I love my little girls.

So I just read a blog of memories of a little boy that died last year. I don't even know this family it was just a link I clicked on... needless to say I just spent the last ten minutes crying like I haven't cried in a long time. That blog inspired me to be a better mother and enjoy my girls and the crazy things they do.
I love my little girls. They are so happy and cute.

Carlie is so smart and loving. She always wants to help me cook or clean or take care of Sarah Jane. She will often give Sarah Jane a hug and say "I'm so proud of you Sarah Jane Sue". She will just come sit on my lap and say "I love you Mom". Carlie has been on a kick about colors. She asks us all the time what our favorite color is then she will tell us her favorite color which is usually the color of the shirt she's wearing, although blue seems to come up quite often. Last Sunday Carlie passed off her first Article of Faith, she has to say it for the Bishop and then he gives her a candy. She was so happy! He challenged her to memorize the second by the next week and I made some remark about how transgression was a big word but we would work on it. Well, yesterday she passed off the second one! I am so proud of her, she is such a smart little girl!

Sarah Jane is growing up so fast. She is so happy and smiling all the time. She loves to play in the bathroom or get into the cupboards in the kitchen. She loves Carlie and gets so bored when Carlie is taking a nap. We just recently got a van and she is loving it. The Neon was so small and had such small windows and now she is just content to stare out the window at any and everything. She makes getting up in the morning, for me, a good experience. She is soooo excited to see me walk through the door she starts laughing! Then she busts up when she sees Carlie. Sarah Jane is such a sweet baby and makes life fun! She is learning One Little Monkey! I will have to post a video on here, she is just too cute!

WARM WEATHER!

Gus took Carlie on a Motorcycle ride around the block. It was such a nice warm day... warm weather makes me a happy person!
Carlie loves to go on rides with her Dad. She even has her own helmet... well maybe it's a little too big.
There they go.
We have gotten Spring Fever with the nice weather so we have been cleaning out the garage this week and it is looking so much better! Sarah Jane is loving the warm weather too! I think it's time to get Carlie a bigger bike!
Carlie is a good little girl. Lately her thing is to come give me a hug and tell me she loves me! It is so sweet and sincere. She is growing up so much.

Sarah Jane

Loves to get stuck under the stools!
Loves licorice!
I don't know if she got any in her mouth. She loves Carlie too!
Loves to talk to herself in the trash can!

Sarah Jane is almost ten months and crawls, climbs, and is trying to walk. She is such a blessing in our lives. She is a very happy baby and only cries when she's tired or when Carlie is bugging her. She is sweet and beautiful. I love Sarah Jane!

Carlie Carlie

I'm not a big contributor to our blog. I usually leave that for Carolee to do. Carlie just said some funny things today so I thought I'd try doing this blog thing. When Carlie says the pray it usually consists of blessing the food or blessing her to sleep good or blessing Daddy while he's at work. Well today this is how it went, "...thank you for this day. Bless the food so it can sleep good at work..." I admit that I opened my eyes and looked at Carolee and she was doing the same. Also, when she needs to go to the bathroom #1 or #2 she'll put her hand on her bum and say, "Oh no!, my poop is coming, my poop is coming."
