Merry Christmas 2011!!!!:)))

I'm FINALLY getting around to doing a Christmas post,and the pics will probabably be in no real order after the post!:) December goes by SO fast for us it feels like! With the twins b-days and the holidays,it seems to fly by!!! We headed up to Island Park for Christmas weekend to spend it w my parents and Kevin,Ashley and the kids. We love being up there in all the snow for Christmas! The twins were SUCH a blast this year, they were SOOO into everything Christmas! Luke was dressed as Santa for weeks before Christmas and is STILL dressing up daily,begging Mia to be Mrs. Clause and begging me,Trav,my mom,or any willing participant to be Rudolph! haha! It's hilarious and I'm just wondering how long it's going to go on!! He says he wants to be Santa for Halloween......and I'm actually thinking he's serious and won't change his mind!At least he's original I guess right????;)) We do the Elf on the Shelf every year to and it was PURE JOY every morning for a month when they'd get up and try and find where "Christopher" the elf was, they were bummed on Christmas morning (after all the gifts)of course to realize that Christopher had to "go back" to the North Pole again w Santa and we'd see him again around Thanksgiving next time:)))It was so cute to watch them each leave a special plate of food out for Santa and one for the reindeers,and shocked the next morning when all the food was gone:)We did alot of eating and snowmobiling and sledding! It was a great time! So thankful for my fabulous parents for always going all out for us.....and having to clean up the HUGE MESS after we all leave!!ha!The twins also had a blast at their school Christmas party,Miss Becky does the cutest stuff w them and they LOVE it there! They made the cutest little handprint canvases on ribbon to give to me and Trav for Christmas! Hope everyone had a Happy Holidays!!!:)))

Happy 4th B-day Twinners!!!:)))

I canNOT believe my babies turned 4 this month! Time is flying!! They are the sweetest,funniest,cutest best friends I could ask for!! Me and Trav are so lucky and blessed to have them!!:))) of course they were spoiled rotten by family and friends most of December and then it's Christmas ,so they literally think they get presents for a month!ha! They were so cute and appreciative of everything they got! Things didn't change much as far as cakes went from last year,Luke is STILL in love w Toy Story anything and Mia still princesses,although I did manage for her to pick a special princess, so she picked Ariel:) They are getting so big and are so sweet to each other,they really hate being apart! Their doing great at preschool and Mia is loving dance! I'm loving seeing them come out of their shells lately and become more outgoing and less shy!:) Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate w us,and I'm hoping the next 4 years don't go as fast!:(

Suzy Snowflake!!:)))

The cutest little Suzy Snowflake I've ever seen:)))) My little princess had her very first dance recital a few weeks ago,and I was seriously the proudest,happiest mama in the whole world! Of course when I knew I was having a girl I secretly prayed she'd LOVE dance as much as I did,and lukcily so far she does,ha!;) She joined Infinity this year and is having a wonderful time and her teacher Miss Sam is amazing w the 3yr old little girls! Anyone that knows Mia knows she is definitley on the shy side,(I have no idea where she gets that from w me as her mother);) I was so nervous when she got on to that HUGE stage and an audience FULL of people she might freeze! But there she was front and center and did the whole dance as cute as can be!!!:)))I think it's always helped that she has her good friends Hailey Jane and Sophie in her class to:) We were all so proud!! She can't wait for her spring recital now!!:))))

Family pics-2011!!

We did our yearly fall family pics again this year w Tyra and as always she did a GREAT job at making us look good!!!;))))Thanks again Tyra!!:) It was a perfect Fall day and the leaves were beautiful!!And most importantly the twins were happy and in good "picture taking moods"!!! ha!:) Enjoy!!

Trick or Treat!!!!

I'm running behind but really wanted to post some Halloween pics! The twins were Woody and Jessie and they had a blast this year!!! Luke is still in costume almost everyday,his love of Woody and all things Toy Story is going on 2 years now,I guess that's a good thing w all the Toy Story stuff we buy! We'll be in trouble when he falls in love w something else!ha!;) Seems like Halloweeen goes on for days! I can't say I was sad to see it go! We did Boo at the Zoo,they had a preschool Halloween party which they loved,and we did the Rimrock Spooktacular this year finally for the first time! ;))We went to some friends houses for delicious food and chili to!Oh and Mia was a cat for her Halloween dance class party,(I didn't want her to ruin her Jessie costume rolling all over the dance floor)My OCD was just to much to allow that!lol! Of course we did the pumpkin patch to!The twins definitely take after their dad because they don't eat any candy really!! Maybe a few random things,so needless to say I tossed it or gave it away,cause I'm the only one in the house who will pick at it....and I don't need to be!!!;)ha! Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween!!!:))))The twins are already talking about what to be next year!;)

Maui-2011!!!:))))

Me and Trav managed to do our yearly Maui trip this year, Trav's been so busy this year I was worried I wasn't gonna get my vacay in!!!!;)ha! But we did AND we had a BLAST! We did decide to stay in Kaanapali this year instead of Wailea or Kihei,and we're so glad we did! We stayed at the new Honua Kai resort and LOVED it! (thanks for the tip Debi);)it was SO wonderful!If anyone is debating where to stay and have done Maui before,let me tell you,to me I liked it better than even the Kea Lani,or the Grand Wailea! Trav was in heaven w the organic market they had,we got to have green smoothies and fresh turkey wraps and eggs and wonderful,amazing food anytime! We also love Dukes in the hotel on the beach and the fact that they fed us poolside almost everyday!!lol! Gotta love fish tacos in Maui right!!!!;) The condo was amazing, the people SO wonderful, and the pools were AWESOME, (trav loved the waterslide SO much)ha!We really just relaxed,snorkeled,paddle boarded,ate,ran on the beach boardwalk in the mornings,and spent a day in Wailea at some of our fav beaches and food spots:) and visited my Aunt and Uncle for dinner at the Five Palms,sunset on the beach!!! :) Had such a nice getaway w my hubby!! We missed the twinners,but it was SO nice to hang w just each other to:) And when we talked to the twins everyday on the phone,they just wanted to tell us what they were doing w Grandma and ask what treats we were bringing them home!ha! We can't wait to take the twins w us.......someday,but for now,we're thoroughly enjoying the alone time each year:)))))And I must say I have the BEST mom EVER to watch them for us each other,she's amazing!!!Thanks mom!!!!xo. Till next year Maui.......:))))p.s we really didn't take a ton of pics,I feel like w out the kiddos w us,there's not much to take pics of!ha! ;)
