Amazing

If you can turn this.... into this in 2 days (having never done it before)...
while letting your curious children help...

then your name must be amazing. Or Jeremy Nelson.

Valentine Weekend

Since Valentine's was on a Sunday this year we mainly celebrated on Saturday. We went to our ward's Hollywood Sweetheart dance. It was fun to get all dressed up and dance the night away! In fact, this is only the 2nd time Jeremy and I have EVER danced together!!! Well, that is if you don't count all the evening waltzes in our kitchen. Jer somehow managed to turn a vase into something shady. I am sure the bishop is questioning why Jeremy is charge of the youth in the ward.

Glaming it up.

Then on Valentine's morning, I woke up to find flowers for me and for the girls. (They got tulips in their favorite colors: pink and purple). Plus, he sewed some new couch cushions for me! Hey, if you don't know by now that Jer is the domestic one... well now you do! It was SOOO thoughtful and sweet. I had already picked out the fabric and have been meaning to get to it for some time now and just never have.
The girls and I made breakfast for Jer and some tres leches cupcakes for that evening before church.
I LOVE my three Valentine's!!! (even the two goofy ones in the pic below)

Disney on Ice

These two princesses were pretty much the cutest things there. And...

they pretty much were in LOVE with this.

A new journey begins...

On Wednesday, we drove 2.5 hours to get here....

to meet this man...
so we can hopefully do THIS again. =)

Home and Garden Expo

Our day out at Cal Expo....

See some big large character that the girls categorize as "scary?"

CHECK.

Eat nasty junk food?

CHECK.

Gathered ideas for our up and coming front yard remodel?

CHECK.

(Here is a sneak peak at this Spring's undertaking!)

My little Princesses

This month the girls got invited to a Princess Tea Party for their friend Lydia. Can I tell you how fun it is having girls? This is pretty much Bailey's proudest moment to date as her goal in life is to be The Little Mermaid. If you have not heard her version of Ariel's voice getting taken by the Sea Witch, you are missing out.

This is the best group shot I could get. Not the most cooperative bunch, but cute none the less.
Tea partying it up...
New found friend and Bailey. She cracked me up that while all the others kept trying on more princess dresses, she fell in love with the mini-skirt Pirate outfit.

Vegas Christmas Vacation

This year was our year to go to Vegas for Christmas. We had tons of fun despite the freezing cold weather due to the wind! Beware this post has lots of pics so I won't blame you for scanning through real fast. Or, if you want to enlarge a pic of me and put it up in your room, I won't blame you either!

Almost All of Us

Great-Grandma Olvera and the girls

Girls "shooting" at Bass Pro Shops

Kennedy's pose at the MGM Grand after we went to see the Free Lion Habitat. If you haven't seen it, don't. It was free what else can I say?

On vacation, we took the girls to the Leid Discovery children's museum (a personal childhood favorite of mine). There .........................

they are dressed up and did a dance on their big stage,

blew bubbles,

took flight lessons.

put on a puppet show,

grocery shopped,

picked the hottest guy working the register to check out with,

and experienced 80 mph winds of a hurricane!

Here is great-grandpa Kennedy and the little ladies.

We baked cookies for Santa by rolling,

cooking and frosting them,

and adding mucho sugar to them! (Jer didn't stop them as he said Santa likes his cookies that way).

Here the girls are playing with some of their favorite presents from Christmas presents.

Christmas dinner was at the Webbs. Here is my friend/cousin. We still can not figure out what to call each other.

Best Christmas family pic we could get.

Me and my lover.
