A new friend...

While visiting Uncle Stoney and Aunt Ali in Colorado Springs (more on that later) the girls made a new friend at the play ground down the street....

they named him Rider.

 I came in my room the other day to find this....

 

And they both thought it was hilarious!

Traveling zoo

We had a last minute visit from the Burton family, it was a wonderful surprise!  Our church was having their annual Freedom Fest and Matt, PJ, and the girls were able to join us.

They also brought some special friends to share with us.  They had gotten 3 bunnies while visiting family in Paris.  The girls loved sitting in a circle passing them around, petting them. 
Loved the time with you guys, we'll have to make it longer next time!

2 and 5

Since Selah and Rinnah's birthdays are only 6 days apart, we have had a joint party for them the last two years.  It's fun, and helps with saving time and $$$!
This year Selah wanted the girls to come to her party dressed as princesses.  How is that going to work?, I thought.  She has so many little boys that she wanted to invite too.  I threw it out there to her... How about a princess and knight party!?
Yes!! I love that Mommy!
So, the planning began.  Since it was Rinnah's 2nd, we did tutus for her party.  I could make it all work together, right?
It was a lot of fun.  I made tri colored cupcakes, crowns for each child, and we played pin the fire to the dragon.  Simple, cute, affordable.

And we now have a 2 year old little girl that is just tutu cute....

 And a 5 year old princess!
