Andon looking way too grown up!

Zowie and Amanda's annual summer shaving!

My personal favorite...Andon in drag. The best part are the heels that don't match!!! What do you expect being 2 with a twin sister! My two little fairy-princess-ballerinas!!!

Dallas with Grandpa Don and Daddy

Well the kids and I ventured out to Dallas last weekend to see Mark and my dad. It was my first time flying by myself with the kids and we all lived!!! It was actually pretty great except for the early am flights that we had! Avery and Andon were sure to let everyone know that they were flying on Daddy's airplane....a "seven-firty-seven"! Andon was even made the whole plane crack up when we landed in Dallas and he said, "WE MADE IT!" in a very dramatic kid voice!!!

Here are some pictures from the Dallas World Aquarium and a park. The kids really enjoyed Grandpa Don and we can't wait to see hima again! We did get a little sick of hotel food but it was all 50% off so it was kind of a trade-off! It's good to be home and praise God that Mark will be coming home next week for a couple of days!!! I am so excited! I have no idea how single or military moms do it...6 weeks is tough!

Hope to hear from you all soon!

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E

Well, as promised, here are some photos from our recent trip to Disneyland! Avery was much more relaxed with the characters this time. We had so much fun with the Alyea family, our friends from church. Poor Avery was not feeling well most of our trip but we still had a great time even with the rain on the las day! They even went on the Matterhorn for the first time!!! Enjoy!

I Love Paris in the Springtime!

Mark and I made it to Paris last week! We were able to sit first class on the way there...We actually had a menu to choose from for food and wine! We had no hotel when we arrived so we spent the first little bit walking around checking availability and rates. We finally found one for 1 night and then searched in another area for the next 2 nights. We went to Notre Dame and spent most of our time sitting at sidewalk cafes drinking coffee and eating baguettes with cheee and ham. We also took a sight seeing cruise along the river down to the Eiffel Tower. It was a very laid back trip! We missed the kids terribly so we came home a day early to get ready for Disneyland, which a post will be coming on soon! Here are some pictures of our time there...

another baby....Due, Dec 25th!

Last week I watched my girlfriend's sons, Cohen and Gavin, so Leslie could go on a field trip with her daughter. Avery and Andon were so cute with Cohen, the baby. So I decided to ask them if they would like Mommy and Daddy to have another baby. Of course they said, "Yes!" with great excitement. Well, this was the conversation that I overheard over breakfast this morning...

Avery:"Would you like it if mommy and daddy had another baby?"

Andon:"Uh-huh."

Avery: "Well, you'll have to wait until Christmas and see if Santa will bring you one. Like dolls or shopping carts or kitchen or a car. Yep, we'll have to see."

If it were only that easy!!! Sometimes they really CAN be sweet :-)

The Little Gym

We had a playdate at the Little Gym this week and the kids had a lot of fun! I included the picture of one of their friends, Renee, who will soon be the next member of our MOPS group...hehehe!
