Visitors from Heaven

My Dad and sister and her two kids came to visit last weekend and it was so much fun! We wanted to get the cousins together because they are growing so fast and we don't want too much time to pass in between visits. To see highlights of the weekend go to my sisters blog. Thanks for braving yucky, cold Utah guys!. At least we had a few nice warm days!

Cleaning up is so much fun!

I LOVE her smile in this picture!

Splish-Splash Holly's takin' a bath!

All clean!

Self-feeding BLISS

I left Holly with a bowl of yogurt and a spoon to let her feed herself while I ran to check my email. Five minutes later, Savannah ran into the computer room to tell me that Holly was making a huge mess. I found her covered from head to chin in yogurt. Nice. All I cared was that she was occupied and quiet, and I think some of the yogurt actually made it into her mouth. =)

She did have a spoon, but obviously preferred using her fingers.

What is with my family and pink eye???

Yep, Doug came home with a red eye on Tuesday night and on Wednesday morning, he had full blown conjunctivitis. That makes Savannah, Holly and Doug who have all had pink eye in the last 2 months. Ugh!

Savannah's 5th Birthday party

Savannah got a "Savannah" doll house (which she was not expecting) from Nana, Papa, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Krystal and Dan. She was so excited! Her and Holly have played in it a lot. We just need to get more dolls for them to play with now. =)

Savannah invited 11 girls to her party. We had 8 show up, which was great! Doug watched Holly while I ran the party...by myself. I was a little worried that 9 girls would be too much for me to handle on my own but they were all so well behaved. The party went smoothly and they all had so much fun. Especially the birthday girl!

When Savannah asked for a "Pink Poodle Party" she insisted that she needed a poodle skirt as well. So, I bought a pattern and put in an elastic wasteband instead of the zipper so it would fit her for a few years. I also made it extra long. Here is my second attempt at a poodle cake. This one turned out better than the first because I frosted the cake pink instead of white and I outlined the poodle in brown. Fun fun fun!
