Valentine's Day

The girls have been excited about Valentine's Day for a long time. This morning they got ready for school in record time. They knew there was going to be a party and mommy was helping host. I show up for the party and the all kids were so excited. The party went well.

Melted crayon hearts for the kids-these turned out great!

Wes came for the party too. The girls were so surprised to see their daddy there. They loved it! I'm glad that I helped out.

A Week with Grandma and Papa

This past week, the girls spent with Grandma and Papa.When we celebrated Grandma Susie, the girls went home with Grandma and Papa. They spent a couple of days with them and then I came up to spend a couple more days. So, I got a bit of a break and the girls got to spend time with family. We all had fun and the girls were spoiled.For their Valentine's Day present, Grandma and Papa got them Rapunzel dresses. Lizzie and Gracie loved them! They wore them a lot and even took them to bed with them. The girls also altered "Momma and Sweetie" to "Grandma and Sweetie". So funny.

Happy 87th Grandma

Today, we celebrated my Grandma's birthday. We spent the moving her furniture around for her. We were all exhausted but it was good to see her. The girls were really loving on her which I know grandma loved.

Yoga Week

This week was all about yoga. On Monday, we had dinner with my teacher, Shanon, and some of my yoga friends. Tuesday, we tried some yoga at home. The girls were too busy showing me poses to pay attention to what I wanted them to do. Wednesday, was kids yoga with Cheryl. The girls love her. Thursday, I taught my first private lesson to my friend Amy. I had so much fun and Amy was an awesome student.

Snowflake Festival 2012

Every year, my twin group has a play date in the winter at Paradise Pond called the Snowflake Festival. Today, we had blast playing with all our friends. In the past, I have been exhausted afterwards because I was chasing the girls around. This year was different, the girls are big enough that they can do everything by themselves. I got to have several conversations with the other moms!

The girls played so hard (did I mention that we had a birthday party to go to first) that they took a nap without issues. It was a full morning but fun.

How Do We Spend A Friday Night?

This has been a crazy week. Wes spent the week in Mexico City and Guadalajara and we spent the week here. I'm always stressed while he is gone. He got back last night. Yay!

Tonight we had thrilling family night of Chinese food and Target. We tried a new restaurant and it was pretty good. The girls love lo mien and call it spaghettis. I love watching them try chopsticks.

It was a good moment. One that reminded you that life was good and to be grateful for your blessings. I am truly grateful for what I have.

Their New Obsession

Over Christmas, the girls discovered the phone and the many games they can play. Lizzie is always asking to play on it. They are getting better about sharing but it still takes some work.
