Isn't She Sweet?

New Adventures @ Our Park

This past week was a "big" week for Nicolas as far as parks go. He seemed fearless and did all of the things he was always reluctant to do. He did the 3 story tube slide (he is actually in the tube in this picture!), climed to the top of the rope climber and scaled the rock wall...all by himself! Yeah for BiG boys!!

Grocery Store Fun!

Nicolas and Purple Dinosaur always keep me laughing with their silly dances to the upbeat tunes playing in the store. Sure makes shopping less painful! :)

They Are Growing So Fast!

I can't believe Nicolas is almost 4 (in May) and that Madison is 7 months old and can sit in a shopping cart all by herself! Where did the time go?

A What?

I was at a meeting at the local golf course...and look what was walking around the parking lot! There were 8 of them wandering around like they couldn't remember where they parked!

1st Food for Madi!!

Ok, got my cool new chair...


Got my toys and I am happy...


What do we have here?


MMMMM...bite!


Uh...seriously? Could this taste any worse?

Who me? Jealous??

Who is Jealous??


She got her smile in!


All that for a silly picture!

Christmas in a Nutshell

Decorating the tree...this happened just about every day until the tree was gone.


Can't forget the angel!


A visit from Santa...Nicolas misunderstood and ran off mad because he thought Santa forgot to bring his Pirate ship...no Nicolas, this is just a visit!


Making Christmas Cookies! Yummy!






Twas the night before Christmas...


1st Look...Santa!












What a smile...

Photo Op in the Sunroom

Once again Elena took some wonderful pictures of our girls in her beautiful sun room. Madi and Paloma are 11 days apart. They both broke their 1st tooth on this very day in the beginning of December. (note the constant hand in mouth) They are adorable aren't they?

Nicolas and Eva joined in the fun...thank you again Elena!

OK...Let's Catch Up.

So I was doing really well with my Blog posts for awhile. I was actually quite proud of myself for sticking to it!

Then came the holidays, sickness and more sickness and then just when I thought I would get my nights back...Madi decided to start teething!

So, 4 teeth later...here I am. I have pictures dating back to before Christmas that I need to post. (I have had some requests!) So please bear with me while I do a little bit of catching up.

So, the first week of December we made a family trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! It was the 1st time for Nicolas and Madi. It had been 10+ years for us too. What a blast! We met our good friend Yvonne, her daughter Riley and Yvonne's mom Elsie. We had such a great time together. I really wish Yvonne lived closer. It really made me realize how much I miss her!

We went on a ton of rides. Nicolas loved Dumbo and Pirates the best. We did both several times. Madi has been on Pirates 3 times now...and she doesn't even know it! :)


It's A Small World all dressed up for Christmas!


Madi enjoying the view in her official Disney Stroller!


Chins up while posing...no double chins! Lol!


Elsie, Yvonne and Riley at Playhouse Disney


Just what every 3yr old needs at Disneyland! Oh the mess!


You have no idea what it took to get them both looking at the camera!


Had to do it! Too cute!


I had no idea going around in circles could be so much fun!


Dumbo...for the 100th time!
