Just Funny!

Yay for me! I finally figured this out (thanks Bern!). I cannot, however, make it upright so you have to watch it side-ways. It is still hil-ar-ious! This is our little Ashlyn hoola-hooping for the first time at the first of summer. It is so funny! We love her little bum shake. It is a little known fact that Rob is expert at the Hoola Hoop as well! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right?

Playdate!




We had so much fun playing with Hope & Nikki. We went to Cafe Rio & then for ice cream at McDonalds. The girls had a lot of fun dressing up (they had to keep their princess dresses on for dinner of course!) and playing all the "girly" things. The girls can't wait to play with Hope again!

Miss U Grandma!



I am thinking about and missing my Grandma Bigler today. She was one of my favorite people and one of my biggest fans! Full of unconditional love. I miss talking to her, sparkly wetn'wild lipstick kisses, & big hugs. I am lucky to still have my gramps here to support and love me & the fam (luv you)! I love you gramma--I miss you!

Time Flies!





I found these photos of little Natalia at around 18 months. I just cannot believe it is possible that she was ever so small! Time is really flying by. Now at 7, she still loves to color, but usually keeps her pants on (unless the Kristensens are visiting!). I love my girls so much. I am the luckiest mom ever!

Park City Getaway!







We were able to get away for 4 days to fabulous Park City, Utah this last week. It was so much fun! We had our cousin John & his new wife, Rachel out from Alameda. Linda was able to make it out from San Leandro as well. Grandma Shirley & Grandpa John were hanging out. It is all about family when we hit the PC. We spent our time swimming, hiking, shopping, playing games, & just enjoying each others company. The "cousins"--John, Rach, me, & Rob were able to go out a time or two for some horse play without the kids. We missed cousin Katie--who had to work:(, but had a really great time otherwise. This is one yearly trip we wouldn't miss for anything!

Sara Lee Lagoon Day!






We had tons of fun at Lagoon this past week. We have not been for 5 or 6 years so it was all new to us. The girls loved running from ride to ride. They LOVE rollercoasters--the scarier the better! Ashlyn cried because she was about 1/2 inch to short to ride the really big coasters. Maybe next year. Tally had so much fun taking turns on the crazy rides with Rob and I. The girls each won a stuffed penguin--Crystal(Ash) & Julie(Tal)--playing a water balloon game.

Such a fun day for our family. A rare occasion that all of us were off together!

Ok, I am not technologically gifted, but I am going to try out this blog thing. Apparently there are a few people out there who would like to keep up with our little family and see into our crazy lives. I am going to attempt to blog for those 3 people! We will see how it goes.
