New shirts

A good friend of mine started her own business from home, making hand painted shirts. Mostly she makes super cute onsies but as a special request of mine she made me these super cute initial shirts for the girls.

Aunt Kendra had made the girls some initial shirts over a year ago and the girls wore them all the time, and people loved them too so they could easily tell them apart!
So these are my newest version of their initial shirts.

I just told her a few things about the girls interests and this is what she came up with......


Probably the most different thing I could think of about them is that Renee loves cupcakes and will eat the whole thing, unlike Kaylee just eating the frosting, and Kaylee can manage to eat a whole ice cream cone, unlike Renee who just wants the ice cream!

They both love to dress up, arts and crafts, being outside and being free spirits. Kaylee sure took to flying kites at a young age.


this is my friend Dana. She now has a site on etsy......www.etsy.com/shop/punkiboo
Check her out!

This is the way the twins exercise

This is the way the twins get some exercise, I mean excitment!

Presidents day

Celebrating the Birthday of some great presidents with the day off of school and a get together with moms best friend from high school Crystel and her kids. It's always a great time. The kids really get along, and it feels like a family get together when we are together.

The kids imagination run wild, and so did they!


They are protecting the ship from pirates, or are the pirates invading the ship??

Everyone had fun dressing up and using their imagination

Then we busted out Lego Rockband and all the boys learned quick and had a blast.

FUN Times!! Always love being with my best friend, that makes me happy.
And this picture just makes me smile!

Clean Bill of Health!

Last month I took all the kids in for their yearly well check up appointments and received a Clean Bill of Health on all of them. It's such a blessing to have healthy children!!

Such a different experience than I'm used to at the doctors office.
We used to always go to the doctor wondering....
what was wrong with them now, what illness is this, can you give me some "magic" medicine to help, oh i need to see a specialist for that, great another doctor to see, more test to do and unanswered answers!

But this time I had no questions no weird things to report only good things. (well I guess i did have one "weird thing to report.....Renee still has one of her front teeth to come in! He found that profoundly interesting and we both had a belly laugh about it!)

He did have a question for me...when was the last time I saw you?? And I couldn't answer in all honesty, which was a good feeling. It was either at the beginning of the year or the end of last year, so about a year ago. I had usually been in to see him every other if not every month for one or another of the kids for one reason or another. We became quite good friends hahaha!

So what has changed??? Well I found a great product called Juice Plus+ and our family has all been taking for a year now. It is the only thing that I can contribute to our improved health and lack of doctor visits. It is essentially 17 fruits and vegetables in a capsule or gummy. So instead of spending time and money at the doctors and pharmacy. We now spend money on this but gain soo much more to our life with the blessing of health. No more stressing about sick kids, dealing with sleepless nights or cranky days out from school or church.

He was very intrigued and wanted to know more so I was happy to share the info/research with him, he and his other partners are very interested in the product and want to help get more of their patients on it!! One even started on it right away too! Happy day! Making people healthy and happy makes me soo happy!

So nonetheless, as a nurse and a mother I think it is wonderful. If you are interested and want to know more about it too here is a link to take a look at. http://www.livingandlovingjuiceplus.com/

Here are some pictures of our visit.....

Say AHHHHHHH Renee, Good Job!!


Checking to see if there are any monkeys or carrots inside Kaylee's ears :)



Ryan getting his vision checked and passed with flying colors!

Ryan was pleased with this magic trick!


Renee was proud of her arm which just had a blood pressure checked and was showing it off to everyone! But watch the end of the video for Kaylee's reaction for her turn in true "Kaylee fashion!"
