Skye & River

I thought I would give River & Skye some equal picture space today. As you can tell River has also warmed up to Lucy. SHe now pets her thru the gates and loves to feed her.
Go USA!!!!!

I wonder if this invisibility cloak really works? I'll go sneak up & see if I can steal some more toys from the "others".

Alright Dada! I feel the need! The need for speed! GO! GO! GO! WEEEEEEE~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Who knew an empty box of diapers could be sooo much fun. All of the girls got an equal ride, but how could you resist the obvious pure joy on Skye's face?

I'm outa here!

JuJu & Rayne

I thought I would post some pictures of these two. They have become quite the "buddies" lately. First are a few of Rayne. She LOVES to put her Elmo chair on the couch, then sit in it to watch tv (preferrably Elmo!). Of course this usually ends up in some sort of dispute and Elmo back on the floor. Poor Elmo!
I'm ready for my close-up! Come on, let me get closer!
You're right Rayne, this is definitely the best spot to watch TV! Let's not tell the others!
No problem! It's our secret!

I want on the chair too! Let me up!!!!

I'm on the chair! I'm on the chair! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAA!

Nana's! (aka banana's)

Urech Olympics! First up, JuJu on the "even" bars.......

Pictures from the Birthday Party!

I thought I would share some of the photos from Beau's Birthday dinner last night. One of the things that made it so special is that it was the first time we sat and ate as a family! We usually feed the girls in their high chairs, and then we eat much later. So, for Beau's birthday, I got some booster seats, floor mats, and new table cloth, and we all ate in the dining room. (Which now looks fabulous since Noni Venetian plastered the walls!!!!) It went really well and the girls really enjoyed it. Lucy had a great time assisting with the clean-up also. Thanks, LuLu!
JuJu to add to the birthday present giving, took 17 steps with NO assistance! Yeah JuJu! She is so close to walking. As with most things, it will be on HER terms! Gee, I wonder where she got that from? THanks to everyone for all of the well wishes you left for Beau.

Did she get more than me? Her plate looks bigger !


Mash potatoes! I LOVE mash potatoes! Good choice Dada!
A game of peek-a-boo broke out at mid-meal. River also joined in. I will only say that this did lead to alittle extra "clean-up".
Seriously? Do you ever stop taking pictures? Can we not eat in peace here???? Did you get Daddy's permission? It is his party!



Why is my crown over there? Don't they know I"m the princess??? Oh, and I hope I get some of that yummy loooking cake!

My crown! I AM the Princess now!

She gets a hat too? I thought I was the only Princess at this party!?! Hmm!

Mmmmmm, this is really good! This is definitely an upgrade from that other room. They are finally getting that I'm an adult, just in alittle body.


Yeah! So when is the next party???? Make sure there is cake and LOTS of icing!!!!

And a GOOD TIME WAS HAD BY ALL!!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!

Happy Birthday to the most wonderful husband, father and friend! I am truly blessed by your presence in my life and I know the girls fee the same way. I wish you the happiest of day today!

Yes, Daddeeee, I really am ready for my own car.

This truly is the only way to try and vacuum if they the Girls are up!
With this magic pencil, I'm off to write the next best novel and sign the autographs of all of my adoring fans!
Don't worry Mom, I'm keeping a watch on him. I won't let him miss a spot. When he is done, can we eat again? Birthday cake of course!

Thank-you's!!!!

I have alot of thank-you's and updates. First a HUGE thank-you to my parents for watching the girls while Beau & I spent a weekend in LaJolla, CA for a beautiful wedding. We had a fabulous time touring the area, eating out, and just spending time with each other. I forgot how much fun we could have together, even if it was just driving around. The Girls had so much fun with my parents that they still are asking for Noni & Pop-pop. My nieces and my brother also came in town to play with the girls while we were gone. I really don't think they noticed we were gone. From what I hear, they wer have way to much fun! Thanks Travis, Kayla, & Alexis for helping out. Hopefully I'll get to see you on the next visit!
Also, thanks for all of the well wishes with the a/c. Dallas Plumbing had it back up & running within a couple of days. We got put on a waiting list, and ended up getting fixed the next morning! Thank God!

It is amazing though how much the girls grew over just 4 days. They are talking soooo much more, even JuJu, and the clarity in their words is great. Of course, "more", "tv", "bubbles", and "eat, eat" are the main words.
I will try and update more on each of the girls later, but I thought you would enjoy the pictures.
Also, thanks to Yaya (Aunt Natasha), for her guest blogging. River & Skye were both asking for Yaya today.

Hey Daddy, I can almost fill your shoes! (JuJu is thinking, "yeah, right! Mine turn!").

We're chillin'. Boy this episode of Elmo has got to be the best. Yes, I really like the production lighting in this sequence. Oh, me too. Do you think we can get a refill on these drinks?


I'm styling. Ballet anyone?
Now this is what needs to be on 24/7. Enough said!


I'm cute!
Now this is relaxing! My Elmo chair in the ball pit, could it be any better?

This was the last of our Kindermusik class that the girls really enjoyed. Mom & Dad stayed alittle longer just to go with us to class (and help me out ALOT!). We will hopefully take more of the classes in the fall.<
