Its the Most Wonderful time of the Year!

Seriously.... December 1st already! My oldest will be 6! SIX!!! In 3 short weeks. Melancholy sets in, once again. The itch for another baby needs to be scratch or needs a STRONG ointment! Life is change a ton over the last few years. Both Girls are in school, we can rest easier, travel more, and We laugh a lot! Evelyn is enjoying Kindergarten and is getting great reports from Her teacher. Grace loves Teacher Diane and Jo in Pre K and is bringing home a lot of great pieces of art.

I love to compare the Santa photo's as a true testament to how much They have grown. I have to do it once again, show ALL the past photos with the BIG MAN and then Todays! Happy Holiday's to ALL! Here we go.

SUMMER FUN & Evelyn takes 1st place.

School's officially out for Summer and we had 1 day with nothing going and now we are ready for TBall and Summer camps. The Girls are playing T ball on the same team with all their Girlfriends, should be funny to say the least. Next week they are both going to Cooking camp, and then they are each signed up for one more camp later in the summer (Grace Princesses, Cowboys and Pirates and Evelyn Petshop Pals). We are back at swim on Saturdays. Keeping just the right amount of busy.

Last weekend Evelyn was awarded 1st place at the Shoreline Art Festival (K-3 2D). We are very proud of her and she is loving the art kit she won.

PartyLite is kicking off ONLINE SHOPPING on Tuesday the 6th. We are VERY excited about this. Check it Out!

Happy 4th Birthday to Grace

Wow... I have been a major slacker! Hard to believe I havent posted anything since New Years! Its April 23rd!!! Grace turns 4 today at 6:08pm! This morning we woke up and she came in our bed to snuggle as usual and after a few minutes I whispered "Happy Birthday" to her. She got a big smile and said "Its today? Is today My Birthday?", then we were all up! She had her 4 year wellness the other day and is still very tall and doing very well. She was 42 inches tall and 44 1\2 lbs! We talked some with the Ped about her thumb sucking and how we are going to help her kick the habit.

I have been keeping very busy between these Girls and selling PARTYLITE I am doing well with it and loving it!

Enjoy our newest photo's, taken just this week.

Happy New Year! 2009 .... REALLY?

I hope this finds everyone enjoying 2009. Is it true that its been 9 years since the whole Y2K worry? 9 years since Steve and I bought and moved into our house, spending New Years Eve home to stay safe and sound, just in case. 8 years since Steve proposed to me, hanging a mini bag from the Christmas tree with a ring tucked inside. 12 years since Steve and I met, 1 night out celebrating Christmas with Friends at McFinsters... me 'picking' him up with some cheesy line. Has it really been 5 years that Evelyn has been in our life.... ? She was due December 24, 2003... I went into labor in the early hours of the 20th and she was born at 2:28am on the 21st of December. The month of December has brought many milestones for Steve and I, many, many memories. This Christmas was just as fun if not more. The Girls are at an incredible age, full of magic and belief, innocence and true surprise. We had a great Christmas and a fabulous New Year. We went to the lake with the Gerbers, Kenny and Sabra. Taking the kids along to play in the snow. They both stayed up until after midnight sledding off the porch. We pray that 2009 is great for all, full of happiness and HEALTH!

Photo's- Evelyn today (Jan 20- Inauguration Day 2009) at the zoo, Grace also Jan 20th, same day Girls at the zoo checking out some ducks, Girls with Kayli & Gary Gerber at the lake... lots of snow.... got snowed in when the pass closed for avalance control, and Evelyn making a snow angel right before her birthday.

Maui 2008 - Halloween in Lahaina!

Aloha, we spent 10 days on Maui recently and had a fabulous time! We were there for Halloween, which I admit was a hard for Me, I really love doing Halloween at home but this was Fun! Lahaina does a Mardi Gras style celebration for Halloween, they call it the "Mardi Gras of the Pacific". Great costumes and lots of fun. I can't post too many photo's of it as this is our "family" blog... most of the pictures are a little riskay. The Girls dressed up as Tink (Evelyn) and Sleeping Beauty (Grace) we saw a fun parade and trick or treated the stores on Front Street. They had a great time with all the kids in costume. The party began when it got dark and then all the Disney princesses went to Grandma's and Front Street started to look a little like the French Quarters.

The rest of our trip was spent on the beach, at the pool, sipping on yummy drinks, snorkeling, body surfing, boogy boarding, chasing turtles and throwing back shots of tequila (Just the adults of course). The Girls had a great time too! Here are some photos. We traveled with My Mom, Step Dad, Brother, Sister in law, Nephew Tyler and Friend Aaron.. A few other friends were there as well, our trips only overlapped a few days, so I didn't see them much. My Family is great to travel with.

Cousins

I am playing catch up on the blog tonight. In October we took the Kids in for photo's. I really liked how they came out and we had some fun with them too. Here is Tyler (6 months old), Grace (3 1\2 years old) and Evelyn (2 months before her 5th Birthday). The Girls (including this Girl) love Tyler, he is such a sweet Boy...
