Welcome Levi Jacob Roberts

Jennifer and Ken welcomed the newest addition to their family, Levi. They adopted him June 8th. He was only three weeks old, domestic adoption and perfectly healthy :) They are so blessed and can not be happier! We all are just in love with that little face!!!

Fathers Day Weekend

A long over due visit with cousins, Aiden and Aubry. Macy and Remy had a blast playing with their cousins and friends this weekend. A dear friend London turned two, Jeremy and family joined us for a BBQ, Grandma Suzanne bunked in the spare room on the air mattress, Jenn, Bruce and Aiden took over the couch and living room. Macy and Remy shared their bed with Aubry. A full house and loved every minute. Thanks everyone for making this weekend a super special one. Wishing I wasn't having so many problems with my camera...I did not get enough pics of everyone. I did take some funny video but still can't figure out how to post it.

Papa got some much needed beach time this weekend. The weather was beautiful and the crowds were small. Macy and I combed the beaches for more shells and Remy and Papa explored the tide pools. Sunday the girls and I took Papa out for an amazing sushi dinner and then we went and crashed our neighbors house for a few hours. The perfect kind of Sunday. Happy Fathers Day to the man of my dreams and the best papa ever! We love you!!!

Leaves, Butterflies, Shells?

Here is an art project I did from some really cool shells we found at the beach. Papa will hang these in the playhouse. Love my weekend art projects :)

Birthday weekend continued...

A long over due visit with Grandma, Aunty Linda, Lisa and Shawna. Such a great day at the beach and lots of fun surprises like the amazing sea shells :) We got to have Grandma stay with us in the front unit for a few nights and loved every minute!!!! Everyday since Macy and Remy refer to the front unit as "Grandmas Place", too cute!!!

Playhouse Finished!

Papa had it finished just before the girls party. He was putting down sod a day before with Uncle Bruce. Wow, it looks amazing!!! Thanks Papa and Uncle Bruce for pulling off a miracle :)

Macy & Remy turn 3!

It was an amazing weekend filled with friends and family. Thanks everyone for making the girls 3rd birthday celebration so memorable. We truly are blessed in so many ways :)

Cabo 2010

OMG, what an amazing vacation and we owe it all to Grandma Kay and Grandpa :) We missed you guys so much and were so happy too get a few days pool side with you :)

Pictures are always the true tail on how your vacation went and as you can see we had a blast!

We were able to take our good friend Jesse with us this year to help out with the girls and it was a BIG help! Despite the girls giving her a hard time and only wanting mama Jesse was a true sport and such a pleasure to have with us :) Thanks Jesse!!!!

Papa Bear was a true social butterfly, he met several couples to hang with and had such a pleasure to hang with Jeff and family....can't wait for next year :)

Tadpoles

The girls had a great time learning to swim.

Macy was all smiles but was impossible to get her to put her head under water.

Remy was a natural in the water with a little help from papa.

Check out LA Surf and Swim, really great staff!

Great Visit!!!!

Another great visit with Marty and his son Hershel. The girls had so much fun....we had some great laughs and can't wait to another visit!!!!!

Lunch

The first lunch in the playhouse. The perfect lighting for a Sunday lunch :) 

Nice Moves Macy

Macy is loving her dance class and has some new, great moves! 

Lets Eat Cake

Papa woke up to the girls having breakfast, cake.

Macy always knows where the cake is and they got themselves 

all set up while I was at work and papa was sleeping :) 

Luv'n early morning visits from Grandpa...

Garden Planted

Nothing gets you in the summer spirit like a garden! All planted now I just need to remember to water it :) 

Thanks Papa for getting me all ready to plant...again you made my job easy!!!! 

Occupational Hazards!

You guessed it Mike was bit by a pit bull showing a house. 14 stitches later and a little bit shy of dogs his ego recovered and so did his leg. The unfortunate thing in all this is the owner of the dog never called to see how Mike was doing. Who does that!!!!!

Sorry Papa :( But we are so happy that is all that happened!

The Playhouse

As you can see Papa and Grandpa put a lot of muscle in this playhouse! My part was easy :)

We were able to use some windows Papa found in the ally for the skylights and we used all left over paint I had collected over the years with my mural work. Some of our neighbors had some given us some used 2x4's from a commercial shoot.  The chandelier was bought at Ikea for $20 and after a few additions thanks to Grandma we have an amazing center piece! Even though we saved by using some recycled materials we might have been better off buying a pre-fabricated house....but what fun is that!!!!! A labor of love and worth every minute of it to see Macy and Remy's faces light up the closer we get to being finished.

Great job Papa and thanks Pops for all your hard work...the first few days of construction Pops had a really, really bad cold but it didn't slow him down. You rock Pops!!!!

Stay tuned for more updates and just a little side note about the doors. See the picture of Remy with her hand on the door...well that was minutes after she had pulled the whole door frame down. Papa is not sure exactly how she did it but knowing Remy she was probably swinging/hanging off it :) Papa made sure that door is never going anywhere again!!! 

Easter Weekend

I love Easter weekend...lot's of friends and family, we needed one more day this year to celebrate with everyone :)

Friday Mike and I kept the girls in school so we could do some work on the playhouse and get the garden planted. I have about ten varieties of tomatoes. We also planted zucinni, peppers, onions, cilantro...i will be ready for salsa!

Saturday we headed to Woodland Hills for a BBQ at Lucas and Ryder's house. Mike and I got "space" jealous! Remy had so much fun running from one side of the yard to the other...no matter what her mission she ran it :) Macy loved all the toys and was happy hanging out doing what she loves the best..reading and eating :)

Sunday we headed to Pop's and Nana's house for their traditional feast! It was so much fun getting all the cousins together, everyone is growing so fast!!!!

silly girls!

Macy, loves comfort!

Remy, loves the spotlight!
