Day with Daddy

Last Saturday I went with our youth to the temple. I just got called into the Young Womens and really wanted to attend. We had to leave by 6:30am to get there by 10am. It really was a great day and I loved being in the temple. I haven't been to do baptisms for the dead since I was a youth and participating myself. What was really neat was that 4 of the people who came were converts to the church and it was their first time. Two were adults and two were beehives. So awesome. Anyway, so if I'm in Medford of course Jeff is home with the girls. When I got home at 5:30 that evening, this is what I saw. Both girls all dressed up with their hair done and looking so cute. Jeff had the house cleaned and also our van(which was pretty messy). I had to post this so you all know how great Jeff is as a father and a husband.(He won't like that I just wrote that, oh well!) The girls didn't miss me at all! They had Daddy to play with all day. Madi is in the yellow and Gracie in the green. All these pictures were taken by Jeff throughout the day. The pictures with Gracie in the gray headband are her cleaning clothes. She never took a nap and so she helped Jeff with the house. So cute eh?

Too Cute

This was a while ago and I forgot about it until today. I just love when my girls do things simultaneously. They really are twins ha! They have different personalities, but sometimes they do things so similar. I just love being a mom to twins. I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is really hard at times but so rewarding and worth it. I love my twinners

P.S. The video isn't working, I'll try to post it by itself.

sWiNg SeT!!!

Here is the swing set that Jeff made for the girls! They really love swinging and now they can do it in their backyard, thanks to Daddy! We still need to paint it, but other than that it is done.

Happy Easter!!

I hope you all had a great Easter! Unfortunately for me, I was sick over the weekend and didn't make it to church. So bummed. I am feeling better today. Stupid flu. Anyway, the girls were so cute yesterday. Jeff hid their eggs outside in the backyard and they hunted them all down. We didn't get pictures outside because we were filming with our video camera. We don't film them enough on the video camera and thought we should. They got some fun gifts. The big gifts were blocks to play with and also swings, because daddy is in the process of building them a swing set! When it is all finished I'll post some pics.

I also got some candy from the Easter bunny. My husband is soooo thoughtful and wonderful. He took care of the girls all weekend. He did everything. I love him so much. He went and got me soup and saltines and he also got me some Easter candy. My favorite candy right now are the Raspberry Almond M&M's. He put them in some eggs and hid them for me to find. Also, I was telling him that I used to get chocolate bunnies in my basket growing up and I loved the white chocolate ones. So he also got me one! Thanks Babe! Gracie is pink and Madilynn in green.

P.S. Sorry I was in pj's, you know when you are sick it just feels better to be in comfy clothes....

The Beach!

We had great weather over conference weekend.! No rain, and no wind! (sorry to those still in snow, I'm not rubbing it in :) So spur of the moment we decided to take the girls to the beach for real! We have taken them to the ocean before, but they were either to little to walk yet, or it was too cold to let them feel the water and sand. They LOVED it! They got so sandy and wet. What a mess but well worth it. There were sooooo many dogs there and the girls were screaming and running towards all the"puppies" nearest to them. So funny. They did get to pet a puppy lab that just wanted to lick their faces. I think they liked this dog that was just their size. Please don't mind the fat lady in the background. I tried to get out of the shot when Jeff was filming. Silly boy, what was he thinking getting me in the shot? Anyway, my favorite is hearing their pitter-patter across the wet sand. Enjoy!

P.S. After reviewing this I noticed that Madi wasn't in a lot of it. We did get plenty of footage of her too, but Jeff turned the camera vertical and you can't watch a movie that way so I didn't put it on here. K that is all.
