What a Slacker!

G&G with the kiddies!

Looking intently at a spider...do they looked connected here?

Gracie holding a cool, purple starfish. Oh my Gracie, she squints in sun like her mommy!

Madi's turn! Poor girl, she squints in the sun too!

Touching something slimy!

Tide pools

Madi..always cheesing it. See her yellow bow?

Gracie..cute hair bows huh? G&G Lau brought them from home. Jeff's cousin made them. We love them!


Madi, and her cool necklaces..(they are my hairbands)

Madilynn on the swings.

Gracie on the swings...always it is "Higher!"
Daddy taught them to climb the rope ladders like 3 months ago! They are pros now. (Grandma was nervous for them)

On April 22nd-26th we had some visitors! Yes, Grandma and Grandpa Lau came to hang out with us for the weekend. I am such a slacker at getting these pictures posted. Anyway, the girls had a blast with their grandparents. Thanks goodness the weather was awesome. The day they left, it started to rain again. Imagine that! We went to the park, dined out a lot, and went to the tide pools. Gracie and Madi just loved touching the sea creatures. Thanks for a wonderful visit. Glad you came!

Beat It

Last month we introduced the girls to Michael Jackson, boy was that a mistake! They just love him. I have his CD's and a music video DVD that has about 12 of his music videos. The girls' favorite songs are Beat It and The Way You Make Me Feel. As soon as we get in the car to go somewhere this is what we hear. "Michael Jackson, Mom!" "Beat It, Mom!" then"turn it up, Mom". I used to like MJ, not anymore! Madi is more of the star in this video. This was at night driving home so the lighting isn't great and it was my cell phone. They have really good rhythm!

Pillow Fight!

Silly girls. They were having sooo much fun. They just started fighting on their own and I had to grab my camera. I love these little twinners so MUCH!!! Oh and I love Madilynn at the end telling me she has hiccups!

Waterfalls!

Me and Madi

We have heard about these waterfalls but never seen them. Since Jeff had President's day off and the day was nice we headed to the falls. It is about an hour from home. They were so beautiful. It felt so nice to get outdoors. The girls just loved it. They hiked up to the Silver falls and then got a ride back down in the backpacks. We also did the same thing to the Golden falls. When we got home, the girls took a long nap. We really hiked them hard for their little legs! It was an awesome day.

Ready for Church

Madi loves her puppy

Once again the spacing is way off, but if I fix it then you can't enlarge the pics. These are pictures of the last two Sundays. We thought they looked pretty cute so we snapped some pics. We go to church at 11 now and we seem to have a little more time on our hands. That is why I straightened their hair. I had 30 min still and I was all ready! Wow! That is a first. :)

Feeding Birds

They love birds so much, and love to feed them. We had leftover popcorn from the movie so we let them have fun throwing it parade style.

Fun Stuff

Jeff and his parents trying out Jeff's new spotting scope out at the ocean. They saw a lot of sea lions and seals.

At the park.

So cute! Gracie is on the right.

The girls just love their new wagon. We took them to a park to feed the birds. They looked so cute in their new scarves and jackets from Great G&G Baird. Thanks so much!
