Our Bike Riders!

Check out our new toy! We went to the bike shop in Vacaville to get our bikes a tune up and new tires, and decided to get a cart for the girls. They absolutely love going for bike rides! It will be great for summer where we can take them on lots of beautiful trails all around the area.

Getting ready to go for a ride!
Gracie is posing but Addison is anxious to get moving.

How cute do they look in their little ride!

Trip To Indian Wells

We spent the last night at my friend Manny's house in Shell Beach. Addy and Manny are having a mighty good time!
Playing tennis on the Wii. Check out my form...you'd think we were bowling or something.

Daddy and Gracie running through the sprinklers. Gracie loved it and even went through by herself!

The girls mastered the two playgrounds our resort had by the end of the trip. Here they are...our two little monkeys!

There were a few ducks that hung out in the man-made lakes at our resort. The girls really enjoyed watching them swim.

Gracie and Addy splashing with daddy.

Relaxing in the baby pool. What a life, huh? Talk about being spoiled!

We went to a Children's Museum in Rancho Mirage. The girls got to color.

These were ropes in a big circle. They stayed in this area for a long time!

There they are in their tennis outfits ready to watch Nadal and Federer! Bubbles...what fun!

We packed our bags and headed to Indian Wells to watch tennis and to hang out at our resort and relax. The last few times we have been down there the weather has been so crappy. Well, not this time! It was in the 80s and 90s all week! We spent the first few days watching all the pro tennis players with a view of the beautiful desert, and the last days absorbing the sunshine and just hanging out.

Bounce House

We got the girls a bounce house for their birthday party. But of course we had to check it out now! I know, we sure do spoil those girls don't we? They love it and we are happy with the quality of it too. A win win!
It fits perfectly in our backyard.
Addison loves going down the slide.

Gracie is saying cheese for the camera.


She shoots, she scores!
Pretty neat bounce house. Maybe we'll start charging the neighbors if they want to come and play! :)

Silly Pictures

Grandma Schmidt made the girls aprons for their kitchens. They are true chefs now! And check out the girls awesome hair below!!
Addy's cookies are baking in the oven.
Gracie likes the cool pocket in her apron!

Wow, this is what their hair looks like after the ponytail. My little peacock!


My other little peacock!

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!
