America's Next Top Model?

My mom and dad bought the girls a giant Fashion Show tent for their birthday. It is big enough that all 3 girls can stand up inside and make "clothing changes" It has a red carpet catwalk in the front. They were sooooo excited! We got out the boom box and put on the High School Musical 3 CD and had our own little show. I was the paparazzi taking pictures. It was quite an experience.

The best part was watching them strike a pose. The twins weren't quite sure what to do. P was a natural and was coaching them the whole time.

The "tent" is still up in my front room. So, if anyone feels the need to practice their catwalk skills, come on over.

4th Birthday

The twins turned 4!
I can't believe it. We had their party at a fun gymnastics place where they could run, be loud and, have fun.

The girls and Tallon, their best friend. They are in the same class at church and they go to school together. It also helps that his mom and I are great friends too. We will be so sad when they move. Who will we go to chick filet with?

I made the frosting for the cupcakes. Apparently the girls do not like strawberry, oops! I don't think they ate the cupcakes.

The girls got "big girl bikes" for their birthday. They look so cute riding around. M took a spill on the first corner and has not been back on the bike since.

E is fearless. She loves going fast. She has fallen many times and just gets right back on.

Shae and JR's Wedding

Shae and JR got married September 25, 2009. They were sealed in the Newport Beach Temple.

Everything was beautiful! They are a great couple.

Bill and "the dude" just hanging out. The dude is sporting his totally hip tuxedo bib-fashionable yet functional. He slept most of the night, so that was nice.

The reception was held on a yacht that sailed through Newport Harbor. I was the matron of honor and the girls were flower girls. Bill was a good sport and kept track of the kids while I did my sisterly duties.

The girls and Baboo Sherwood (grandpa). Maddy and Baboo were dancing machines!
It was a great day.

Lake Havasu -Bill's Birthday

For Bill's birthday we took the boat to Lake Havasu. We rented a house and had a great time.

Mr Bill, 37 years old, and his younger wife :)

Miss P lost her tooth right before the trip. A few days later she lost the other top tooth.

The dude was such a good sport on the trip. It was so hot we had to put him in the water. He LOVED it! He is squeezed in that life jacket.

M jumping of the cliffs-the girls were soooo brave!

Mr Bill jumping off the highest cliff-he is crazy!

We had a great time just playing in the water-did I mention it was HOT!

Just relaxing in the tube. Later that day Bill took Maddy in the tube-they fell out and she was NOT happy!

Emery was the first one off the cliff

Tiny P-nice form

First Day of School

School started for the girls. I LOVE the beginning of school. I always have. I love school supplies, all the pens, paper, markers, crayons and folders. It was so much fun to shop for all the stuff. I think I enjoyed it more than the girls.

P is in second grade this year. Her teacher is Mrs. Silverman. P likes her so far.
She said "she is strict but she has a treasure chest."

Some of the cute girls in her class.

E & M on their first day.

Second year of pre-school. Their teacher is Mrs. Aguirre, they love her. When I picked them up they told me they did not get any time outs. The teacher did tell me that they beat each other up. I figure it is better that they pick on each other instead of another kid. :)

The Dude-5 months

The Dude is now 5 months old. He is about the size of a 9 month old!
He has started eating rice cereal-yum!

He is the drooling machine-we go through multiple bibs a day. He rolls over to his stomach but can't get back. He also screams like a girl-hopefully that will change by the time he goes to school. :)

Happy Birthday

My dad-August 2nd, my grandpa-July 19th and I-July 18th celebrated our birthdays together. We had lots of family there, we had a great time.

Dad 63- Grandpa Lyle 88- Me 35

Dave, Breezy, Wyatt, Tiny P and Mr Bill

Shae and JR-newly engaged-the night before

Pat Pat and Maddy and Emery-they are reading the Very Hungry Caterpillar-the twins LOVE that book, Pat Pat hates it because for some reason we have the GIANT size version and it is difficult to hold the big book and the girls.
