Princess and the Pee

Yes, that is our little princess and yes, she is potty trained!!! Brooklyn struggles a little still and I still have them wear pull ups for naps and bedtime, but they are potty trained! I haven't bought diapers for a month now! Oh what a blessed occasion this is!

We got a pool!!!

Ok, so maybe our pool is only 3X3, but the girls had a blast! It was exceptionally warm last week (80+) so I decided to pull out the pool that I bought like 2 years ago, put on their swimsuits, and let them play on the deck! I got some warm water from our kitchen sink and filled it up. Brooklyn kept telling me that it needed to be roasty toasty so I had to add more warm water every 10 minutes or so. It kept them entertained for a good hour! After they went swimming I let them watch Thomas the Train and eat oranges on the floor. Now when we have visitors over the girls like to show them their pool. Now it just needs to warm up for us to go swimming in it again.

On Sunday in Boise I went and visited my Grandma Ewing at her retirement center. We had a great visit. She really enjoyed seeing the girls play together. After visiting with Grandma we took some naps then my parents and my sister went to the viewing for my Uncle Glenn. I've never really been comfortable with viewings so I offered to babysit everyone's kids. So, we had 6 kids under the age of 6 and 4 were 2 and younger. They played really well together. I made a big bowl of popcorn and the kids played outside for a good part of the afternoon. Playing with the kids brought back a lot of good memories of when I was a child. They played a lot of the same things I did as a child. We played hide and seek, had races, pulled kids in the wagon, and explored in the trees. I thoroughly enjoyed myself. On Monday, we went to the funeral at 10am. It was great to see a lot of family that I hadn't seen in a long time. I felt proud to come from the heritage and strong family that the Blaser's represent. Uncle Glenn was buried in the same cemetery as my grandparents so I went over to their graves and got to show my girls the graves and tell them about their grandparents. They were both really sweet about what I told them. They both kissed their graves and told them that they loved and missed them. I wish they did know them and Uncle Glenn. I'm sure they probably did know them before they came to our family. I don't know why, but I appreciate funerals because they share stories and focus on the happy parts of a persons life. I'm sad Uncle Glenn is no longer here on earth, but I have a testimony that I will see him again. Uncle Glenn was a great story teller so I can't wait to hear the stories he has to share when I see him in heaven.

Travel log from Boise Trip...Day 3: PICTURE OVERLOAD!

The girls were scoping out the pool area.

After their baths...


On Saturday we played outside a good part of the day. My sister and her hubby were in Mexico for the week so my Mom was watching Kennedy, their daughter. All 3 girls were buddies. They watered plants, rode on the lawnmower with Grandpa, dug in Grandma's garden dirt, kicked the ball around, and just explored. They were in heaven. At one point, the girls filled up a pot with water, stripped down naked, and climbed in. So, there were 3 little nudies in a flower pot. What goofballs! They were VERY busy this day and slept VERY well!

Kenzie zonked on a bed. She just buries herself when she sleeps.
Miss Queen Bee wanted to sleep on Grandma's bed. She went right to sleep and stayed asleep on her bed for a good 2-3 hours everyday. Both girls were great little nappers when we were in Boise.
Looking for bugs. Brooklyn is fascinated by them.

A week ago I went to Boise to go to my Uncle Glenn's funeral. I left on a Thursday and got home on Monday of the following week. I always have a lot of fun when I go to Boise. So, lots of fun equals lots of pictures. I will not overwhelm you with my whole trip of pictures in 1 post...so I will stretch my trip out over a couple of posts. Great rationalization right?!?

On Thursday we traveled to Boise and just vegged with family. These are pictures from Friday's adventures. On Friday, we went to the park with Heather's kids (my sister) and Grandpa Ewing. The girls just love going to parks. They also played in my parent's yard. My folks have the best yard. My Mom believes that the best toys you can get a kid are a shovel, a bucket, and some great dirt with water. They just thrive and are such happy kids when they are outside playing. Plus, they take great naps and go to bed really easily too when they "work" so hard at playing.

Playin' at the park before the big Easter hunt!

Brooklyn was pushing Kenzie
A little delayed on this post....We thought the big Easter Egg hunt on Saturday was at 9 so we showed up at 9 and no one was there. The girls were very upset that we were going back home so decided to go to the park until the hunt at 10. They just love the park. We have lots of little parks all throughout our neighborhood so it is fun to hit different ones when we go.
