Flower Power

A Pirate Paradise!



I was so impressed with Aiden's Pirate Coves and Tree House! It is really cool and super creative. Aiden and his dad took scrap wood and lots of old pallets and created a super awesome Pirate Ship in the front yard along with several different Pirate Coves and rad tree house.  I see lots of great adventures to come!!!! Aiden you are so lucky :) 


Santa Cruz

Mom and I made a much anticipated visit up north to visit family....Bruce, Jenn, Aiden and Aubry. The trip up was great and the girls did awesome despite being sick. The hotel sucked but we made the best of it. Being so close to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk was great. We had lots of opportunity to get on some rides and eat lots of junk food :) Aiden and Aubry have grown so much since the last visit...where does the time go???? The trip home was pretty much the hardest and most stressful experience to date with the girls....grandma was such a trooper and after the tears subsided if we had to do it all over again we would! Thanks everyone for an amazing visit, we miss you guys so much!

It was just brought to may attention that posting a comment is a bit difficult if not impossible...I just tried it myself, UGGGG!!!

Here is Grandma Suzanne's comments on our trip...

"First, I've noticed that no one ever makes comments, so decided that I would start that practice. Second, I wanted to clarify that it was Macy and Remy who cried all the way home, not Mom and Grandma, although I am sure that Beth and I both considered melting into tears many times during the drive (which Beth failed to mention included two vomiting episodes......). But the trip was a very special one, and I was glad that we finally were able to make it, as it had been put off a few times."

A Surprise Visit


What a great surprise we had when Anna had a modeling event in Santa Monica and came over for a visit with her cousins.

LUVing Spring!

Our first weekend of Spring weather! Spring is all about butterflies, strawberry smoothies, splash pools and finger paints! The girls loved being outside in the water, making messes and bugging around with all the springtime bugs! Its Monday and I am ready for next weekend and I am sure the twins are too :) 

Pick'n Stawberries


With Papa working this weekend the girls and I headed north for a visit with Grandma and Grandpa. After lunch we decided to take a little visit to the local farm for Strawberry picking. The girls loved picking the berries and eating them right off the plant. Remy was good about eating the entire strawberry but Macy would take a bite and toss...the trail of half eaten berries was hilarious and by the looks of her she had her fill (note to self...no new shirts when picking strawberries). Grandma and Grandpa had a hard time controlling their berry picking too...they sent us home with enough strawberries to last a lifetime! 

The First Hair Cuts



Saturday morning before Papa had to go to work we were able to get the girls in for their first hair cuts. Macy was a little nervous but with the help of mommy's lap she did just fine. Remy was a sport as long as she could stand up for the trim. She was not happy with the blow dryer but put up with it anyways :)


This place was great and really expensive but for the first hair cut it was worth every cent. They even gave us a certificate and an envelope filled with their baby hair for the scrapbook :)


Great job girls!!!!
