Wisconsin Vacation

Yes, I know I've been MIA the past few weeks. We just got back on the 29th from spending two weeks in Wisconsin. My friend Danielle got married and I was a bridesmaid so it was a perfect time to go back for the wedding and to visit family as well. We had such a blast, it was so hard to say goodbye. Which is increasingly hard to do especially since we have the kids now. Emme had so much fun visiting her Great Grandma as well as her Grandma and Grandpa. We could have stayed for another month, or two!
The weather as usual was unpredictable but we did have some decent weather the first week we were there, as for the second week, lots of rain. But that's how the cookie crumbles, it really wouldn't have mattered that much because we were just glad to be there with my family.

Danielle's wedding was a huge success, it turned out so lovely and we had a wonderful time. I felt so honored to be part of it.

We did alot of relaxing, going on the pontoon, riding atvs, getting ice cream, all that fun stuff. Emme loved running around in the grass and exploring my Grandma's house as well. She loved feeding the fish in their pond and chasing around my mom and dad's dog Tucker, who looks like a giant bear. So I don't think she missed out on anything. Stella was great as always and she loved all the attention she got from everyone. We also got to see some of my extended family such as my Aunt and Uncle and my cousins which was great too. I miss everyone already! I can't wait until our next trip back.

Pictures and Update

So I'm definately behind on updating the blog lately, I feel like we have been really busy with things. We got the girls pictures taken finally (about a month later than I would have liked.) I wanted to get them weeks ago but something always came up. It was for sure worth the wait, they turned out adorable! If I do say so myself.

Also, the girls had their 18 month and 4 month check up even though it was more like 19 months for Emme. Emme is in the 50% for weight, about 25 lbs and Stella is in the 97% 18 lbs 6 oz! Holy cow I know! What a little chubby blueberry! They both are getting so old so fast it seems. Emme seems to be saying new words every day and Stella has really started to grab on to everything and play with toys, she rolled over both ways last month, and they are just turning into such amazing girls. Stella's personality is so laid back and happy, I'm so lucky to have such a great baby. Emme is as busy as ever, and it's really nice she is getting to the point that she plays more independantly and will get me things when I ask, or does it without asking too which is a big help.

Now we are just on the count down to visiting Wisconsin the middle of next month to visit my family and friends and Dani's wedding, can't wait!

Easter

Easter was a blast this year! Emme is now old enough to enjoy Easter Egg hunts and all that comes along with it, she had so much fun! Brian and I always say how we love watching Emme having fun and she sure had her fill of fun. We did a pre Easter Egg hunt at our house on Saturday to get her used to the idea and then she had two more on Sunday. She was a pro by the second one, she knew exactly what to look for and was running around grabbing as many eggs as she could. Her favorite were the ones with M&Ms in them of course. I think Easter was like Christmas for her, she got so many nice things from us, Nanny and Papa, and Heidi's parents as well. Stella got a basket too but Emme opened it for her of course. Next year will really be great with both of them running around!


We went to a Easter Parade on Friday with our friends Marie, Alex, and Gavin. Emme and Gavin had such a good time watching the parade and dancing to the music. She was clapping the whole time and would break out into spontaneous dancing whenever she heard music. After the parade, we went to the carnival they had at the community center by our house and she got to jump in the bouncy houses, ride on the rides, and watch our friend's little girl dance.
