So, I had quite possibly the best birthday ever yesterday. I was spending some good quality girl time with my three favorite little girls, the sun was shining, the birds were chirping....so what do we do...PUDDLE JUMPING! We strapped on our gloashes, grabbed some snacks and headed down the driveway towards the puddles. BIG, JUICY, DIRTY, MUDDY PUDDLES!
And the raddest part was that I just got a G9 Cannon (yes, yes...I know...Cannon) point-and-shoot-ish camera this weekend. It is a fully manual, raw-shooting piece of wonderment...I really really like it. So I was able to not only take some killer photos but I also made some movies as well just to show Mom and Dad just how much giggling we did. I just love getting muddy!

We got muddy and we had fun!

......or should I say Ms. Helby and Ms. Hadie!!! Sadie doesn't say her "s" for her or her sisters name so all afternoon I was hearing "Momma....can I hold Helby??? Mommmmm, can I hold Helby???" I was stinkin cute.
Shelby turned 3 months old a few weeks ago when I got to go visit and Sadie is on the brink of turning 3 years old and is the best big sister that Shelby can ask for. They both looove the camera, which makes my job easy, and are way fun to play with.
Sadie was beaming for the camera...I am tellin' ya...she LOVED it! :)

I told you that Shelby was a peanut....she is BEAUTIFUL and full of smiles!
She was Ms. giggle pants for quite some time while we were playing together! Ohhh soooo darn cute!
And then Sadie and I got a little silly and started jumping on the bed together. It was a BLAST!
I couldn't get over how many cute little rolls that Shelby had.....I mean....look at them. Don't you just want to cuddle her, hold her and give her kisses....well I did! :)
And don't you just LOVE Sadie's eyes in this one???
We were searching for butterflies outside...and of course in the dead of winter in Wisconsin...no butterflies in sight. Maybe next time........

On Saturday I showed up at the Erickson's home looking to find Samuel and Micaiah but instead I was greeted by 2 cowboys and their horses (and some robots too....but they really only participated for a short time! :) I was given horse roping lessons, finding and shooting a bear lessons and of course how to tie up your horse so it doesn't run away lessons. And their little sister, Gracie, even got to sit on a horse for a few seconds before she was booted off so the horse could go find the next mean man.
We had so much fun and I didn't realize how fast time can fly when you are roaming around the house on your horse trying to find the "bad man" and the "mean bear"! Whew....I think we did catch both of them though (although I am not quite sure because the "shooting" was still going on while I was leaving)...

And Micaiah had to find the PERFECT spot for his gun....tucked into his pants of course! :)
And Gracie did get a chance on the horse for just a few seconds before she was booted off by her big brothers...
The face that Samuel is making is sooo funny to me...this one may be my fave from the day!
Thanks for the cowboy lessons boys!

Thanks for spending some time catching the kids in action...they spend time almost everyday in their cowboy get-ups and are always ready to catch a bear. You do an incredible job capturing the moments that we will always be able to cherish. We love you!

So, today we were among MANY others at the Perfect Wedding show fair at the IMS building. We were a small but busy and funnest booth around!!!
It was complete with a barrel full of pink blow-up poodles names Fifi (more to come on that later) and the MOST PERFECT flowers from Ginger Floral design (which we got MANY compliments on because Melissa is the raddest!!!)
Word up to all you new Emily Steffen Brides...this year is going to be a good one! :)
