Little Trip to the San Tan

We went to San Tan Mall last week to let the kids play, get an ice cream cone, and check out Tinkerbell's.

My girls cheesin it up for me.

Then, I went out to dinner with some friends i hadn't seen in months. We went to Oregano's. It was only my second time, and i discovered how cheap and delicious their salads were, yum.

Well, Happy Valentine's Day to you!

Tori's face cracks me up, my little poser. Of course I had to make some kind of Valentine skirt for her school Valentine party. I didn't get one with Taylor wearing hers though. Probably because Taylor and I didn't get ready till about noon that day. I ended up watching three two year olds that morning.

They sure are cute, but very busy. I could never have triplets and be sane :).

Here's daddy and his girl.

So this is a picture from Saturday night before Valentines Day. We all went out to eat and then went laser tagging. I was skeptical about going since i hadn't been in a decade, but it turned out to be really fun. It's funny how your adrenaline can get going running around a room trying to not get shot.

Happy Valentine's Day!

So on Sunday we went to my family's house and were surprised by the fun decor. Katie went all out!

One of my dad's cute posters. :)

So my dad thought it would be funny to come out wearing my mom's hot pink satin shirt to add to the decor. (please don't do that again :) hee hee).

Taylor showing off a carrot she later chews up and spits out.

My mom made the best dinner. Roast, garlic mashed potatoes, and Katie made an awesome salad and some festive homemade heart rolls.

More of the gang.

So I leave my dad alone with my kids and a bunch of diapers and this is what you get.

Give a Day Get a Day!

Disney this year is offering a Give a Day, Get a Day, where you do some kind of service and then receive a free Disney Land ticket. So we all signed up for the children's blankets. As part of the process you had to get pics of you all making the blankets and send them in. It was actually a fun time with us all making blankets together. Disney Land here we come!!!!

Oh Poo,

Isn't she just scrumptous! I love this little girl. She has fully blossomed into such a big personality. Yesterday, I was pulling weeds outside with the girls. I find it very theraputic...but no I won't come pull your weeds. Anyways, out of the corner of my eye I see Taylor rubbing something on the bark of the tree. And a couple of minutes later I hear Tori ask me what that stuff is that Taylor is playing with. So then I look a little closer and want to puke because she thought she was playing with mud I guess, but instead kept going back to a pile of poop in the grass. She thought it was theraputic too, to rub it all over the tree. So sick!!! And to make it worse I had to make lunch right after that. I washed my hands like 10 times, but still felt like they were too dirty to eat with.

Taylor loves to tease Tori, or makes funny exaggerated faces at us all the time. The cutest thing she doe slately is winks at us. She has now mastered both eyes. The daycare ladies at the gym LOVE for her to wink, and tell me that she is such a riot. Poor Tori still can't get it down.:)

Now to this little crazy kid. My little Tori has become the best helper. She cleans her room and makes her bed without me telling her to do it. Just yesterday her and Taylor made a mess on the wood floor with water colors and books. A little bit later I noticed it was all put away and she even got a napkin wet and wiped up the floor. I'm so happy to know that maybe Taylor will stop trashing the house someday and help me clean it instead :). Happy Super Bowl Day!!!

Hello Christmas Morning...

So it's been almost a month since I last posted. I finally cleaned my house after all the holidays festivities and therefore didn't have time to blog :). So we went to Brett's parents house in California for Christmas this year and had so much fun. His oldest sister Kristell and her family also stayed at Brett's parents house with us. It makes it so much fun to have them their with us because Tori is in "cousin heaven."

So Brett's dad set up the dining attire again in the garage/kids playroom.

His dad also turned their backyard into a miniture golfcourse. Brett spent most of his time there :).

Taylor was lovin it.

The kids loved playing skeet ball and making a mess out there.

Here's my cute nephew Cole, the only boy out of 10 grandkids. Poor guy.

Tori, Kennady, and Kensley.

Here are all of Brett's siblings: His sister Cammie and Sean

His sister Theresa and Brady.

His Brother Cory, Camie, and Kobie.

And his sister Kristell and Luke.

Brett's cute parents.

Brett and his Grandma Lorraine.

Here is Tori's "Cousin Heaven." Can you tell which side of the family she comes from. Bailey the oldest who is holding her looks like she could be her older sister.

Here's Theresa's cutie pie, Lily.

And of course Santa came and brought everyone P.J.'s.

Taylor was absolutely in love with Santa. She could not get enough of him. Every chance she got she would throw her arms around him.

Deer in headlight shot, love it. And yes I sometimes let my kids watch Spongebob, don't judge me. Taylor loves him a little too much. Had to get her these and she screeched with joy.
