Random Fun!

The Children's Museum... Enjoying our bikes in the semi-nice weather! Willis Tucker Park in really nice weather! Dylan visits for a few days and we have a party. I need a bigger house!! Jayden sleeping and just waking up from nap. I think she's a cutie! Not sure what this mumbo jumbo is?

Sunny Arizona!

Are you ready for a blog FULL of photos? Then proceed! We went to Arizona for spring break to see my sister and her family. Plus Rachel's cousin Victoria was getting baptized so it worked out perfectly! Here's some pictures of us, yes we're in shorts, it was 80 degrees down there! If only it was pretty! Enjoy! Jayden just looked cute here, so I threw it in first! Victoria got a new bunk bed while we were there, so the kids thought they should break it in. Thanks goodness they didn't really break it! Here's all the kiddos at the baptism, friends and family. Victoria with my awesome Grandma and Grandpa. Aren't they adorable? The whole family! Rachel being her cute self! After the baptism the kids and Grandpa Hanson watched Barbie Thumbelina: My favorite, not! There was a whole lot of this during our vacation, darn boys! We didn't do much during our vacation, just hang out, but we did go to BounceU. The kids and the adults had a blast! The picture is horrible, but this was the best part! Emily even tried boxing. We were laughing so hard that we didn't do much of the boxing! Jayden's favorite was playing basketball. I'm not kidding, she was playing for like 20 minutes at a time. What a cutie! Another cute shot of Jayden I just had to throw in here! Rachel and mommy! We had so much fun together! This was Rachel's favorite part. You can't really tell her but it's a climbing "Thing". There's like four levels made out elastic fabric and it's easy to fall through, so to get to the top takes some work. It took her a while the first time and then she was determined to keep doing it until she got it right. She made it to the top here with dad! Victoria really wanted to take us to the mall. Can you guess why? Because of this cute little Carousel that costs $3 per kid!!! The girls playing at the play area at the mall. Jayden just waking up after a 2 hour nap at the mall. For Victoria's birthday she got some kids makeup. Rachel and her decided to put some on. Don't they look pretty? Normally I'm not a fan of this, but I decided to chill out and let it go. After, it is vacation! Ya, I know, I'm crazy! I think I'm changing my facebook profile picture soon:):) Can you say Bahama Bucks?! So yummy, sugar is! IT's shaved ice with flavored syrup. Can you guess what flavor we had? On our last day the girls decided to color Easter Eggs before our flight. I didn't take this photo so who knows what the eggs look like:) When we were at the mall we bought the girls coordinating outfit from Children's Place. They look so beautiful! Good-bye family and beautiful sunny weather! We had such a good time! We can't wait for them to come up and visit in July, ya know, cause it's too hot in Arizona!!

Soccer Time!

We signed Rachel up for soccer because she wanted to play with her best friend from preschool. I must say, I'm not a fan of sticking kids in sports at such a young age when it costs so much. At this age they would have just as much fun inviting friends over and playing in the backyard. Nonetheless, we did it. Rachel enjoys practice, but not the games because she gets hurt every time. She would not get so much if she would just pay attention:):)She keeps asking me to put her back in swimming, so I did. Now we have 2 weeks of more than one sport, which I also do not like doing. I know, I'm weird. But here are some cute photos of Rachel trying to play soccer! jayden is cheering her on!!

Tag!

So, I got tagged to find the 6th folder and 6th picture in my files. Well, since we just put all my pictures on CD because our hard drive is "in danger", I just went with the year folders. This was taken in 2004 on July 4th at the Edmonds park. This was actually the 5th picture. The 6th picture was the same just not as close up, so I cheated because I absolutely love this picture!! Isn't she precious?!!!!! My little Rachel was just beautiful...well she still is, but it's sad to see how the years have flown by. Who to tag? Camille, Emily Nedry and Leah Black! Go girls!

I have lost half of my wisdom!

On Wednesday I had to get two of my wisdom teeth pulled. What a fun adventure! The morning started with some good old Valium...and off I went to be put under. The next thing I know I'm at home getting a blanket put on me. When I wake up from my nap I asked Brett to take some pictures. He said he already did and showed me them on the camera. I was like, what??? I don't remember those. Then I said I wanted to post something on Facebook and he said I already did that as well. What??? I looked and low and behold there are two ridiculous entries on my Facebook account!! Thank goodness I only lost my memory for a few hours. It was pretty funny and a little unnerving, but I guess that's just what happens! Here are two pictures I don't remember posing for and one I took myself when I got my memory back. I know you're all jealous! Last night a friend of Brett's came over with his boy and I thought this picture was too dang cute! Jayden is such a ham!!!

Cuteness

I've taken some pretty cute photos of the kiddos lately (at least I think so), so I thought I'd share:) Jayden is quite the character and loves hats! Here she's wearing one of Brett's and in the next photo she has snagged the PS2 controller. She thinks she's sooo tricky! (too bad we don't use that controller anymore) I bought this outfit at costco and I thought it was sooo stinkin cute, but it's even more cute with Jayden in it! Doesn't she just exude cuteness?!?!?!? On our way to church I had to take a quick photo of the girls. polka dots and stripes, may fav.!! It looks like Jayden also likes to wear our shoes! Here she is in Brett's huge shoes. She definitely loves him more than me:) I especially love this photo because when I was her age my mom took a picture almost identical to this one. Like mother like daughter I guess! I had to toss one photo of Rachel at dance class. The lighting is horrible in there, so none of my pictures come out good. It's quite frustrating!!!! Rachel looks so cute as a ballerina!
