My Big Girl

I don't know when, but all of a sudden Kelsey is acting like a little girl. I don't think it has to do with Madison either. She is just getting to that point in life where she's not a baby and not a toddler. She is  a little girl. It really makes me sad, but really happy too. She is so fun to talk to and is fun to be around. Its hard not to laugh and be happy when you are with Kelsey. She has the best personality. She is so caring of everyone around her and so obedient. Although stubborn at times (like her mom) she really is a sweet heart. Kelsey is such a kind person. Without prompting she will give me a hug or tell Madison that she loves her or say how cute Ethan and I look. Kelsey loves to sing and dance, loves to play with her toys and books, loves to dress up, and loves to cook. I haven't made dinner by myself in weeks. I am so grateful that I get to spend my days with Kelsey. It really makes me look forward to the years to come.

Spring Fever

Madison is so squishy and adorable. She is already in 3 month clothes. I get asked all the time if she is 3 months old. People are shocked when they find out she is only 6 weeks. I LOVE it. I couldn't have ordered my babies any cuter. How did I luck out with those cheeks!

 

Along with the Minnie Mouse ears came a cowgirl princess fairy! 

 

I needed new shoes so we went to Payless and oh my goodness. Kelsey was in Heaven! She tried on so many shoes and every pair would ask if I thought they were cute. It was hilarious!

My dad turned 63 on March 26th and went to Texas Road House. I love this picture because he is super fun, but not normally one to put on a ten gallon hat and sit on a saddle! I guess you get funner as you age.

My cute activity days girls made conference journals with me. I love this calling so much and have learned so much especially from Lisa Morrse. There is nothing she can't do and no one she can't love.

Painted Nails

Kelsey definitely is a girly girl and I totally love it. Dresses, skirts, shoes, princess, pink, and everything else girl. Lately she has really been into painting her nails but does so with markers. I would stop her but I prefer this over her actually painting her nails and making a mess with the nail polish. Marker at least can wash out of most things.

On Sunday March 29th, Kelsey had painted all of her nails but was not done painting nails. She needed a new candidate. Dad was sitting on the floor and thats how it happened. This girl has her dad wrapped around her fingers. I've been trying to paint Ethan's nails for years and he never lets me do it.

 

No one is safe

I guess I knew this was coming but it still took me by surprise. It was so cute how proud Kelsey was to have done Madison's hair that day. She was really bummed when they didn't stay in her hair.

 

And later that day....

I know Madison. I know.

Two cute girls

I am in love with both my daughters. I can't look at their pictures enough and what I love the most is how much they love each other already. I hope I can help them develop this relationship through out their lives together because there is nothing like loving and being loved by a sibling.


Madison's first Sunday. I LOVE this outfit that Elisa gave us, but it only fit one Sunday :)

Madison's cute little birth mark

I love watching how newborns fall asleep

First thing Kelsey does when she wakes up is ask to hold Madison. She loves her so much. When Madison makes any noise of distress, Kelsey is literally the first to respond. She is such a good little mother. She can't get enough of her sister.

Sometimes Madison would rather be left a lone, but I know she will quickly warm up to Kelsey's love.

Kels took this picture and I actually love it a lot

Wow we have a lot of sleeping pictures! We must have a newborn in the house.

Kelsey wanted to look just like Madison

When Kels goes down, virtually nothing can wake her up. We put Madison right next to her and NOTHING. I think the only thing that will wake her up is saying she can watch a show. I've never seen her wake up so happy when we say that.

Madi is getting more and more alert and will just stare at us. I totally love it

Visiting Great Grandma

On March 27th me and the girls spent the morning visiting "mommy's Grandma" as Kelsey put it. It was a great experience for me to be able to introduce Madison to Grandma Farnsworth. Grandma is so wonderful with little babies. She wanted to hold Madison the whole time and just sang her all sorts of songs. Grandma is one of those people who makes everyone feel like they are the most important person in the whole world. I don't have the talent, but when you meet people that do, you really do feel like a million bucks!
It was also really fun for me and Kelsey because while Grandma held Madison, Kelsey and I got to play together on the swings. Kelsey thought I was so cool because I could pump as high as I did all by myself. She told me like 9 times! I love it when I can impress my two year old.

Norahs playdate

On March 28th, the Nelly's came down from Bountiful for a picnic and a play date.
It was a major success.

We are really going to miss living close to this little girl!
