Easter Cookies

I decided I wanted to make Easter Cookies with the girls and invited Clay and Josh to join in the fun. They had a blast. I found this recipe on All Recipes for sugar cookies. It was great except I made it the day before and put it in the refrigerator, when we were ready to make the cookies the dough was a little dry and crumbled. Thanks to Gary we revived the dough by adding a little water and it softened up. Presley had flour all over her as well as Brooke. Clay and Josh were a little neater with their rolling of the dough. The cookies looked great for first time efforts and for their age. What do you think? I might have to make this a yearly fun time event. I think it would be fun to post it every year and see how they have improved. It was such a joy to watch them roll out the dough and put the icing and the sprinkles on their cookies. Presley loves "Prinkles," as she would say. She was very upset when I put the sprinkles up, can you say temper tantrum. That is exactly what she did. Rita informed me that she has figured out 3 1/2 is the age when things get better. Not that I want time to move fast but definitely bring on the better and easier days. It was a good family fun time had by all. I have more pictures to post but will post those tomorrow. Happy Sunday!

Little Miss Presley

I took these photos on Monday night while Brooke was at swim lessons. Presley didn't go because she had a rash all over her back and it was moving around to the front. I took her to the doctor and he said it was probably from laundry detergent. He gave me a Rx for a cream. We had a ball, just the two of us. Presley loves to pick leaves and flowers. She will bring the leaves to me or put them in her bucket or on her picnic table. She will even slide with a handful of leaves. She is too funny. I have to tell you she finally can slide down the slide the right way. We don't have to help her any longer. She knows it too because when she slides she is all smiles and when she reaches the bottom she smiles even bigger and gives a little laugh. Cutie Patootie!!!

Trouble x 2

My sweet Presley is crawling all over now and getting into trouble as you can see with the blinds. I guess I will have to keep them up slightly so she cannot get to them. My house looks like a maze with all the gates and stuff up. It's much easier to keep it all put up with two crawling around and getting into everything. Hmmm, maybe I'll lose some weight chasing them around, one could only hope. Speaking of weight I started Weight Watcher's last week and I weighed myself this morning and lost four pounds. Yahoo! I have to stay with it because I am tired of this baby weight. The hardest part is drinking all the water because I have to use the bathroom more and with the girls crawling around I have to make it quick or they get into things or fall and bump their sweet little heads. I know TMI, but it's true!

Posing Again

Okay, I had to show this picture because little Presley is posing again. She does this all the time.
I think it is so cute. The other picture wasn't very good of her so I had to add this one to even out the bad. Bye for now.

Little Miss Presley

Miss Presley is already into things as you can see from the photos. She lifted herself up for the first time on the fireplace. Things are really happening fast these days. Poor Brooke is having a bad allergy day.

Strike a Pose

Presley loves to lay like this and usually has her leg moving up and down. That girl is such a ham. She is getting up on all fours and will be crawling before too long.

She is also a rolling machine. She rolls all over the living room. She has the happiest disposition and always has a smile on her face. Her newest thing is opening her mouth really wide with no sound coming out of her mouth, her daddy and I laugh and tell her to close her mouth or a fly will get in her mouth. She is my "Sweet P."
