Our afternoon at the Zoo

Aunt Sandie bribbed us this week, if we did our chores then she would take us to the zoo
Here are some of our favorite pictures

Two Turkey's found the 2 Turkey's!

Check out all the animals we saw

We had sooo much Fun ... Brenna couldn't even stay awake

* Side note:

Brenna's funny for the day, she really wanted to ride the train. I kept trying to distract her from it, by giving a ton of excuses why we didn't need to ride it. She said she was tired of walking and needed to ride the train to feel better. I told her that the train didn't really go anywhere, it just went in a circle. "But a circle is my favorite shape", only Brenna.

LIVE!

Abby & Brenna have amazing imaginations and this afternoon, they were "pretending" to be two of their favorite Food Network stars... Rachael Ray & Giada (thanks to Aunt Janna whom they watch it with). We were in hysterics watching them, so we had to video them and their frist cooking show ever! I really do love their imaginations and how creative they are!

sisterly love

I've often said that my girls play really well together and they fight even better, but here is proof that they do love each other. Abby has been learning how to read at school and being that they are only 15 months (and 1 day) apart in age... Brenna is always wanting to do exactly what Abby is doing. I just thought it was so cute watching Abby help Brenna sound out the words and assist her in learning how to read.

HANNAH MONTANA!

The big news/birthday present for Brenna was going to the Hannah Montana 3D concert up at the IMAX theater! I think I hoped that my girls would have been fooled by the concert on screen vs. the real thing and I should have known better. They for sure loved it, but both of them made comments that they now want to go to the real Hannah Montana concert... not the movie one. Too bad I wasn't one of the lucky ones to get tickets in the first 4 minutes before being sold out, and too bad I'm not insane enough to spend the top dollar amount of $2500 for tickets to the SLC show a few months ago. Maybe one day...

It was really well done and seeing a movie in 3D again (last one I remember seeing was Captain E O @ Disneyland... sad!) was really cool! I was told that the theater was sold out, but it was anything but that. We laughed at 2 girls and 2 MOMS who were in full Hannah Montana gear holding posters and dancing the whole time! They were a riot!

Okay- so here's the video of Brenna when I told her. The excitement elevated after I turned off the video of course, but this still makes me laugh:

(if the video doesn't work- click on the link. I'm kind of retarted at making these things work.)

This was her excited screaming face!

Waiting in the lobby to go in!

They've updated 3D glasses (since the red and blue ones) and had an insane fan who drove 10 hours in a snow storm to come to this "movie" take our picture!

This makes me laugh because they were both sitting so patiently waiting through the previews, but look so bored! It just wasn't show time yet, so I'm sure they really were bored.

Our First Mini-Manicure!

We keep forgetting to post what we did a few weeks ago. (Aunt Sandie has been a little busy and forgot to send us the pictures).

Anyways.... Aunt Sandie had a free Saturday and decided that we needed a break from Mommy and Grandma (haha), and took us to lunch at The Trolley.... and guess what they let us sit in the Trolley, we were sooo cool.
Then after lunch we had some time to waste until Mommy and Grandma were done running their errands so Sandie went past her pedicure place and asked if they had time to do our nails.... WOOOHOOO!!! We were soooo excited!! They painted both of our nails a pretty pink and even put a flower on our thumbs..... we're so cool. We wanted to get our toes painted too, but they were kinda busy so we'll have to go back when it gets warmer. We both loved it... we can get used to this! "Our Aunt Sandie is the coolest aunt ever" .... (this is a direct quote - no bribes were made) - lol!

Happy Birthday Mom!

The Best Christmas Ever!

Abby and Brenna scored big time this year and we thought we'd share some of the fun things they did and got this year. We had such a nice holiday... nobody was fighting, the TV was off all day, the weather was perfect for Christmas which means lots of snow and all in all it was a fabulous day!

Waiting patiently to open presents!

Abby's cute surprised face while opening a present!

This is what I consider to be the best christmas present face EVER!
The best part is that they're Hannah Montana socks- YES!

And they both got guitars from their dad... now the Hannah concerts can even be more real!

Uncle Dennis got his 4-wheelers out and took all the kids for lots of rides around the neighborhood... they had a blast!

Michelle brought one of her family traditions to us this year since they now live in Utah and the kids loved it! They rolled a ball wrapped in crepe paper and full of treats! It made for pretty floor decorations too- thanks Michelle!
