Cuteness

I have been really behind on posting lately... so now I am playing catch-up. Here are some pictures from around the house... Pretty much just doing what they do best - BEING CUTE.

Kennedy loves to get this lion that my dad gave me for Valentine's Day a few years ago - it has velcro arms and so we will velcro it around K's neck and she will walk around with her lion, giving him hugs, etc. There are a few pics of Natalie enjoying her morning coffee. And then Ken again in her sassy jacket that Mimi brought for her.

Dress Up

We all went over to Mimi & Granddad's house last week and the girls got to experience "dress up" for the first time. I think all kids like dress up at some point, whether it be a fireman or a superhero, a princess or a teacher. Dress up is fun. So Mimi had two matching ballerina/princess outfits and the girls tried them on. I think they look beautiful! Here are some pictures, and even a few with a wedding veil on (I know it's early for that, but they at least had to try it on!) Enjoy our pretty princesses :)

Babies Got a Brand New Ride

My sister-in-law found these cute matching cars at a consignment sale, and of course we just had to have them! The girls love "driving" around the neighborhood in them. Don't they look so cute?!?!?!? Now, we just need more sunny days so we can go for another spin ;-)

Hearts & Chocolate

We got a special treat for Valentines Day with a visit from my parents. It was so fun having them here with us and the girls enjoyed their time with Nana and Papa. We also got to see our good friends, Erin & Ibby, and their sweet daughter, Olivia. And, Joel's cousin was in town from Michigan, with her husband and three boys! So it was a busy weekend visiting with people who were important to us, but wouldn't want to spend it any other way!
My dad treated us girls to a surprise massage on Saturday morning, while he and Joel watched the girls. We ate out at one of our favorite spots, Pei Wei, and just enjoyed our time together. Oh, and ate chocolate... lots of chocolate. The girls wore cute heart dresses to church on Sunday, and then we went over to Mimi & Granddad's house to play and have a big family dinner. Here are a few pictures from that ~

Playtime with cousins

Joel's sister Laura brought her girls over to play one afternoon, and the girls had a lot of fun! Caroline is 2 and Anna Kate is 10 months and then our girls are 14 months, so all the kids are fairly close in age and will enjoy growing up together!
They had so much fun, and Caroline is definitely the leader of the pack, and is so sweet to her sister and cousins and likes to show them how to do things. At first, Natalie and Kennedy just watched her. But after a while, they all started playing together. It was so fun, and pretty soon we can have an all girls sleepover!!!

Natalie jumping into the pool full of balls (our newest "toy") and one both the girls love!

Anna Kate is gonna drive the ice cream truck

Want some lettuce, Natalie?

Bedhead

Kennedy has definitely inherited her daddy's hair - that whenever you sleep on it, you just might wake up with it standing up in all directions. I found her like this one morning, and just had to take pictures! Here's my sweet girl, bedhead and all :)

Project Life

Hey friends!
I found this link off another girl's blog, The Mom Creative, and it really sounds like a cool idea. I haven't even begun to process or figure out how I would have the time to do this for our family, but I love the idea of it and wanted to share it with you all. Maybe it is something you can implement with your own family. Anyhoo, ya'll enjoy...
