All I can say is that it's a work in progress. 
Enjoy.

Look what we can do!

A qoute from my Mom, Paula.  "When your babies can hold their own bottles, it is a great day."
My response.............. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The girls can finally hold their own bottles.  They did this this morning as I was trying to get ready for work.  They have worked really hard at this.  Way to go girls!!!!!!!!!!

The First of Many Firsts

First, I have to say that I am in love with this weather.  I cannot remember the last time it was so gorgeous.  Anyway, Sunday Justin and I took the girls on their very first picnic.  I'm making a big deal of this because ever since I can remember wanting to have kids a picnic with the family has been a must.  So, here are a few pictures and a video of our relaxing, wonderful, beautiful, and memorable FIRST picnic as a family.  Also, below are some pictures from the park Saturday and grilling out later that night. 

 

This is a video of me with Olivia (first) walking and then Allie walking.  Please excuse my extremely white complection.  Not only do I hate the sound of my voice on video but I hate my glowing white skin, too.  Next trip is to the beach to get a tan.  LOL. 

P.S. Justin didn't like me posting this video becuase of the comment he made about Olivia's shorts.  I think it's funny.

I'm Wild!

I bought the girls this cloth book with all sorts of pages of animals, textures, and sounds.  Their favorite page......the mirror.  The are so vane!!

Our beautiful babies in zebra print.  They make it work.

She kept leaning back to see what was touching her head.

Olivia's first real boo-boo.  She ran into a table and knocked the lamp off and here is her battle scar.

Silly Daddy!!

Balloons

Who doesn't like a good balloon? Last night we went out for our anniversary to La Parilla, our FAVORITE Mexican restaurant.  We brought the girls along with us and boy did they have a blast.  Of course the hostess put us slap in the middle of the restaurant.  We are already a show when people see us, but then stick us in the middle of the restaurant for people to watch our every move is not what we wanted.  Our waiter fell in love with them.  He thought that they were the most adorable things and brought them balloons.  They thought this guy hung the moon and LOVED these balloons.  (These were taken with my phone, so they are a little grainy.)

Today

Four years ago today I married an amazing man.  A man who has taught me and showed me many things.  He has filled my life with love, laughter, hope, security, and happiness.  He has made it an awesome adventure and I could not imagine traveling through life with anyone else.   

Thank you, Justin, for.........

always being there for me. 
laughing at my not so funny jokes, stories, and comments.
dealing with my obsessive compulsions.
eating meals that you may not like that I cook. 
smiling and telling me I'm beautiful when I have no makeup on.
loving me for being a dork.
sharing your life with me.
bringing me lunch.
making me laugh until I can't breath.
being considerate and respectful.
telling me you love me all the time.
being the father of our perfect little girls.
giving me everything.
having/learning patience.
being optimistic when we both know when something isn't going to be okay.
supporting me in EVERY decision I make or we make together.
telling me I look skinny when I don't.
telling me I'm perfect and I'm not.
taking care of me when I'm sick.
listening to my day, whether it was good or bad.
accepting my family as yours.
letting me ramble on and on and on and on and on when my stories have no point.

and

choosing me to be the one to go through life with you.



I have had the time of my life so far and cannot wait to see what more God has planned for us.  I love you.

Our honeymoon in Hawaii.  This is the real background, people.  We went to a Luau and ended up having dinner with Danity Kane (anyone remember them?)   It was amazing.

Us on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii.  We were too late in the season for the pipe waves.

And finally, thank you to our parents, family, and friends for supporting us and giving us the wedding day of our dreams.  Thank you to our parents for instilling the values of honesty, respect, hard work, and love in us.  You have made us the people we are today.  We love you.
