Trick or Treat!



We had fun trick or treating this year! Claire was miserable having to hold up her fancy dress the whole time...Grace was a power walker determined to get to as many houses as she could...Malia thought this was the best thing going getting all the treats! We missed having Daddy around to go with us!

A Bit Behind




Since I have been down and out with my nausea, I'm a bit behind on the blog. Here's a mix of pics from the last couple of months.

Double the Fun!

Ok...so here is the reason why I haven't been blogging! I usually get very sick from pregnancies, but this time I found out there are TWO reasons why I'm getting so sick! Yep...that's right, B and I are having TWINS! I know the picture is a little unclear, but Twin A is upside down on the left and Twin B is right side up on the right. The heartbeats are good and they are growing just fine. God has truly blessed us abundantly! I'm still in awe about the whole thing, and just trying to get through my nausea. Thanks for all the prayers. We'll keep you posted on all the updates! Love you all!

Vacation Time!



We had a great 5 days with my sister and her husband! We headed to Temecula for a couple days to wine taste and relax! Brandon and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary while we were there! We came back to San Diego and enjoyed some golfing, kayaking, beach time, and dinners out! Annette and I golfed with our husbands for the first time and surprisingly enjoyed it a lot! Annette had a natural swing and had some great hits! When we got back, Brandon and I finally took our kids exploring in the canyons around us! Thanks Mom, Dad, Erin, and Nicole for watching our kiddos while we had some relaxation!

PS Make sure and turn off the music to one of the slideshows while you watch them or you will have two songs blasting at you at the same time:)

Claire Turns 6!



We had a great time celebrating Claire's birthday! On her actual birthday we went to Chuck E Cheese...Grace and Malia were beyond scared of the Chuckster! It was so funny, but not to them! Grace decided to join us after she got up the guts to be around Chucky:) The next day we had party at my mom's house and had lots of fun with our cousins and friends, playing games and breaking open a pinata! Even though the song doesn't match the pictures, Claire wanted to pick a Jordin Sparks song for her slideshow!
We can't believe our oldest is 6!!

Birthday, BBQ, and Body Painting!

















Hello!!! Here are some recent pics of us...we celebrated my birthday on the 27th...the girls and I went to a Cinderella puppet show and then Brandon joined us later for dinner at a restaurant...we hardly ever go out to dinner so it was an adventure! They did well, except for Malia's constant demands:) The girls had been working hard practicing and finally put on their puppet show for Brandon, Malia and I on my birthday! Grace was the MC of the show, and Claire had each puppet sing me a different song:) Brandon's squadron had a family BBQ and the girls spent all their time at the face painting! She was pretty good! We are excited to start our vacation off up at my Mom's with Claire's birthday party coming up on the 3rd! Hope all is well!

Soccer Begins!



Summer soccer has started for the girls! They had their first practice yesterday and loved it! The good news is that they are both on the same team!!! We didn't get to be on the same team as their friends Kylie and Lindy, but at least they practice at the same time! Unfortunately, I do not get to watch them practice too much because Malia is running around the park that is right next to the field! She's a mover and a groover!

Last Day of School!

Claire had her last day of school on June 16th! They had a CELEBRATION at the park, rotating stations from obstacle course, to decorating boats, to face paint, to bubbles, to sand time, to decorating visors. Grace was able to join her for all the fun! Too bad most of the pics you can't see their eyes because of the big visors! And yes, Grace's hat says Claire by accident. Claire is now excited to move on to be a first grader! Grace is counting the days to go to Kindergarten! Love my girls! Miss my husband! (One of these days I will get the slideshow right with no goofs:)

Good Times


Brandon decides to start the summer fun with a little swimming in the backyard. Don't you love Malia's "burn me now!" swim attire?!:)









Hillbilly Malia decides to make us laugh with her tootsie roll tooth sideshow! She got a kick out of us laughing while she kept smiling away!












Grandma and Grandpa C visited and we went to the church fiesta! Claire got to ride on a pony for the first time. As you can see, Claire's horse smiled for the camera too! Hey there pony...ever heard of crest white strips? ha!
Grace opted out after seeing her horse relieve herself right in front of her:)









































No, it's not Halloween, but the girls wanted to surprise me and all dressed up, each with a flower and baby in hand! They thought it was funny...so hey, I did too! Love my girls!

Back In Time

Here a few pictures from our 7 months in Pensacola, Florida: Claire making the Reading Wall of Fame, Grace enjoying her first hay ride with her friend Mattie, Christmas and making cookies, Easter Day with Dad, Claire with her friend Emma after a school program (she's the second penguin from the left), Brandon at his flight surgeon graduation ceremony where I had the honor of pinning on his wings! Poor guy...I put them on a little on the crooked side:)
