Spring School Pictures

Our darling little girls are getting so big and beautiful. Here are their Spring School Pictures, such cute and sweet little sisters. Lilly's class had pictures a separate day from sibling pictures so she got to go to school dressed up two days in a row. When her class had pictures she convinced her teacher she HAD to have her picture taken again, so she ended up with extra pictures this spring! We love and adore these little sweeties!

 

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to my Wonderful Husband! He is an amazing Father, his little girls LOVE and ADORE their Daddy SO MUCH! We love you more and more each day!

 

 

Wishing all the wonderful Dads out there a Happy Father's Day!

Little Tree Climber

This spring Lilly is really into climbing trees, she wants to climb every tree she can every non-rainy day we have. She just scampers up the trees and can climb pretty high.

 Here she is climbing one of her favorite trees in our yard. The first picture is such a sweet face but the second picture is the face she makes most of the time as she climbs and explores.

 

 

Rollerskating Diva

It has been a busy season of birthday parties for Miss Lilly and she wants to attend them all! Her favorite by far was a rollerskating party where she got to rollerskate for real (without the wheels tightened) for the first time. She loved it! She was so competetive and tough and pushed herself to do as much as possible. Maybe she will want to have a rollerskating party when she finally turns 5, she is the only one in her class that is still 4 and really wants to be a big kid.

 

More Fun At The Park

Earlier in the month we had some lovely warm summer like days and spent a lot of time at the park. Now the weather seems to be back to more typical Oregon spring weather but it was a nice preview os summer days to come. The girls love going to the park and could spend hours there! Lilly is constantly pushing herself to do harder big kid stuff at the park.

 

Ice Cream Rewards

Lilly's parent-teacher conference was very positive as well as her pre-school report card scores so we had to go out for Ice Cream to celebrate.

Vivi was thrilled because she didn't have to do anything to earn ice cream too. At one point Vivi noticed a lady waiting outside the ice cream shop and loudly told her "You go inside, get you ice cream!" She was very concerned about someone missing out on such delicious treats.

 



 

Lilly was excited because you can pick all your own toppings and she loaded hers up with candies and sprinkles. We are very proud of how hard Lilly is working at school and doing so well academically and socially. She is growing up so much!

Just Cruisin'

The girls had to check out Grandmommy's sports car when she was visiting. They really liked that the car was closer to their size! Such silly little sweeties!

 

Flight Attendant Lilly

When Lilly's class was studying transportation a parent, who is a pilot, brought in some cardboard cut outs for the kids to pose with. All of Lilly's teachers found her picture hillarious and the most realistic looking out of all the kids, what a funny little girl!

 

 

 

Coloring Easter Eggs

Well we didn't document it well on the blog but of course we celebrated Easter and the girls had a blast with all related Easter events. Here they are coloring Easter Eggs. Vivi was very confused as to why there were so many cups of juice and she was not allowed to drink them. After all the eggs were colored she was still determined to get to drink all the juice and kept asking "I drink juice now?" She was pretty disappointed in the end!

 

Butterflies

This spring we raised caterpillars and watched them become butterlies again in the butterfly box Ryan made me MANY years ago! The girls loved watching the caterpillars and butterflies and Lilly named them. The best part was watching one of them unroll and roll its long tongue for 10 minutes straight, Lilly was in awe!

 

Of course I didn't manage to get pictures of the girls setting them free or anything really cool but we had fun raising them and studying them. Here were our butterflies from this year.

 

Car Trip to Mountain Visit

If I ever find the camera charger again I will make sure to add some pictures from our February Wagoner's trip to the mountains, another fun tradition the girls really enjoyed!

 

On the way to and from the mountains Lilly treated each hill like part of a rollercoaster, no matter how small it was. Vivi wasn't sure what was going on since she is too short to see the hills but she made to watch Lilly and put her hands in the air and said "Wee" each time too. Such silly little girls!

 

Baby Chicks

Every Spring we have a tradition of visiting the baby chicks at the farm store with my parents. The girls LOVE the baby chicks and could spend hours running from bin to bin watching the chicks, naming them, talking to them and saying "Awww" a bunch of times. This year they had a lot of fun and enjoy the tradition!

 

Cuddling Sisters

The girls are at a point where they really love and adore each other. Vivi is a really cuddly kid and whenever the girls are watching cartoons she calls out this request "I need a cuddle buddy!" Usually Lilly likes her space but sometimes she agrees to be Vivi's "cuddle buddy" and it is oh so cute!

 

 

 

Scooters and a Story

The girls got darling scooters for Christmas and enjoy attempting to ride them. Lilly does pretty well, Vivi really struggles. On this particular cold but sunny day we went for a longer scooter ride/walk. Every few feet the girls would stop for a break and Lilly would collect leaves and Vivi would imitate her. Unfortunately Vivi's ability to find actual leaves is not as refined and she picked up a green lump, which turned out to be moldy dog poop.

 

I immediately told her to drop it and instructed her not to put her hands near her face or mouth and told both the girls we had to go home right away to clean her up. After she dropped the green poo she giggled and deliberately put her hands in her mouth. As I opened my mouth to yell at her she giggled louder and shoved her hands in MY mouth! It was beyond disturbing!

 

We spent an agonizing 5 minutes riding/walking back to the house (Lilly riding while I carried Vivi and her scooter) with Vivi screaming and Lilly constantly asking what was going to happen to her when we got home. It has been by far one of the grossest things I have experienced which having small children and many years teaching small children, but also one of the funniest stories I share!

 

 

 

VERY Belated Easter Pictures

We had a lovely Easter with both sides of the family this year. The girls are just so much fun right now!

 

Here are pictures of celebrations with the Wagoner side.

 

My Aunt and Uncle brought a collection of hats for everyone to wear an "easter bonnet" for pictures. Vivi was a huge fan of a skunk pellet hat that she called her "meow, meow" hat.

 

Here are some pictures of the Lawrence side celebrations:
