Hanging with BFF's

While Mike was in Vancouver for the Olympics I took advantage of some much needed visits with friends and family. Donna went with us to Disneyland and we also made a trip up North to visit Jenn, Grandma and Grandpa...we also got a surprise visit from the newest member of the family, Gunner...so cute!!!! Such a great weekend :)

2010 Winter Olympics

Mike and his best friend Andrew had a great time checking out all the sights at this years Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It was cold and rainy but that didn't stop them from having an amazing adventure :)

In good company...

We always look forward to our yearly visit with Uncle Jim and Aunt Judy. The bonus is extra time with grandma and grandpa and the 80+ weather we had today! wow, it was beautiful!!!!

Its a start...

Despite colds grandpa and papa got a good start on the girls new playhouse. We are so excited for them to have their very own special place to entertain their friends. Check back for updates :)

ART

Having fun with Papa

It is always a challenge to get a great picture of Macy and Remy together. But during some of those moments I sometimes get a really, really great picture of Papa and the girls!!!! This one melts my heart :)

and those dresses and hats from nana are just too darn cute!!!!

What better way to spend a sick day...

A quick run to the fabric store and we had enough fabric for three tutu's. The girls had fun picking their own colors and flowers. Remy was feeling better than Macy and was able to give me some cute shots of her new tutu :) We are ready for Spring....Super sweet!

Another Sick Weekend :(

Poor little Macy has it bad. The worst cough we have had in a long time :( 

From the Belly Archives...

After seeing all the belly pics of Octo-mom in the new Star magazine  I could not resist posting my BIG'O belly for all the see. I can't remember being that big! OUCH :)

New Favorite Place...The Skirball Museum

Papa is a brave man! He loves his solo adventures with Macy and Remy. He took them to the Skirball and had lots of fun. This was the girls second time there and they just can't get enough!

Such a cool place!

Wonder Twins!

Super cute T-shirts by my friend Mandy. She designed them with our girls in mind!

Time with family

Mikes God Mother was in town for a visit and he had the perfect opportunity to visit. I unfortunately was not able to make it but by the looks of the pictures everyone had a great time!

Spending time with friends...

2010 is going to be a year that we make more time for our friends. It seems to have been a bad pattern in 2009, because nobody seemed to have time for much of anything but everyone wanted to find time. I am so excited to have more days like this one. I had my best friend over in the am and some of my other close friends over for the afternoon! A perfectly spent day :)

Bubbles!

I can remember doing this as a child, couldn't get mad at them for exploring their world and getting clean :) they were having too much fun!

Happy New Year!

As we say goodbye to 2009, one of the hardest years to date for us as a family. We are excited about moving forward to 2010. The things we would like to put behind us: diapers, sippy cups, tantrums, sleepless nights, long work days, short weekends and bad habits. The things we are looking forward to: better careers, more vacations, finished inventions, a cleaner house and the best of all...summer!

We wish you all the best in the New Year and can't wait to snap a lot of pictures of you, us and them. This blog has been a great source of enjoyment for us and to look back at the last few years is always a good laugh :)

We love everyone so much!!!!

an early morning pre showing of the Rose Parade floats, so amazing!!!!!!

Jingle Bells :)

Macy and Remy had their first school performance this year. Remy was much more interested in being the class clown and Macy wanted to sit on papa's lap. For the few minutes they were on stage it was priceless!!!!

Christmas 2009

There is nothing better than spending time with family and enjoying the holidays. Thanks everyone for making this year so special for us and the girls. They were so into it this year and can't wait to see Santa again next year :)

Just Cute!

Story Time with Marty

We had a great visit with the Cohen family over the weekend and the girls got a real special treat, books and a reading by Marty. The girls were really into it and just love their new books.

Thanks for the great lunch and and even better the great company :)

Ginger Bread House's

During a little shopping spree at Target I came across these really cute and simple Ginger Bread Houses. I am always up for a little art fair and with papa game we got busy helping the girls with their very first candy houses. The hardest part was the frosting. It was melting and the houses were sliding apart...it was hilarious! But with a little help from the fridge they survived and will be nibbled at throughout the week :) Great memories and great job girls and papa you are so creative!
