Cloud 9 Jumps

Grandpa and Lola Sochulak came down from Seattle for a short visit. We took the girls to a bounce house called Cloud 9 Jumps. The girls had a great time going down slides and obstacle courses and playing basketball. Grandpa and Lola were glad to see their grandkids having so much fun!
Addison loves to do tricks with the basketball!
Lola is "stayin' alive" on the interactive gameboard!

Gracie just finished the obstacle course...she looks proud!

The girls are jousting with their daddy! I hope he let them win!!

They got a roller coaster as an early birthday gift. They invent lots of games on that thing!

Addy is going down fast!

Gracie is giving us a wave as Addy pushes her down.

Check out the twins sleeping...same position...like mirror twins. Amazing!

Our Family Trip To Reno!

For Valentine's weekend and President's weekend, we decided to take the girls to Reno. The girls got to see snow during the drive, but it was too cold to take them to the snow park :( We stayed at the Peppermill casino and did lots of fun stuff with Gracie and Addison. They went to an arcade, an indoor playplace, a jumpy house, Circus Circus, and got to play at our friend Jim and Kim's house. We were busy busy all weekend but they had a great time! Gary got to gamble while the girls were sleeping (it paid for our entire trip and we came home with some winnings too)!
Gracie made a friend in the lobby!
Talk about looking at identical twins! Not really sure who's who! Ok, Gracie is on the left but it's a toughy :)

The girls driving the coupe! They look like pros!

Here's Gracie about to go down the slide.

"Beep beep" says Addy! She's got to check the gas tank!

Our friend Jim and Kim's boy Colton and the girls are dancing! He's 23 months and the girls fight over him. Every time Gracie sees his picture she says "boy"! So cute!

The ring toss at Circus Circus. Brought back so many memories for me as a kid. Remember dad spending oodles of money to win us those gigantic stuffed animals!

Gracie and Addy getting ready for a game.

Gracie is putting Addison's hat on for her.


They just love being together all of the time. So great to watch their special bond!

Mommy and Gracie going down the bouncy slide. Whee!!

Looks like they are all line dancing! Having fun, that's for sure!

Potty Time!

The girls are showing some signs that they might be ready to potty train, so we introduced them to their little potties. They didn't actually "go", but they enjoyed sitting on them. :) Gracie accidentally went on the rug, got sad, and pointed to her work. I guess mommy and daddy are ready to take on this challenge. Wish us all luck!
Gracie is happy to be sitting on her potty.
Addison wants Gracie to sit next to her. Moral support maybe!

How cute do these two look?!


Oh, they decided to trade potties. They do this with everything!

Jungle Tigers Music Class

Every Tuesday the girls and I go to music class in downtown Vacaville. They have such a good time with it. They are learning lots of new skills and Miss Donna is amazing with the children.
Here they are in the choo-choo train. Mommy has to lug them around!

Addy is checking out her horse, making sure the reigns work. She wants to go fast!


Gracie playing her guitar. So much fun!

Addy is dancing with her guitar!



They are beating their sticks to the beat. We look forward to Tuesdays. Wouldn't you? :)

First Haircut!

Gary's friend from work cuts hair so on Saturday she came over and gave the girls their very first haircut. It only took the girls 21 months to grow enough hair! Anyway, they did a really great job sitting still.
Check out the BIG pile of hair...pretty pathetic huh? But we had to even it all out!
Addy is serious about keeping still!

Gracie is enjoying her first trim.


Little pony tails, how cute is that?



Gracie is looking pretty darn adorable!

A Summer Day in January

It was 70 degrees today so the girls got to go outside and play on their slide. Oh, what a spectacular day! You can tell that the girls are definitely enjoying themselves.

Gracie is cracking up about something!

Addy is double-fisting their two babies. She wanted them to enjoy the sunshine too!

Girls' Room

Here's a picture of the girls' room. Yeah, we know it's a little bright, but I love it so I guess that is really all that matters. :) Our dear friend Chris did most of the work...and he did an amazing job. Hopefully the girls will like it...frankly they don't have a choice. We love our new home and look forward to many years of memories and happiness!
