Lilac Heaven

Nick has been nursing the neglected plants at our house for a few years now and they are finally ready to bloom beautifully again. YEAH! We have been addicted to the scent of the lilacs and have clipped them over and over for indoor air fresheners. The other night we decided we should take some pictures in front of the lilacs and here is our product. Life is good!

Chocoholic

We drove to Boise for a weekend stay a couple of weeks ago. The girls were travelling really well; Chloe was asleep for most of the drive and Abigail was mysteriously quiet towards the end of the drive. Nick was hoping that Aunt Amanda was making brownies because he could smell them the closer we got to her house. You guessed it, Abigail had found our chocolate stash and was devouring the enjoyable treat! She has been cursed by both parents with an incredible love of chocolate.

A Day at the Park-Finally!

One of our favorite things is the park. Of course Abigail is a big fan but Chloe is even liking it more and more. She likes to ride on the toys with her sister while being closely supervised by her parents. There is a section of the park with a variety of spring attached toys and Abigail (being the heavy weight she is) can't get them to move very well. So the joy of the toy is to jump on, try to make them move for a second (maybe two), then jump off and move to the next toy. She does that over and over. When Chloe was on with her she made me very nervous!

The last two pictures show Abby having a great time and a little daring. She is usually all business when on the slide but here she decided to go down on her back. It didn't turn out well. Her bum hit the ground, her head hit the bottom of the slide, and we went home shortly thereafter. She is back to business Abigail when on the slide at the park!

Soaking in the Tub

Abigail LOVES the water and is constantly wanting to take a bath or shower, or go swimming. While I was working on one of the rare sewing projects she told me she wanted to take a bath. I told her that would be fine and I would go start the water. She must have meant a pretend bath because she jumped in the box and said she was swimming in the tub! She is so funny!
