Bees Game

Friday night I was invited to go with the twins and Cailin to the Bees game. Her work had given out tickets and since I didn't have any plans (mom and mel were at Lagoon) and Carl was working, I gladly accepted the extra ticket. The girls crack me up. They like to take my camera and take pictures themselves, and actually, the majority of these were taken by one of them. I like that Carmel now has that "regular" pose with me, with her arm wrapped around my neck. We like to make silly faces, as you can tell. The best is when Carmel started praying Cailin would get her some cotton candy. I had to document it because it was HILARIOUS. She was praying at the sky, at the cotton candy and popcorn man, and then was thrilled when she was finally able to have some :)

Sabrina's 3rd Birthday

My sweet baby Sabrina turned 3. It is CRAZY to see how big she is and how much she has grown. The twins and I were invited to her swimming party on Saturday so we wrapped up our presents and headed on out. It was freezing. Me being me, I don't care if it's cold rainy snowy or windy when I am swimming, I can swim outside and have it not even phase me. Little did I know, that happened to rub off on Sabrina as well, and so we are actually the perfect swimming companions. It was sad though that the twins became miserable, but luckily we were able to compromise and do some swimming inside where everybody was much more pleasant and tons more fun was had. Sabrina had a Princess themed party and got her first big girl bike. I was truly touched that she remembered me and that she still calls me "mare mare" after it's been about a full year since the last time I saw her. Her mom had joked that she would need to get me and Sabrina off to a water park since Sabrina loves it and could go all day and Jenn isn't quite that into it. I said hey, if your willing to pay for both our tickets I am more than willing to take a day!

Preschool Program

The twins had their preschool program on Saturday. It was very cute. I am always suprised at how well they do for 4 year olds and how great they do. These pictures were taken after the fact as it was a very busy morning and there was other picture taking to be had on Cailin's "better camera". They are stinkin cute and I have to say that this outfit so far is my most favorite. And, of course, what kind of photo shoot would it be if there wasn't some kind of wackiness playing going on afterwards?

Brennan Comes Home!!!

Sweet Brennan came home today after 2 years of serving in the Alabama, Georgia, Florida Mission. I am so glad he is home, and I am happy to report that he is not a totaly different person then what he was before he left. Actually, he is EXACTLY the same :) The necklace he is wearing is from one of his moms friends that means "honor". Him and the Bishopric all had one on. He barely has any time to come home and settle in though because A, his room downstairs isnt finished so he doesn't have a bed yet, has been sitting on the couch B, he is headed to DC for a week with his papa, and C, he basically has no clothes. Hopefully, once he gets home from DC we can get him all settled in. We are laughing in the second picture because the lady I had taking our picture kept calling me his "special friend" and asking him if I was his "special friend" and that she was so priveledged because she was taking pictures that would one day be in our wedding slideshow! Hold the horses lady he's only been home for 48 hours! Welcome Home Brennan!

Melanie is 11

Well it's official. Miss Melanie is 11 (going on 30 HA!) Her birthday was Sunday June 5th and she celebrated by going to church! LOL. She also got to open presents before church from my mom and the boys, and then we headed over to the Browns to celebrate hers, mine, and Kyles birthdays as well. But, I mainly focused on Melanie as it was her birthday birthday. We had parmesian Chicken (which is not on spaghetti in our family, it's just breaded chicken) and then Mel picked Cake roll for dessert and My grandma Brown made me my annual Chocolate Strawberries. Melanie is also doing more celebrating tomorrow by going to Lagoon with her friends for ward lagoon day, My mom is so thrilled to go with them :P HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL!
