Easter Sunday at the park

The Zoo

Sadie, Grace & Da Da

Grace & Da Da at the zoo

We took the girls to the zoo with their cousins and had some fun. Most of the animals were sleeping and I didn't think the Phoenix Zoo had all that much to offer. Grace has such a free spirit and does NOT like to be in the stroller. But you can't take out one and not the other and having two that go exact opposite directions would drive the most patient parents in the world crazy. We also should have gone a couple weeks earlier when it was cooler. There are a lot of hills at this zoo.

PUPPY!!

Hugging the puppy

Grace & Remmie

Grace giving Remmie the biggest/longest hug I have ever seen a child give a dog. As soon as I let her go, she RAN over and just threw herself on Remmie and hugged him.

Twice Blessed

Baptism Day

During our trip to Johnstown, we decided to have our girls baptized along with all our other nieces. (Except Jaden she was already baptized) It was kind of last minute and right after the shower Dave's mom and sisters had for me. So I had very little time to find dresses for the girls and in Johnstown there is pretty much one store to look in. Luckily, they had two dresses the size and style I liked. It was pretty hectic and crazy with 7 girls besing baptized at the same time. Not being Catholic it was an interesting ceremony to be a part of.

Blessing Day

The day my girls were blessed, my parents church started in the morning. Being that we were already up in the mornings I thought everything would go relatively smooth. We got up, got showered, got dressed, fed the girls and got them dressed. I decided to put their dresses on when we got to church because Gracie had a little spit up problem and I didn't want it all over her dress. So we're running a little late but not too bad considering we have twins, but most of all my husband has no concept of time. Anyway, as we pull into the parking lot I discover that I left the dresses on the couch. They were the same dresses we had them baptized in and I really wanted to use the same dresses. However, we didn't feel we had enough to run home to get the dresses and they just had a onsie on so Dave ran to Walmart and picked out these dresses all by himself.

My dad blessed both girls and he did a wonderful job.

(So did Sadie and Grace)
