Pictures from the weekend!

Aarons Grandparents have a house in Parowan that doesnt get used all winter long, (actually they are only there a few weeks in the summer) Anyway, we go up every year and play in the snow. This year the twins were old enough to really know that we were going to play in the snow and had been talking about building snowmen all month! My parents, and 2 of my sisters came also, we had a blast! Here are some pictures!
Carlie chillin with her sunglasses.
Claire laughing at Aunt Keri! (My sister Keri rode up with us, and helped with the twins)
The family at Pizza Factory in Cedar City. The twins REFUSED to sit in high chairs... Not fun!
This is what it looked like when we woke up on Saturday!

Aaron and I on the slopes! We decided to go night boarding. It was only $12, from 3:30 - 9pm. The weather was great, and we were able to get a few good runs down the mountain before it got too cold. This was my first time EVER snowboarding ... I think I did ok. On my first run down the mountain, I fell pretty bad, and got the wind knocked out of me! But after that I did better. Dont get me wrong, I still spent more time falling than actually snowboarding, but I had a blast!
My sister and I coming down the Mountain. Keri is in front with the light blue jacket, im behind her in the bright blue jacket.
Keri and I taking a little rest... jk, we both fell, this is where we spent most of our time! Trying to get back up! My arms, shoulders and neck are SOOOOOOO stinkin sore! We wore wrist gaurds, but my wrists still hurt pretty bad! We had a great time, and I look forward to going snowboarding more often!

We left a little later than usual on Sunday, and it started snowing really bad as we were loading up the cars. It took 2 hours to get from Parowan, to St George! There was a ton of snow in St. George even! It was nuts!

Parowan here we come!

Tomorrow we are headed out to Parowan for the weekend! The twins have been counting down the days until we get to go build a snowman! We will be going tubing, taking the girls sledding, eating lots of good food, (thanks to my amazing cook/husband!) and I am going to try snowboarding. My family is going up with us, so we will definatly be having a good time! (And mom and dad watch the twins, while everyone goes tubing/snowboarding) We are also going to try to get a good family portrait while we are up there. Good times!

Blankies

Claire and Carlie have been attached to the same blankies, for as long as I can remember. Sad thing is, these blankies are getting GROSS! Claire has a few holes in hers, and Carlie's is starting to get holey as well. Aaron's Grandma Olds, thinks these blankies are hideous, and decided to make them quilts! The girls aren't attached to the quilts yet, but im sure they will be eventually! Thanks Grandma Olds!

Above is Claire's blankie. Notice the tear towards the bottom.
And here is Claire's NEW quilt from Grandma! Claire loves to roll and jump all over her new quilt.
And here is Carlie's blankie. Its not as bad as Claire's, but its getting there.
And Carlie's NEW quilt!

Whenever I lay these quilts down, both girls start doing somersaults over them. Its pretty funny!

Before and After

I have pretty much neglected the twins playroom for about a week. And this is what it look like before I decided to clean it! Not so cute!


And here are the AFTER pictures! Much better! It didnt stay this clean for long, but its much easier to keep tidy now that everything has been put away. We still need shelves and a large toy bin for the bigger random stuff.

San Diego Trip!

This past weekend, Aaron and I went to San Diego, for a friends wedding. We left the girls home with my parents, and we had a blast!

Above is a picture of Aaron and I at Hotel Del Coronado, where the wedding was at.
We went riding on 4 seater bikes. I havent laughed so hard in SUCH a long time! And it was a great workout. Our 4th rider decided to ditch out on us half way through the ride, so I decided to hop up front, so I didnt have to pedal. We rode the bikes along the beach in Coronado.
Above: Donny (the Groom) Kurty, Me, Aaron, and Joey. These guys are 4 of our closests friends.
Aaron and I freezing our bums off while watching the wedding rehersal.
The day of the wedding, Aaron and I went for a walk around Seaport Village. The hotel we stayed at was just a few blocks from here, so we walked down to the Village, tooks some pictures, and headed back to our hotel to get ready for the wedding.

Heres a picture of us all dressed up! Aarons tie, was black and white polka dots, it matched my shoes!!

The Newlyweds! Me, Mariko, Donny, and Aaron.
This is the table we sat at, with everyone we sat with!
And here are my shoes! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these shoes! They went perfect with my dress, and im so glad Aaron found a tie to match them as well!

We had a great time in California! The wedding was BEAUTIFUL, and so much fun!

The weather was really nasty driving home, but we made it home safely, and we were so excited to see the twins!
