Need to take pictures!!!

Ok so I have a goal to take more pictures for the next week... I have too many posts without them and know that people enjoy those more then words sometimes. I also love having pictures around but just haven't been very good at taking them lately.
Everyone is healthy and fine in our house now. Allie had us calling the doctor a couple times and had us have to go back in for strep test and almost got herself a fun trip to the hospital for IV fluids if she would have thrown up one more time but luckily she took the doctor serious and stopped throwing up and got better. She broke out in a rash all over her body for 2 days after her fever broke which was sad because she was constantly itching her face and you could just tell she felt like crap. But we are happy to report she is 100% and we have our happy baby back. I guess this virus is kind of like a cousin to chicken pox and once you get it you are immune but the problem is there are a ton of strands of it now so she could get a different one later. Emmie never got it and we are so happy about that. We were very, very careful with hand washing and not letting Emmie get too close to Allison.
New things with the girls are Allison is pulling up on everything people, the couch, the bath tub, drawers, whatever is in her path she wants to climb on it. The sad part is she is a little too eager and doesn't really have the coordination to stay up and it has made for a ton of bumps. But she gets right back up and does it again anyway. Also she has been a little slow with the solid foods and still only eats stage one foods and doesn't care to go to the next level. However, I think I finally discovered why, she wants to skip it all together. She just wants table foods and what I am eating. She doesn't have teeth so I didn't think she was really ready until I accidentally dropped something on her tray and she grabbed it and popped it in her mouth before I could even get at it. So I think I am just going to start blending the foods we are eating for dinner and just bypassing the other baby foods and see what she thinks of that. She has always loved attention but has been being a little ham lately and loving getting us to laugh at her. She is so funny and will make all sorts of sounds and movements just to get a reaction.
Emmie has been loving the warm weather and playing outside. Everyday when she wakes up she gives me new ideas of what we can do outside, the zoo, park, pool, backyard, you name it, she just wants to play. She has also gotten really good at puzzles and likes putting those together. Not the wooden easy ones, she likes the harder ones. She is also obsessed with Peter Pan and wants it in the DVD player when we are driving anywhere. She has also been telling me all about when she is going to take all of us to Neverland and we are all going to fly around and fight Captain Hook. She is so excited for Allison to get to be a big girl someday that she is trying to help her along a little faster then Allie is ready for and then I like. I have found her numerous times holding Allison in a standing position and trying to drag her along "walking" with her. She loves Allie so much and just wants to play with her but this has been a number one time-out getter lately. She has also graduated to showers instead of baths. She wants to be big just like her cousins so refuses to take baths anymore. She also got called to give her very first talk in Primary this next Sunday. I feel like my little babies are in way too much of a hurry to grow up and I'm not really liking it but it is awesome to see them grow.
I had my birthday last week and thanks family for the gifts and everyone who called. Laurie and kids... we still sing way worse then you and you might want to work on that for next year ;) Darren surprised me with a Bosch which I am so excited about! I have wanted one for a really long time. I need to go get some more flour today and want to try out a bread recipe asap. He has already made us cookies in it that were fabulous (his cookies always are but we'll say the Bosch helped)
The gym that Darren and I go to gives you a free body composition testing and personal trainer visit when you sign up so Darren and I took advantage of those last week and this week. We were both scared to see what the body comps would say (it measures bicep strength, body fat, flexibility and a couple other things) but they didn't turn out too bad so that made us feel a little bit better about ourselves. I met with the personal trainer on Monday and found out that my body is retarded. I talked to him about being a little concerned about never feeling any burn in the back of my legs or butt but always feeling stress on my quads. So we did a couple exercises that were supposed to really work those areas but I felt nothing. So had me lay down and put pressure on my muscles on the back of my legs and I thought I was going to die! I seriously almost kicked him in the face and wanted to cry. He told me that for whatever reason those muscles are tightened and not releasing and so my quads are taking on all the work of my whole leg and the backs aren't working at all. So he had me do some foam rolling and put pressure on the muscles to get them to relax and I again wanted to die. The hope is that I can get the muscles to relax and then retrain my legs to work the way they are supposed to. So yesterday and today I have been walking like a dork but hope that I can learn to do what he showed me better so I can get my leg muscles working right. Darren's personal training session is tonight so we'll see what type of things he can help him with.
That's pretty much us lately so that's all for now folks!
