Lily can climb up the ladder and go down the slide all by herself

We went out to shoot our bows, the girls loved playing in the dirt

Annabelle LOVES hiking! so Brock climbed some rocks with her, she has no fear and was so excited to jump off the rocks

Oregon Trip!

So I randomly made the decision to go to oregon with my sister-in-law Alicia to go to her sisters wedding. Brock is in Tax Season, so we don't see him hardly at all. I didn't have any other plans so why not? We had such a blast and Alicia's family is amazing! We took the kids to the beach and there was a lady feeding the squirrels peanuts. She let all the kids take turns and they LOVED it! 

Lily feeding the squirrels

Annabelle had to learn that she shouldn't chase them with the peanuts, they would come to her if she was still and quiet

We toured the Tillamook Cheese Factory

Our beach day was beautiful! sunny, no wind, it was pretty much a miracle for oregon

Annabelle loved playing in the sand with Clair

She also got soaking wet running through the creek that went to the ocean

 Annabelle recently started gymnastics. We started out in a mommy and me class, I was worried she wouldn't like her guy coach, but we learned that "Dave is Nice." now she loves it, she mostly loves the trampoline, I'm not sure how much she likes the other stuff. however I think she loves being able to run around and burn energy.

She does so good on the balance beams

Now that she has gotten used to her coach she was moved up to the flippers class of 3 and 4 year olds. last week was her first time, she did really good! I don't know if she will end up loving gymnastics, but we just want her to experience some different things so she can find what she loves. That is something I want for my kids is that they each have some activity that gets them active. Lily always wants to do what her big sister does and while Annabelle is in Gymnastics lily has to sit on this fence and she jumps and gets so excited about everything Annabelle does.

Love my Beauties

Wow we had quite the month in January! we were pretty much sick with bad colds and then the last week we got the flu...even though we got shots. ugh, it was rough. I think I had the worst of it because I got it first, but Brock luckily got medicine for him and the girls. We are happy to be over that and I thought it'd been a while since I've done a photo shoot with the girls so here's the latest:

Copying each other on the stairs

Sisterly Love

They play so good together, I hope they always do
