Guess who turned 1?!? Happy Birthday Rachel!

We opened a few gifts on her actual bday!

Intently trying to figure this out!

And now at the party!!

This looks fun....

So does this!

But does anything really beat the tissue paper?? :P

Wahoo....who knew my bottom would be so good on the piano!? :)

But perhaps this works better...

Emily getting into the action...WHOOSH! :)

Time for cake!

Grandpa making me laugh!

Rachel didn't make a mess at all, but I think it was because she

didn't want to waste any!! She liked her cake and just kept eating it!

Daddy had fun tickling his girls!!!

They seemed to have fun too :)

Playing ball! Watch out Rachel!!

Rachel being a goof...she put this on herself and kept it on!

Just got some video from a couple months ago off

the camera and thought we'd share :)

Emily playing video games with daddy!

Rachel bouncing, laughing, and clapping :)

A trip to the park! :) Em liked the tire swing!

But Rachel LOVED the regular swings!!!

Driving already :)

Rachel giving it a spin!

Rachel pondering her next move :)

Emily's favorite is the big spiral slide!

All that running around wore her out though...aww :)

Rachel's new favorite move :) She tries to stand up but gets this far!

Getting serious with the bubbles :)

Then not so serious ;)

Awwww.......time for loves :)

Big smiles while playing!

Getting up on the mat at swim class!

On one of the floats!

Rachel in the pool! :)

Christmas Dresses Photo Shoot! :) We couldn't quite get the

great shot of both of them at the same moment! Oh well :)

Rachel being her mischievous self :)

Swimming Lessons!!! Both girls started this week, but
Josh gets Emily ready during Rachel's, so here are the pics
I got of Em! They both seemed to really enjoy it, though!! :)

Listening close for the next instruction!

Face to face time :)

Practicing kicking while on their backs.

What? Don't you all talk on the phone like this??

Group shots from New Year's!! :)

Uncle Michael with Emmy and Liana!

Emily loved playing with her cousin :)

Basketball time!

Reading break :)

Rachel found out she can make fun noises with her hands!

On the move :)
