Bergen's Wedding Extravaganza Weekend.

This weekend we celebrated one of my best friends, Bergen's marriage to Patrick. Bergen and I have been friends since we were in 8th grade and her and Patrick have been together for 4 years. It was such a beautiful wedding at Bergen's Mom's yard. She made a beautiful bride and I was lucky to be one of her bridesmaids. Here a lots of pics from the weekend......

Camping Fun.

*I put the pics in backwards.....
Travis took the kiddos camping this weekend, while I stayed behind to head over to the Nordy's sale w/ some friends. They were the best little campers, according to dad. I think just by looking at the pics, you can tell they had a blast. A blast meaning, no mommy there to say "no" or to keep them away from getting dirty...I am still getting used to them "getting dirty."
At least daddy brushed their teeth, but just take a look at Presley's pjs.....it's quite obvious that daddy dressed her.
He also gave them a bath!!! Look at how perfectly they fit into the tub in our camper....two peas in a pod!

Busy getting dirty and being a big boy...


Busy little campers...notice her outfit again..????




This is the best pic from them all.....DIRTY!!
Overall, they had sooooo much fun!!! When they came home on Sunday, Presley ran through the door to me and gave me a huge hug. I love it. They missed me!! I missed them!!!


New Obsession...


Rubber boots....either they have 1 on or both, but either way, every morning they run to me and want me to put them on. Hilarious! In this pic, I was trying to get a cute pic of her piggies, but she was freaking out about something??!!

New Table.

I bought the twins a little table and chairs from Pottery Barn and they love it. They love it so much that they already drew with crayons all over the wall.....an incentive to get Travis to get someone in here to paint the house (he fired me from painting). The kids feel like big kids and love it.



Rainboots in July.

He even eats in his boots. Isn't it wonderful how Cash eats??? I am getting rid of the high chairs this week. Booster seats are on the way in the mail. Highchairs are a pain in the a$#. For whoever has kids.....change to booster seats, they are so much easier to keep clean.
Cash discovered his rubber boots that I've had in his closet that are too big for him. He loves them. This morning he wanted them over his pjs......too funny.

Twinnies.

I love the twins in their pjs.....

Sissy loves her baby!


Sissy loves her baby and Cash loves his bunny. He takes the ear and rubs it against his face and when he is cuddling with you, he'll rub the bunnies ears against my face. It's so precious. I love it!



She has the biggest blue eyes. When I was little, I also had huge blue eyes. Everywhere we go, people always compliment her eyes. I love them, she's so cute.

17 months.....

Yes, the babies are now 17 months...I can't believe it's been that long. This morning while changing the babies diapers, I asked Travis, "How many diapers do you think I've changed since they were born?" So I took out the calculator and did an estimate....2,550. That doesn't seem like a lot, to me.

They are getting so big! Cash is at least 3 inches taller than Presley. He's solid muscle and such a boy. He is obsessed with bats, balls, golf clubs and anything he can whack. I have to protect little Presley from him all the time. She's definately going to turn out to be a tough little girl! I put him on the scale and he weighs about 26 pounds or so. He's got 12 teeth and loves to eat. His favorite is raspberries and french fries. Cash is quite the dancer...Lady Gaga is his favorite and he'll bust a move anywhere!!

Presley is a peanut. She's so tiny and very smart. She is starting to talk a lot and learning all her animal sounds. She loves to dance. She's super friendly and will give anyone a hug or kiss. She's got all 16 teeth and love to eat also. Her favorite foods are hot dogs, cheese, and pirates booty. Taking sips of my coffee is her favorite. She'll take a little sip, then go, mmmmm....it's so cute. I bought her some chocolate soy milk and we'll heat it up and give her, "her coffee". She loves to read and watch Sesame Street and Barney.

Since it's been warm outside, we play outside in the pool, sandbox and their little slide. We go to the park and the children's museum. They love to go on walks and walk the dogs, each with a leash (it's adorable!).

They are the most hilarous little people and give us endless amount of entertainment. Everyday they surprise me. They have such big hearts and are little lovers, giving lots of hugs and kisses.....my favorite.

It's quite amazing to think I have made it!!! I do mis the little baby stage, however, I have to cherish each moment as I have witnessed first hand how fast it goes!! Before you know it, they'll be in school and at that point I may get some stuff done around the house!

Lily's Bed

The most expensive dog bed ever!

Sesame Street

This is Presley every morning while she watches her Sesame Street. So cute.

Chelan.

So after the busy 4th of July weekend.....we headed to Chelan on Monday to spend a few days. My parents have a condo there, so we packed up and headed out.....w/out daddy...he had to work:( When we go back in August, we'll bring him. The twinnies loved the beach.




I can officially say that I am sick of the sun.
We got back from Chelan yesterday afternoon, then Cash woke up today with a cold. Yuck. We have a busy weekend in Seattle, so tomorrow, I pack up the kids again, and head out.



4th of July

We went to a wedding on July 4th. It was sooooo hot, probably about 95 degrees.Brad(Monica's BF), Monica (SIL/Trav's sister), Me, Presley, Travis and Cash
The wedding was at the Springwood Ranch where Travis and I got married. It was crazy to think, 5 years ago, it was us getting married and look where we are now!!!

Presley tripped and spilled a keg cup of beer on her, she was drenched in beer, so we took her dress off. It was so hot, that it didn't bother her at all....she loved it!


He was drinking water from a champagne glass...he felt so special.




Sunland.

This past weekend we spent Sunday at Sunland with my friend Maria and her family. The kiddos had fun playing in the sand and in the pool. It was the twinnies first boat ride and they loved it. Cash wanted to drive the boat.We took the boat to the sand dunes...probably not the sand dunes that you are thinking...the other side, the more family appropriate side. They loved it.





So much fun!!! The kids were so tired.
