Smoothies!

Recently Julianna has been super into smoothies, which is fine by me!  I love them too!  They are super easy to make; throw some frozen fruit, frozen yogurt (actual yogurt that's been frozen like yoplait), some juice and some milk in a blender.  Yummy!  Here are some fun shots of her enjoying her daily smoothie!  Oh and side note, often I make too much so I just pour it in ice cube trays and then that's the smoothie for the next day!  Easy Peasy! :)

Like the blueberries in between her teeth? Haha!

Jenna loves them too! :)

Mmmmm so does Mommy.

"Oh how I love smoothies!"

"Get in my belly!"

Thanks for stopping by!

Orcas Island

We just got back from a fun trip to Orcas Island with my family.  Here are a few snapshots:

My sister, Jessica, with her husband and two kids.

her sweet 2 year old, Asher

He is so precious!

Julianna likes driftwood. :)

I love this shot of the two cousins!

and this one...

sweet, funny face!

we kept trying to get a shot of the three of them in their coordinating pjs but they were not cooperating. :)

sweet Ireland, a total mini Jess!

This girl is always eating!

Bainbridge Island

A couple weekends ago we had the chance to go to Bainbridge Island to attend a friend's wedding.  It was so special to be there with them!  We left Julianna behind with my parents and took Jenna along.  It was so fun to just spend time with her!  Here are some shots we took of our time with sweet Jenna:

Here we are down at the marina at a restaurant called, "Docs."  It was great, yummy fish and chips!

On the ferry on the way back (Jenna appears to be a little annoyed with me!) Haha

Thanks for stopping by!  Love you sweet Jenna!

Playtime!

This blog should really be called The life in Pictures of Julianna, right?  There aren't many of Jeff and I and just a few more of Jenna.  Whoops!  I better get better at that or I won't have enough for her first year baby book!  Julianna and I are loving this beautiful weather though!  Here some shots as proof:

 Here we are having donuts on Memorial Day after a service we went to.  Julianna loves her donuts!

 Pool Time in the backyard

 One of many Wiens' bbqs.  Yum!

Thanks for stopping by!

Julianna turns 2!

Here are just a few shots of Julianna's 2nd birthday.  We didn't do anything big; just a backyard BBQ for family.  I can't believe my precious little girl is 2!  Time really does fly!  I never knew it until having kids. But I seriously love every minute of it.

She got so excited when she realized everyone was singing for her!

Last year she wasn't a fan of her cake.  This year she LOVED her cupcakes!  Love you sweet little princess!

Girls on the Run 5k

Here are some pictures of my sweet friend Hannah and I running a 5k recently.  How much do you love our matching braids? :)  Sorry to all the random people who are also in the pictures.  There were so many runners that Hannah and I had to run through sagebrush half the time to get around them.  Can't wait for the next one, Hannah!

Before the race, all smiles (and tatoos!)

So many people, we were tripping over them!

matching french braids!

the final stretch!

At the end, still smiling!  We ran it in about 31 mins.  Not too bad considering we started out so stinkin' slow!  So much fun, Hannah!

Easter

Hmmm. Am I seriously JUST posting pictures from Easter?  Yes, yes I am.  Anyhow, this was Julianna's first time doing an Easter Egg Hunt.  She is so stinkin' cute!  Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for setting it up!

Sweet, sweet Jenna

Fun pics of my sweet little girls.  Love you so much!!

Playdate with the Ericksons

So Jeff and I used to say we wanted to have six kids.  (This was before we actually had any kids.) Last Saturday our dear friends came to hang out for the day and Jeff and I were able to see what it was like to have six kids.  It was so fun; making cookies, playing outside with Josiah, lunch, and going to the park.  But we had a little discussion after that and decided that six is super fun... once in a while.  We are going to stick with 2-4.  Bless you all that have six.  I would love to have that energy!  (Ok spill the beans... What is your secret?)
Here are some of our favorites:

Making cookies

We couldn't get Anders to stop eating the dough!
