4 Generations

5 years ago we took a generations pictures and we took another one this summer.
Only the girls look older.
The rest of us haven't changed a bit...Great grandma, grandma, mommy and the girls.

And now...
How cute are we?!?!?

I wanna freeze this time right now.
Freeze this moment!

Wordful Wednesday

Wordful Wednesday is like Wordless Wednesday,
only WITH words.
It’s for those of us that can’t contain the chatter,
but in a good way.

Kindergarten....
Sigh...We brought Ms. Grenier a home made pencil
flower holder
There are very few times that I think my girls
look identical,
This is one of those times :)

Where did the time go?
How are my babies in Kinder???!!!???
They really do love it though.
4 thumbs up from these two!!

Head on over to Angie's Circus for more WW.

Pep Talks

For the sake of future embarassment I will refrain from assigning a name to said
child in this conversation.
One of our girls is quite tooty.
She has been known to toot in any and all situations.
Dinner table, nighttime prayers you name it.
Daddy thinks she just toots when she gets squeezed,
but no one is squeezing her under the dinner table.

With Kindergarten starting up I decided
that we needed to talk about the right and wrong time to toot.
I tried to tell her that kids in her class may tease her
if they hear her tooting in class, blah blah blah.
I thought I got my point across,
but seriously,
is this really a pep talk parents have before school starts?
At the end of the conversations said girl tooted her loudest toot to date
and hysterical giggles insued from all parties involved.
Maybe not the best way to make a point.
Here's to a rootin' tootin' first year of school!!

This makes me happy!!

This picture just makes me smile!

I love my Momma and my aunt.
And my girls do too!!

T-Ball Time

We have some serious heavy hitters on our hands.
T-ball was super fun for like the first 30 minutes of every game,
then all they wanted was the snack.
I guess it's a really good thing T-ball games only last 55 minutes.


The girls did very well for never holding a bat or glove.
And they improved so much by the end of season.
All 4 bases were ran...in order!!
Hopefully they want to play again next year.
Daddy really enjoyed coaching.
Charlotte at bat

Addison at bat

Baseball ready2,4,6,8 who do we appreciate???
The mom that brought the snack ;)Team photo!!

Catching Up! ...BIG time!!

So I wished my girls a happy birthday but I didn't
post pics of their party.
I have such a fun time planning my girls parties.
I like to go all out.
I mean I only get one party for two kids.
Double the fun!!

The girls were and still are ALL about pink!
So we had a pink sweet treat party.
The girls were so excited to have all their friends from school
there to celebrate.

Homemade birthday banner!

Pink sweet treat table

Saying thank you to all the friends and family!!


I really wished I would have taken more pictures.
There were so many fun pink details.
Better luck next year!

My sweet 5 year olds...
5 months ago!

Hair?!?!

My hair and I have always struggled with one another.
Growing up I hated my orange hair.
The names I was called were enough to send a young girl
into the bathroom with a pair of clippers.
I'm sure you can imagine.
My mom wouldn't let me color my hair
so what does any girl do when she moves away to college?
Dyes, dyes, dyes that orange hair every color but orange.
I will admit I went a lil crazy in college with my hair.
Short, long, dark, blonde, you name it.
At one point I even had yarn weaved in it, don't ask me why...LOL

I still have a love hate relationship with my hair.
I was just trying to figure out how many different colors and cuts I have had
just since the girls have been born.
It was pretty insane.
And after all is said and done I am striving to reach
that perfect shade of...

wait for it...

orange.
Well copper to be exact.
Follow my journey that leads me back to my roots,
haha roots, get it :)

8 weeks pregnant and by far the most crazy.
Blonde and the darkest brown ever, totally natural :)

Trying to weave back in a more natural color.

That only lasted a few months and we are back to dark.

Then we add in a lil red to the dark brown.

I guess that didn't suit my fancy cuz 2 months later I was this
crazy dark color.

And another 2 months I was heading back towards
a more natural color. Seriously...my poor hair.
Then chop and bleach.
Then it just gets blonder and blonder.

And shorter, it was chopped all up the back.

Horrible picture but bay far my favorite cut and color for a while :)

Ohhh and the red comes back!

Very red!

The first appearance of the orange.
Growing out the bob.
Guess I wasn't happy with the red anymore and
opted back to brown.
And then bangs!
Muted more light strawberry blonde
but the bangs remain...
6 months later and still bangs...
I think we have achieved the exact shade of copper
and I think I will keep the bangs for at least a few more months.

What do you think?
Is this your favorite cut and color?

I am surprised my girls don't have an issue
with who is my mommy, I never looked the same for very long :)

Like Mother like daughters...
These bags are filled with clothes they got for their
birthday and they couldn't be happier.
My girls love new clothes and new shoes.
And ever since they got their 'Hannah Montana'
caboodles they think they might actually be
Hannah Montana.

Has It Really 5 Been Years?

Dear Charlotte and Addison,

I hope you weren't disappointed this morning when you woke up and realized that you weren't actually 'a lot' bigger than you were yesterday when you went to sleep. Not sure what gave you the idea that turning 5 turns you into a 'big' girl. Apparently using scissors is allowed at 5 years old and you think you need to wear make up when you go to a birthday party.
All of this behavior is unacceptable to your mommy and daddy. You are still our little girls. You are to stop growing, never use scissors, and definitely not wear makeup ever.

Sincerely, Mommy and Daddy

How can you possibly be 5?
I surely don't feel 5 years older.
And I certainly don't look 5 years older.
This has been the fastest 5 years of my life.
I'd freeze you right now if I could.

Some of my favorite things about you two right now...

You would wear a dress everyday if we let you
You are loving school and love your friends from school
You use 'seriously/serious' a lot and it makes me smile
You can write your name all by your self,
and people can actually read it
You LOVE your cousins to pieces
You praise my cooking almost every dinner,
I love cooking for you
You love to say Grace at dinner and you have the
most sincere blessings, makes my heart melt
You still want to dress the same
You love to dress up in my shoes and clothes
You ask to go to the mall to just walk around and look at things
Sushi is your favorite food
But Charlotte also favors corn dogs
and Addison chow mein and panda bear (orange) chicken
You love pretend cell phones and have VERY in depth
conversations with friends on them
You like telling everyone what your mommy and daddy do for work
You are obsessed with having long hair,
I swear you'd measure it if you could
You love having your nails painted
You love playing tball
but I think you would like to wear a tutu over you uniform
Daddy is teaching you to break dance and you are both naturals


I still cannot believe that you are mine some days.
I very so lucky to have been given the chance to be your mommy.
You are my biggest accomplishment.
You make so many people smile everyday.
Your giggles alone quite possibly could start world peace.

Happy Happy birthday my sweet baby girls.

Way Back When-esday

I'm adding a lil twist to way back today,

Hope Cheryl doesn't mind :)

This picture was taken the first time my girls
met their 'future husbands'. :)
A fellow pair of MoMo babies.
The sparks were far from flying I might add.
Angie and I had to seriously bribe them
to even stand next to each other.
Taken May 9, 2009
Both sets of twins were 3 years old.


This time around we didn't have to bribe at
them with anything.
They grabbed on and hugged like long time friends.
I just adore these boys.
Taken March 2, 2011
The boys are 5 and my girls are 4.

How stinkin' cute are they?

Obsessive...
My girls and cell phones.
And it doesn't matter if they are real or fake.
Every birthday and Christmas
an iphone is on the top of the list.
And for the record that is not going to happen.

But in the mean time, these will have to do...
Can you tell which ones are real????

Funny Ph(F)rases Friday

Two weeks in a row,
it's a miracle :)

Driving in the car

Charlotte: 'Mommy did you know that god made
all the people different?
Like he made different hair kinds, different colors,
different skinny, and gave them different cars.
But he made me and my sister the same
cuz we were extra special.
And cuz we are twins.
Did you know that mommy?'
Me: I sure did (smiling)


Playing with my hair

Addison: You have a line right there
(as she points to my forehead wrinkle)
Me: It's called a wrinkle.
Addison: What's a wrinkle?
Me: Lines you get when you get old
(said with a grimace look on my face)
Addison: Ahhhh momma.
(and she hugs me)

Funny Ph(F)rases Friday

The girls have me laughing pretty much all day
with the silly things they say.


In the bathroom watching me put on makeup

Charlotte: You don't look familiar to me with that makeup.
Addison: You have too much makeup on Mommy,
you are gonna embarrass me.

Seriously?!?!?!
I was speechless.
Guess I should refrain from trying new looks.


Still in the bathroom

Me: Charlotte what are you doing?
Charlotte: I am putting make up on my freckle
so I can only have one just like Addison.
Me: Why would you wanna do that? I love your freckles.
Charlotte: Yea I know you love them
but then we can pretend to be the same.

LOL! It's already starting...

Way Back When-esday

The other day I was looking thru old photos
trying to find something in particular
and I ended up getting lost in all the cutest of my girls
over the past 4 years.

So I figured if I had so much fun looking 'way back' you may too
so I am linking up with Cheryl.
Never mind the date on the picture.
My camera was off by 3 years :)
This was taken 1/17/2007
The girls were 10 months old.
Already little budding fashionistas.

How crafty are my peanuts??
They got suction cup toothbrushes from the dentist last week
and figured out that they could stick them
to the mirror and put on the toothpaste.
Baby genius' I tell you.

One Bad Word

Spoiler alert...
We have been known to use a bad word
here and there in our house.
Not often.
And usually not around the girls.
But they slip out sometimes.

As far as our girls know there are 3 bad words.
Stupid, Caca, and poo poo.
I know horrible right?
The innocence is amazing.

So imagine my shock jaw dropping to the floor,
when one of my girls used a real life hideous word.
Like a word that you would never say in front of your grandparents.

She didn't quite use it right which makes it a little less painful.
And it's not one of the phrases I have been known to use.
hint hint hubby/daddy
But nonetheless awful.

So what does any good parent do in this situation?
Ignore, ignore, ignore.
Then run to the other room and giggle a lot.
I mean seriously such a bad word coming out of
such a sweet little girl,
Even my grandma would laugh....Possibly.

I heart faces 'Innocent Wonder'

“Innocent Wonder”This photo completely captures
my Bean.
She was in awe of how far she
could throw the duck food.
I heart her.
