This is where my little one was while we were eating though...All was enjoyed by me but the kids were not too keen on the apples...I think next tart I need to use a tarter apple...It is a must recipe now...

What kind of mother thinks this is a good idea. In an attempt to make breakfast interesting and fun this morning, I had a stroke of brilliance. Let's make your daughter pink eggs. Red food coloring is unbecoming on your morning eggs just so you know. I have created a monster! I do not take offense and have never questioned why people ask me my natural hair color. It provides amusement to my life...I have found joy this morning in attempt to be "cool", I don't think this is something I am going to be able to achieve but hopefully I can continue to laugh at myself in the process.

Genes!

I don't know how it works but Genes are an amazing thing. God works his magic and we are so

wonderfully and uniquly made. How is it that my blonde blue eyed little boy looks so much like my

Dad, who happens to have brown hair and eyes. I am amazed and boggled.

I think my family will agree with me...I love my little "Dennis"!

Ice Cream

There is definitely a reason Ice Cream Cones were invented. They thought they were delicious and I was glad they were eating them outside!

A Hunting We Will Go!

My daughter is such a joy. She is kookie with a great spirit!

She loves to have fun and today she created a Scavenger hunt for me!

Her directions were cute,

And the prize wasn't what was behind the door it was Seeing how much joy it brought her to be creative and want to share with me, Just Mom!

First Birthday

Second Birthday

We are 3!

Three years ago yesterday our Twins were born. The past three years have been full of fun, learning, busy-ness and change. We found out we were expecting June of 2006. From the beginning, the pregnancy was so different from that of our oldest. When we went in for our 13 week appointment and the Dr. tried very hard to tell us we were further along than we expected. I could not except this as truth, I knew something was very different. We met our new midwife at our 17 week appointment. She was and is so awesome. As she was checking our baby's heart rate, she tried to get a better angle to hear more clearly. She informed us that she felt there was more than one in there. In a split second our baby turned into babies. The ultrasound confirmed her suspision, there were two in there. I cried,over come with fear, joy and fear. At 20 weeks, we found out we were having a boy and a girl. We were so excited. Our oldest most of all. She was thrilled to be having a brother and sister at the same time. She actually predicted it, we asked what she wanted to have "a brother or a sister?" when we found out we were pregnant. Her reply "Both". I went into our 35 week appointment feeling a little different from the usual and asked our Midwife if she would check to see if anything was going on. Sure enough I was already dilated to 4cm. We went to Labor and Delivery to see if we were in labor. Not so, we were able to go home but we got prepared just in case. The following evening I was having pretty consistant contractions and decided it was to go in. We were admitted around 9 in the evening. After a relatively easy preganancy (aside from discomfort driving or lying down and the love of everything else of preganancy...I loved it) and about 19 hours after the onset of Labor, our babies were born. The first two years were fun and the third even more so...Complete sentences, opinions, conversations, riding bikes, trying so hard to be big all the while being my babies. We have moved overseas and they are picking up a little of the key words in the language.

Playing is such hard work!

My Little Man's New Friend! Big Bro to Cutie in the Park!

Cutie at the park!

Sunset in Espana!

I am in Love! The Sunrises and Sunsets always stop me in my tracks!

Pure Joy!

I Love to see my kids happy and getting along. When they show joy it brings me joy.

Baby Girl!

This is our baby! She is full of personality, Comical and Moody. Loves baby dolls but does just fine racing her brother's match box cars. She is our cuddle bug who still climbs in bed with us every night but wants to be an independant big girl during the day. I enjoy her kisses and love her Lots.

Sunday Morning Wake Up Call

I loved my Sunday morning wake up call! Gorgeous!

Boys!

I have to say that I love this little guy! He is so full of energy and so different from my daughters. He loves a good hug and kiss but also a good punch and kick (he enjoys giving them, somthing to do with being Super). He can run super fast especially when wearing his superman cape. He loves watching motorcycles, police cars and fire trucks.

He is such a boy!
