School pictures are back.




These are not the best pictures we've taken, but they sure aren't the worst! And they do show what sweet girls we have!

Did I mention Piper is fearless....



it's the little things....

Sunday in church we started our worship by watching a video of seven of the 10 baptisms since Easter Sunday. We sang as a congregation while the video was playing. It was very emotional for me. The video was over and we stood to continue singing and I thought to myself, "Whew, can't believe I made it through that without crying." At that exact moment, Piper (whom I was holding) put her little arms around my neck and gave me her first ever hug. I didn't make it through that without crying. It truly was a precious moment. So far, I am the only recipient of them, but I get them often. And they melt my heart every time. I'm sure soon you will all get to experience them!!

And Brenna...well, she just never ceases to amaze us! Last night she was jumping from our ottoman to our big green chair and right before she jumped she said "Here goes nothing." Where do they learn this stuff? We, of course, just cracked up. She is always coming up with stuff like that...uses the 'actually' correctly and with just a bit a sassiness (which usually gets her in trouble)... says 'I don't that is right, mama'...figures out how to do things on her own...etc.

Life is good, and it is the little things that makes it that way.

a few more....

At our house these days it is not uncommon to find pillows lined up from one end of a room to another...or even from one room to another. Brenna enjoys jumping on the line. And she usually wants some company. I say that is Daddy's game.

This is our friend Molly. She is twelve and Brenna adores her! I think she is pretty great myself.

Easter Egg hunt at school

Brenna's class hunted for eggs on the play ground. It was cold that day, but Brenna insisted on her outfit. We battled shoes, but I wasn't going to battle pants. Below Brenna is in the fort with her friend Lindley.


Piper's teachers "hid" the eggs in their room. Most of them had no idea what was going on. Below is Piper and Kailey.

Here comes Peter Cottontail...

Josh took these outside before it became winter around here again!


Damma sent these glass stickers. Piper was pulling them off as quickly as Brenna could put them up. As you can see, Brenna got a little tired of it., haha

Just life...

Piper loves Brenna's babydoll. Soon after this she got her own. Now we just need to get her own bottle.

I love this picture of Brenna. I know she is being goofy with her tongue, but her eyes are so striking.

Sweet faces

PIPER IS WALKING!!!

Who could resist this face? Yes, those are pig tails!

Josh was taking pictures at the shop for our website (www.toogoodtobethroughonline.com) and took a moment to capture our girls.
