Lillie talks!

She has been saying soooo many words and is really trying to put sentences together. Today I was going to change her diaper and she ran away crying "No gankoo mommy!" I was so surprised! It is so many words in a sentence for her. And she started learning how old she is. I ask her "how old are you?" And she says "un." And sometimes even remembers to put up her one finger. She also loves to sing...I have been able to tell which song she is trying to sing by the sounds she makes. She tries to sing "I am a child of God" by singing "Eeee mee eee meee aaayyyyy." (Lead me, guide me, live with him someday). And "ABC's" she sings "b b d b d d b..." We have the alphabet on the wall so usually when we're singing it we are pointing to the letters, so when she sings it, no matter where she is, she just points in the air. She's learning SOOO much from Olivia. I love it!

I was going to post a picture of each girl just for fun and as I started going through the pictures, I realized that I haven't posted some other fun stuff we've done...

We went to the Larsen family farm in Idaho last month since we were already in Utah...It was FREEZING (probably 50's or 60's) and windy, but the wind added some serious cold. :) We picked some pears and apples.

Some cousins that live there came over. Olivia was so excited to have the cousins! She said "why I have cousins EVERYWHERE?!" It was so cute and I thought, she's right! We have them here in AZ, when we go to OR and CA she has them there, when we went to UT there were tons more, then we did a little trip to ID and she had some there...Where ever we go, she has cousins to hang out with and they are all pretty close in age. They had a lot of fun.

They found "bear" tracks... (dog)

At the farm, reading bedtime stories

I love this picture of Lillie...she's saying cheese.

Usually Olivia feeds the dog, but Lillie has been helping her lately. She scoops it out of the bucket, carefully walks it with both hands to the dish, and tries her best to get it all in the bowl. After it's dumped she shakes the scooper up and down to "make sure" it all came out.

Olivia is the best big sister ever! She helps Lillie do so many things. Here is one tiny example. She's lifting her up to smell the candle. They are so sweet with each other. Always kissing and hugging and laughing...ok...not always...but a lot. :)

I don't think I ever posted her first day of PRESCHOOL pictures! Big girl, so happy. And she loves going to school. It makes me feel so much better sending her. Last year she was going to a daycare/preschool and never liked going. She would even cry not to go sometimes, so I was glad when we finally pulled her out. At this new school she is making some cute friends and the teachers are awesome.

Cory was fixing one of the computers and girls were so interested and wanted to help. He was good to take some "cuddle time" even though he was in a hurry.
