Tribute to a Two-year old!

I decided after having a crazy day yesterday, I would dedicate this entry to my darling two-year-old. My grandma always says that this is her favorite stage. Somedays I wonder. And after cleaning up an entire bag of gold fish today, I was wondering to myself, what happened to the days when she could just sit up (not crawl) and not get into anything. So here are a few pictures to celebrate what life is like with a two-year-old.

Clothes...who needs em? Is getting your two-year-old dressed a challenge to anyone else?

Bubbles! Emma is obsessed with bubbles. So this is about the only way I can get dishes done. Give her a pile and strap her in her high chair. :)

And with two comes potty training. We'll just say "or not." We are trying, but with little success. Instead, Emma has learned how to take off her diapers and then has an accident in her bed. With as hard as this is, I wonder how any of us made it through potty training.

And let's not forget how fun it is when they get into things. Especially mom's make-up. At least she knows that mascara goes on the eyes.

At the end of the day, we are just so glad that she is cute! And so full of energy. I guess that is what makes life interesting. And on those less than interesting days that she might be doing some of the above mentioned discresions, you may want to check Craig's list for her.
Just in fairness to Emma, we thought we would show Camilla in her true form also. :)

We actually do stuff!

So I am always bugging Kevin and telling him that we never do anything fun. (Except go to Idaho, which sometimes could be argued as a fun trip :)
I thought I would post this to our blog to remind me that we did do something on the weekend. Here is proof that we are actually doing something fun. And even better, we are hanging out with friends (another rare thing when you have two kids). Thanks Wilkins for hanging out with us. We had a blast. We went up Provo Canyon and had a barbecue. It was really fun! The weather was beautiful. One of my favorite things about Provo is that you can drive 10 minutes and be somewhere beautiful and away from the city. It is great.
I did learn a lesson. Don't EVER forget the leash! Emma is a pill. She just wandered off by herself numerous times. She even went across the bridge all by herself. We were constantly chasing after her. She will take off and not even think about looking back to see if mom and dad are there. She gets that from her dad, I've been told. Kevin growing up had ants in his pants, he couldn't hold still (has he grown out of that?).
Well I hope to have more summer adventures to add to the first one of the summer!

Yep...jinxed!

So I don't even know if jinxed is a word, but according to Kevin, I make up words anyways. Well Camilla has not really slept since I posted my blog about success. Darn! And Emma now prefers her crib. She asks to sleep in her crib instead of her big-girl bed. We then tell her that the crib is a baby bed and she doesn't want to sleep in a baby bed. She then replies with "yes, baby bed...crib" (which is more like trib). So to help her with her transition, we bought those plastic safety doorknobs. We also put one on the front door since she can unlock the deadbolt. Well it took Emma about 10 minutes to learn how to open her bedroom door with the safety doorknobs on. She is too smart for her own good. So wish us luck on the future success (hopefully) of our girls sleeping.

Silly Emma

So now I finally figured out how to put videos on! So I hope you enjoy Emma being her crazy self. While Emma was watching this she said, "Silly Emma." So that is what it is called. Enjoy!

Success...maybe?

Well I hope I don't jinx myself. My girls are having success. Emma has slept the past three nights in her big girl bed. Hooray! And we didn't even have to use the safety doorknobs! So we think/hope that everything will go good. But we are going to Idaho this weekend, so hopefully it won't mess her up. Our other success is that Camilla has slept 6 hours straight during the past two nights. (This one we know won't last). But it has been nice to sleep 6 hours at a time (for the first time in a month). So I feel like a new woman!

Cutie-pie

We think she is so adorable! We had her all dressed up for church on Sunday. Did we mention that we love having girls?

Twiners!

So this is why you have two girls in a row. I bought them twinner dresses that they wore on Sunday. It is so fun to dress them alike! I love it!
