My Princesses

Bree loves to dress up. Her favorite is to become a princess. Well on one visit to Gma/Gpa Olson's house, both she and Kyla dressed up. Kyla has really not shown much interest at home for dressing up but apparently she was in the mood this time. They are surveying their kingdom and Kyla even looks as though she is decreeing something from the throne in the picture on the bottom right. If nothing else, these two do have rule over something, our hearts.

Memorial Day "Baby Soiree"

We had the 2nd annual Memorial Day "Baby Soiree" (Baby Party) in our backyard this year. Next year we are going to have to change the name, maybe "Toddler Soiree". Anyway, everyone seemed to have a great time. We had 8 adults and 8 toddlers.

Milwaukee Zoo Trip

We went to the Zoo on May 19-20. The kids had a great time even though the temperature barley reached into the 50's. I think we are paying for it now though with colds running through the family. The kids really didn't get very sick though so it was a blessing. Bree really enjoyed the night in the hotel pool too. It was the first time she was in a pool and loved it. They had their life vests on most of the time but we took them off near the end to see what they would do. Kyla is a real fish and already has the motions down. Bree did well too. The zoo was exciting. Seeing all the animals close up, the ones that weren't hiding from the cold, was very impressive. The train was one of the most important things that Bree wanted to see/ride. The family shots above are on the train ride. They also had fun at the petting zoo. Grandpa also had a good time as shown in the pictures. The drive went pretty well. Portable DVD players are wonderful. This is probably going to become an annual event.
