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. 

 

Easter Funday

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!!!!

Learning "Fish Lip"

What better way to show a fish that you love him! 

Remy has the fish"kisses" down but Macy is still figuring it out, she will get it soon :) 

Welcome home little fish!

We shall call you Kinney! A good fit with Chris and Sylvio :) 

The girls got a new little friend over the weekend and have been really good at feeding him and talking to him. He really seems to be enjoying his new home and it is really nice to have him, we love him! 

 

Baby vs Vaseline

Yep, you guessed it...this is one of about thirty attempts to get vaseline out of Remy's hair and the vaseline is winning! Tonight Remy is getting a dish soap scrub down and hopefully that will do the trick. The corn starch is just not soaking it up, the greaser look is getting old!

How could this happen...

Bedtime + toddlers in toddler beds + run of the room + crafty climbing + tub of vaseline = total disaster! 

About 9pm Sunday night I went in to check on the twins, usually asleep by that time and out pops Remy from behind the curtains fully covered head to toe with vaseline. Lets not even talk about everthing else in the room that was covered, no surface was untouched. Thankfully Macy was asleep while Remy had her way with the goo!  Papa had a full day of clean up Monday and I am sure it will not be the last :) 

Cousins Rock!!!

Having cousins so close reminds me of when I was growing up with my cousins. We had so many great adventures and the memories will live on forever. I can't wait for Macy and Remy to have those same experiences with their cousins and I think this weekend was one of those great memories. SO MUCH FUN!!!! Thanks :)

The First Day of the Rest of Mike's Life

"Let's Celebrate" was the theme our our latest party. It was important for us to let Mike know that his family totally supports him in his pursuit of his dreams. 

Mike is on to bigger and better things since he was let go from Laser Pacific, a job that I was happy to see him leave and on his last day we put on a little party to celebrate the break.  

We love you baby and are here for you every step of the way!!!! You can do it :) 

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 :)
