Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Thanks Kay for putting on a wonderful party for dad. We had so much fun visiting with the family and celebrating dads 75th birthday...is this the age that the clock starts going backwards? lol!!!! 

The Happiest Place on Earth!

It really is and we had the best time with Bruce, Jenn, Aiden and Aubrey! Mike and I planned a little surprise visit to Disneyland and the look on Bruce's face was the best :) Jenn was in on the deal and was great at keeping Bruce and the cousins on time so we could get a full day in at the park. For a holiday weekend it was surprising how fast we got on the rides and with the Fast Track deal it was really cool! Mike scored us some vip passes that put us at the front of the line for two rides. It was so fun having all the cousins together to share such a wonderful day. Aubrey is a roller coaster champ, only 4yrs old and did Space Mountain twice with her hands up the entire time. Aiden loved, loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and Macy and Remy totally enjoyed Its a Small World. Great memories to last a life time!!!!!

Time to celebrate...

Mike passed his Real Estate exam and we could not be more proud of him! 

Congratulations baby, we love you!!!!

Remy is climbing the walls!!!!

Artists/Gardeners in the making...

Another fun thing I planned for the girls this weekend was painting and planting their very own flower pots. Macy loved to mix all her colors up and Remy loved to see how much paint she could get all over her body! They did a really great job with the painting and the planting :) What little monkey doesn't like paint and dirt!!!! 

Lets Make Cookies!

With Papa at school for his last push to pass his Real Estate Examine on Saturday, the girls and I had endless hours of play time. I thought it would be really fun to have the girls decorate cookies. I never thought that they would eat all the decorations before they made it on to the cookie. Never the less it was really fun watching them get all messy!!! 

Weekend Reads...

Macy loves the gossip magazines just as much as papa :) 

Wheely Bugs!

Nothing is more fun than scooting around on your wheely bug with a diaper hat on!!!!

Beach Day, our Sunday

Nothing beats being with your family at the beach enjoying the simple things in life...sand castles and laughs. Papa and mama worked hard at building a large moat around the girls sandcastles to keep them from being washed away with the ever approaching tide. It was fun however when the tide did finally reached us and we could see all our hard work, work!  

Cribs

The cribs that lasted about an hour in their true form. Macy and Remy got these super cute cribs at Christmas but I put them away until a few days ago and good reason...the girls destroyed them within an hour. Now they are more like chairs...poor little cribs had no chance!!!!

Peek-a-Boo!

A Weekend with the Walkers

Last weekend we were invited to join Amanda, Randy and London in Idlewild. Amanda was teaching at a music summer camp and had rented a perfect house for all of us :) The girls had a blast playing with all of London's toys. London was a true gentleman and never argued one time with the girls about his stuff.  It was a perfectly relaxing weekend with wonderful company, pool time and quiet evenings. Thanks for having us up! 

Our LIttle Angel!

Remy thought it would be a fun idea to take a little dip with all her clothes on. I am so glad Papa had the camera at arms reach :) 

At first glance I thought Remy was going pee standing up! Thank goodness all she was doing was sucking all the toothpaste out of the tube!!!

 Again, thanks to papa's new affection for the camera we are getting some amazing shots of the girls doing what two year olds do :) 

Santa Monica Pier Arcade

We love taking the girls to the pier. They are so into the arcade now it is hilarious! But what is even more hilarious is what the car has written on it, lol!!!! I didn't even see that when I took the picture. We are looking forward to the day we can actually get the girls on the real roller coaster. 

Sweet Little Girls

I love, love these dresses Grandma Suzanne got for the girls. They are so vintage looking and got lots of compliments at a friends birthday party. Macy and Remy will hopefully be wearing these for years to come! Thanks Grandma :) 

Beach Day

We had a great beach day with Ron, Angela, Dylan and Delanie. It was so much fun having the cousins together. It reminded me so much of the times I had spent with my cousins when I was their age. Such good memories :) we can't wait to do it again before summers end. 

Weekends

What a fun filled weekend we had with family.

My Friday started out with a date with my twin brother Bruce. We went and saw the new Harry Potter movie. It was amazing. Usually Mike and I have "Friday Family Fun Night" but since my brother was in town and staying the night I could not resist the opportunity to see a movie with a true Harry Potter fan :)

Saturday morning my mom aka Grandma Suzanne came over for breakfast and a little visit with the girls. She brought some goody bags for the girls that have entertained them all weekend. They were spoiled in the wardrobe department this weekend. They got some super cute stuff form Nana earlier in the week that they wore over to Grandma and Grandpa Ostermann's house and Grandma Suzanne bought them these ridiculously cute dresses that I can't wait for them to wear next weekend :)

Saturday afternoon we all headed out with Uncle Bruce to Grandma and Grandpa Ostermann's house. Grandpa had surgery Monday on his arm and was ready for some company, he looked great! The girls entertained as always, never a dull moment with them! Papa D and the twins took a little dip and enjoyed the new $3 dollar big wheel we scored from a garage sale down the street, thanks Uncle Bruce and thanks Grandma Kay for taking such good care of Dad!

A few weekend side notes...keep an eye on your child when small pools of water are available on a hot day, clothes or no clothes...ferns make really cute headbands...and no beach house is complete without a super cool outdoor shower, Remy and Papa can't get enough of the out doors suds me down, don't think Papa has showered indoors in a week!

Inspired by the sea...

After our trip to Costa Rica we decided it was time to give Remy and Macy a room makeover. I had this idea for their room since I was pregnant but alas we are almost there. The girls really love it and it was fun putting it all together, thanks papa :)

The New Ride...

Papa D has a birthday coming up and he wanted a new board but not sure he is going to get it away from the girls. Remy can't seem to get enough...she has spent more time on the board than her papa. Happy almost B-Day papa :) We love you!!!

The First Day of School

That's right...the girls are school girls now. We found a wonderful Montessori School in Culver City and Macy and Remy seem to be really enjoying it. There are three other children that were enrolled from their daycare and the girls are loving having their friends there. I can't wait for the arts and crafts projects to start rolling in :)
