6th Grade Picture

    I just found a school picture of me in the sixth grade.  How come I am not as cute as Sarah and Heather?  Maybe its the hair????

Best Vacation Ever!

We just got in the car and started driving.  We didn't know where we were going to end up.  We were thinking about Magic mountain and visiting Camarillo cousins but Magic Mountain near Halloween is a little scarey for our babies (Heather and Max)  Hope they aren't reading this.  Hee Hee.  We decided we would go near Julie's so we had options of Disney land or Knotts Berry Farm.  Thanks to David (and American Express points), we ended up at the best hotel ever with its own private beach.  Who knew Dana Pointe was soo amazing?  We were sad to leave Saturday morning to make it back in time for a 5:30pm gymnastic meet.  But, I have a feeling we will be back!

Wish you were with us Sam!

More October Break Photos!

I wouldn't miss this moment for anything.  What will happen one day when they live away from each other.  I don't think they realize most people don't get to hang out with their best friend every day.  Twins are lucky, they have their best friend to go to the first day of school, gymnastic meets, dentist appointments, everything.  

Happy Birthday to me!

     I know!  You are thinking why would David buy me a rototiler for my birthday?  I must be really sad.  Actually, I have wanted one ever since we moved last year.  I am so excited.  I want to plant a garden and grow all my own vegetables.  This is the best birthday present ever!  Just think, fresh organic veggies any time you want them.  You just can't take the country out of the girl.

My Dream Garden

     I just had to show proof that I really wanted a rototiller.  This was my first garden.  I even made my own pickles.  I know, don't tell anyone.  Brian and Samantha helped me every day find new veggies.  Maybe it was more therapy relaxation being outside then anything.  It's a little difficult planting a garden when you live in a big city.  Our last house (10 years), we had a pool, sport court, and trampoline, and no extra corner for a garden.  We'll see if I can do it again.  Thanks David for making me happy and supporting my crazy hobbies.

Mom's Birthday!

     Thanks Susan for the Bday gift!  We had to make cookies right away.  I know how busy you are with your celebrity status starring in the Producers, so it meant even more that you stopped by to drop off a gift.  I am still accepting late gifts and phone calls (Debbie, Rainey, Marjorie, Colette, Amy, Jodie, Andrea, Julie)  Totally Joking!!!!  I have no pictures of my birthday dinner, because thanks to Max having two root beers and two plates of chicken wings, we had to exit the restaurant quickly and discretely.  I cleaned the barf up as good as I could at the table, and I'm sure David cleaned the 5 more barfs up in the bathroom.  GOOD TIMES!!!

Brian's 18th Birthday!

     I told Brian he was actually due on my birthday, but I told the Doctor to induce me so we wouldn't have the same birthday.  Brian said it would have been way cool if we shared the same birthday.  You know, I think at the time I just didn't want to be in the hospital giving birth on my birthday.  I didn't really think ahead that it would be cool to share the same day as my son. I guess when you are 24 and as huge as a cow, you are just thinking the sooner I get this baby out the better.  I love you Brian!

     We used this cake for Brian's birthday, then pulled it out two days later and used it for mine.  HaHa.  We just needed a prop for a picture.  I can't believe we have two adult children!

18 Years!

Quality Time!

     Like Father, like son. I couldn't resist taking this picture.  The TV was on super loud and I was expecting to come over and tell them to turn the TV down.  I think Max fell asleep because David wouldn't part up with the controls.  (Notice David hugging the controls).  Max sometimes hides them under the couch pillow knowing that the man with the controls is the "WINNER"!!!
