Makes My Monday

They were 8 months old and I dont know why, but they looked up like something
was there.



KJ always had to be near or touch Mimi.

From Twinfatuation here is what makes my Monday. Im gonna need it this week.

It is more rare than not when they pose for a picture but to say look mom, we love each other is truly a rare event.
They grown up fast.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Its been a busy weekend and I cant believe it is back to work tomorrow. Swimming on Mothers Day.

It started out with a wake up with a card and breakfast in bed then two hungry mouths....I want some. Oh ok how can I resist. I went with my mom, aunt, and grandma to lunch then before I knew it 5:00 already. My oldest said can we go swimming. We know the heater hasnt been turned on yet but sure it has been in the 90's last week. How cold could it be??? Kids dont care but mom was freezing. Luckily I was able to sit next to the pool just in case while they swam like fish in the water. My oldest, good swimmer, my youngest, he is a chicken and only went in 2 steps. My Mimi though, she was in and jumping. However she wore her floaties this time. First time this season in the pool. Before we got out she had taken them off. So in 6 weeks or so, summer vacation and we begin to live at the pool.

Happy moms day to all you mothers out there!!!

WayBack When-esday!

I have to say that the picture at the top of the blog says everything in a thousand words. The craziness of some days and then here is the "calm" picture which says it all too.

Remembering!

Our first profession picture done at a week old. Of course all they did then was sleep! I havent slept good in 3 years, but whos counting.

Our first halloween with big brother the skeleton and onesies for us. After all we were only almost 5 months old. No candy this year.

It only took us a few sleepless nights to figure out they had to sleep close to each other. After all for the last 9 months they were touching each other. We separated them in the crib but then finally figured it out. This is the way they liked to sleep and it never failed KJ always end up holding or touching Emily. They started out during nap time with keeping their hands to theirselves. He so needed her then. Now we can see that they need each other. MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PICTURE OF ALL TIME!!!

Our first easter egg hunt. What we were supposed to put eggs in the basket and not sit on them...OHHHHHH!!

Coming home from the hospital.......3 days old. Watch out everybody!!

I went to Babies R Us to start shopping for Chrissy's twins and I started think back to when the babies were little. Time flies by so fast and Im glad I was able to find some of my favorite pictures from my moms computer since I lost all of mine when my hard drive failed.

I can remember these times but it seems so long ago and everyday is a new day with these two, with the things they say and do as they are learning different things each day!!

Santa Monica pier

Sunset at the Santa Monica pier. A nice ending to a fun time!

My fearless Emily wanted to go on the ferris wheel and everytime it went around she put up her arms like she was on a rollercoaster and yelled out "yeah".

I tried to take good pictures but I was way too scared to take more. Mimi was not afraid one bit.

They both did like this kiddie ride.

KJ didnt want to go near the water.

Emily didnt care how cold the water was she was happy. She wanted to put on a swimsuit.

I wish the beach water wasnt so dirty. I hate getting all that sand all over me. Oh Well. Ill stick to the swimming pool.

Off to see the....Sissy

Baby Kane! Chrissy and Vince are in the background.

Kim and baby Caleb!

Emily and Star taking a break! They played so well together.

During spring break I drove to the Murrietta area to see my friend, Chrissy. she is expecting boy/girl twins.......YEAH! I am so excited for here. I can say that because I have been there done that. We got to see our friend Kim and Caleb (he is too cute) and Chrissy's sister Jamie and her kids, Star and Kane. The kids played and we visited. It was nice to see my old friends. I dont get to see them very often.

Easter 2009

Waiting for the egg hunt to start was oh so hard!

Checking their baskets after the hunt. They actually went into the field while we waiting for the bunny and they were really eating the candy.

Two kids out of three isnt bad I guess.

We went home and colored eggs. This is their first time doing this.

Outside our house in the front for a more personal egg hunt.

Easter started this year with an easter egg hunt at the local city park, just like last year. Nothing different. They put eggs, candy and small toys on a soccer field and by age group they just pick them up. We did wait in line for the easter bunny this year and of course, my scardy cat, KJ said he wanted to sit with him but no. Emily did sit with the bunny and then wanted to give him a hug. It was cute. We had another hunt the on Sunday morn in our grassy area and had dinner with family and friends. Then spring break was officially over and back to work on Monday..............YEAH! (not) The year is so close to being over I can taste it.
