Pretty Dresses from Mimi

Since my mom moved to Colorado in Dec she has been a sewing fool.  She has been making dresses and a skirt for the girls.  Well she finally finished them and we recieved our box of goodies.  Mimi did an AWESOME job.  I love all the dresses.  Kaylee wore one of her Mimi dresses on Easter and the dress that Keira was wearing was also made by Mimi.  So I cant wait for the weather to warm up so I can put the girls in their pretty dresses.  My mom is making more dresses for Kaylee for her birthday.  So I cant wait to see those ones too.

Here's Keira in her dresses.  Don't worry there will be better pictures to come, I just wanted to give my mom an idea of what they looked like.

Here's Kaylee in her dresses

the first 2 dresses are the same dress there reversable

The rest of this blog is going to be random things from this past week

The girls took their first bath together.  Keira was still in her little bath but they were in the big tub together.  Kaylee thought is was the greatest thing to have sissy in there with her.  She filled up her cup of water and would dump it on Keira's tummy and they would both laugh.

Keira has been sitting up for longer periods of time.  She still gets to excited and falls to the side.  The other night she sat up for probably 1.5 minutes or more.  When Keira sits up, Kaylee & I clap and say "Yay Keira".  Keira gets excited and Kaylee thinks its the greatest thing.  The other day when Keira was sitting up, Kaylee layed right in front of her and was talking to her and Keira was talk back and smile, it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen!  Their interaction with each other is priceless.  I wanted to get their little conversation on video but I knew if I stood up to get my camera Kaylee would have stopped.  So I just soaked up the moment.

Kaylee's new thing when I sit down to take pictures of Keira is to climb on my back and make silly faces at Keira which makes her get this HUGE smile.  Its so cute

I'm lovin her bright blue eyes

Yesterday my dad stopped by cause we weren't able to go and visit him on Easter, so he brought over the girls Easter stuff.  He got them Pillow Pets.  If you don't know already when I was pregnant with Kaylee we decorated her room with a lady bug theme.  Red, black and white and lady bug accents.  So when she was born her nickname became Kayleebug.  On her 1st birthday she got a lot of lady bug stuff.  We shortened Kaylee's nickname to just BUG.  So when Keira came along my brother gave her the nickname Itty Bitty Bug.  Well my dad got each of the girls Lady Bug Pillow Pets.  Well I've seen these in WalMart and wanted to get one for Kaylee for the longest time, well Kaylee got a BIG one and they found a SMALL one for Keira.  They found them at CVS.  These pillows are so cute.  They each took a nap with them yesterday.  Kaylee decided to name her's DOUG and she named Keira's STAN!  LOL



Happy Easter

We all got up kinda early to get ready for the busy day ahead.  The girls took a bath and got dressed in their cute easter outfits.  The original outfits I bought for them they couldn't wear cause it was to cold.  I was totally bummed, but the outfits they wore were adorable too!

dresses made by Mimi (my mom)

At 9am we headed to Jason's moms house for breakfast and on the way it started raining!  I was like oh great now Kaylee's not going to get to hunt for eggs, I hope the rain stops.  We got there and then rain had slowed to a sprinkle.  So grandma had Uncle Patrick go "hide" the eggs on Kaylee's marching path.  So the rain had stopped and it was now like a mist so we headed out to find the eggs before it started raining again.

Over the pond and through the forest on an egg hunt we will go

After Kaylee found all her eggs she HAD to go inside and open every single one to see what kind of goodies she got inside.  Keira played with her new Easter toy, mom found Keira a Sophie the giraffe teether on ebay for cheap so I bought it for her.  She loves to chew on it.  I still might end up getting her the amber teething necklace though.  After going through all her eggs we ate pancakes, linguisa, eggs, and strawberries for breakfast, which was oh so yummy!

After breakfast, the sun had come out so we headed to the back yard and over to the pond to see if we could see the turtles and feed the fish.

After checking out the pond we packed the girls up and headed to our next destination.

We headed to Manteca to Jason's Aunt Rhonda & Uncle Jerrod's house for some more easter fun.  Kaylee was super excited to see Auntie Rhonda's yorkie Zoey, that's the first person she called for when we walked in the door.  We were the first ones there, so we distracted Kaylee for a little bit cause she wanted to go outside to get the eggs.  So she played with some trucks while we waited for everyone else to get there.

Need a party planner Auntie Rhonda is the best!!

Kaylee was so excited to see Great Great Grandma.

Alright now it was that time to head out and look for eggs, Kaylee was excited.  Keira was taking a nap while all the fun was going on.  She slept and slept and slept, she probably took a 3 hour nap.  She slept while we hunted for eggs, while Kaylee opened all her eggs, while we ate dinner and woke up about 45 minutes before we left to come home.

Kaylee opened all her eggs again which was a lot!  Auntie stuffed some of the eggs with quarters and dimes, lets just say Kaylee left almost $10 richer!!  Way to go girl!  She played more outside before & after dinner as well, the weather got nicer out, a little windy!

Right before leaving we went back outside to take a new generation picture since we now have Keira.

Lazy Saturday

Saturday was our LAZY day.  The kids and I hung out in our jammies all day.  Daddy had to work the first part of the monring.  So the girls & I just hung out watching cartoons and playing.  The girls went down for a nap and daddy got home about an hour later.  We relaxed on the couch together watching a movie, waiting for the girls to get up.

After the girls woke up we all played and daddy made funny faces at Kaylee and she didn't even seem to notice, Mommy thought is was funny!  We had a lazy saturday cause we knew Sunday was going to be crazy
