She knows how to get what she wants

Happy Anniversary!

I really can't believe we've been married for 4 years today! It's amazing how much has happened since we met in Provo. I'm so grateful for such a great husband, we have made so many great memories over the years. Dan got us tickets to see Tim Mcgraw & Faith Hill in concert on Monday, it should be a lot of fun. Love you, Dan!

Here are some video clips of the girls

Now I just need to get beds, mattresses & paint. There are so many things to get, it really adds up, especially when you have to get 2 of everything! Thankfully we have time before we need everything, since Eliška is still in her toddler bed and Emma's still in the crib. I like this bed from Jc Penney & it's the best price I've seen. I still am contemplating bunk beds.

Cute Kids

Here are the latest pictures of the kids...

Zoo Regulars

We got season passes, so here are more pictures of us at the zoo & some video clips...

Okay, you're really going to make fun of me!

As some of you know, I tend to be a bit of a "home body". So, today was the first time I have ever gone shopping with both girls alone! I have been putting it off because I have been really nervous. Plus Dan gets home at 3:30, so we usually just all go together or I go by myself after the girls are asleep. So I decided it was finally time today. We went to the local supermarket and I was very surprised at how smoothly things went. The girls had a blast sitting next to each other in the "car" cart with a double steering wheel. Usually we have Eliška in the "car" cart and Emma in the front of the basket. They tore through my purse, which was a big treat for them. They took out all my credit cards, sunglasses, chapstick, keys, and cellphone (which Emma drooled on & now doesn't seem to work!). It created an hour of entertainment for them both. There were no tantrums, no crying, and no begging to buy a toy or a candy. I think I will definitely be going out more with them, now that I've tested the waters! I will post new pictures soon, we have been busy gardening and finishing up our landscaping.
