Easter Pictures

We haven't had any family pictures since Charlotte was born, so this trip we had Matt's parents take a few pictures for us. They turned out cute! When Charlotte is a little older we'll get some professional ones done. It was just so crazy to see a picture of the 4 of us! Very surreal, but very cool. 

I may be biased, but my girls are just beautiful!! I love them more every day. They are my whole world and I am so thankful to be a Mama and to have the great responsibility of raising them. I love my family!

It's A Twistle Easter!

Easter Sunday we planned on going to church at the ward by Matt's Aunt's house... but that plan was thwarted when we arrived only to find out it was the Spanish ward. Matt's response: "At least I can understand it!"

Yeah, we left... at least our intentions were there, right?

When we got home, we found out that Aunt Mar had bought a whole Costco size box of Oreos for us to enjoy. So enjoy we did! Emma got to eat some Oreos with her Poppa, and she loved it!

Oreo face!

After our Oreo binge, we colored some Easter eggs, which Emma thoroughly enjoyed! She got pretty excited when the eggs came out all different colors.

Lil' Alexander got in on the dyeing fun!

Charlotte got bored and decided to do some yoga

The weather was a little colder that day, and I think it also rained a bit off and on. We got Emma's Easter basket ready, and hid all the eggs outside. When it stopped raining, we all went out and watched Emma go on her very own Easter egg hunt. It was too adorable for words! She would get so excited with each egg she saw and shout, "Oh Candy Egg!!" as she picked it up and shook it before putting it in her basket.

Easter babies!

We had a great Easter! Hope you all did too!

Twistle Trip Day 2

Saturday morning we woke up and went to the nearest mall so Grandma Entwistle could buy Emma and Charly and Build-a-Bear for Easter. The weather was gorgeous and warm and sunny and we loved it! 

Emma liked grabbing as many hearts as she could fit in her hand to put into her bunny, and thought it was so cool when they stuffed her bunny with the cotton stuffing. The best part was giving her bunny a bath, mostly because she got to play in it too!

After the mall, we took our tired Emma home for a nap. When she woke up we all got in the swimming pool. It was all Emma could talk about while we were there, she loves to swim! She pronounces it "schwim pool" and would say with so much excitement, "Gook Mommy!! Schwim pool!!" as she pointed outside to the pool. 

Alexander and his Daddy Dan, this little guy could kick up some major waves! 

Sisters <3 Love these two ladies

Cousin Michelle and her hubby Dan with Alexander, cute lil' family!

Charlotte was neither thrilled nor upset about being in the water. I don't think she understood what the big deal was

Family pool picture!

Friday night, Emma had an "incident" with the pool. She stepped too far off a step in the pool, and fell head first into the water. She luckily knew somehow to hold her breath, and was only under the water for a few seconds. I grabbed her by the one leg sticking out of the water, and pulled her out. Seriously terrifying, but I'm so glad she held her breath. I was expecting her to be coughing and spitting out water when I got her out, but she just looked around like, "Woah, that was crazy."

After that, she was a little more hesitant to get off the step and swim with us in the pool. She kept saying, "Mommy, I fall" referring to her fall the day before. We put the floaty swim suit on her and that seemed to help, plus she thought it was pretty cool that she could float in the water by herself. We will definitely be putting her in swimming lessons this year. 

Later that night we took the pups for a walk to a neighborhood school field. I love California. LOVE. Everything is so manicured and beautiful, no matter where you go. The trees are gorgeous, the air is warm and humid, and the sunsets are to die for. 

Emma had so much fun walking Shilo and Max, and even found some "spooky" trees with Grandma. Charlotte couldn't fight the tired, and passed out in Grandpa's arms. 

"Run me, Mommy!" (Emma translation: Run with me!)

Emma and Shilo

This is Daddy at his best. Every walk after this she wanted to crawl... 

We were all pretty tired that night, but sufficiently happy with all that we did. It was a great day in Cali!
