Reality

Carter has the stomach flu. I am sure Chloe is not far behind in getting it. It's days like the past few that really make me feel like a Momma. Like I am good at my job, I mean really good. The biggest reward in the world is when your feverish little one reaches for you because they know you can make them feel better with just your touch. I love that.
Call me crazy...but as I clean up the vomit off of my couch I get some weird sense of satisfaction. Like, I can do this and I am doing this with nothing but love in my heart for those two. Wow. I am proud of the fact that we are all still in our PJ's haven't done much of anything (other than watch a few hours of Barney) and that I am 100% okay with just being with them & them with me. Being a Momma might not always be rosy and the patience may sometimes run a little low.
But I love every single minute of it.

Weekend Fun

Jerame was in Vegas this weekend celebrating a bachelor party with one of his best friends from college. He had a lot of fun. But of course he did as Vegas rarely disappoints.
So I was flying solo with the twinnies all weekend and boy did we have some fun! Like I said in my previous post we had the pleasure of celebrating 3 very special little one year olds. The twins did really wonderful despite no nap on Saturday and lots of partying. Of course I had the help of my amazing Mom because there is no way I could do all of it on my own.
We then ended the weekend with a nice little dinner with my Brother & Dad for an impromptu Fathers Day since we didn't see my Pops last weekend.

such a funny boy

Why the face you may ask? Well this boy continues to stuff his mouth with dirt. I am beginning to wonder if he is ever going to learn?

There is nothing like rock'in rain boots, shorts & a straw hat. I love his style :-)

happy weekend!

So ready for the weekend. We have 3 ONE year bday parties this weekend for 3 very special little people. Bring on the fun!!

Have a GREAT one :-)

Picnic at the park

We took advantage today of the highest temps we have seen in Seattle since September of 09' (a whopping 72 degrees) & went to the park for a little lunch & play time. Jerame was able to come and meet us for a bit. The twins had a blast and are still sleeping so that means they really had fun!!

Weekend Away

We spent the weekend together with our little family at Suncadia. We had a wonderful time hanging out together & celebrating our anniversary and Fathers Day. Unfortunately the weather was horrible and we really couldn't even go outside for a good part of the day on Saturday because it was too cold & windy. It was a bummer. We got to enjoy a little bit of sun & pool time on Friday though so that was at least nice. So we ended up ordering a lot of room service, watching movies and letting the twins run around like crazy through the hotel. We had fun.

The little toddler pool was just perfect for the twins

Checking it all out on the way to the pool

We had a one bedroom condo so we were able to put the twinnies to bed as normal and hang out in the living area and have a nice dinner together for the anniversary!

The view from our room. Such a perfect scene from the pacific northwest, so beautiful.

Trying to get Chlo to take a picture with me :-)

Riding the swings like big kids!

What a lucky little girl (& boy) to have such an amazing Daddy.

5 years

Five years ago I married my best friend. Happy anniversary honey! It's amazing how much has happened in 5 years and then again it also seems to have flown by. We both agreed to not doing presents this year because we just had a bunch of work done in our back yard. (I should have known better). So this morning a certain little blond curly haired boy delivered me a very beautiful present in bed. What a special set of guys I have.

We have lots of fun planned for the weekend. Excited to spend our anniversary
with our little joys.
