The Answers!

So I just thought I'd post which picture was who!! Thanks for all the guesses!
The newborn pics I think were too easy, cause everyone who guessed, guessed right. They were, from top to bottom, Hannah, Lillian and Sophia.
The bath towel pics, only one person got them right! From top to bottom it is Lillian, Sophia and Hannah.
It's crazy how fast they grow up!!

Can You Figure it Out?!

One of the biggest comments we get about our three girls is how they all look alike!! When Sophia was born, we thought she was a little bit different looking from the other two. When we look back at pictures though, sometimes they are a little hard to tell apart!! The cool Google face feature even has a tough time telling who is who!! So, what do you think? Are these pictures of the same babies, or if they are different, can you tell which one would be Hannah or Lillian or Sophia?






How about with these cute bath towel ones? Can you tell who is who?










Let me know what you think! And I can let you know who is who!:)

More teeth loosing adventures!

So, this actually happened a couple of months ago, but I just never got around to blogging about it!
I'm not sure why, but it seems like loosing teeth for Hannah, so far, has been kind of dramatic. And this last time was no exception! We were at a friends house, and the have a ledge upstairs where you can look over it and see the downstairs. Kids love to play here! Hannah was peeking over the ledge, and holding herself up, and some how slipped and banged her teeth right into the ledge!! She was not a happy camper!!! She was bleeding and crying. I felt bad for her! We called her dentist though, and they said it should be ok, and that her teeth were probably close to coming out if hitting made them that loose. So after she calmed down, we took her home, and blessedly one of the teeth fell out while Bill was reading to her before bed. The other tooth was super loose, but we just left it alone! Then about a week later, while we were in MI, I pulled Hannah's shirt off so she could hop in the bath, and randomly the other one fell out too! Hannah was an early teether, and they say if you get them early, you tend to loose them early! She has now lost 6 teeth at only 5 years old and has another loose one now! I hope the rest of them just some how come out easier than her first ones have!

Dance Camp

This past week Bill has had another week of Mandatory unpaid leave, so we decided to sign the girls up for a dance camp, since he would be around to help get them too and from! The girls LOVED it!! It was for 4 days, 2 hours a day, and was through Spirited Feet. They learned dances, and had story time, craft time, and snack time. On the last day, the last 15 minutes of the time, they performed the dances they had learned! It was so fun to go see!! Hannah did a wonderful job, was serious about getting the moves right, but also was having fun!! Lillian was cute! She new most of the moves, but got distracted by the fact that there were people watching her! I was so glad we were able to do this for them!

Fun Shirts!

I actually bought these shirts for the girls when we were in FL, almost 3 years ago! They were really cute, and I figured that the would eventually grow into them!! And finally they have! Hannah's says, "I'm the bit sister." And Lillian's says, "I'm the little sister."

the Carnival

West St. Paul days was this past weekend! It's funny, cause the carnival ends up being so close to our place! The girls can see when the trucks arrive, and slowly see as they set up the rides, and see when the rides start to go! For several days they asked, "when is it going start?!" And, "can we go on the rides?!" This year was fun cause my mom was here the same weekend! And, she said she wanted to take the girls to the carnival!

Here is Bill and girls on the slide

This is my mom on the train with the girls!

And here is Lillian fishing!
We had a fun time! We could walk there, and didn't have to stay long! And, we also got some cheese curds....Yum!
There also was a parade! This is always fun for the girls! They love catching candy! This year it was a little chilly, and windy!! But fun just the same!

Lipstick eggs

This is just a picture of the girls having fun with lipstick eggs, or a.k.a., robins whopper eggs. Blue works the best! I even had fun with it, but didn't think a picture was necessary:)

Matching Easter dresses!

We had a nice Easter this year! Pretty laid back and restful! The girls were really excited to wear their dresses this year! They picked out matching ones, so that was pretty cool!

New Beds!

The other week the girls were blessed to get some new bunk beds from the Moore's! It was fun for Tom to bring the stuff over, and then watch him and Bill put the bed together. And then to see how much the girls enjoyed them! Thank you Moore family!!!
Here is what their beds used to be!

Lilly is a goose!

When Hannah grew out of her crib, she went to a toddler bed. This time when Lillian grew out of the crib, she got to go straight to a twin! She's a peanut in the new bed!

Putting them together

These are some pics of getting the beds together.

The Bunk Beds

This is what they look like finished!

More Lillian pictures

This is the crown that Lillian got from the Y on her birthday. And yes, that is broccoli on her plate, and yes, she does eat it!



This is Lillian blowing out the candles on her birthday that were on top of her birthday blizzard!


And this is just to show that the balloon Lillian got from my brother was pretty much life size for her!

Lillian turned 3!

So the other day Lillian turned 3! It's crazy that my baby girl is that old! A couple of weekends ago my parents came down and we were able to celebrate. It was a lot of fun! Lillian wanted to make sure that Dora was incorporated in the celebration. And, her one request to us this year was that she wanted a pink bike! She is a peanut, but I am happy to say that she has moved up to the 12 percentile for weight!
This was the cake that I made for her....
This is Lilly with her balloons. My brother David got her the big Dora one!


And this is Lillian on her pink bike!


Congrats on turning 3 Lillian:)

Matching shirts?!

This just shows how differently the girls have grown according to the size of their clothes! Hannah has always been ahead, like she is five, but mostly wears size 6. Lillian has been behind! She should be 3T, but is still mostly 2T, and even wears a couple pairs of pants that are 24M! My mom wanted to get that something that matched, but they are in different sections of clothing! They both saw this shirt that they really liked though. So, we got Hannah 6x, which fit her perfectly! And also looked really nice with her brown leggings. And, we got Lillian 4x, and lo and behold, she can wear it as a dress with tights! It worked out nicely:) (Bill didn't even realize it wasn't a dress!, but maybe that's because he's a guy?!)

Brrrrrr......

You know it's been cold out when this is how Lillian prepares to go outside!

Hannah being creative

The other day Hannah came up to me with a paper bag and said, "can I make something out of this?" I said sure. And so she made a paper bag costume thing for both her and Lillian, and then they each decorated their own.

Uncle Dave's Christmas Gift

So, my brother went kind of crazy with his gift for the girls this year and bought them a Dora Ball pit! They love it, and convinced my brother to blow it up for them while they were at my parents house. They were sad when we had to pack it up. It is away for now, cause we only have a little room for it in the basement! And now it is way too cold to play down there! So they will have to wait until spring to play with it again. Thanks Uncle Dave!

A first for Lillian!

On Saturday afternoon we got to take Lillian to her first movie at a movie theater! We all went at saw The Tale of Despereaux. It was a pretty good movie! I'm not usually big on movies about mice and rats, but this was OK. It was all about heroism and truth and being noble. And both girls enjoyed it. It was fun to see Lillian sit in her booster seat eating popcorn and watching the huge screen! She is growing up!

Princess nightgowns!

Here are the girls in their pretty princess nightgowns that they got for Christmas!

Hair cut and a bang trim

Hannah said she wanted her hair cut, so I said OK! She said she wanted quite a bit off, and I wasn't so sure, but after asking her a couple of times, she said, "just do it!" So I did!


This is both of the girls before their hair cuts.
This is Hannah after! I took off at least two inches!

Lillian just needed a bang trim. She hasn't gotten her hair cut yet. I am trying to hold out until she is three, which is what we did for Hannah

This is Lillian after her bang trim:)
