Yowza..

It's been a while since I've posted! I guess there's been a lot going on, and not a ton of pictures get taken by me during the winter months. My computer also hasn't been working super fast these past few months.. BUT..enough excuses, here are a few pics I have on my mom's computer.
Since it's mothers day, and my own mother has been hassling (sp?) me to update the blog..Mom..consider this you're mothers day gift!!!
-@ Seattle center with Emma and family!

Ari, Emma & D
Love him
Ari, of course, had to get something from the gift shop...She really NEEDED another notebook
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this picture! In fact, I may need to make this my main blogger photo!!
@ Mcdonalds on D's 4th birthday! Hard to believe my babycakes is 4 years old this year!!!
@ Seattle with Grammy for Ari's 6th birthday! Don't even ask me how she can be 6 years old already!!
Grammy took Ari on a special overnighter downtown this year. They stayed at a fancy hotel and walked allll around the market. I told my mom she would probably just want to hang out in her hotel, but turns out I was wrong. We have a little Seattlelite on our hands. They walked for miles..and cabbed around town all day!!

Headed to the pool. In her favorite outfit, Uggs and a swimsuit!
How cute is this girl...and this swimsuit!!
@ Grammy's Easter morning!! Pretty much the cutest kids in the world, I know!
D wasn't going to have anything to do with the Easter Bunny..But Ari was all about it, as long as Grammy was by her side.
oh my lord they just keep getting cuter :)
LOL...I found this on my camera
Mothers Day Cuties
My gang

YaYa and Auntie Sarah came over to Grammy's for mimosas and KFC!! yup, we did it gourmet this mother's day!! Coming from the person who normally prepares and hosts the parties, it was quite easy and relaxing!! We had a great time!!
Little Diva

I'm Alive

No, you are not dreaming. This is an actual post to my blog! Hard to believe, I know! Since it has been so long I wouldn't even know where to start so it's all about the photos...that's all anyone really cares about anyway right? Right! Enjoy.

My mom and I took the kids out to Jetty Island on one of the last weekends the ferry ran. It was so so soooo much fun I don't know why I wasn't there everyday, with or without my kids!!
I hope genes get me looking this good when I'm a grammy at the beach!!

It's a pretty big deal for both of them to like sand this year! My mom burried them!
Where'd they go?
Me and my girl at Pappys house!
My crew eating at the Taco Truck with Papps.
The girls (minus Lilly & Juno) over for a playdate!My mom and I took the kids to Stocker Farms pumpkin festival this year too! It was really fun for the kids, tons of stuff to do!
D got his face painted...he got to choose from a big sheet of pictures...he chose what any manly man would choose, a rainbow!! and it gets worse..see halloween pics below...

Ari practicing the hula-hoop!

We took a hay-ride around the farm and they did a pumpkin shoot out of a cannon. I love this picture..how excited they both were right when it shot out!
Noah and Auntie were in town for a visit a couple weeks ago, of course those pics are all still on my camera..but if you want to see more check my sisters always-updated-and-current-blog--->
I love this one of the little mans first taste of pho...extra sriracha just like his dad!
I can't figure out why my kids like going to Auntie Jessica's house? It might have something to do with the enormous "slices" of cake she let's them have! Right after this photo she let them shove their faces in it and eat with no hands!

Lills and Anns...sooo BFF's..I love it

D likes to take showers now instead of baths, but he doesn't like the water in his eyes..so he made what he calls his "shower umbrella"

Halloween!

My little Phantom. He chose this costume because it came with red light up eyes and a sickle. The sickle was quickly put up out of reach because I'm pretty sure we were all in danger while this was in D's possession.

Cutest Dorothy EVER!
Ari and Morgan trick or treating! D is back there too if you look. He refused to say "trick or treat" and insisted on "happy Halloween" instead. He also tried to negotiate which treats he got at most houses, and said "I'm a phantom" until each homeowner responded to him...
I love Ari's face in this picture, she was having sooo much fun!

Morgan's dog Jack, dressed up like a Ladybug just like her! Very tough-dog costume!

The fire station had free hot dogs & hot chocolate if you brought in cans of food for the food drive...not sure why but Ari was soooo excited for this part.

Stacey and me!
Cute girls!!
D and his Best Friend, Jess-ca...Notice his face painting. Once again out of a book full of scary spiders, ghosts, pirates..ect..D chose not ONE but TWO pink hearts...That's my lover boy.

Ari's Race

A couple weeks ago Ari raced in the Aquafest Aquarun-fun run for kids. It was a 2k race, so a little over a mile. She was so excited! She did great!!! I was a little nervous with her little lungs and I'm sure I drove her a little crazy asking her every 2 mins if her chest hurt...but she was fine. We ran into my friend Nikki and her kids were running in it too! Ari hasn't played with Candie in a while but she never forgets a friend, and she was super excited to get to run with her!
