Time in Fresno

I stole these pictures from my sister in law Amber (thank you!). Here are some pictures of Annie and Hailey who are only three weeks apart and are so fun and cute! I was also able to be there to celebrate Russ's Birthday! It was a good few weeks! :)

A trip to Cali October 2011

Thanks to my parents I was able to fly home to Fresno to see my family. Steve of course couldn't come so I was VERY brave and flew by myself with a four year old and one year old from coast to coast! As you can imagine this was something I worried about quite a bit so I brought a stroller for Annie to ride in and (even though I despise these) a kid "harness" for Katie. I also dressed us all alike in Khaki pants and a brown shirt. The girls shirts even matched completely. I thought that if I lost one kid I could show people the other kid and say this is what she is wearing just bigger or smaller depending on which child I lost! Well thankfully I didn't lose either kid however our first flight had some issues meaning we missed our connecting flight out of the Dallas Ft. Worth Airport. No big deal right? WRONG! Guess how long our layover was........8 HOURS!!! Not kidding! I had to entertain my girls in an airport for EIGHT HOURS! It was a loooong and interesting day. Both girls did quite well considering we were on the go for almost 20 hours that day. Thankfully the Dallas Ft. Worth Airport is huge so we did a lot of walking and exploring. My camera battery was not charged prior to my leaving (oops!) so I only have pictures of us trying to waste time at the airport not any of our time in Fresno.

On our first flight! We are so excited and happy here!

On the people mover (again!) in the Dallas Airport

This picture is my favorite (I zoomed in on it below so you can get the full effect) this was after about 3 hours of hanging out in the airport running out of things to do already and I remember thinking, "I still have 5 more hours of this!"

Needless to say when we finally landed in Fresno my kids were not the only ones shedding a few tears! We had a great time visiting my family and I would do it again even with the 8 hour layover!

Disney World Characters

I have honestly lost count of how many times we have been to the happiest place on earth. We feel so lucky to be so close to Disney World and to be able to go just about as often as we want. The girls really love it! Here are some photos of us (mainly Katie) meeting some of her favorite characters!

I just have to comment on this picture! Annie is not always sure about being placed next to these characters for a picture and you can definitely see what she is thinking in this picture with Winne the Pooh! hahaha

Recent cute pictures

Tuesday night is family night at Chick Fil A. This includes face painting for the kids!

Grandma and Grandpa visit...March 2011

I am so happy Grandma and Grandpa got to come and play with us! Grandma and Grandpa went on a cruise and then they got to come and spend some time with us. We did a lot! We went to the beach, zoo, children's museum, and Disney World! I sure loved having my parents here and I know the girls loved having Grandma and Grandpa to play with. I wish they could have stayed even longer but I am thankful for the time we did have.

We played on the beach!
