Who needs the sun to have fun...

Despite the pending rain we ventured out with family for a little beach lunch at Paradise Cove and then off the the Getty Villa Museum. We had so much fun hanging out with Uncle Jim, Aunt Judy, Grandma Kay and Grandpa Bruce. The girls were so funny, especially Remy. She had us in tears over lunch with all the funny little things she does. We are convinced she will be the class clown! Macy is just as sweet as ever and always melts the hearts of anyone that meets her, so cute!!!!! Thanks everyone for making the day so much fun. Looking forward to the next visit Jim and Judy :)

Lots of Love on Valentines Day

The clothes say it all...as the girls get older I think the matching outfits are going to be a thing of the past and pj's will be the staple of every outfit. I had to give up on the cute little leggings in order to get the shot :)

But what really matters is we had so much fun playing Valentines morning!

Hope your day was filled with lots of kisses and hugs :)

Story time with Grandma Suzanne

These boots were made for Walking...

Remy can't get enough of her boots. Her style reminds me of her Uncle Brads...lots of leg!!!

Macy Wears Many Hats...

Even if it is not really a hat :) 

The Skirball Museum

What an amazing place! If you or someone you know is visiting or lives in Los Angeles this place is a must see :)

The Artist and The Builder

These two pictures truly represent Macy and Remy's personalities. 

The picture of Macy was taken when we were on vacation in Santa Barbara. Instead of playing with all the other kids she was much more interested in some alone time to draw in the sand. We were playing at this amazing park and Macy just wandered off and papa just followed behind to see where she would go and let her have a little adventure of her own. She found a stick and was in heaven. 

Remy loves to build and stack. The higher the better and she has gotten so good at balancing even the smallest of things. Remy was totally in her element with the cans of cat food, the perfect stacking material. 

They amaze us everyday with their new talents and interests :)

Ode to the Holidays...

We survived and had so much fun doing it! What a great time of the year for us. The girls have finally turned the corner and are so much fun right now. They kept us laughing and amazed with all the new things they are learning.

Macy and Remy were so spoiled by all the great gifts they received. We have totally run out of room and have to rethink our living space!

We had some great visits with family and friends and are sad to see this year come to a close but are so excited for 2009.

Thank you everyone for all the special gifts, great food and wonderful company!!! We love you so much!

See ya in the New Year and check out all the pics from this holiday season...

The Big Screen

"Four Christmases" was the top grossing movie over Thanksgiving weekend $31 million! Baby Jesus aka Bernard finally had her five minutes of fame. Remy took most of the shots but Macy snuck in there for a few takes. The shot where Remy is being set into the bassinet is actually Mikes hands. He had to dress up as Brad (Vince) to keep Remy calm for the shoot. So cool!!!

It was so amazing for us to see the girls on the big screen. We had the opportunity to get all the grandparents together to see the movie and I can't think of anything more special to share with them. 

We are so proud!!!! 

With BIG Thanks...

for Thanksgiving with family. We are so lucky to have both our families so close. 

Macy and Remy were on their best behavior and enjoyed all the activity. Having them so close to their cousins reminds me of all the great times I had growing up with my cousins. So much fun!!!!

Thank you everyone for all the great company and wonderful eats. We can't wait to do it all again in a few short weeks :)

Watch out Angelina...

Welcoming new friends and visiting with Best friends

A day not soon forgotten and how could you with pictures like these. The girls and I were invited to join my closet friend Jenn and her family in welcoming the newest addition to the family, baby Kali. Julie and Brian are so blessed with such a beautiful little girl. I didn't have a chance to hold or even admire her for long, Macy and Remy had me on the run the entire time. I warned the proud grandparents to strap everything down, lol!!!! Jen and Ken helped me keep track and entertain the girls and it was hilarious watching them try. I loved every minute :) I can't wait for the next visit! 

Sisters together again!

We had a wonderful visit from Jamie and boyfriend Ryan this past weekend. Our schedules finally worked for all of us and we got a much anticipated family visit with all the sisters. Macy and Remy had a blast getting to know their sister and they could not get enough of Ryan, must be a Castillo girl thing, lol. We are already counting the days until the next visit. Thanks Jamie and Ryan for making the trip, it means so much to us :) love you!!!!!

The Happiest Place on Earth - Disney!

We had such a great time at Disneyland with Macy and Remy.

Remy especially loved Minni Mouse's House....she was in love with the stove and dishwasher, so cute!!!!! Macy wasn't too sure about Mickey, maybe it was the nose but she loved his pad :)

Remy loved how Goofy smelled and how soft his arm was or she was biting him, lol. Macy was still not too sure about this oversized creature, again maybe the nose thing.

We were able to get on two rides, the ones with the shortest lines, Remy does not like to wait! We rode the "Wild Toad Ride" and the "Merry Go Round", both girls did excellent :)

Macy was so fascinated with all the floats and dancers in the Disney Parade. She was dancing and laughing. She is our little performer. Remy was much more interested in scaling the fences and water fountain...our little athlete. So different!

Disney was all set up for Halloween and got us in the spirit of the season!

Happy Halloween :)

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch Time

We were so excited to get out to Moorpark this year for the big Pumpkin Patch. The farm has grown so much since I worked there it is totally amazing and really fun. I highly recommend it!!! We were so happy Grandma and Grandpa were able to join us to share this little adventure with us :) Remy was so funny at the petting zoo, she actually gave a goat a kiss on the lips! Yummy :) Both girls enjoyed getting lost in the corn maze...us not so much, lol! We had such a great time thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

A Longhorn B-Day Bash

What a great way to spend the day. We had so much fun hanging with the Hentons for Hollands birthday and a little Texas Longhorn Game! Look at all that team spirit. Paige's mom hooked the girls up with their super cute Longhorn t-shirts, hats and socks! The girls looked so cute. Destin and Cash sported their little Longhorn cheerleading outfits :) One of the few nights that the girls actually slept through the night :) More parties please, hehehe

Tahoe Time

This trip to Lake Tahoe was the second for the girls. Wow, what a year makes. Last year was easy!!!! 

Thankfully the girls did great and we got through the flight and the airports without any problems. Well actually the security check point in Tahoe coming home was interesting. We have flown four times with the girls and never had a problem This time we had to have every bag inspected including the milk. They were suspicious of all the bottles (4). Hello....we need two going up and two coming down......HELLO, we have TWINS. You would think we could of got off with a little sympathy, lol!!! 

Despite the airlines we had a great visit. Mamasita and Pops stopped at the best bakery in Bishop on the way up and bought enough bread to feed an army...okay, four adults for four days. I have NEVER put on so much weight in such a short amount of time in my life, thanks Louise :) 

The girls had the best time exploring the condo and hiding the remote. Never heard back if it was ever found. 

It is so beautiful in Tahoe and the weather was amazing. The first day was a little chilly but after that it was absolute perfect. 

We really want to thank Mamasita and Pops for a great weekend. We had a blast and we know the girls did too!!! 

Thank you!!!!!
