Playing Outside

Yeah for summer!  Now we have lots more time to spend together doing the things we want to do.

Olivia would rather be outside than anywhere else.

Such a Silly Girl

Papa's Retirement Party

A few weeks ago Papa retired from the police department.  His colleagues had a celebration for him and the girls and I had a great time there.  We played on the trampoline, had a BBQ, and had cake.  It was a wonderful & relaxing day of celebrating Papa!

Girls Trip

In April Nana & I took our second girls only trip to Monterey.  We spent most of one day playing at Dennis the Menace park.  Another day we played at the beach.  And another day we took a bike ride along the coast on a big family bike.  It was easily one of the funnest things we have done in Monterey.

Mother's Day 2012

Me & the girls

So blessed to be a mommy of these two lovely ladies!!!

Snuggles

This was a Sunday morning recently when we stayed in jammies for most of the day.  The girls wanted to snuggle and watch a movie on their little DVD player. 

Swinging

One of Natalie's birthday gifts from Nana & Papa was a swing for her at their house.  As you can see, she loves it!

Celebrating Charlotte

We got to go to Charlotte's birthday party this weekend.  We love this sweet little girl so much so we were really excited to celebrate her birthday with her family & friends.  Unfortunately I was so busy wrangling the girls at the party that I didn't even get a picture of the birthday girl :( But here are my girls in their cute party hats that Auntie Corinne made.  We had a fun time celebrating Charlotte!
