Ella's Birthday!!!

Our sweetie sweet turned one & had a fabulous time on her birthday shoving as much chocolate cake as possible in her teeny mouth. The time is flying, honey, but we love you sooo much! Happy Birthday, Ella Marie!

The 185+4=1 Equation

So, whaddya get when you count down to an gorgeous Hawaiian vacation for 185 days, then spend 4 days in paradise?? Two pathetic parents who miss their kids sooo much, they come back 1 day early. We really shouldn't admit that. Hawaii was gorgeous. I don't know WHAT we were thinking.

The Accused...

Mara & Ella have been charged with Extreme Mess Making in their rooms & on their faces. How do they plead? GUILTY!

Cupid's Day

Valentines Day is one of my absolute favorites. The girls are fully on board, and Josh plays along for the cookies.

"Messy Mondays"

Yeah, so THIS is the new class that Mara picked. Need I say more?

A Little Bit of Nothin'

Things have been so crazy lately, it has been nice to spend some time chilin' with the girls at home. Here's what we've been up to: Ella is totally into music & thinks sh'es hilarious with headphones, the girls love kissing & snuggling (at the aquarium), and Mara has developed an obsession with Fancy Nancy... soooo cute!

BRING IT!

(Gulp) Here we go!!

An Iggy Update...

Sooo, here's what's happening at our house:
Mara learned to crawl into Ella's crib (they lllove it!), Ella FINALLY got her first tooth (much to Josh's relief), and Mara started a "Pixie Parade" class, which we all adore. Busy, busy, busy!

Christmas Angels

Christmas with the girls this year was more meaningful than ever. We were thrilled watching them play with their cousins & the awe with which they opened each and every gift.

Crazy About Christmas Cookies

Be it sugar cookies, orange oatmeal, or gingerbread men, Ella Marie is CRAZY about cookies.... and can ya blame her??

Woo- Hoo, Mara's Two!!

Boy, time flies when you're having fun, eh? Mara's two & we celebrated the day with lots of favorites- chocolate cake, more pink than you can imagine, and Minnie Mouse. Happy Birthday, my sweet daughter!

Ellas's Day in Court

YAYYY!! It's official-- Ella is an IGGY! We are elated. The day was super crazy, but all's well that ends well, right? We celebrated (in typical Iggy fashion) with Jamb-bag (Jamba & a bagel).

Practically a Family Member

We have long loved Bear Lake & after years of saving & dreaming, we built a summer house there. We went up to check out our new digs & had sooo much fun!

Another Disney Addict

Alright, alright. We KNOW. It's soon. But we just can't help ourselves. And as if it were meant to be, we were invited to be in the parade (thanks, Grammy)!! Ella enjoyed her first taste of sugar & Mara loved all the sights to see.
