A birthday and green food

Last weekend was Jaymee's birthday so we went bowling. I always forget how much I like to bowl, but chasing Ashlynn around the bowling alley was not fun.
Cambria is so excited for warmer weather, we are all tired of being inside all the time.
Waiting for our steaks to cook. She always makes funny faces.

My kids love ice cream.
Cambria's cute monkey pj's.
For St. Patrick's Day we went to Blackfoot and made a green dinner for Grandma and Grandpa. We had green kool-aid, which I think actually tastes kinda horrible.
We had pasta that was stuffed with italian sausage, and Aaron made a green sauce to go on them. It was good. We also had garlic bread but it wasn't green and by the time I took pictures it was all gone!
We also had salad.
And for dessert Cambria helped me make banana creme pie desserts for each person. We colored the pudding green and then put bananas on top. This is one of Aaron's favorite things to eat.

We have rooms!

The truck that delivered the sheet rock. The guys took out our basement window and just slid the sheet rock inside the window. It was fun to watch.
This is Aaron's office, or as Cambria calls it Cable One.
The closet.
The hallway to the bathroom.
Corey's future closet.
Corey's future room. Cambria wants to paint it green because that is Corey's favorite color.
I am excited to get this basement finished. We have rooms now so come stay with us!

Cambria loves to sing Taylor Swift. I had another video to post but I think it was too long because it wouldn't let me. Oh well.

Dress up and basement

Cambria wanted to play princesses with Ashlynn one day. This was the first time Ashlynn has worn a princess dress because the ones we have are too big for her. She would get mad because she would step on the dress when she stood up.
We had the flu at our house and the kids got it worse than we did, I felt so bad for them. Aaron went to church without me so he could teach our class. The girls fell asleep shortly after her left and stayed asleep until almost bedtime. This has never happened at our house, Cambria hasn't taken naps since she was 2 and Ashlynn usually won't sleep unless she is in her crib. So it was weird to have such a quiet house all day.
They had a movie day in Cambria's room. Pretty soon we are going to move them into a room together and use this room as a toy room. It will be nice, but we have to get Ashlynn into a toddler bed first.
One day last week we had a neighbor who is a plumber come and put the bathtub in our basement. Ashlynn sat and watched them, it was really cute.
She is on the other side of the bench, I just thought it was cute that she was so interested in what they were doing.
Our tub!!! We decided it was worth it to pay a little extra to hire people to come finish our basement. Aaron could have done the sheet rock and stuff but it would take him forever to do it. The people who are coming did our friend's basement, and they will be done in 2 days. It will be so nice to have our house finished.
I have been wanting these dresses at Old Navy for a long time but I always talked myself out of buying them because they were never on sale. Well the other day there were only 2 of them left and they happened to be my kid's sizes. So it took it as a sign and bought them. Ashlynn's won't fit as a dress much longer but it would be cute with leggings in the summer. Anyways, I though they looked really cute.
Ashlynn's deedee. I think she might have gotten the word deedee from her cousin Brinley while we were in El Paso. How cute is that?

Valentine's Day and other stuff

You can always tell when the girls let Daddy do their hair! They loved it, and Cambria thought it was cute that Ashlynn's hair is getting long enough for pigtails.
We shampooed our carpets in the family room a while ago and the girls thought it was the funnest thing ever to have our furniture in the kitchen. For some reason we are really hard on our carpets wherever we live.
Cambria and her cousin Fiona made these heart shelves at Home Depot, and then they painted them at our house. They turned out really cute.
I keep seeing the commercial for the big dipper pizza at pizza hut for only $12 and I love pizza hut, so we got it on Friday night. It was so good. Corey, Brenna and Justin came over to eat too and we still had leftovers!
Cambria found this huge card at the store for grandma and grandpa so we had to buy it. She thought it was funny because it was so big. She colored it and drew cute pictures. I love that she can write now, it is fun to watch.
The girls loved the stuff they got from grandma and grandpa. They are so spoiled.

Ashlynn got cozy while she was waiting for the cookies to bake. That is the big card behind her. I forgot to take a picture of it once they opened it.
She loves animals, except for when they touch her or lick her. It was cute though because she would lay by molly and then talk to her, pet her and hug her.
Cambria does a really good job frosting cookies, but then she puts a lot of sprinkles on them.
This morning the girls got more stuff. We also had pink heart shaped pancakes but I didn't take any pictures.
I got to go help out at Cambria's school today. It was really fun to see her at school. She says really funny things, but she also knows when to sit and be quiet and she tries to get the kids around her to be quiet too. She is so smart!
Aaron and I never really do much for Valentine's Day because our anniversary is on the 19th and we usually do something fun that day. I read a story to Cambria the other day about Minnie Mouse and her friends, they had a picnic inside because it was rainy. So she wanted to have a Valentine's Day picnic inside for dinner. It was so cute. We had foil dinners and chips. She put the plates, forks, napkins, ketchup, and chips inside the picnic basket.

They got cards in the mail from Amma and Appa that had Toy Story stickers. My kids love stickers and Toy Story is their favorite movie. When Ashlynn saw the stickers she said "yay woody!" and Cambria said "Amma always knows what I like." Then they put the stickers on their shirts.
The next time we get bored I am just going to move the furniture and let them run around. They had so much fun. They are both still afraid of the vacuum. Cambria thinks her toys are going to get sucked up.

Cabin Weekend

We snowmobiled up to the cabin on Friday night and it was cold, but really fun. I didn't take many pictures while we were there but on the way to where we got on the snowmobiles we saw tons of deer crossing the road.


There was a lot of snow. Ashlynn loved walking around but she was a little bit like the kid on a Christmas Story, if she fell down she couldn't get back up.

Why do kids like doing the dishes? I wish it would last.
Cambria and Ashlynn loved playing with Fiona at the cabin.
