Flower Power

Dear Coco,

thank you for all the goodies you brought back for me from your trip to San Francisco.

I love everything, but my favorite might be the "springy" baking supplies.

Mommy and I had so much fun making the flower cupcakes.

I even wore last year's flower dress that's way to small for me to get into

the spirit of things.

And I love these adorable flower measuring cups.

I also love to lick the spatula clean when mom's busy taking pictures.

See how cute they are?

And they tasted darn good too.

Love,

Keaton Grace

Putting on the Ritz

Quite a day.

Keaton went to gymnastics in the morning (hmmm, left with two shoes).

Played Cinderella and Snow White for most of the afternoon (I deejayed the "Ball").

Did daddy's hair and make-up (asked if this is his life for the next 10 years... and yes, it is).

Then we ate a box of these in one sitting (I hate the inventor, they're addictive).

Our Weather Is Whack

The weather has the girls confused (and well, me too).

One day we are playing in the snow, and eating it too.

The next day we are smelling flowers and chasing lady bugs.

P.S. Can you believe it?!?! Three days in a row posting! Where did I find time to blog all of a sudden you may ask?? Let's just say the cleanliness of my home isn't what it should be.

Cracks me up

For being only 21 months, Reagan is one funny little chicka.

She keeps my laughing daily.

And her Bill Murray hair never gets old.

Candles and Coconuts

Seems as though I only get around to blogging when there are big events to share, and I'm working on changing that, really I am. So with enough berating from Ian I am finally posting pics of the "tiny big girl"(what Kiwi is now calling herself) turning three and our Hawaiian adventure for Ryan and Nicole's wedding.

Kiwi's birthday

three days, three parties, three-years-old.

#1. Our house with the Skinner family.

#2. Our house with Kiwi's friends for a Little Mermaid party.

#3. My mom's house with Sidon family and Lindsey family.

Hawaii

seven days, one BIG party, one very happy couple

The girls loved Hawaii and all it had to offer. They spent their days running, splashing and digging.

The wedding was gorgeous!

Both Keaton and Reagan had the honor of being flower girls. And they rocked it!

recovering

five days, zero parties, two very tired tiny big girls

I got a new camera for Bethmas (my birthday) and now I have a problem. I can't stop taking pictures of my kids. I am addicted. I stalk them. I sit and wait, camera aimed, waiting for them to do cute, funny things. It's gotten so bad that they now run and hide their faces when they see me and my Canon coming.

Here are some pics I got before they started boycotting.

Super

We were suppose to go to our friends house for a Super Bowl Party, but little Reagan wasn't feeling very good. So we stayed home, and this was my view of the game.

And I thought it was Super.

Too Much Good Stuff

I can't possibly recap everything that has happened since December 11th (my last post), well I guess I could, but the idea of having to makes me feel antsy and say "aaarrrgghhh", in the cranky way, not the pirate way. I hate summarizing past events. Soooooo I am putting up pictures from our December adventures, with very brief captioning so I can move on and start posting again. Here goes:

Jenny and Dave tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony on December 20th.

Kiwi and Reagan were honored to be their snow angels.

Then came Christmas Eve Eve at Poppy and Grandmas.

DJ Jazzy Kiwi was our entertainment for the night.

Christmas Eve at CoCo's and NoPo's house.

(Please note Collin hates when I dress the girls the same)

We opened presents and made our annual chocolate houses. Kiwi was really into it this year.

Reagan was really into Jake's this year.

Christmas morning brought Santa's goodies and some princess tent testing.

We then headed to Portland to spend Christmas with the Lindsey Clan.

It was a VERY white Christmas there. Keaton wasn't sure how to handle so much snow.

And to top it all off Juice and Robin hosted a fabulous Christmas dinner. Nicole and Jack enjoyed themselves.

Overall it was a great Christmas; filled with family, friends, princess dresses,

...and naked Wii Fit. Doesn't get much better than that.

(Whew, done. Finally.)
