60 wonderful Years

This weekend we had the great opportunity to go to Thatcher for the weekend to see my grandparents while they celebrated their 60 wedding anniversary. We had a great time with all of the family that came.
We had a program at the church with lots of tears and songs. They are really an amazing example to me.
My mom and I picked out some material to make dresses for the girls...and she made some for them while we were there. These cute princess dresses. Here is our mother's day shot for her....just a little late. :)








Here are all of the girls singing....."I am Leona's Grandaughter, the spitting image of my mother and when the day is done, my grandpie's still me biggest fan, sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy, but my cousins still love me, and they know just where I stand, It's all apart of me, and that's who I am." Remember that song from 10 years ago...?





My family is really so important to me and I love being around everyone. It's so great that we are so close.














Oh and stay tuned for a post about girls camp ( I leave on Wed....YIPEE!!)....and I won the lottery!!! You'll have to wait and see what I won!!

Enjoying the last days of spring

We had a nice cool breeze last night so we spent the evening outside. I just love being with my little ones when they are happy and sweet. Whenever they are outside they think they have to be naked. They love p;aying in the sprinklers and in the kiddie pool, but it was too cold. So we prented to sleep....









And I got out my camera to try this new thing. It's called AF Continuous and you hold it as you are shooting and you can click super fast.
I have had this picture in my head for a while. It didn't quite turn out, but I still love these... I wish I wouldn't have blown out the sky so you could see the blue with the clouds.








And of course we had to jump on our tramp....and I brought my camera along....doug said, "Remember how much it costs!!!"


He was home for about an hour until he had to go back to work. He has been working like 15 hour days and loving it. It's hard on me and the girls but it's only for a few short months.


I just love these pictures and want to remember these cute moments with no diapers, crusty dinner food on their faces, and having a great time in our dirty backyard!

In just 7 days.....

Girls Camp will be here!! For months and months I have been helping to plan girls camp....I am so excited that it is almost here. It has definatly been an amazing spiritual experiance just planning and I can't wait to see everything unfold!!
Here are some pics from last year......me with my friends....and gross Sister Davis!




Our theme this year is Sweet is the work. And the stake staff call themselves the peeps....too fun!!



And here is a little story about yesterday....we were at the mall playing at the playplace....they both decided to run away at the same time. They think it is so fun and just giggle and run fast. One ran to the jewerly store and the other ran in the opposite direction into Sears. I was running so fast after A and picked her up and ran to get L.
It really scares me that they can get taken or lost....so you know me....I went and bought these....(The Elmo $5.00 version at Wallyworld)

If they choose to run away they get to be harnessed. I feel a little bad but with 2 what am I to do?

My day......

Started like this....along with some happy mother's singing from my sweeties.

then a little nap....Church....

and then this....Stuffed pork tenderloin with twice baked potatoes.

YUM!

Many hugs and kissses were shared and I didn't even change one diaper or wash one dish. My sweetie makes me feel so special...and I got to do my favorite thing!!

Get some cute pics of my little ones!!





Trying out a new vintage film action.....what do you think?




I hope all of my special friends and family felt loved and special too....because all of you are special to me.

Happy Mother's Day MOM!

My mom came and stayed with me for 3 weeks when the girls were born. I would sleep and she would take care of them....I coudn't have done it without her!


My mom is such a special person in my life. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father sent me to her. She is so kind, fun, friendly, giving, patient, hard-working, loving, compassionate and many more things. My life would not be the same without her. I love you MOM!!
Hope your day is perfect!
I need to take some more recent pictures of her and the girls...here are some from when the girls were little.

Birthday Festivities

We had a great birthday weekend. It started on Friday....I babysat Ma's kids and the girls one by one took off their diapers and wanted big girl panties...they just looked so cute and big I had to take a picture. Of course they all had accidents and we were back in diapers soon after this picture. But Liv seems to be getting it and did all her poops on the potty today. Fun....





That night we went out on a date. My sweet sis-in-law Ali watched the girls. We went to the amazing Cafe Rio and got a salad...YUMMIE!! We then did a little shopping and went and saw "Ironman" which was good. It's so fun to be together and walk around holding hands with my lovie.




I know this looks crazy but I LOVE Crocks!! I started wearing them when I was preggo with the girls and had to buy myself some new sandals for my b-day. And the black pair next to the sandals were on clearance so I bought those too. The styles are getting cuter don't you think? Anyways they are my fav!!


This is my present from Doug. I came home from Thatcher a few weeks ago and Doug had redone my kitchen table. I bought this material like a year ago and have been talking about re-upholstering(sp) my chairs for a while. Well he surprised me with new stain and beautiful new chairs. So sweet. That's just like Doug to listen to what I am saying and then do it! This is my b-day and mother's day present. I love it!




Here we are on our actual b-day. Me and the girls had just awoke from a nice nap and earlier in the day we made doug his favorite cake. Jello cake~ yum! Doug had to work and I wasn't feeling well but the day ended up great. Our friends Eric and Alicia brought us some gifts and ice cream. Yay for a fun weekend.



YAY for another year of health and happiness!!

San Tan Splash Park

Don't you love his expression? So cute!




The other day we met my Sister-in-law Christi and one of her sons and at the San tan splash park at the San Tan mall. It was a little cold and I forgot towels....doh!! I had to go buy some $10 towels at the Disneystore....oh well. We had a great time with our cute cousin Jonah. It was fun and free and we will go check it out again this summer....anyone want to come with us?
