Night Out

My Grandpa threw my Grandma a 70th birthday party at Nora's, a great Italian restaurant here in Vegas. We left the kids with my mom, got dressed up and enjoyed a night out just the two of us. It was so nice to be out and able to actually visit with family without the interruption of our kids. As much as I love having kids, its moments like this when I remember how fun it is to be just us.

Water War Picnic

Every year Zachary's TKD studio has a picnic at the park where the kids and the parents get to have a water war. It was a lot of fun and all the kids had a blast despite it being so darn hot outside!! Zachary also found out that he had passed his midterm black belt test which he has been working towards. Overall we were hot and exhausted by the end of the day but it was well worth it!

Princess Shoes

The girls are always wearing my high heals and "pretty shoes" so I decided I should get them some dress up shoes. I found a great deal on Ebay for four pairs of brand new princess shoes. It was the best $18.00 I have spent in a long time. I have the happiest little girls clicking around in their new princess shoes all day long!

On my head!

If it looks like it will fit it is going on their heads. They have been going through a phase lately of putting hats ect on their heads. It is pretty cute to see all the different things they want to put on their heads!

The Paci is History!

I had my mind made up that I would allow Maile to keep her paci until her third birthday. She was only using it at night and it wasn't causing any speech delays so I was ok with her having it to sleep. The twins had started wanting one for bedtime thanks to Zach, so one night about a week ago I could only find two and I was fed up on looking anymore so I made the decision that we were done with paci's! Maile thinks we gave them to Oliver and Jacob so she is happy being a big girl! She does cry more often at bedtime but that is something I think she will get over with time. The twins don't even notice they are gone.

Finally!

Well we did it! We finally went to church! If anyone knows me I have sorta been on the fence about going to church for a long time. I guess I believed that one day I would just wake up and know the answer but that really hasn't happened so with some guidance and a very good timed phone call from a couple missionaries we went to church. And I really enjoyed it! Besides a little stress trying to keep the kiddies quiet during the sacrament meeting the rest of the day went great. The girls didn't cry when we took them to nursery and they were so excited to tells us how much fun they had. Zach and I met some really nice people in our classes and I am looking forward to next week!

Just Because...

.....I love finding them hanging out together.

Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse

My sister Anna and a few of my friends told me about these books so I decided that I should try the first one out. Needless to say I pretty much neglected my kids for three days to read these books. They were really good. I am sorta mad at myself for not taking my time to read them because now I have to wait two months before the last one comes out and that is like torture! I would say that even if you are not a big reader that you should read these books. It is such a great love story with lots and lots of surprises!!

Lake Las Vegas

Last weekend Grandma threw a party out at Lake Las Vegas. It was a lot of fun hanging out in such a pretty place. The girls especially loved the view from the sixth floor room. Mommy and Daddy, not so much kinda scary with three toddlers! The day after the party we went back to enjoy the pool at the resort. It was the best pool I had ever been to for kids. It gradually got deeper so the girls were able to play in the shallow part! Over all Grandma threw a great party and we had lots of fun!
