Spring Has Sprung

 Here is Quinn wanting to try on some of Emmas undies.  She has about 6 pair on over her diaper.

 

 

And now the fun begins.  She is great at wanting to try and sit, but we haven't had any success yet.  She sits for awhile and then pops up yelling "DONE". 

Loves eating ketchup with a spoon.

Emmas school pictures.  They are pretty cute but the cheapest package to buy was $45 for 6 wallets and a 5X7!  Needless to say you won't be seeing copies of these.

Funny hat day in our neighborhood. 

 Where'd she go?

We have found a few ladybugs in the neighborhood on our walks.  We brought one home to live in our backyard.  Crazy thing is she has lasted a whole week out there and is sticking around.  If you click on the picture it is on the leaf on the bottom left of the picture.

Quinns first ladybug!

Shes saying "bug, bug, bug, bug"

 "cheese"

 Emma was insisting they get to bring the babies to Costco.  Emmas is kind of scary looking and a little beat up.  Luckily Emma is so cute no one looks at the baby.

 



 Flowers from the neighborhood.

 

I think this is a fig tree.  It must have 1000 figs on it.

Happy Birthday Quinn

 Emma and I made Quinn a turtle cake because she really likes turtles.  Who wouldn't?

 

She was really getting into opening presents.

Thanks Aunt Deb.  The baby is a hit.

This is how we get Quinny to brush her teeth better and not just chew on the bristles!  Go big sister.

Old Friends and New Friends

 

Emma, Quinn and I met up with my old friends Erin and Katie and their families. It was a fun time and great weather.

Slow down Emma........

Emma making us pizza.

Only picture we took while on the tram.  This is waiting to come down.  Too many people to get any good pictures.  But lots of great views, and as Emma described the trip "Terrific"

Sporting her Tigers garb and getting a smoothie with mom.

 

Quinn was getting some new teeth last week and really wanted to snuggle with Buster to feel better.

 Buster fixes everything!!  No more crying.  Shhhhhh.

Emma loved the shopping section of the Childrens Museum.  She was zooming around so fast this is the best picture I could get!

We had also had fun hitting the pool in the 95 degree heat and hanging with Grandma. 

 

Mustaches

Cousin Max turned 5 and had some mustaches at his party.  Who knew they would be so fun?

Noah and Emma

And yes she insisted on wearing this one to bed and all the next day.  It didnt come off until bathtime and received some giggles in the grocery store.

 Aunt Sylvia decided to bring in some scooter cart things for the kids to ride.

 

Buster found a palm frond at the dog beach and had fun or as we call it Buckin Bronco Buster.

Quinn hasnt been feeling well and asked to snuggle on the couch with Buster last night.

Didnt take long before they were both snoozing and snoring.
