Life capture by my cell phone camera.

In February I helped with our stake's family dance/social... The theme was "An Evening in Paris" and I was in charge of the photography room. Thank you everyone for your ideas and input, it helped me out a lot! I made these fun little French mustaches (say it like a French man would, you know you want to!) and they were a huge hit. It was a fun night.
Scott and I had to try them out. You know, to make sure they worked properly.
   

Scott stayed home to watch the girls, so I forced my friend Sage pose as my date. :)

I saw these cute little gray heels at the D.I. a couple of weeks ago and thought to myself, "those are actually cute." A split second later, I realized that they were MY shoes that I dropped off and donated a few weeks earlier. I am pathetic. I have a shoe problem. I would have justified to Scott that I needed to keep these little puppies, but that was the problem, "little." After having babies my feet are a hair bigger. Oh well, Cents of Style's Spring line comes out in a week so I'm sure I will find a replacement for them! I hope my old friends found a happy new home. Goodbye. Shoes.

This picture is too cute for words... Ellie eating her first cookie. Not cheerios, not tiny bits of cracker broken off by her paranoid mom. But a WHOLE cookie. Her face says it all.

Me and Ellie-Bug. She learned to walk at 10 1/2 months. She walks everywhere and gets into everything. It is fun for me.

I died my roots and rinsed my hair out in the sink... I wrapped my hair in a towel to dry it off, and looked up to see Tenley had been watching me the entire time. She found a dish towel hanging from the fridge door. I think she looks pretty silly, like is acting out a Nativity scene. Further, this really makes me wonder what she thinks of me, or what in the heck I was doing. Haha.

The girls like to play in the middle console of our entertainment center. They fight over it and try to wrestle each other out. Sometimes they slide the glass door across, and they look like a caged animal. It is pretty entertaining, and mutes their sound for a few minutes which is nice. Don't worry, the zoo animals can breath in there.

Now these little guys are a pair of my new shoes! So cute right? Tenley thinks so too, she has been wearing them all week.

She has also been into picking out her own outfits lately. Not so cute.

I scored these little bad boys at Real Deals the other weekend on clearance for $2.50 each! I was ecstatic. I am going to use them for my business to display hats and scarves on. Cha-ching!

Always wearing that dumb beanie from the dollar store (yes, she is wearing it right this very moment). I love when she wakes up how she has to carry around "Ella" all morning. She also loves Cheerios. She pretty much runs straight from her room, into the kitchen and asks for cereal. I love this little 2 year old.

I was cleaning house the other day, and Tenley kept grabbing the broom. So I let her help. What a surprise, Ellie joined in. They weren't very helpful but it was entertaining. Things like this are much more entertaining when you are home all day with two little rugrats I suppose.

All I see in this picture is a cluttered, half decorated kitchen. But what I was trying to capture are the red berries woven through the glowing candles. They are new, I've been jonesin' for them for a while!

Another set of new berries, in yellow. They look so cute on my mantle with my little bird friends.

These are the girls' new little cozies, from Scentsy. They are called Scentsy Buddies and you can put a yummy scent inside their bodies so that they smell super delicious! The girls drag these little guys all over the house, and sleep with them. Best investment ever. Ellie's lamb smells like baby powder, and it rubs off on her skin too which calls for some major post-nap cuddle time from mom!

Who doesn't watch TV in their toy basket? P.S. yes, my living room floor always looks like this. Trashed with toys. If the girls are awake, it is trashed. Some day I will have a designated toy room. Good excuse, right?

Scott loves it when I put Tenley's hair in a whole ponytail. So we did it the other day and texted him a picture. She does look pretty cute. But too grown up. No more ponytails for a while. :)

The other day Ellie and her friend Ryker kept kissing! It was hysterical. She even wrapped her little arm around his neck at one point and went in for the kill. Ellie is totally a teenager trapped in a baby's body. I am in for it.

Had to record this moment, Tenley napping on me... she is 2 1/2 and this never happens!

Tenley doesn't eat bread. In any way, shape, or form. Her therapist suggested we let her "play" with the foods she doesn't like, so I cut some bread into blocks and we built towers. Guess what??? She still won't eat bread.

Too cute for words picture #2. Tenley watching cartoons in her outfit of choice. I am shocked it isn't accompanied by the dollar store beanie.
