Oranga gonna smile??

This pretty much sums the morning up. Both girls were enjoying their oranges but Mara decided to make it funny!!

My 3 Amigos

Thought this was a picture perfect moment of my beautiful family!!

Baby Sleepover

Monday we got to have Mia come over for the day and then stay the night. It was a busy day full of playing, crying, eating and even bathing. The girls were so cute together and they even slept thru naps and the night.

Who knew a toddler sleepover could be so fun!

We ate..


Watched barney..


And played, played, played!



Mia loved our playhouse. I think she played in it for almost 3 hours cooking us up some fabulous peas and hot dogs. Yum Yum






After a hard days play they had to have their bath. They were making bubbles with the straws and thought it was hilarious.


Night Night Babies!!

Chuck E Cheese Time

Sunday was Coltons 4th Birthday party and so we drove to Olympia for the party. The girls had so much fun and to tell you the truth the place was actually pretty darn clean. Gracelyn was terrified of Chuck E Cheese and also tha cars that moved.

What a fun afternoon.








I always dread the party invitations that come in the mail that say either Chuck E Cheese or Odyssey. The reason is because those places are like little petri dishes full of bacteria and germs that I would like to keep my children away from. Why?? you ask???? because it seems like this year my two have picked up everything under the sun as far as colds and sicknesses go. We will wait and see what happens!!












Happy 4th Birthday Colton!! We Love you....

Box Airplanes

When Justin got home on Sunday the girls and him got out the markers and made airplanes out of empty boxes. Gracelyn thought the best part was the actual airplane ride. Weee.....

Friends

Friday night after a long day of work we went to Gig Harbor to go swimming at the new Y. Afterwards we were hungry so we joined Jocelyn and the girls for some dinner.
Gracie was passing out kisses and Mara and McKenna were bust buddies as usual.

Ouch Heartley!!

Heartley tuened 1 on Valentines Day and this week she decided to grace us with her first big vet bill.

Tuesday night she came in and her back left leg was bleeding. I cleaned it out and waited until the next morning to take her to the vet. Of course she tore her leg open and her arteries were exposed. I picked her up that night after surgery, and stitches.

The girls were just so worried about her and they thought the cone she had to wear on her head was just hilarious. They were afraid to leave her alone and they stayed in her business all night long.

Tiggerrrss are Bouncy and Fun!!

Justin and I were cleaning out the closets last weekend and we found this big Tiger. Gracelyn just loved it and spent most of the day playing with him.



Tiggers are playful


Huggable


And oh so fun!!


They even will watch Barney with you when it is time.





They are bouncy bouncy bouncy bouncy fun fun fun fun fun

The wonderful thing about a tiger is.. He's the only one!!

Let's Celebrate!!

Saturday night Justin and I along with many of our good friends got to go to the Sea Grill for appetizers and drinks. The reason we went was in celebration of our friend Matthews new job. Matthew is now the Executive Chef at the Sea Grill. A position he is so deserving of! All of us were invited down to taste some of his finest treats as well as yummy drinks and good adult conversation. I was in much need of a night out and this completed that void.

After the Sea Grill we went to a little bar in fife and played darts, pool and just basically hung out. I am pretty sure we wrapped up our evening around 10 pm. A sure sign that we are getting really OLD. Ugh!!

Thanks Matthew for such a wonderful time. You are amazing and we are so proud of your accomplishments!! Keep up the good work. We love you so much!!






Look at my cute hubby! I love you so much!!



Oh and Welcome Doug to the group. Lulus fiance who just moved here from Vancouver. A perfect fit for a crazy crazy group of friends!!


Thanks to all of my friends too. I am so blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life.

Valentine Party fun!

On Valentines Day I got to go work in Maras classroom. It was so fun and I can really tell that Mara is enjoying school so much!!




It was a busy day for the children. The kids got to make chocolate fondue and then dip all of their favorite goodies into it. Mara especially enjoyed the strawberries!!


They also made Valentine books as well as the big Valentine exchange. It was so much fun and Mara was in such a fun loving kissable mood.



All of the kids are so cute and they all get along so well!!
