2 years!

Wow! Another milestone in the life of the twins! One year was awesome, but now we have made it 2! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAXTON AND MAKELLE!!! For their Birthday Brock wanted to make them something special so he made them a prince and princess crown. Isn't that so cute! He worked so hard on them and the twins loved them (for a minute)! Then Blake went to Wal-Mart and couldn't resist but to buy them some presents. They were so thrilled when he brought them home and gave the presents to them! It was a fun birthday! Their party was then next day on Sat.

For their party we did a CARNIVAL!! It was so fun for me to put together! We did a BBQ lunch and had all the carnival decor. As the kids came I gave each of them a little goodie bag with tickets in it that they could use for the carnival games. I did a fish pond, a ring toss, a lollipop tree, face painting, cotton candy, a popcorn machine, and a bounce house. We did all sorts of fun prizes and treats. Nana helped to make a cupcake clown and all the kids had so much fun! Thanks to all the family and friends who came and helped out! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TWINS! What a fun day!

Vegas Baby!

We went to Vegas to spend some time with my sister Emily and my sister Terraza and her family! It was so much fun to hang out and let the kids play! And us girls even got to do some SHOPPING!! The kids loved being with their cousins and playing! And well I finally gave in and had Emily cut off Daxtons curls! It was so sad to see his little curls fall to the floor :( but he was so handsome when he was all done! He didn't care for the haircutting process at all, but MaKelle begged to have her hair cut so Aunt Mimi gave her a tiny trim! Brock and Corbin also got their hair cut and they all looked so good that I had to take pictures. So on Sunday after church we took some pictures of the kids in Emily's neighborhood and back yard! They are such cute kids if I do say so myself! We love playing with our Family in Vegas! :)

Yeeha!

As the Activity Day leader in our ward we planned a daddy daughter shindig! It was cowboy themed with steere roping, 3 legged races, a BBQ dinner, and of course square dancing! We all dressed up and decorated the cultural hall and a had agreat time. I brought all my kids and had Blake do the grilling. I dressed my kids up in their western wear and I even dressed up too! (Blake was not going to go that far!) But he did get talked or should i say drug into square dancing with one of the girls who didn't have a partner since her dad was dancing with his other daughter. He was a good sport about it and I got a kick out of watching him! All the girls had so much fun and the dads did too! My kids loved to rope the steere and ride it too! I can't wait till MaKelle is old enough that she can go with her Dad on a daddy daughter date!!
