My back yard this morning

My guess is that there won't be anyone playing golf today (we live on the 13th hole). I had my girls in an inflatable pool on Sunday because it was 80 degrees. Crazy desert weather!

Jelly Belly Factory

Ferris wheel ride

This is at Scheels, which is the largest sporting goods store in the world apparently. There is a full size ferris wheel inside, so we went for a ride. I asked Eliana to smile and this is what I got.

Sisters

 

The golf course opened today and the girls were checking out the action on the 13th hole this morning.

Isabela is 1

She woke up with major bed head. I love it.

 

A little help from big sis...

 

...and big brother.

 

 

Happy Birthday John

Weeks ago he told me it would be cool if his dad and I woke him up on his birthday by spraying him with silly string...

so we did.

 

 

 

 

Once he figured out what was going on, he loved it!

Cupcakes

John's school cupcakes: I fell asleep before frosting them, so I found myself holding my breath at 2AM, hoping that the mixer didn't wake anyone. It did not. :)

Jedi

John is a huge Star Wars fan, so I couldn't resist when I saw this license plate today.

So sweet

Eliana snuggled up to John this morning while he was playing his DS. I love sweet moments like this.

Eliana is 3

 

 

 

 

Eliana's new bike

Helping Daddy.

 

Isabela wanted to help too.

 

Yay!

 

She loves her new princess bike.

 

Birthday Month at the Baronas

Isabela will be 1, Eliana will be 3, and John will be 7...all in the same month.

Croup

 

 

Isabela had a runny nose all week, but hadn't seemed to develop the cough her brother and sister have....or at least we thought. She woke up this evening with a cough that sounded like a barking seal. After a quick call to the nurse hotline, we were on our way to the ER. They gave her a breathing treatment and steroids and said she should be better in about 5 days. This is my first child to have croup, and I must say that it is not a sound you want to hear coming from your baby. :(

DS and Dora

What more does a girl need? Besides a sweet headband maybe.

Utah

Eliana and Ava sharing a snack.

 

John and Anna playing an intense game of Mario Kart.

 

Uncle T and John.

 

Uncle T and Eliana.

 

Terry and the babies

 

It Has Been a While...

...so in case you forgot what my kids look like, here you go (Ashley).

 

Isabela has 2 teeth on top and she looks so cute!

 

I want watermelon!

Eliana set her eyes on a watermelon at the store...and that was our dessert tonight. :) Isabela enjoyed her first ride sitting in the actual cart today.

Snow Day

I got the call at 5:52am - no school today because of the snow. It is also trash day, so after I brought our trash can to what I believe is the curb, I took a couple of pictures.
