Sickie poos

We have all been sick the past week :( Coughing like crazy, and Eva has had a river of snot running down her face for days. We have spent most days in our jammies trying to get over this stupid bug. Today I feel semi-normal. But the most exciting news of the week is that I got a new camera! ( I should say MY most exciting news...my niece just found out she is having a SECOND set of TWINS! YAY!) So here are some pictures of my sickie poos taken with my new love, I mean new camera. I hope to learn how to use it really well so you can see my progress!

Envy (just because I am post happy tonight)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Click on the picture to make it bigger!)

Wait, how did they get that picture of me?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Attack of the giant chocolate bunnies!

My mom keeps my house decorated for practially every holiday you could think of (THANKS MOM! :)) A few years ago she sent me some bunnies that look like real chocolate bunnies-they are so cute! We broke them out already this year-Mallina loves them, Eva was just introduced to them and wasn't too sure about them at first...
Eva says "Mama? Are you seeing this?"

"Mallina! Look at THAT one!"
Mallina says, "No Eva, these aren't for eating!"
Mallina loves the bunnies!

Little Miss Magorium

Tonight after the bath, I was trying to dry Eva's hair and it started fluffing out on me. This is what she looked like...



I started laughing when this image suddenly came into my head...



And just because Mallina looked so cute today, here is a picture of me trying to get her to smile at the camera...

Bed Head

My girls have the craziest hair. Mallina especially. She takes her bath at night and goes to sleep with her hair a little bit damp. When she wakes up in the morning she has this crazy woobie curl in the top of her hair. It cracks me up every morning. Eva, on the other hand has such curly hair that it can be kind of crazy throughout the entire day! Here are some pics of the girls with their funny hair.

Karla? Inoke? Come see us?

This is what I heard for about a week when I told Mallina our good friends were coming to visit us from Hawaii. Karla is one of my best friends and I love her tons, and I have been missing her since we moved. They came to see The Rugby Sevens Tournament in San Diego, visit family in freezing cold Utah, and to check out things here in Arizona. I am doing my best to convince them that this is the place to live. We spent the weekend looking at model homes-it was so fun! Karla is like Mallina's second mom so they had really been missing each other!

Here we are at Denny's (sorry about your closed eyes in this shot Karla, it was too cute not to post!) Mallina and Inoke were talking on the pone:

I love that she has a hand motion going on in this one.


We put the girls in Karla and Inoke's rental car so we could go around on Friday without Ieli. I had Eva's seat in rear facing at first, but it just wasn't really working-Inoke is so tall that he was being squished by her seat! It was the first time for Eva to face forward! (She is backwards again in our car now, we are ERFer's here!)


Mallina with Karla's glasses on.

So, Karla, Inoke, we expect to see you SOON! We miss you already. :)

Dresses

One of the best things about having girls is getting to buy clothes for them and dress them everyday. Shopping is very dangerous for me, but not quite as dangerous as for my mom. I have a closet FULL of gorgeous dresses that she has bought for Mallina over the past 2 1/2 years. This Christmas was the best (or probably the worst to hear it from my sissy Aly :)) We got FIVE different options! It is so fun to get ready for church and of course to hear all of the comments about how cute they are. Thanks Grandma Judy! Without you my kids just wouldn't be as cutely dressed as they are. Here are three of the dresses my girls got this Christmas from my mom:

Mallina with that darn paci:
After I ripped the paci out for a picture:


The plaid ones are DARLING!


And the pretty green ones! For some reason people keep asking me if I made them ...? What? (Sorry these pictures aren't the greatest.
