blast in the pool. But by the end of the day they were tuckered out and ready for bed.

These are pics of calli's 1st birthday. She wasn't so happy when she couldn't open all the presents by herself. But boy was she just fine when we handed her her cupcake. All better now. But it didn't help that she was exhausted that day.

This picture is of Livvy allowing her nails to dry. We played salon and I did her nails, but I told her she had to sit very still so the paint could dry. She listened so good that she sat still, in these positions for 45 min. That's mommies little princess, always wanted to look her prettiest. Livvy and Calli had so much fun. They were laughing and giggling as Livvy pushed Calli in her miniaturized stoller. Doesn't Calli look comfy? Livvy informed us that when we took Calli out that she wasn't ready to get out, she wanted to ride some more. Who wanted to play more? Yeah we thought that too.

So this was the girls "special" present from mommy. Matching quilts. I'm sure they aren't as excited as I was, but Livvy did say "Oh mommy, they're beautiful". That made all the pin pricks and back aches worth the while. I hope that I have made my Gran very proud (although mine don't even compare). We are headed to St. George this week and will be gone for both of their birthdays, so I gave them their present early. Plus I couldn't wait to see how cute their room was going to look.

Everyone mistakes us for twins. I'm not sure. What do you think? I know for a fact our husbands can't tell us apart on the phone.

I thought these were some cute pictures of the girls. This one was of livvy at her playgroup. And calli.....wanting to just be in her diaper. We are definitely sure that she and livvy are related.

The girls played in the yard the other day for the entire day. They had so much fun. Especially Calli. She was furious when we finally had to leave. The pool had gotten to just the right temperature. She was basking in the sunlight while sitting in her turtle pool.

Livvy was so tired one day she fell asleep right infront of me in the living room.

We took the girls to the park today. Livvy had so much fun chasing after the sqwaking geese. But Nick was extremely careful not to let her get too close, as they are known to attack. Calli had just as much fun watching her. It was a beautiful day here in Boise.

These pictures are of the girls wrestling daddy. They built a fort out of pillows and Livvy had a ball tearing it down. Then she figured out it was more fun to bean daddy with the pillows. They all giggled and laughed for over 45 min. Calli joined right in copying everything her big sister was doing. It is so cute to see how much she wants to be like Livvy.
