Back to Blogging

Ok, we are going to try again. I have been away from the blog for 3 months because it's easier to update on facebook but I miss the blog. I miss using my real camera instead of the lousy phone camera. So we will try again.

Our New Addition: Optimus :)

Thursday Night Pajama Party

2010-03-15T12:32:00.001-07:00

This week was Isabella's Spring Break and we were struck with terrible weather all week! By Wednesday we were pulling our hair out trying to find things to do so we decided to do a big Pajama Party the next night. Since we are new to Grand Junction we didn't have any friends to invite but we had a blast all by ourselves. We started things out with blowing up the bouncy house (seen deflated in the background) which was a blast. Then we had a dance contest, makeovers (Daddy was pleased we left Jacob out of that one) and we blew up the air mattress for the scary movie (Monster House.) Both girls had a blast and Daddy said he couldn't take me seriously in my matching pig tails and makeup! :)

Mommo and Jacob

(she said the headband was keeping her hair out of her way)

Isabella was nervous so she posed while no one was looking but me! : )

Giuliana LOVES Mommo and had a great time riding around on her walker.

Good Morning Mommy!

Dinner Prep

Giuliana is always in the kitchen with me. She always wants to be involved in cooking. It makes Jake and I laugh though because she is always there when I start but her interest only lasts about 15-20 minutes and then she is wants to go do something else. I put her in her spot and she asked me to take her picture, she's too funny!

Dinner Time

Pasta is a huge deal around here and all of the kids can't wait to eat it. Probably because we start the sauce first thing in the morning and smell it cooking all day long. Even Jacob is getting into it now!

"Is it ready yet?"

Yum!

Jacob's bowl!

"whoa, this isn't sweet potatoes!"

I could only get one picture to load, and of course it wasn't an action shot but at least it's both of them! :)
