A new toy...or rather one we finally bought batteries for! :)

This is fun!

The air works for hair too :)

Not sure what's going on here, but it took concentration :P

A trip to OMSI! Emily loved being in charge of the stroller!

Sometimes she needed a little help steering, though :)

Putting up St. Patrick's Day window clings with Grammy!

Car racing......zooooooooooom!

Almost within reach...

Rachel is now on the move with the shopping cart!

Emily liked to lap her, but paused for a moment here :)

Zzzzzzz....all that running around wore me out!

Water Fun!

A bath with Emily cracked Rachel up! She wouldn't sit still and
kept falling over which made her laugh even more!! :)

Soooooo funny! :)

Two happy girls!

More swimming pictures! Loving it!

Floating is fun with a mermaid in her hand! :)

S-P-L-A-S-H!!!

Rachel LOVES this float and would glide all day if we let her!

And a littler splash from Rach!

15minutes of playtime captured in photos...busy girls! :)

Who knew balloons were like flying kites!

Sharing with Rachel!

I SEE YOU!

Got your nose Em :)

Haha! Surprised you up here, didn't I?

Coming in?


Now see, we put them in here....

And then we can get them out here!

Yeah, but putting them up here is more fun!

Yes, this is officially how you stuff your face! :)

And here's a more dainty approach....

Rachel doing a little light reading....

Cooking up something in the kitchen!

The cutest little 2 year old grin :) When did she grow up??

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 :)
