I want to RIDE, I want to RIDE

The girls each got their own Barbie Quad for their birthday! The girls love them and let me tell you I have never seen Jeff put together anything faster then he did so he could see the girls on the quads. I have to say its really cute to open the garage and see the girls little quads and all of Jeffs dirt bikes sitting there. It will be interesting to see which one loves dirt bikes as much as their daddy does. My guess is Ashlyn and Jillian will be concerned about how cute she looks in her gear! A huge thanks to Reed, Alison and Annie for the quads now come over and teach them how to press the button:)

The Girls 1st Birthday Party

On Saturday April 3 the girls had their 1st birthday party! We held the party in my parents back yard and Jeff's only request for the party was to have a taco guy(woman) serve up tacos. They were so good. The girls did so well with how many people we had and although they were a bit tired they enjoyed themselves. Thanks to everyone who came out to celebrate Ashlyn and Jillian's 1st birthday it meant a lot to us to have you all there.




The cake table


Candy Buffet party favors. I also had cookie favors that my friend Katie made they were such cute centerpieces and I don't have a picture of them, but they were so adorable and so good so if any of you would like cookie favors for your next party let me know and I will send you her way!

I had to post this pic I love it! So I know this picture is out of order, but as you will see as you get down to the cake scene Ashlyn was a complete mess and of course I pack everything else, but extra clothes thank goodness I had this sweater for her so we took her shirt off since it was covered in cake and put the sweater on her complete with her belly sticking out. So here is Daddy with his girls!

Singing Happy Birthday








Ashlyn is crying here because she wanted to touch the cake with the candle burning and I told her No! She was ready to dig in.


Nickolas making sure Jillian is enjoying her cake. Jillian was so sweet about eating her cake didn't get very messy at all.














Ashlyn on the other hand enjoyed it very much! Of course I had to get a hot pink cake to go with the colors of their party and I put Ashlyn in white capris. Thank goodness to my friend Carrie and Jeff who carried her so nicely into the kitchen so I could clean her off without messing up her white capris

















So tired at the end of the party. Ashlyn sleeping on Grandma

Disneyland

On Friday, March 26 Jeff and I took the girls to Disneyland my family was down and so we tried to make it a big family trip to Disneyland. With two little ones nothing seems to go as planned. We got there around 11:30 and basically we headed towards Small World. For those that know me know that I have become more of a germ a phobe then ever since having the girls so my anxiety was up there and sure enough as we are in line the girl next to Jeff throws up and it splashes on his leg. Yep it was pretty gross. We got on Small World and lets just say the girls were not into it. Jillian was trying to climb out of the boat and she was more interested in the girls behind us and Ashlyn was falling asleep. After small world was done we went through Toon Town and they both asleep. Our Disneyland trip lasted about 3 hours. But hey at least I got Jeff to go to Disneyland those girls have him wrapped around their finger:)

The girls when we first entered Disneyland. Jillian is kicking back

Yep Jillian is getting ready to cry she's got her lip pouting. She wanted out of the boat.
