Meeting Mallory's Family

Gracie got a kick out of Beans blowing bubbles so she could pop them.
"Again, again" she'd say while nodding her head up and down.

Umm... not sure what that face is for.
The cutest little bums you'll ever see. I don't know what it is with kids and rocks. Somebody please explain it to me.

Ken and Sadie.
If you click on this pic to enlarge it, Jesse has quite the look on his face.

So cute.
Goodness... You'd think they called eachother before hand to coordinate their outfits. You can't see it but they were both wearing jean capris too.

We were invited to dinner Friday night by Mallory's family. We had a great time getting to know them and their pool. The girls had a blast swimming with their Uncle Jesse and new friends. This was there first time in their new swim suits that work like a life jacket. It actually really helps with keeping their balance and kicking harder to stay afloat. My neices all learned how to swim using these so hopefully by the end of next summer they'll be swimming on their own.

Digital Scrapbooking is so much fun!

The nice thing about AZ is you can swim at night without it being to cold.

Although, it's starting to get too hot to swim during the day and night swimming is starting to become the only way to go. Also, they swim just fine with just the floaties they just like the rings every once in a while.

My camera was a pain in the butt that night. I could't get it to take a decent picture for the life of me.
Aunt Steph does this thing were she takes piggy back rides up a notch. She starts out like she's reving up a car and then she runs around the house bouncing them up and down. All the kids stand in line and do a pretty good job of waiting and taking turns. They love it and I love how happy Sadie is in this picture. Isn't she cute?

Legos, Robots, and Swimming Oh my!

So Dave and I love the movies it's what brought us together. So taking our girls to the movies for the first time was kind of a big deal. And wouldn't you know, I forgot the stupid camera. I even told myself not to forget it and I still did. I need to change it from "Don't forget" to "Go get it now before you forget". We had a whole day planned starting with going to the grand opening of the Lego store at the Chandler Mall, letting the girls play at the mall (which they love to do), going to see Wall-E, and swimming. Did I get a single picture that day. Nope. It bugs the crap out of me when I forget the camera. Anyway-

The girls did quite well for their first movie experience. Sadie was a little scared at first until the little Pixar cartoon started with a magician and his bunny. She liked the bunny. Once Dave joined us with popcorn and other goodies, they both shared a seat with a tray of popcorn and ate and ate and watched the movie. They did so good. Until the popcorn ran out. They got bored real quick and we left. We made it through about an hour and fifteen minutes. I don't think Wall-E was probably the best choice for first movies considering most 2 year olds don't excited about a couple of robots and fat people that don't walk and drink all their meals. Heck, I don't get excited over that either.

For dinner we went out with Dave's sister and her family to Chevy's. Everytime we go there I swear to myself that I'm never going back. Their food is bland and dry, the service is slow starting with being sat, the server, the food, and paying the freakin check. We must have been their for 2 hours. Waiting. It's not worth it. Never ever again.

They're not babies anymore... They're toddlers!

Can you see their little tan lines?

One of the many things we try to tell these 4, "STOP SPINNING THE CHAIR!!!" This is Lily and Brianna's favorite thing to do that they shouldn't because someone always ends up getting hurt. They each take an arm and run around in circles and as soon as Grace sees she runs and jumps on the chair. She likes to spin around. Sadie just follows along and does whatever. It looks like Brianna joining Grace on the chair with Sadie and Lily doing the spinning.
Here are the twins playing hide and seek. Although for them all the fun is in the counting. They all followed eachother from wall to wall counting the best they could. It was really funny. I have it on video if I can ever figure out how to put video on here.
