Sleeping Beauty

This is what the girls look like 10 minutes after getting home from church. Our ward starts at 1:00. Our girls lay down to take a nap at noon. So, on Sundays they don't get a nap until after church. This is not always a good thing for Nursery! This week when I went to pick them up, I was told that they were really good, if the leaders let them do whatever they wanted to do. :S That is better than the time before, when I picked the girls up and was told 'They are really aggressive huh?" ... I guess I am going to have to wake the girls up at 6am on Sundays so they can take a nap at 10am!

Good Doggy!

Our dog Trixie, a Lab-Beagle mix is SUCH a GOOD DOG! Trixie 'lets' the girls sit on her, pull her tail, and take her ball away. Trixie never seems to mind. Trixie has this funny smile. Whenver she gets really excited, or when Aaron comes home she just smiles! It looks like she is growling, but really she is just happy!



Trixie is a great gaurd dog as well. If the girls are playing in the back yard, and someone walks on the sidewalk in front of our house, her hair will stand straight up, and she barks up a storm. Or when just the girls and I are at home, and someone knocks on the door, her hair again stands straight up, and she lets out a mean bark.

She's a great dog, and I enjoy her in our home!

Dinner Time Conversation.

Tonight Claire, Carlie and I were sitting at the dinner table... and this is the conversation that went on for about a 5 minutes ...

ME: Mmmm, Dinner is YUMMY!
Claire: No its NOT.
Carlie: Is to
Claire: Is not
Carlie: IS TO!
Claire: Is NOT
Carlie: Is to.

They just started saying this, like TODAY.

Happy Easter!

This weekend was filled with exciting things to do. Saturday morning we went to Owen and Camdens birthday party. (I dont have many pictures of that) Then after Aaron and I watched the Rebel game, we came back home and colored Easter eggs with the Twins. I let the girls do 2 eggs each, then they went to bed!



I saw these Easter baskets online @ Pottery Barn, and had to get them! They were even on sale! SCORE! I found a few small things to put in them for the girls.
I started the Easter egg hunt with a little trail leading out of their bedroom to the living room/family room. Claire got the hang of it, but Carlie was still pretty sleepy. We had to wake her up!

And Below are pictures of the girls with their Easter dresses on! I couldnt get them to sit/stand together, and they were OVER getting their pictures taken ...
Above is Carlie.
And this is Claire yelling at me to STOP!

We went to church with my parents, and enjoyed the musical program in their ward. Afterwards we came back to my house had lunch and hung out with my family! Then we made a stop over at Grandma and Grandpa Tines house. After that we headed over to Aarons sisters house to have Easter dinner with his mom and siblings. We had a great Easter!

Happy Birthday Aaron! Part 2

For Aarons birthday, we went to our nephews birthday party, then headed over to a friends house to watch the UNLV Basketball game. Donny bought a cake from some Asian bakery place, and it was SO good! It was a Mango Mousse... seriously, it was pretty dang good!

Finally! After many months of being, oh so jealous of everyones CUTE blogs, I finally sat down, and took the hour and a half, and learned how to change mine!

Now that I have the hang of it, Im pretty sure I'll be changing it up often!

We're Sick.

We have all been sick at some point this week.

Early Tuesday morning, Carlie threw up all in her bed. We got her cleaned up, her bed stuff all changed, and she threw up again a few hours later. All day Tuesday we watched movies, and relaxed on the couches. Tuesday night Carlie threw up again. All over the couch. I DO NOT enjoy cleaning up throw up! yuck!

Wednesday both girls had fevers, and were a little stuffy. SO, we spent the day lounging on the couches again.

Thursday, the girls seemed to be feeling a lot better.

Friday, after I got off work, we decided to pack up, and go to Brianhead with some friends for the weekend. We were about 20 minutes away from our friends cabin, and Claire threw up in the car. Luckily none got on her car seat, just all over her. We decided not to take our germs to our friends cabin, and drove back down the mountain and just stayed at our house in Parowan. Claire threw up a few more times that night. Saturday morning, Claire seemed to be feeling a LOT better, so we were going to head back up to Brianhead. Just as we were loading up, Claire threw up again. :( . We decided just to drive back home.

Now I have a bad cold! But, thanks to Advil Cold and Sinus, I am able to function.

Claire seems to be much better, and neither of the girls have fevers. Hopefully they are on their way to being healthy. Lets hope!

DIRT!

Since we have had beautiful weather lately, Aaron went out and got the girls a sand box! They played in it this afternoon and had a blast! Im hoping we will have our backyard done in a few weeks, so we can add more toys to the backyard fun!

Park Fun!

Today I met up at the park with my SIL Carey and her boy Joshua. The girls had SO much fun! I have to admit, Im a little nervous when the girls are at the park. Im always afraid of them falling, but today, the girls did so well! Carlie of course was just fine with running around for the first part. Claire found her slide, and made about 20 rounds before she found the 'rock climbing' stairs. Claire was going up those stairs like a pro! It totally scared me, but neither of the girls fell! Claire even went down the BIG slide with Aunt Carey, the decided she could do it on her own! She went down probably 25 times! Carlie found a smaller slide, and made a few rounds on it! Finally, we decided to swing, and Claire wanted to sit on the big kid swing. CRAZY GIRL! She sat on the swing, and held on like a champ! I was finally able to talk her into sitting in the little kid swing, and I was able to relax for a minute!

Im thinking we will go back next Monday and play. Who wants to come?!

'Yee Haw' and the Drums.

Last night we were at my SIL's house, to give my nephew a blessing. Afterwards the girls played a little. The girls loved playing on the rocking horse, a.k.a 'yee haw'. Claire also found the drum set, and was using bowling pins for drum sticks. Rock On!



Claire got on the horse too.

Catalog Shopping.

Carlie and Claire really enjoyed this months issue of Williams & Sonoma. They were really excited for all the Easter stuff. They sat like this for quite a while!

Post # 81

(This is going to be a tad bit RANDOM!)

Nothing too exciting is happening at our house. I decided to quit working for the company I was working for. So i've been at home with the twins all week. Its been fun, but a LOT of work! I have gotten caught up on most my 'chores'. I've actually had time to put away laundry! I have found its pretty pointless trying to clean up after the girls while they are awake. I decided that I was cleaning up the same messes many time in one afternoon. I think its time to teach the girls how to clean up their own toys ...

This week Aaron and I went to Macayos, the UNLV basketball game, and LUV ITs with my brother and his wife. We had a great time, and I really enjoy their company! I did however decide that I DONT like the cheap seats at the T&M. I'll not buy Soda for a week, so we can buy the not $12 seats! (Im such a snob sometimes...)

Yesterday I got to go shopping with my friend Raina and her baby Beckah. We went to the Fashion Show mall. I dont really like that mall! Its too big, and you have to use so many elevators. I got some cute pants for the girls @ Childrens Place. And I bought the stuff I needed from Clinique.

Last night my parents and sister Kim came over for our Friday Night hang out. They brought Pick Up Sticks for dinner! I love Chinese food.

Today I have been cleaning all day, and cant wait for Aaron to come home from work. (He's been working for both Bellagio, AND Las Vegas Parking this week. I havent really seen him since Wednesday morning!)

Oh, Ghostland Observatory came out with a new Album this week. I havent had the chance to listen to it, but I hear its pretty good.

The twins are SO excited for the release of 101 Dalmations on Tuesday!
