Easter 2012

 Coloring easter eggs!

 Ashlyn and cousin Izzy loving the results of their eggs.  They look proud!

 Our 2 lovely ladies :)

Owen, Izzy, Maddox, Brielle & Ashlyn...the best we could do.  Not too bad!

Disney on Ice: Dare to Dream!

A good friend of mine and I took our princesses to a Disney on Ice show in the Cities last month. The girls were extremely excited to go and had a blast. The show was really good even Jenny and I enjoyed it! Mickey and Minnie even made an appearance. Boy was Ashlyn excited!

Loving Bath Time...

Brielle loves her bathtime and loves the water!

It's been a while...a few more recent pics!

We enjoyed the nice warm weather in March this year! Ashlyn was so excited to get outside and play and Brielle loves being outside as well watching her big sister and wishing she could run around with her. Her time will come soon enough! Taking a walk on a beautiful 80 degree March day!!!

Happy 9 months Brielle!

We have had a busy couple months recently! Brielle has mastered crawling and is all over the house. She tries to keep up with her big sister and is into everything! She is also pulling up on furniture and before long we suspect she will be cruising along things as well. She finally got her 2 bottom teeth a few weeks ago and is now working on 4 on the top at once. Along with teething and the winter season colds our smiley little girl has had a few weeks of being a little miserable. :( She has still been sleeping well through it all though so we can't complain there. Only a few mornings when she wakes up at 5am and decides she is done with that sleeping thing and thinks it's "playtime." Our little thumbsucker...good and bad all at the same time...what do you do :) Liking her "puffs"

Ashlyn taking over mommy and daddy's job! Ashlyn always wants to help with her little sister or likes to do whatever mom and dad are doing with Brielle with her own "baby." She is a busy 3 year old always singing or telling us stories about something. She continues to like art as well and brings us home plenty of projects she makes at daycare.

Two smiley sweethearts :)

More Christmas in Colby!

Christmas Day we had a nice lunch with the Hoernke's! Of course Grandpa Dave and Grandma Karen (a.k.a. applesauce Grandpa & Grandma) were there and Grandma Mae was able to drive over and join us as well. She got to meet Brielle for the first time so that was nice! The Hoernke/Oney bunch! (Derrick, Jen, Austin, Jake, Joel & Jeremy)

Our family (can you tell Ashlyn was being just a little uncooperative - grumpy little girl!)

More Hoernke's

(Darrin, Jake, Tyler & Stacy)

Grandma Mae with the great-grandkids!

(again with Ashlyn not wanting to be in the picture - at least we made it sort of work!)

Grandma Mae with her Grandsons.

Christmas in Colby...

We had a great Christmas at the Resturaunt celebrating with the Hesgard's on Christmas Eve! We had great food, great company and Ashlyn was happy as could be with Grandma Debbie's famous "cherry drink!"

Shotzy hanging out with Jeremy the day after the party! Ashlyn testing her photography skills by taking a pic of grandma all by herself...not bad at all!

Brielle hung in there at the party like a champ. She wouldn't give into much of a nap all night even though she snuggled up nice and close to aunt Stacy at the end of the night :)
