Libby's getting married

We were talking about squares today, and had cut some cut of play dough. Libby was done with the squares and just wanted to play, when I came over to see what she had made, she told it was a temple. So when she first says it's a square, it actually started out as a square, but ended up being a temple. Libby used to say she was going to marry Avery, so I'm glad she at least has the right gender. The rest we'll have to work on.

Random

Cute girls hugging in hats.


Avery has started making this face a lot lately. I usually think she has something in her mouth, but now looking at it, it almost looks like she is doing a kissy face.

I think it is so cute when little kids dance. I think the girls got their dance moves from their dad.

Rain coats

My mom sent the girls rain coats, among other things, so we had to try them out. Avery's is just a touch too big. She liked it anyway.


I thought it was cute that Libby wanted to wear her high heels instead of her rain boots with the coat.

This is just a fun video of the girls pretending to be penguins in their rain coats.

Here is a picture of Avery standing on the table. Now one of her favorite places to be now.


I came out from taking a shower to find Libby like this. She had turned over the ottoman, and was sitting inside the round part with her parrot watching a movie.


Here she is talking to her parrot.

Video

Avery started this, and Libby just followed. She does this all the time now that she knows she can do it.

More of Idaho

We took a trip to the City of Rocks. The girls loved climbing up and down all the rocks. Scared me to death, but we all survived. Above is Avery and Papa Bell.

Uncle Deric and Libby. They even match.

Libby trying to hold up a rock.

Hiking up the rocks.

It happened to be fair and rodeo time while we were in town, so we had to go to the parade. It was pretty good. Libby got too much candy. The girls both got balloons. Avery liked her balloon more. Crazy smile.

Here's Libby waving to Smokey Bear. She called all her bears smokey for a while after that. We had a fun time visiting family thanks for everything.

Visit to Idaho

Papa was finishing up the last of his grain when we got there, so we figured the girls might like to ride in the combine with him. Avery thought it was awesome, Libby thought it was cool for awhile.

Here's Libby and Papa Bell after finishing a row.

Libby, Papa Bell, and Mom riding in the combine.

Avery chilling on the grain truck, waiting for her turn to ride in the combine.

Libby shoved all the stuffed animals she could find into the collapsible ball and then climbed in there with them.

Sea World

So we decided to spend a day at Sea World. I had never been and we thought the girls would like it too. Here we are petting a Sting Ray. Again Avery loved it and Libby kind of freaked, but it was fun.


I thought this was a neat picture, one because mine girls are being cute, but two, there are two sets of sisters in this picture. Aunt Judy, Grandma Jones, and Libby and Avery.

Here are the girls checking out the Beluga whales.

And of course the Shamu show. I didn't care too much for the day show, but the night show was amazing. Didn't get pictures of it, because all the kids crashed by then.

Everyone at the shark exhibit, except Aunt Judy, she took the picture.

At the Beach in San Diego

All of us at the beach. Aunt Jessi, Baby Norah, Grandma and Papa Jones, and Uncle Joey, and us.


Our little family playing at the beach.

Jake did a lot of this while we were there. The waves weren't that great while we were there, but he had fun anyway.

Jake helping Libby surf. She hated every minute of it. ( A woman after my own heart).

Avery surfing. She on the other hand loved it. She loved the water. We had to keep a close eye on her, because she kept running straight into the water, and the waves would wash over her.

Boards

I just thought I would post this because we are so excited. Jake got the little envelope today. For those of you who don't know what that means, it means Jake passed his first board exam. Yeah, one less worry for a while.

Singing Happy Birthday!

Libby sings Happy Bithday to herself, in the beginning, because she thinks she is going to get cake faster. Cake was the most important part of her birthday this year. Sorry about the singing from us.

Eating Birthday Cake

Libby blowing out her candle.

She started out eating so nicely....

And then she decided to ditch the fork and just use her fingers, and it just got worse from there.


She loved her cake!

More Birthday

Libby's cake, more cake pictures to come.


Grandma and Papa Bell sent Avery a present too. This is her enjoying her new princess doll.

Libby's presents before she opened them. I meant to get this in earlier, but not enough room.

Libby's Birthday

Ok so, Libby's actual Birthday isn't until tomorrow, but we are celebrating it today. She doesn't care. This is her waking up and seeing all of her presents.


Opening presents

Her tutu from Jessi David, and baby Norah.

Libby with all her new toys. She says to tell everyone "Thank you." She loves all of her presents. More pictures to come.

Wax Lips

My mom sent some wax lips in Libby birthday package, and we decided to play with them this afternoon. I have such lovely kids.
