Princess Festival

We went to Utah for a princess festival. Cambria and Ashlynn thought it was a fun weekend because we stayed in a hotel with a pool. The girls got dressed up to go to the festival.
They gave the girls autograph books when we got there and the first person we saw was Captain Hook. Cambria was making a hook with her finger.
Then they met Cinderella. They were doing 10 minute plays every 15 minutes and we saw Cinderella, part of Snow White and the 12 Dancing Princesses. The girls loved watching the plays, but the step mom in Cinderella scared Ashlynn and she started to cry. I had to walk through a bunch of little kids to pick her up.
Cambria said her favorite part was when they danced and fell in love.
If there was a shoe that fit them then they were a true princess.
It fit! She was yelling "I am a true princess"!
They also got a book and this was Princess Mila that was in the book.
Cambria just kept saying that she couldn't believe she met a real princess.
Ashlynn as Rapunzel.

When Cambria met Rapunzel she asked her is she had seen her own movie. Rapunzel said no, I live in a tower and I don't have a tv. So Cambria asked her if she at least had a computer so she could burn her a copy of the movie.
The girls up on all the mattresses with the Princess and the Pea. I need to find a movie about this because Cambria didn't know who she was.
The 12 Dancing Princesses in the cave. Cambria liked this one the best because the princesses taught them to dance first, and then during the play the girls got to get up and dance with them.
This is the tunnel that the dancing princesses go through to get to the cave.

Sleeping Beauty. This was who Cambria had been waiting all day to meet. She says Sleeping Beauty is her favorite Disney classic. She says the funniest things.
I don't know why Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland were sitting together, but Cambria liked meeting Peter Pan.
Cambria really liked Belle, but Ashlynn did not like the Beast.
They are both really into the Little Mermaid movie right now so they loved meeting the mermaid here.

She is so dainty.
The girls all had a lot of fun playing on this carriage before we left. We will probably want to go again next year!

Ashlynn is 2!

This was what my belly looked like 2 years ago today. It was giant, and I was 41 weeks. It was torture.
From the very first time Cambria saw Ashlynn she loved her and was really glad to be a big sister.

Both of my babies had really pretty dark hair and blue eyes.


This was from her birthday party last year.
This was taken a few days ago. Ashlynn loves to wear a tutu and dance, she LOVES animals, playing with dolls, and eating pizza. She has just recently discovered that she really likes swimming in the little pool in our backyard.
We took her to Blast Off today for her birthday.
Happy Birthday Ash!

Our Garden

We have planted a few things in our backyard this year, we will have to wait and see if anything grows. So far we have a few plants that are starting to pop up.
The girls really liked digging around in the dirt.
Corey also had fun digging in the dirt.
Cambria Fiona and Ashlynn like to cook at Grandma's house, and they look so cute in the aprons Grandma made them.
It got up to 80 degrees a few days ago so we played outside as much as we could, and we even got a little sunburned. It felt kinda nice.
Grandma and Grandpa bought this tent because the girls like to have sleepovers in Blackfoot with Fiona, so now they have a tent to sleep in. They set it up at our house and Cambria was so excited. She ran and got into her pajamas and then quickly set up their "campsite".
These kids are adorable.

A few things

The girls always like it when i clean the kitchen floor and they can use the chairs to make a bus.
I brought this dress back from El Paso and Cambria has been begging me to try it on. My grandma "mer" made this when me and my sisters were little. I think we all wore it. If any of you have a picture send it to me and I'll post it. Anyways it was too small but she really liked it.
Then Ashlynn wanted to wear it.

Cambria graduated from preschool. I am kinda nervous to send her to school in the fall but I know she will love it.
She likes to have a fashion show with my clothes. I think the dresses look better on her than on me.


We spent the night at the cabin but there was still a lot of snow so we walked up about half way, and then rode the snowmobile the rest of they way.


Ashlynn and Cambria were pretending to put out a fire.

We all wore the firemen hats.


I can't believe she is going to be 2 soon!

The girls had fun playing on the zip line.




Cambria really wanted to make a snowman even thought the snow was crunchy and icy.
