okay jojo - here it is!!!!! since she fell and busted her face on her last attempt to walk, which was a little over a month ago, she has REFUSED to even try to walk again --- until today! and here she is, VERY proud of herself!

abby had her first ice cream cone tonight! she LOVED it! i don't think i've had so much fun in a while --- just watching her dive into this baby-sized ice cream cone! it's funny - she's never had one before, but knew exactly how to hold it and eat from it! DANG i have a smart kid!! :-) she's just growing up too fast. not my baby anymore.

here are the newest additions to the snelson household. no names yet. not really sure if they are boy(s) or girl(s). but i guess if we get little tadpoles we'll know, right?!

anyway, they are fire belly toads and i LOVE them!!

some easter pics

this is just to prove that we teach and encourage good personal hygiene in the snelson household.

robert and i went to a concert tonight that Atlanta Temple Band and the Georgia Brass Band put on at at the corps. we were planning on taking abby but our good friends, jonathan and amanda, volunteered to keep her at our house instead. i thought that was a better idea than taking her because a) there was no nursery and b) the concert didn't start until 8. (whoever came up with that brilliant idea obviously has no children!)

anyway, jonathan and amanda stayed here with their 2 and abby. they not only bathed abby and put her to bed, when we walked in, our house was IMMACULATE! amanda had spent the evening CLEANING MY HOUSE!! i was blown away!! i have to say that it's so nice coming home to a really clean house. i mean, i keep my house as clean as i can, but with 3 kids all day, it's hard to be clean like this! half the time i go to bed with some dishes in the sink and a floor that needs to be swept. but NOT TONIGHT!!!!

THANK YOU JONATHAN AND AMANDA! WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
