Good Night! Sleep Tight!

This is the way Sharla and I put the kids to bed.

I was laying in bed snuggling with Emma, and we started taking pictures and CHAOS broke loose! Katelyn jumped in, then Carly and Sharla and Jessica attacked.

We had such a fun night, and I miss them sooo bad!

Peace!

Gangsta!! Katelyn is so serious!

ATTACK!

Katelyn Got a little scary CRAZY!

Carly being the girl from the Ring!

This is the Mandee and Kristi look!

Good Night!!

MONKEY Girls

When Sharla was here I took the girls to gymnastics with me.  They all got dressed in Carly's Pink leos & we headed to the gym.  They had so much fun.  Emma did class with me. Katelyn did class with another Coach and then they all go to play in "Family Gym"  And they just played and played and played!!!

They had so much fun, I wish they were closer so they could be in my classes!! 

CARLY, EMMA & KATELYN

Emma was a little nervous on the beam, but once she got up, she started doing her beam routine.  It was really cute!!  Emma shakin her booty and waving her arms all over.

ICE AGE 3-D

I always think it is so amazing what they can do in 3-D movies.  We went with Shar and girls to see Ice Age 3-D and loved it.  It was a cute fun movie but the best part was watching the girls watch the movie.  They looked so cute in their glasses, and they just laughed and laughed.  Emma kept reaching up trying to grab the dino's and the flying fire shooting right at you.  At one point she was so funny,  the Dino was walking away and his tail was swinging right in your face and Emma reached up and started laughing.  She said "Jacki.. I touched his butt"  it was hilarious!

I would recommend it to anyone who wants a fun summer movie with their kiddos!!

Cousins... Cousins... We love cousins

Jordan, Katelyn, Carly, Cade & Emma

We have had such a fun week with our Cousins.  Sharla has been here all week and on Thursday Jason Forrest came with his kiddos.  We have really enjoyed just swimming, and hanging out and being with the Cousins. We miss having family close by.  We miss Jess and Miah.  Even though they were an hour away, they were still close enough to get together for some family time.  We miss Sharla and her Family so much.  Every time we go to lunch or go shopping my girls say "I wish Sharla was here".  (She is the "cool" Aunt)  :)  Every time we have a party we miss Grandma & Grandpa, who always put out the effort to do the fun stuff around town.  Everytime we come home from church we miss Russell's, "So... today at church I was sitting by this Hot girl" stories. Every time we have fun performances or go to the beach we  miss Mandee and Cea who would always come with us and do the fun stuff that Mom's don't do.... We miss being together.  We miss having support.  We miss the connection.  We miss the fun!  

Man!  I can't wait for eternity!!

Just a few fun pics of the cousins jumping and playing.

Emma's Birthday

Little Miss Emma Jolie At her TERRIFIC 3 Birthday!

Sharla and her family were visiting from Arizona this week, so we were lucky enough to have Emma's 3rd birthday party while they were here.  I can't believe she is 3.  I remember going with Sharla to the Hospital to have her.  It seems like forever ago, but also just last week.  

It was so fun.  They came back from San Diego and we had things all set up for an Emma birthday party with a Castle Cake and Decorations (thanks to Cea who provided the decorations form her wedding at no extra cost)

 

She wanted a "castle Party" so this was my attempt to make a castle.

The girls swam and We had yummy hot dogs and Kabobs for Lunch

Katie-roo and Carly

Emma Couldn't stop laughing when It was time to sing to her

Emma Blowing out the Candles

This is the present from herself.  She kept saying this is from ME!

After it was all over she crashed.  Nothing was waking her up!

Sweet Em's

Fourth o f July in Redlands

We had a great day on the Fourth of July.  I Love Redlands on the 4th.  Sharla brought Jessica home and we had the funnest day, swimming, bbq's and playing.  Here are a few pics from the day.
