Sleeping babes

When I was a kid my dad always took pictures of us kids when we were sleeping and I never understood it until I had a child. As anyone with children can attest to, one of the most precious things is to view your sleeping child.
Tori and Abby both love to read as I have mentioned before. When I went to get Tori up from her nap so we could leave for church, I found her with a book in hand fast asleep. One of those moments too precious to pass up.

The kids museum

Today we met up with my friend Jenny and her son Alex at the Kids Museum (as Abby calls it) for a little adventure.
Every time we go the girls find new and exciting things to do. Today Tori was a fireman...
Abby and Alex found a dress up dance studio...
Tori twirled in her Queen attire.
Tori made me a little dinner at the store/kitchen upstairs.
and Abby shopped for the food to make a meal.
We all had a fun time and the kids were really worn out and we all had fun.

New member of the family

Today we we went to see our newest Niece. On the way to go see her Abby and I had a conversation that went as follows:

Abby: My new cousins name is Pollen

Me: No her name is Hailey

Abby: But I want to call her Pollen

Me: If we call her 2 names, don't you think that will confuse her?

Abby after a moment: Oh yea I guess that would, then lets just call her Pollen.

The girls each got a chance to hold her, it is hard to belief that the girls were once so small.

Surprise!!

Chris planned a surprise for my birthday. I tried to guess what it would be. Needless to say I didn't guess the surprise. It was a 12 mile hike in Estes Park. It turned out that we only did 5 miles which proved to be good enough for both of us. It was beautiful and good weather. Chris taught me some interesting things he has learned through his scouting experience. The girls and dog stayed with Grandma and Grandpa so we could get a early start. They all had fun too so it was a good experience for everyone.

Goodnight Cassie

Tori and Abby both love playing with the dog. Tori decided that she needed to tuck Cassie in. Cassie is so patient with the girls and takes a lot of "love" from them.

Ninja pose

Abby's day care lady always does very fun things for them and us. I need to post some of those things, but today she brought home this really fancy hat that Trish made for her. She made one for Tori too, but she doesn't wear it as much as Abby does. To night she had her hat on and was doing some Ninja moves

Go Maple Leafs

Chris is so proud!
