For A Mere Fifty Cents....

You too can have two very happy toddlers riding the Dumbo at Babies R' Us...

Little Moment...

I received a text picture from Aaron the other day with this picture attached and saying that he looked outside and found 'J' and 'L' laying down and laughing together. Oh precious moments...

The Band is BACK!

A Little Girl Kiss...

Just when you think Elliot is the naughtiest little girl around, she pulls this out of her hat:

(and then normalcy is quick to return:)

Maybe I Was Quick to Speak...

A Cute (Rare) Moment

Elliot giving Jadon some love, or preparing to smack him...not really sure which one.

I Love Happy Morning Babies!

...And There's Nothing Wrong With It!

Much to his father's dismay, I couldn't help but get out my old dance costumes (mostly for Elliot) and dress up Jadon. With the recent buzz and his new 'boy-ish' look, I had to bring "sexy back" since his curly tresses are a fleeting memory. I don't know...he looks pretty comfortable to me?!

Behold...the 'CURL-HAWK'

A New Cart to Love...

The pictures explain why, when you have two young-ins in tow:

I'm Back...

Okay, so in a random moment of boredom and nothing better to do than to blog, I decided I wanted to change my web address but somehow lost my original blog for an address that just didn't sit right with me. Anyhoo -- I decided to get my old address back, and luckily didn't lose any of the posts. Phwew! HOWEVER -- I will be changing my address soon, but can't think of anything really cute to make it. Any suggestions? In the meantime...here's the reason I love Costco shopping carts:

My Two.

I've been reminded these past several days on how incredibly important these two little creatures are to me. I've thought about their first days at school, their first time on a bike, potty training, dance classes, T-Ball games, etc and I just can't wait to be a part of all that. They are the most precious thing I have in my life and I want nothing but happiness for them. Oh, how I love them.

A Plea From One Mother to Another

It's a simple request really ... but what do you do with 19 month olds during the day to fight boredom?? Obviously, money is key, and I'm by myself with the two-some so some activities aren't as easy but surely, there has to be something! Right now the munchkins still want to eat the crayon I give them (even in those cute little Crayola gripper toy things), would look at Play-Doh as a treat, and don't sit long enough for me to read them a book. Anyone have ANY ideas? Did your kids like to do something that held their attention? Mess or no mess, doesn't bother me, so I'm open to any ideas anyone is willing to throw out there!

A Very Important Meeting

In Daddy's Shoes...In Daddy's Arms

A Great Moment...

I happened to catch this picture while waiting at a red light with my cell phone. (Jadon's hand on the left and Elliot's on the right) This makes my heart melt.

I promise you...he's a really sweet boy:

The start of my 29th year...

Yesterday I celebrated the 28th anniversary of the day I was expelled from my mothers uterus. Kind of gross, but oh so true. Okay, so I'm 28, but technically, as of today, I'm starting the 29th year of my life. (Take a few seconds to think about that one!) At any rate...I had a great day. It started out with a helium filled balloon tied to my nightstand (in the tradition of my parents) and a gift, then that night, we dined al fresco at Tia Rosas (Yum!!) with the majority of my family there. Big thanks to Aaron for his effort on my behalf, and thanks to my family for joining (we missed you A&JJ and T.L.P.M&L) I'll show you what I got on my cake blog in a week or so.... Here's a few photo-ops of the night.

And Baby Makes....Birth Control!

This weekend, we had the fortunate experience of watching my sister Kristy's baby girl, Makenzie (6 weeks). Kristy and William spent Saturday at Disneyland and came home Sunday morning. Makenzie was great and such a doll, but let me just say a few things: 1) Me+twins+dogs+newborn=Chaos! 2) I think this weekend solidified us not procreating again - but are still all for adoption someday. And 3) I have a deep and sincere admiration for parents with two or more children of different ages! You baffle, but amaze me on how you do it. For the record...twins are a cinch in comparison! Thanks Kris for the opportunity to feed my 'Baby Vibe' need! I'm full now! =)


Elliot sure loved having a 'Bye-Bie' in the house though and took every opportunity to rock and kiss Makenzie! Very cute!
