Today Maisy is 3!

At 12:08 this morning Maisy turned 3. Grandpa brought her donuts for breakfast, we took her to the park to ride her new bike, we had a picnic and went to Smallwoods to look at the farm animals and play on the toys.

These are just some random pictures of the many moods of Maisy.

Happy to be running!

Happy to be tall enough to ride on the "Awesome" Blossom rides Apple blossom)
Feeling pensive

Feeling unhappy

Looking sweet

Happy Birthday Maddie

Today Maddie turned 3. We celebrated by doing some of her favorite things; we went to Costco, rode her new bike at the park, ate lunch at the bagel shop that looks like a castle, saw grandma and grandpa and ate ice cream cones.

These pictures and video are from last week but they are of her singing and dancing which is what Maddie has spent the majority of the last year doing.

The Latest Makeup Trends

It's been rainy around here lately and the girls are getting restless so I let them play in my makeup and this is what I got. I gave them all the makeup that I bought in the wrong shade or it's to light or to dark. They look a little clown-like but it was funny and kept them busy for hours.

Ella went a little crazy with the flashy lip colors

Maddie and Ella stuck with it the longest

Maddie even added some pink highlights in her hair with lipstick

Ella added some eyebrows

Maisy only played for a little while cause she is very paticular and thought the makeup was "to tight"

A Few Quotes and Unrelated Pictures

Today Ella told me "I don't know what to do when I grow up! Should I be a shepherd, a butterfly or a baseball player?"

The other day we drove by an ambulance and Maddie said "Look! I see a helper truck!"

And I just thought these were cute pictures

Ella + Quiet Time + Camera =

Easter

We had a fun Easter this year. Here are some random pictures since still shots or posing (except Ella, she loves posing) is out of the question. I'll say who is who since I dressed them all alike.

Obviously Ella and Maisy

Baby Chicks Pictures and Video

On saturday we went to Big R to show the girls all the baby chickens, ducks and bunnies. We couldn't resist, so now we have Katie, Cutie and Kyle (the red one)

Likeable Pictures

These are just some random pictures from the last couple weeks.

Here are Maddie and Maisy at the college.

Ella and Maisy wrestling which is just another name for hugging :)

Maisy

Maisy found a clever way to hold her blankets and stuffed animals and still be hands free. (also, she didn't get hurt when she fell off the bed)

Sunny Days

Last weekend we went to the college to enjoy the sun. My girls love the college with the huge lawn, a building they think is a castle and lots of places to explore.

We collected some pine cones and made bird feeders

There are some great trees to hide behind...
Ella used the parking lot to practice riding her bike with no training wheels

Maddie and "stuffy" were happy running in circles.

Action Shots

On Friday nights Ella gets to move her mattress into the babes room for a slumber party. They have lots of fun jumping from mattress to mattress to mattress

Made Up Verses

Ella has been making up her own verses lately. Some of the cutest ones are "I will shine up to the heavens, Psalm 1:900" and "We will shine our smiles to the world to praise the Lord, Psalm 8:4" "Number 1, we will praise the Lord to keep us safe. Psalm 3rd 8 and 9"

Ella's little buddy

Ella pretty much loves everyone but Jacey is one of her favorites.

Poor Maddie!

Maddie has had a scratchy voice and a cough for a few weeks so yesterday I took her to the doctor to have a little checkup. I was expecting him to say it was nothing to worry about and it was just leftover from a cold she had awhile ago. But it wasn't. She has damaged vocal cords, possibly asthma and is probably going to need to have her tonsils out. We were not expecting that.

Hugs

I think Ella is cute towards the end of this video when she kisses the tops of her sisters head

Pictures from Christmas Time

The week before Christmas I got to watch the Kolbo girls and Posenjak boys so I took the opportunity to get a picture of all the cousins. The closest thing to a good picture was the one they were all being silly

Christmas day. Here's another silly picture with the other cousins
Madelyn, Ella, Jacey, Maisy in there matching pajamas. Josiah and Jasper got some too but I didn't have a picture with all of them

Ella cozy with great grandpa Lou

The day after Christmas we had a very chilly, icy sledding day
