Bath time!

These 2 would play in the bath forever....or at least until Liv says "Mom....I think it's time to get out....look at my feet" like she did tonight. Silly girls!

After walking to the park and getting soaked in the rain that started as soon as we got there, we walked back home and were drenched. We decided to have a movie night intead....Liv picked "The Princess and the Frog." The girls immediately climbed up in the chair together and just sat and ate their cheesy popcorn and watched the movie for the longest time. It was so cute. They are both getting so big :(

Fun at the park!

We found a new park by Olivia's dance class and have gone there a couple of times now. They love it and Olivia seems to meet a new friend every time we go. Here are a couple of pictures from the first time we went.

Taking the scissors in her own hands!

I don't know what possessed her to do so but last Wednesday....Olivia cut her hair!!! She was sitting at the table cutting paper and got up to go to the bathroom. When she came back and sat down, she proudly claimed "I cut my hair mommy!" with the biggest smile. I said "You what?" and again she said with the biggest grin "I cut my hair!" Next thing I know Chris is running up the stairs and put his hand in her hair and a big long clump came out. I about cried!!! He ran to the bathroom and sure enough....hair everywhere. I asked her why she did it and she said "I just wanted to." She told Chris....."Don't worry, it'll grow back fast!" I took her in to get it "evened out" the next day to our hair stylist and she went with the layer tactic.....which was a little hard because she took such a big chunk off of the one side. One chunk of hair in the back was up by her ears in length even, but luckily, was hidden underneath the longer hair! After it was all said and done and she got 2 chocolates, she was better....although I had to hold her hand the whole time and she was not happy at the time! It really does look pretty cute and even though the back is a little longer than the front, you can't even really notice. She swears she will never do it again....I'm just glad she didn't do it to her bangs.....or better yet.....her sister's hair!

The Before:

The After!

She is so lucky that they were able to keep it as long they did. Thank god for layers! She did take at least 6 inches off the back though and even more in the front!

Cabin Fever 2012

We had so much fun this year up north at the cabin with everyone. The girls loved every minute of it! This year Olivia really loved fishing off of the dock and was quite the little fisher lady! Both girls loved going to the beach every day and had so much fun feeding all of the ducks. It was fun to see Peyton running around and trying to keep up with her big sister this year. Here are some pictures from our trip....a lot of pictures from our trip!

Peyton playing tether ball...one of her favorite things to do this year!

The whole gang minus Matt who had to leave early to get back to work....Me, peyton, Olivia, Chris, Dad, Vickie, and Mom

The girls ate their breakfast every morning on the deck and would feed the chipmunks breakfast too....those chipmunks will have enough peanuts to last them all winter after we were there for a week!

Ready to hit the beach!

Diva Liv and Peyton who always has to copy :)

We loved the sun all week!

Liv loved going in the lake!

She even went down the slide this year....after I cleaned off ALL of the spider webs....with a shovel of course....there's no way I would touch them either :)
