Swimming in our pool!!

Nate going in for the first dip!  We couldn't swim until Saturday afternoon, but were outside all morning getting stuff cleaned up!  He was more than a little mad when he had to take a nap before swimming.  

It was a little cold!

Nate enjoying the nice blue water!  Happy as can be!

Carli and her goggles & kickboard, need I say more?

Under the waterfall!  A favorite spot to hang out! 

Disneyland & Santa Barbara

We made it!  Here a few (ok, a lot) of pictures from our trip!  

Don't worry, this only lasted about 30 minutes!  I would have been WAY too lucky if this is how the whole flight was!  :)

The girls got their faces painted while I ran back to get my tickets!  Carli wanted the snake, but was convinced that it would be a better idea to match Tate!

The twinners--and we didnt even plan it!  :)

Carli and Nate were both TERRIFIED of Pluto!  Even he thought it was funny!

Not a great picture, but the girls were thrilled to see Cinderella!  

Nate quickly found the keenex box in the hotel room!

Carli at dinner!  I thought she looked so cute in this picture!  

I took the girls to see the parade, as if their day hadn't been long enough.  They both were so tired that Tate fell asleep a few minutes after we got there and I forced Carli to wake up!  I am pretty sure this was her favorite part of the whole trip!  

GLUED!  The whole time!  

Ready to watch the next parade.  

Nate of course couldn't decided which sucker to eat first!

The beach!  The kids were all so happy to just be busy doing there thing!  

Carlis helmet is on backward!  

Not so good at the monkey bars!

Feeding the horses!  Carli wanted nothing to do with it!  

Pictures soon...

We just got back a few days ago from our oh so fabulous trip to visit a great friend in Santa Barbara.  We spent 2 days at Disneyland, a day at the beach, tons of shopping, working on our Sweets business, and the rest of the time breaking up fights between Carli and Tate!  What a great time.  I couldn't have asked for my kids to be any better or more importantly sleep any better.  So in my crazy attempt to pack 2 massive duffle bags (so to avoid the baggage fees) I left my camera in California.  Jessica was great enough to run right to the post office and get it sent off...so I can post pictures in a few days.  

PS-we are also filling our pool with water right now, so I will update that picture too!  So exciting!  

We are thrilled to announce Baby #3 will be joining our family!  

Due March 14th, 2009

Which do you think it will be?  A boy or a girl?  

If you are trying to do the math, Carli and Nate are 22 months apart, and Nate and Baby will only be 20 months apart.  We are ready and excited for the wild ride they are about to put us on!!

He did it!  Nate finally started walking, right at about 13 months.  I thought I would make him try one day and he just up and walked 5 big steps.  What a big boy.  We knew he could do it all along.  Carli is so cute always trying to cheer him on.  "Gwait job Naters, Gwait Job!!"

Swimming Girl

My fearless daughter has really started to take off in her swim lessons.  We are so proud of her!  What a good swimmer we will have on our hands.  She is going to take for one more week and then I am sure she will be a pro!

  

Nates New Tooth!!

Finally!  He now has 8 teeth; 4 on top, 4 on bottom!  

Look close!
