Recipe Websites.

Cooking for 2 toddlers, who most of the time have totally different tastes, then cooking for myself, who likes to eat healthy, is a very hard task. I try not to cook 2 different meals, however I find myself on many occasions doing so, which is very annoying. Cooking dinner has become quite a daunting task. I ask Travis for suggestions and he doesn't quite get it why it's such a big deal...well, when your a stay at home mom, this is a huge decision to make! (pathetic, i know) So, if I don't want to eat chicken speghetti (Cash's favorite) or chicken tacos (Travis's favorite) every night, I am constantly on the hunt for new dishes to make. Luckily, my blog obsession has brought me to some very helpful websites that I've gotten some great ideas from. I thought I'd share in case anyone else has this problem.....

Happy Cooking!

Sweet Presley.

She picked this outfit out herself. She's becoming quite the fashionista. This is her favorite hat. It's mine and she likes to wear it backwards. Whatever works?

Time to get my tan on....

I try to stay out of the sun as I've already seen the affects on my skin. This time of year I begin to be a slave to my self-tanner and my spray tanning sessions. I can't remember the last time I went into a tanning bed and the only time I lay out in the sun is when I am on vacation and I load up on the spf....you still get a tan with spf 50. I still have nightmares of my last day in Cancun (Carrie...probably remembers this...) I left looking like a lobster...blisters and all. The last day of vacation, Carrie and I had facials, then I thought it'd be fun to lay out. Holy f*&%ing sh*&...was I in pain. Not only was I in pain, I was so embarrassed. It was awful. Anyways, I have lots of favorite lotions I use. My most favorite are always from Clarins and luckily I have a BFF that gives me lots (& lots) of free goodies, so recently I got this.....


...and it's fabulous! I love it. I put it over my moisturizer and you can apply every other day to maintain a nice little bronze. I also use it on my face and I love it. It doesn't have a bad fragrence and it dries super fast!
Thanks Bichon!

Easter Weekend.

We had a fun filled weekend this Easter. We visited the Easter Bunny at Suncadia on Saturday. Got dressed up.


Tried to get them pose together...which is impossible!


Practicing before the bunny arrived. Presley HATED the bunny, so once again, like the Santa pic, I am in the picture. I think we got a good one.



We had Travis's family over on Saturday for food and egg coloring. The twins stayed up till 10pm playing with cousins. They had so much fun!





Presley, Taylor, Cash and Samarra.

Easter baskets Sunday Morning. We spent the morning with just us. I made a big breakfast and we played and watched movies.

This is the outfit Presley wanted to wear on Easter Sunday. She threw a HUGE tantrum for at least 30 minutes when I changed her into her dress. It was fun!



Quite the fashionista.




Then we went to Travis's parents house for the egg hunt and dinner.

It was so windy and cold, but they loved every minute. This year the twins really got into it.



The little ones after the hunt.







Presley was telling us that the horses were taking a nap. We had to be quiet.
It was so cold.

This is at 6:30pm. After we got home, cleaned them up, they layed in bed to watch the rest of the baseball game with Travis. They were passed out in 5 minutes. This is what happens with no nap. They slept until 7:30am. Easter was exhausting!

After Dinner Fun.



Cash is OBSESSED with baseball. I mean seriously OBSESSED. He plays all day. We had just gotten back from the EHS game and it was faaaaareeezzzzzzzing....hence his poor little wind-chapped cheeks. He takes watching baseball very seriously. He even sets down his cheese stick or licorice to clap. It's the cutest thing ever. Everytime a someone hits, he says, "Hey, he hit. Did you see that?" "He hit far." "He run fast." It's hilarious. Can't wait to take him to Mariner games. He doesn't even need the T-stand to hit. Travis pitches the ball and Cash just smacks it. Hopefully it'll pan out, we've got 3 kids that will be in college at the same time...we need some scholarships.

Naked, a straw hat, a book and a chainsaw....interesting combination w/ a little speghetti on her face.




Presley isn't particularily into sports, she's more of a dancer/singer. As Cash plays baseball, she stands and claps and says, "Go Cashy!" It's so cute how she cheers for him. I love it. Just like her momma. She's super smart, so she'll definately get a academic scholarship!









Dancy Pants.

Presley and Cash love music. Presley sings all the time. Her new favorite....Justin Bieber's, "Baby." She just rocks out to it. I love it.

Almost 35 weeks.

4 weeks....until the baby comes! The belly has gotten a bit bigger in the past few weeks. I seriously don't know how I had twins bc I can't stop complaining and I hardly complained with the twins. I am annoying myself I complain so much.
