apparently i was walking alone on this day...

too cute!!!!

she is a natural...

has anyone seen the girls?

Ouch!!!!

Macy and Remy were playing a little rough and Macy was tipped over on the rocking horse :( Thought she hurt her arm but it turns out she must have pinched her little bits. After some screaming, a little blood and a massive bruise we were able to calm her down and ice it! Not fun, but in the end she was a trooper!

A much needed visit!

sister Beth and me took off to Santa Barbara to celebrate her birthday 

and have some quality down time :) 

Perfect weather and great fun! love you sister :)

of course this trip was back in January. Still had to post a wonderful picture of us! 

Bowling Alleys Never Get Old!

check out Macy's goggles, hilarious! 

Cookies

the girls love making cookies. These were for St. Patricks Day!

Disneyland

Through a special online offer and through Sony we got a great Disney trip and a wonderful visit with family. We were able to have Shawna come stay with us for two nights and Bruce, Jenn, Aiden and Aubry were down from up north. We got really lucky with beautiful weather and lots of pool time. The girls had a little rough time at the theme parks but enjoyed all the sweets and games. Remy and Shawna were unseperable! Great memories...but don't think we will go back until the girls can enjoy all the rides and not have to use the bathroom every five minutes, lol!!!

LA Zoo

The zoo is always a blast. The girls are never really that interested in the animals mostly the cotton candy and penny squishing machines :)

Mammoth Lakes = Snow Bunnies

Yep, think we have some snow bunnies on our hands. Macy and Remy could not get enough! Papa took them skiing and they LOVED it. They got a chance to compete in a snowman making contest and ate lots of yellow snow, lol....just kidding!!!! Great visit with the Roberts family and a big thank you for hosting us, always an amazing time with you guys :)

A visit with Grandma

The girls and I got a chance to see Grandma's work and spend some time hanging out. We took the girls to the toy store and Macy had to have this funny little bubble blower. By the time we got home it was dark and could not try out the new toy....she was up super early and outside with the bubble maker the next morning, it was hilarious....oh and messy. Remy of course picked out a princess dress up set. We spent Sunday at the Living Dessert, love this place!!!! Look forward to spending more Sunday mornings there :) 

The First Flip!

Mike and Pops have finished and actually as I write this it is in the process of closing, SOLD! It is amazing how fast and how beautiful this house turned out. I can't begin to express how impressed I am with those Castillo's....check out the before and after pics! Great job papa and pops :)

Christmas 2010

Christmas 2010 was so much fun. This year the girls were totally into it! We had an amazing sleep over at Grandma Suzanne's house and saw Uncle Doug for the first time in 20 years :) It was a memory I am sure the kids will remember for a life time! Macy & Remy got their first bikes from Nana and Pops and can't wait to get them out there this summer to ride them at the beach. Santa was really good to the girls this year and came through with everything on their lists! Thanks everyone for making this year so special! xoxoxo

okay here we go again playing catchup.....

Macy & Remy luv making Gingerbread Houses! 

A great visit with Grandma Suzanne. We took the girls to see Tangled. The girls loved it. Especially since they just got their hair cuts like Rapunzel did in the end. Cute!!!!

While grandma was out I took the girls for a little walk through the golf course after night fall to look for santa's elves.....flash lights and grass trimmings made for a great adventure. 

A wonderful visit with my best friend from elementary school. Lisa Billson, her partner and super cute little boy Spike. Good times!!!!

Nutcracker to see our beautiful niece Anna perform. The girls had a great time playing around on the stage after the show with their cousins. And we got to celebrate Nana's birthday! 

Remy is always surprising us with a fashion show of sorts. We never know what she is going to coem out of her room in!!!! She loves a god laugh :) 

The Builder

Macy loves to play with her princesses and blocks. The blocks she is playing with were my mom's when she was a baby. I have so many memories playing with them at Macy's age with my cousins Jimmy & Lisa. Super cool to have something that has been passed down for generations :)

Travel Town

Thanksgiving 2010

Thanksgiving is all about spending time with family and we put the miles on the truck to do so...and it was worth it. We had great visits with both sides of the family. Castillo's in Seal Beach and Ostermann's in Camarillo and Palm Dessert to see Grandma.

October....how i love theeee!

This month went by too fast to even comprehend. So many adventures. Lots of work and lots of changes.

All month Macy thought Halloween was "today" and all she wanted to be was a bunny. It started off as a "pink, blue, white and yellow" bunny. We compromised and I made her her favorite color, pink! It was so much fun to make and I really can't wait for all the costume projects that are ahead of us...right up my alley!

Remy could not decide what to be so I took them to a Halloween store and out of all the great costumes Remy decided on the Pink Unicorn. Had I known she wanted to wear a stuffed animal I would have pulled out one of the thousands we have in the garage. I could not say no to the sweet little face and she was a Unicorn riding Cowgirl! She can pull off just about anything she wears :)  She even had a small speaking part in the class Halloween Performance...a star is born! She loves the spot light :)

The girls have changed so much in the last few months. They are getting easier in public, less fears of me having to take them anywhere solo, Papa is much more brave than I am.  They are good with detail and listen fairly well for three year olds. I cherish our nights around the dinner table and get to hear all about their friends and what they are learning in school. They amaze me dailey!

The month ended with a little nip & tuck for mamma. Finally getting the ol'bod back and can't wait for the reveal over the Holidays! The recovery has been hard but Mike has been a true partner and has been amazing. The girls have also been truly wonderful and keeping their distance as to not hurt mommy. I am so blessed!

We started the month off with a great trip with all our neighbors to the LA County Fair. I have not been since I was a child and it was the best time! We got there early and hit all the rides with no lines and were out of there by 1pm and it was the last day so it was not busy, just an FYI for next year! Oh and don't try and eat a turkey leg or a hot dog by yourself....never in my life have I ever seen a hot dog that could feed a family of four and then we wonder why we have such a obesity issue in the states! WOW ;)

We managed to get out to the Terra Rejada Family Farms on the HOTTEST day of the year....record temps for this time of year!!!! We met a few friends out there but all the kids went in different directions and we never got a chance to visit, next year friends :) 

Getting caught up after a long, long summer!!!!

We had such a full summer that the blog fell behind. We had so much fun this summer with friends and family! We visited Palm Dessert, Cabo, Tahoe, Mammoth, the beach, Santa Barbara, the beach and many more places. I have put together a few of the pics and hopefully more to come as I get more time, so many great pictures that NEED to be shared! And I promise to be more on top of this blog, it is so important to me to document our lives for Macy and Remy! Also a big "I Love You" to my wonderful husband, five years and still going strong! I will be showing off my new ring as I see you :)
