Lydie Bitty Bug

Here are a few random photos of our sweet Lydie Bug:). She has so much personality and definitely knows how to keep us smiling:

My sweet baby loves to say "cheese" and smile for the camera

It amazes me that I can put her in the cart like this and she will stay asleep in Walmart!

I could not get her bar girl mask from Halloween to come off!  She is such a goober!

She loved the tractor at Mema and Papas house

She had moved a paint can to try and open the door to escape:)

Disneyland 2013

We finally were able to take the girls to Disneyland during spring break this last year.  Saying they enjoyed it us definitely an understatement!!!  Grandma and Grandpa came with us and we had an absolute blast!  Brooklee could pretty much ride everything and loved the roller coasters (especially space mountain which she ended up riding 5 times!). The whole trip was a huge success and we can't wait to go again!!!

Lydie turns 1!!!

Here are some pictures of Lydie Bugs first birthday party:). Sam and I were in Nashville for a furniture convention on her actual birthday, so we celebrated as soon as we got back a few days later.

Happy Halloween 2013!!!

I'm totally taking advantage of the fact that I can still get away with dressing the girls the same...I'm so sad to say this will probably be the last year.  I already had to trick Brooklee into it this year:). They were just too darn cute not to:)

Brooklee is 5!!!!

Our baby girl turned 5 today!  I can't believe I have a 5 year old!  Brooklee is the best big sister and a wonderful helper.  She is really in to make up, clothes, and horses:). I know, we are in for it..she is 5 going on 16:). But we love her and are so thankful for her sweet smile and spirit in our home.  We live you Brooklee Paige Curtis!!!!

Random and Allie's 2nd Birthday

My beautiful little girls in their Easter dresses.  I'm pretty sure I have more pics of Easter somewhere, but these are the few that I've found

Allie after church looking for ants...she loves looking for bugs but then says "ew, yucky!"  and squashes them:o)

My cute little Brooklee

 Brooklee loves to take pictures!  Her aunt Julie showed her how to hold the camera to take pics of herself. Auntie Julie is really good at that:o)

Brooklee and Allie getting ready to get into the pool.  They are in the pool pretty much every day

Picture of Allie taken by Brooklee

 Allie's 2nd Birthday!  It was weirdly cold that night and no one came prepared.  I had just boxed up all our winter clothes and had to find them all again!  It was fun though :o)

I made a little personal cake for Allie.  She took a few bites and then was done with it.

Nana and Kasi got Allie a Tangled card and a Mermaid card.  They both play songs and she LOVED them.    They had to have been the top "presents" :o)

Daddy wearing glow in the dark earrings :o)

Papa at Allie's party...I think he had a lot of fun :o)

I am not very good at updating the girls' physical and developmental progress, so I guess I will record some info on Allie, since she just had her second birthday.  Her favorite movie right now is "Free Willy" :o)  and while she was watching it the other day, she told Sam "I love Willy cuz he's my cousin!"  She loves going to nursery and all during sacrament she asks "go to nursery now and play with all my friends?"  Everyone is her friend and cousin:o)  For Primary, we are having the kids memorize their articles of faith.  I started helping Brooklee memorize the first article of faith.  Little did I know that Allie had actually memorized it too!  She totally surprised me one day (a few weeks ago) and said "I do it by myself!" and proceeded to say the whole thing by herself!  It is pretty much the cutest thing ever!  She is so proud of herself.  I have it on video, so I will have to figure out how to post videos on here too.  

San Diego - March 2012

 I'm actually posting to our family blog!  Crazy, I know!  From here on out my posts will be totally random, and definitely not in order of date.  I'm just going to post as soon as I find things that I've missed (which is a heck of a lot!)  Anyway, for spring break in March we went to San Diego with Sam's parents and sister Kasi.  We stayed in the cutest little rental home on Mission Beach and had a lot of fun.  I didn't get too many pictures.  I'm not the best at taking pictures while on vacation, I guess because I'm too distracted by everything else:)  Here are a few:

Here are Papa and Allie at the Mormon Battalion lookout point in Old Town.

Brooklee and Allie loved Sea World.  Here they are with an otter?  

Brooklee, Kasi, and Nana on a ride at Sea World

Allie and Daddy waiting for the ride to start...Allie loved it :o)

Brooklee and Allie with Elmo and Cookie Monster.  It looks like Allie was crying, but she actually really liked them

Brooklee and Allie on the Seal tour.  It is the bus that starts on land and then goes in the water.  The girls loved seeing the seals out on the bay
