A New Year

We brought in the New Year watching the Trojans of course. Well most of it. The girls and I snuck off and went to a movie. We saw Bedtime Stories and loved it. Josh's brother Adam and friend Jeff were in town to watch the rest of it with Josh. We missed the Rose Parade, that was down the street. How lame is that? But we managed to make it to Saladang's and Squeeze and Scoop the next day. You can't visit us without getting frozen yogurt with us there. It's our fav.

Christmas in Palm Springs

So this is pretty typical for me. I'm over a month behind. What are you gonna do? We had an awesome Christmas at my parents in Palm Springs. Well besides the sickness. Christmas day my mom and two sisters ( Jes and Amanda) threw up all day. Sad. I didn't get alot of pictures and now I look back on it and think there was so much more I could have gotten pics of. Like maybe a family pic by the tree. Duh. But here is what I did get.

Sydney with her stocking. Her favorite part of the morning.
Santa brought her doll! The only thing she asked for, but it was missing a shoe. It was the only doll left. That's what happens when you procrastinate :)

The twins on Christmas morn.

My mom got us this really cool dish/bowl thing.
(I just put this in cuz it's such a random picture. I don't know why he posed like that)

Sydney got this "thing" for her dad. I call it a thing cause I have no idea what the purpose of it is. It's a blue plastic shark...? It was so sweet though. She wrapped it herself and put it under the tree for him. She loves him so much.

Ellie took a nap with Grandpa on Nicki's new bean bag. So sweet.

Sydney and Mckenna helped Jacob open his present,
and then played with it for him. Such big helpers. (Poor Jacob)

Ellie slept through all the festivites and appeared to be very sad about it.
I love how her stocking is as big as she is.

Tired baby

This was as good as our Christmas pics got...pathetic, I know. (Ellie agrees)

So when we got home I tried to get another pic of the girls by the tree...as you can see this was a complete disaster. No one was working with me. Not even my camera. At least I tried, right?

Daddy and his girls
Merry Chrismas!...until next year.

So far behind

It's been a while since I have blogged because I am having too much fun with these sweet girls.(I am so in love with them) Another big blog update will come soon...I hope.

She giggled!

Just when we thought she couldn't get any cuter, she starts giggling. She was in her bouncy chair kind of fussing so Josh picked her up. She made the saddest face like she was going to start crying and then all the sudden she started laughing. I don't think she knew what she was doing. It just came out, but she kept doing it. I ran and grabbed my camera and got most of it on film. She's 11 weeks old.

Paulette's Picture

My friend Paulette was in town for Sydney's birthday and she took some pictures of us and my brothers family. These are a couple of my favorites. Thanks Paulette! She took some pictures of Ellie when she was 3 weeks old but I couldn't download them, so when I figure it out I will put them up.

Sydney's Birthday

She's 5!
Happy Birthday Sydney!

Birthday dinner at BJ's. The pizzookie's were so good.

The Primary Christmas party was on her birthday, so she got to see Santa.

Josh played playstation with Sydney for hours the night before her birthday. He is so sad she is growing up. He told her that they had to stay up all night so her birthday wouldn't come the next day. She had to inform him that that would not work and she would still have a birthday. So sad our baby is growing up.

Ellie rocked her Twilight shirt to the premiere ( made by Natalie Howe- so cute)
