Easter

We had a great Easter- even though it was a little cold. Liviu and O.V. woke up and went to the sunrise service on Easter Morning. I was so proud of O.V.! This is something Livu and his dad always did, and he wants to continue the tradition.

The official family portrait!
Of course, Punky Brewster has her striped tights on at Easter!!
This is Max and my grandfather.
We are ready to dig in!!

Sprout Studio- Our First Trip!!

We went to Sprout Studio for the first time over Spring Break. We stayed for 4 hours, so I think they liked it!!

Trip to the Zoo

Over Spring Break we went to the Zoo with our friend Hallie. We had so much fun....and no one ran away and had to be found by the Zoo rangers!! Not the this has ever happened to one kids- but if it had, it would have been quite embarassing. :)

Margaret's First Sleepover

Margaret Had her first sleepover last week! They had so much fun. It brought back so many silly sleepover memories! Liviu was in shock from the amount of late night giggling that went on!!!



This is the morning after, eating breakfast- they survived!

They love to read books- and Max is worn out!!

Such Bathing Beauties!

What would a sleepover be without painting nails???

Ready for bed!!

After many giggles, they are finally asleep! (Yes, I did move Brooke back onto the bed!!)

A Rainy Day

We Spent a rainy saturday at home on the couch, and it was great!!

Age

I have been thinking a lot lately about age. I will turn 30 this year. I know, I know 30 is so young. I think so too! Modern society tells us to be worried about getting older, that we should do everything we can to turn back the clock. In order to look young we should avoid the sun, spend $$ on face creams, and inject ourselves with botchulism toxin (Botox). I say this is all TOTAL BS!! I would rather be a wrinkled old bag that enjoyed many great years of great vacations basking in the sun, than be inside my whole life. I want to spend my money living my life, not trying to look younger. I can't take my face to heaven!! I will take care of the body that God gave me, but I won't obsess over something that doesn't matter in eternity!

Daily Random Ramblings

Even though it doesn't always show, I put much thought into random things. I am going to write about these things when they come to me, which is usually daily! If you don't want to be my friend anymore after you read them, then I understand! Just kidding, all of my friends already know I have mental problems.....

Tate's 3rd Party

We had a great time at Jumpity Jump with Tate!



Here is Margaret with the PRECIOUS t-shirt Julie made. Thanks Julie!!!

Max and O.V. Snuggle

Max and OV decided to make a bed on the floor in our bedroom to watch tv. They were so cute!

Max and Margaret Choir Preformance

Here is Margaret flying..I guess!
Here is margaret in between her 2 boyfriends!!
As you can see, Max isn't really in to the music thing!

I am not sure "performance" is the correct word to use.....but it was fun to watch!

O.V.'s Basketball Game

Well, we should start saving for college.....because I don't think Ovidiu will be getting any basketball scholarships!!

More Messes

This is what happens when 3 year old twins get a hold of a bag of sugar...
The sugar was scatterd all over the house...I am still cleaning it up!

Liviu isn't the only one that stayes in the bathroom too long-I guess!

Dress Up Time

Max and Margaret got into a tub of O.V.'s old clothes and decided to play dress up. Notice the Rain Boots- O.V.'s wardrobe staple!!!

Hanging around the house

I was out shopping and this is what I found when I came home- everyone asleep!

Margaret got a pink pony for christmas, but Max likes it more than she does...should I be worried??
They love to play on the computer!!
