Chicken park

I met a girlfriend at the park the other day and we let all the kids play. I had some really cute pictures of the kids swinging, going down the slide and feeding the chickens, but my camera card failed and all my pictures got corrupted...sorry, no pics. :(

Updated! I just found some of the photos on my card that were not corrupted.. Enjoy!

Fun in the SNOW!!

We went up to the snow today, and oh my gosh, it was SOOOOOO fun! We all had a BLAST! I can't believe how well the twins did. Lucy was a bit apprehenive about the snow and sled thing, but Maddie and Ava LOVED it! We were going to build "frosty the snowman", (that's what Lucy says) but someone already built one for us. :) The place we went to is just off Hwy 50 called Fresh Pond, it is about 42 miles from our house and it only took us 35 minutes to get there. We will definitley go again! :)

I just ran across this newspaper article and I cannot say enough how much I can relate! There are some people, including my very own family, that thinks I never do anything with them b/c I am neglecting them or I just don't want to. I have to admit, having twins is the hardest challenge of my entire life! Having three kids is wonderful, (so don't get think I am complaining) I just wish people understood that I try my very best to be a wonderful mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. I know there will be a time in our life when we are able to "do" more things, but that time is just not now....

Happy Valentine's Day!

We have a fun day planned with the kids today. This morning the girls are getting Valentine donuts (just what they need, more sugar! lol) and then we are going to a Valentine's Day party over at one of my girlfriends house. After we come home and the girls (and maybe momma) take a nap, we are going to the snow! YAY! It's been so long since we have been to the snow. In fact, the last time we went I was only six weeks pregnant with the twins! When the kiddos go to bed tonight, Chris and I will probably just hang out and play some games together while we eat chocolate dipped strawberries, my favorite. :)

This picture was taken at Dawn's house at the Valentines party. All the kids were so good!!!

My brother Michael, his girlfriend Salli and their two kids came to Sacramento last week to visit. They live in Washington, almost to Canada. I haven't seen my brother in over 6 years, and I think that's a really long time. Anyway, I met my two nieces, Liberty and Alexis for the first time. They are both soooo adorable! They liked their visit here so much that now they are thinking about moving here! It would be so wonderful to have him and the girls down here close to us.
I didn't take half as many pictures as I wanted.... guess I was to busy enjoying the visit!

We have lived in our house for almost 4 years now, and the whole time we have lived here our spa has never worked right. After much frustration on Chris' part trying to get the darn thing to work, we finally called a company out here to figure out the system. The result? A wonderful, clean spa! The girls had so much fun swimming the other night, and so did their momma and papa!
