Lately...

Pictures speak louder than words, right? Here is what we've been doing lately:

I've been trying to be crafty again. Pinspiration.

Don Don's birthday

 Great-Grand Stout and Lylah

New swimming suits and sunglasses!

Going on a walk. They're very chic.

 Random ones of Lucy: Posing, cute Easter hair, playing candyland, Easter egg hunt.

My grandpa made that tiny chair for my mom, and now Lylah sits in it! So cute!

Last day of Kindermusik until the fall. Lucy was so sad. 

Ly-Ly would be happy to sit in a swing all day long. 

Yup. We have a walker.

Lucy and Lylah's favorite game is to get in this little booster seat and have Uncle Mark fly them around. Mark left for OK for the summer, so we've been sending him pictures of them waiting for him to come back. :)

Lucy got her hair trimmed by Aunt Kara. She LOVED it!

Lylah helping to bake. Lucy being a bride. 

My mom was in charge of a huge service project at the BYU Women's Conference. We got to help out. It was such an awesome experience!

Uncle Don Don in his play (he was an Oompa Loompa). How ever you spell that.  

Family party

Since the girls birthdays are so close together, we did a big family party for both of them. I've been planning it since we moved into our new house, and it went perfectly! We had a lot of guests--those girls are so loved! Grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. 

Here is the food (okay, dessert) table:

 Closer up:

The cake. Oh my goodness. A friend of mine from high school is (obviously) a very talented cake maker. We did a trade for family pictures. Soooo worth it!  Contact me if you want her number. :)

 Cake pops (also made by my friend). Homemade candy dots, made by myself. :) Turns out, these were the biggest hit. Will totally make these again. Find the recipe here. 

 Can't go wrong with peeps dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. 

 Cake again. LOVE.

 Mother goose popcorn. 

 Veggies. Should have specified that these were for eating, not just for looks. 

 Cute straws. These and the giant birthday balloons can be found here. 

 Cake again. You know you want to see it. :)

The girls also got spoiled with presents. They were so excited!

       

  

 I didn't have the heart to cut the cake at this party, so we put candles in cake pops. :) Sang to Lylah first.

 Then we sang to Lucy:

 Lylah was very happy to sit in the high chair and pig out. 

 Lucy with Grandma-Great

 Lylah and Great Grandpa, looking concerned.

 Lucy and Ellie at the end of the party. :)

I'd say the day was a success. Love my little ladies!!
