Hannah's milestone

She rolls over! And I might add, she does it much faster now than in this video. So cute! BTW, Natalie is saying "take picture" in the background in case you're wondering.

The mission call

Devin is going to Detroit, Michigan on his mission! He leaves May 27th for the MTC in Provo, UT. He will be serving for two years as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so excited for him!

Recent stuff

My twinners. The first time they have dressed alike. You can't see it, but Natalie's shirt says "I'm the big sister" and Hannah's says "I'm the little sister."
What I found when I investigated the sudden quietness.


My green dinner for St. Paddy's day. The recipe on the left is from Giada on the Food Network. Delicious, healthy, and fast. I recommend it. I happened to use green noodles for the occasion.
My little virtuoso.
I dyed some pasta noodles to play with. She liked putting these large green ones on her fingers and gluing the others to paper. Sorting would also be a good activity with these, but she has little interest in sorting. Just put the dry noodles in a baggie with some food coloring (I used the regular grocery store stuff) and rubbing alcohol and mix it around every so often. It took about a day for these to be dyed to this intensity. Fun and cheap craft!
Natalie and Brooklyn love to play in the sink. It gets them soaking wet though which is why they are only in their diapers.
There. I think I'm caught up. See more posts below!

Motivation to practice

A couple of weeks ago I went to see James Galway in concert. He is an internationally renowned flutist who is known as "The Man with the Golden Flute." It was amazing, let me tell you. I was re-inspired to practice as well as reminded that I did indeed choose the best instrument out there!

Hannah is growing

Here are some recent pics of Hannah. As you can see, she is growing out of newborn-land!

Our little D-backs fan!

Her feet are her new favorite toys.

Ever wonder...

...what the world looks like from the point of view of a toddler? Well, now you know.

Learning about the world

A conversation I had with Natalie today:

N: Mommy, come sit down. Natalie be your teacher.
Me: [sitting down] What are you going to teach me?
N: About being in the world.
Me: Ok, teach me about being in the world.
N: First, you wake up.
Me: Ok, then what?
N: Then you go to the moon.
Me: The moon? Then what?
N: Then you find Santa Claus!
