Dannon Poster Child

Can you tell this girl is serious about her yogurt!

Here she is in the middle of her testimonial,
telling all about the benefits of Light & Fit:
(vanilla is her favorite)

She got very serious and even thought about crying
when someone wanted to take the yogurt away:
(Don't mess with this 4-monther!)

And here she is wondering aloud why she hasn't lost any weight,
but in fact continues to pack on the pounds.
She's sure it's not the yogurt's fault:

It must be the whole milk!

Lil' Miss GRADUATE!

Rylie has graduated from kindergarten!
And is ready to move on to bigger and better things, like...
eating lunch at school!
having more than one recess!
and reading chapter books!!!

As for me, I am preparing to boycott the first grade,
so she can stay home with me :-)

BESTest Cousins!

This is Violet with her cousin, Ridge!
Isn't he handsome?
Violet and Ridge are only 2 weeks apart!
I think they were hanging out together in heaven knowing that their
journey on earth would be close to each other, in time and in distance.
Ridge, being the gentleman that he is,
decided to come to earth a few weeks before Violet.
You know, to test the water and make sure it was safe.

They were destined to be the bestest cousins ever!

Funny thing, this has happened to our families before,
Violet and Ridge both have older sisters that are only 2 days apart!

Kami and Rylie chose to take the plunge together :-)

Memorial Day

On Monday we headed to the mountains for a hike up Grandeur Peak.

The girls were tapped into their "inner nanny goat"
and trotted up the mountain.
Sam said he was a satyr.

Satyr = half man half goat.
(in case you didn't know)

lots of UP...

Here are the kids at the summit of Grandeur Peak over looking the Salt Lake Valley.

(and I am a few hundred feet below, nursing my baby on the side of the trail...in the wind)

Chop, chop...

Last Friday the girls did the unthinkable! They got their hair CHOPPED!
(just for the record, Daddy was not in favor)

Rylie was brave and went first:

Hers turned out the longest out of the 3, and we can still do ponies and piggies.

Sara was 2nd. I had trimmed her hair only once before,
so this was her first official chop!

(I almost cried):

We were shocked by the thickness of her hair, we're talkin' volume baby!!!

And last, but not least, Kaeli took the plunge:

cute and sassy

The girls are officially ready for summer with their new dos!
So long tangles!
