Cutest Swimmers!

This winter, I discovered Kortni Jeane Swimmers on Instagram. They are quite possibly the CUTEST swim suits I've ever seen! So stylish and fun with a vintage twist. The high waisted bottoms are delightfully modest so the girls can jump and splash and play. The peplum top has a slight "tutu" which, of course, is Lulu's favorite. Vivi and Lulu have been in love with the suits ever since they first put them on. And now that the weather is FINALLY warmer, they may never take them off! So far this week we have run through the sprinklers, hung out and eaten popsicles, gone fishing, and swam in the lake... all in their Kortni Jeane mini swimmers. I have a feeling this schedule will be on repeat all summer long!

This post is in partnership with Kortni Jeane, all opinions (and super cute baby models) are our own!

Sprinkles Cupcakes

Alas, we have come to the end of the vacation photos. I'm sure I'll be frequenting my own blog just to relive these sunny happy memories on the beach. The weather has been glorious here in Minnesota the last few days, but March blizzards aren't uncommon so who knows if we've officially made it to spring. One thing is for sure, winter can't last forever!

When we were in Florida, we spend a lot of time with Brian's cousin. Her boyfriend knows how much she loves Sprinkles ATM cupcakes, so he brought several back from the  L.A location. Leighanne generously gave a couple to the girls as a surprise on our last day at the beach. The girls LOVE Leighanne! And they love the beach. And they love cupcakes. So pretty sure they were in 2 & 3 year old heaven! Pretty sure I was in mommy photographer heaven too haha. I tagged Sprinkles Cupcakes on the Instagram photo and they sent me a message saying they loved the pic are going to repost it on their website sometime in the next several weeks. So fun! Needless to say, it was the perfect ending to a super fun vacation!

Pool Time

Uncle Ray's place has a fantastic heated pool. Who would have thought we'd need a heated pool in Florida?? The first few days we were there, it was only in the 60ºs, which is of course is warmer than here, but still a bit chilly. Vivi loves swimming, but is cautious and either hangs but the edge or clutching her floaty. Lulu is wildly reckless and takes flying leaps off the edge, loves to hold her breath and go underwater and had no problem swimming (more like being pushed) between me and Papa. Edith seems to be another little fishy. She loves to wiggle and float in the water. She was so happy and adorable and as soon as we left the water she was not happy. Probably because it was so windy and cold haha. Love these beauties!
