She's crafty.

In order to dispell any rumors that:
A: I am NOT a "normal" Mormon mother
or
B: that Jeremy is better at crafts than myself...
I have decided to post some of my most recent creations, if you will...
The first being these cute paper tissue decorations.

I made them for the girls birthday party and have left some of them up because they are so dang cute.

The next being a Las Vegas family edition of Guess Who?. If you are a relative and you look closely, you might even see a picture of yourself. This game was made in an effort to have the girls better recognize their family that they do not live close too.

And finally, a purple and pink tulle tutu for my little princesses. And yes, I got their pictures back. And yes, I love them. And yes I will post them soon.

Strawberry Shortcake Birthday Party

Saturday April 10th, we had a family birthday party for the girls. (We have decided that odd years are family birthdays - even are friend birthdays). My mom and two sisters were able to fly into town to be with us. Here are the girls waiting for everyone to show up. The decor was red and pink...
... and the girls even had cute strawberry outfits on!

Here I am with my two big girls! I love that Bailey's eyes are closed every time that she smiles. She is just like her Daddy. =) Daddy also "looses" his eyes when he is fibbing. Let's hope Bailey inherits that signal as well!

Granny (my mom) with her grand-daughters.

Me and my sistas!

Here come the two large cupcakes since not everyone would eat Strawberry Shortcake because there was fruit involved (i.e. Jeremy and Jacob) It was Bianca's birthday as well so one was her favorite (carrot cake) while the other was chocolate.

Chowing down on some pizza with D to the P.
Kira making the strawberry shortcakes while I eat the homemade whipped cream. Note to self: do not wear that shirt until I actually become pregnant. Yikes!

Present time. Kennedy kept yelling "Oh my gosh!" every time she opened something new. They got quite the variety of gifts from make-up to drills!

Happy Birthday to all three of you! The girls blew out their own candles this year with NO help!
I CANNOT believe they have been our sweet girls for THREE YEARS. I kinda hope they will live with us forever - well, for now. Ask my again when they are teenagers. =)


All and all it was a "BERRY" wonderful birthday!!!

Easter Pics

Here are a few pictures from our Saturday Easter celebration. The girls are getting their Easter baskets from Nana and Papa. We had an indoor/ outdoor hunt. Let's just say Bailey totally "got it" and her basket was filled while Kennedy stopped to open and eat every egg she found!
We hunted with two new twin friends: Diamond and Pearl.
...And then when all the madness died down we colored Easter eggs! I was really proud of the girls because they are PICKY eaters, but they each ate a whole hard boiled egg each!

St. Patricks Day

I am borrowing pictues off of Sally's camera since we can't find ours - hence why the St. Patrick's pics are a little late! Here I am with the girls watching a Willly Wonka play at Orangevale Open.
They LOVED the Oompa Loompas! I can still hear their little voices singing the song around the house daily!

And her best friend Charlotte (for pink obsessed Kennedy)...
... complete with Princess and the Frog snacks!!!

Spring Break

Why do I plan so much fun stuff and make myself exhausted when my children have no idea what spring break is? (P.S. Camera is lost so there are no pictures)
Our week went something like this:
Monday: Fairytale Town
Tuesday: Storytime at Library
Wednesday: Park Day
Thursday: April's Fools Party and Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie
Friday: Girl's 3 year old Pictures!
I am tired and ready for the weekend, but wishing it would stay the weekend forever - because Monday I begin my in vitro injections! Wish they would just invent a pill already =)

We are Family..... Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah-Yeah

Last weekend rocked. I went to San Fran, ate Mikuni, ate at The Sunflower, and went to Ikea. All in the good company of my cousin, best friend, and baby Faye.
