All together Now

This week was Grandma Senter and Uncle Dave's Birthday. Sunday morning we were driving to grandma's and the girls were singing Happy Birthday at the top of their lungs. I commented on how beautiful they were singing (and actually they are very good singers and right on key). Eden says, "Lets sing it for Jesus, All together now!" and began singing Happy Birthday to Jesus!

Saturday night I took the twins with me to Target. As I was getting a cart a group to teenagers walked in behind us. Eden turned around and emphatically stated, "Welcome to the store!!"

I made a wrong turn while driving last week and when I got on the correct road I said, "Whew, we are on the right road now." Eden says, "Say it with me mommy, We are on the RIGHT Road!". Then we got to Linden Road and I said, here is Linden Road, can you say "Linden Road?"
Eden said, "No, I am not going to say that!"

You have to hear the tone of her voice, I have to keep from cracking up half the time.

Look whose is 1 1/2!!!!!

We are at the 1 1/2 year mark---I shudder to think she will be already 2 years old this fall. Alot....and I mean ALOT has changed in the last year. One year ago she was just barely sitting up, nursing, babbling and totally dependent. Now, she runs, climbs, feeds herself (which she has been very proficient at for a long time-ha), she can count to ten, repeats anything you say, has very strong opinions on what she does and doesn't like--and has personality oozing out of her pores. She makes us laugh all the time and is CRAZY about her big sisters and tries to be like them in every way.




You just can't help but smile when you see those chubby cheeks and gapped teeth!

Easter

My parents and Blaine's parents were out of town for Easter-so it was to Aunt Carmyn's house we went for an Easter Egg hunt with Grandma S and Aunt Shannon. It was a very bright and sunny morning-some of the best Easter weather I can think of in a long time. What a FUN time it was this year with the kids-they totally got into the egg hunt game. A special thanks to Aunt Carmyn for everyone's coordinating outfits




Grandma Senter-I love this picture of her

Batteries

The twins have picked up that when something is broken, than it must need batteries. Last Sunday I was cleaning out a closet as I am getting ready for a sale this spring. With the closet cleaned out, I threw some pillows in the back and we made a hide out. It was raining that morning and my girlies and I were in the hideout listening to the rain and singing about the raindrops falling with a pitter pitter pat......

On Monday, I was back up there cleaning and Elle wanted to go in the hideout. All of a sudden she was all upset and telling me, "The rain needs batteries, the rain needs batteries!". Well, it wasn't raining on Monday and she didn't hear the rain, so she figured that the rain was broken and to fix it, it needed batteries..................

I wish batteries could fix everything!

stay tuned to see more of what happened here:
