It's funny-I added a signature to the pictures because I read that it's a good idea to discourage image theft and Blondie thinks it is the greatest thing. She is so impressed that I have "signature pictures". :)

The sweetest twins!!
A friend of mine recently had the cutest little twin boys and let me come take pictures of them. I was in heaven, for sure!! They are super sweet and so adorable and cuddly and precious and I could go on forever!! There are so many cute pics, I will post them over a few posts.
They pretty much slept the whole time. We turned the air off so it was warm and toasty. So warm that I was literally dripping sweat. Pretty gross, but worth the sleeping babes. :)
Enjoy!!
Too. much. sweetness. I could eat them up!!
Their mommy wants to use this bear as a way to measure their growth. Cute!
So happy in daddy's arms.
I HAVE to get me some of these sock monkey hats! Darling!
I want to kiss them. Right now!

Summer Pool Pics
Although we have done lots of swimming this summer, I haven't taken any pictures. Ya know, too busy swimming. So I took the camera this last time for some summer 2011 pool pics. And took more than I needed to. :) Enjoy!!
The boys in matching suits. Love!
He started out in floaties, but by the time we left he swam around the entire pool alone without them!!
What goes up must come down? :)
Tailgunner LOVED laying on the raft.

BAck to SchOol!!
Can. You. Believe. It??? Is it REALLY back to school already? Time does fly. It is a bittersweet experience for all of us. I admit that it is really quiet around here this morning, and that's not all bad. :) I hope the kids are having a great day!!
Here are the back to school shots of the morning:
First, the big girls. Teeny Bopper is sporting new bangs and a driver's permit as a sophomore in high school. Did I just say that out loud? I am OLD enough to have a sophomore?? Sweet G with her lovely mermaid hair and glasses that we need to get fixed. Do NOT lose your lens today, K?
Little Miss ready for her first day at a new school. Cutie!
Blondie at a new school, too. Her last year of Elementary!! WHERE has the time gone??
I will miss my girls today!!

Mexico, oh Mexico
We had a WONDERFUL trip last week to our favorite little vacation spot in Mexico. :) Sounds so exotic, eh? Well, I am referring to my in-laws house. It was a dream of a vacation, though. This was for several reasons:
1. I left "real life" behind. Yep. Right here at my house, and believe me it was here waiting for me when we got back.
2. My hubby went with us. Sometimes he has to stay behind and work, but he came this time and it was great!
3. We took 2 cars. What does that spell? H.E.A.V.E.N. We were able to spread out, there was NO fighting, no crying or whining. Oh my, it was the best. ever! I don't know if we will be able to do this again, but I hope so.
and 4. My bff sister from another mother was there with me. We haven't seen each other in a YEAR. A whole YEAR! That is a crime. But, we were able to pick up where we left off as usual. The only problem is that when I leave her i go into mourning for a while. Oh, well. I will look at my cute toes and that will make me smile. :)
What did we do, you ask, down in Mexico? Well.... I didn't take many pictures, but I will steal some from my lovely daughter.
The view of the back yard from the back door. It is child paradise!
The corn field and very tall swing. The guys use a rope to swing the kids on this swing, and let me assure you, it takes them to new heights! The cable swing, aka zip line is off to the right and we didn't get pics of that this time.
The teeter totter. I am scared of this thing, it can be quite dangerous. But fun at the same time. The basketball court is right in front of it.
The kids favorite spot: trampoline.
The tire swings. These are so fun!
The shady hill under the mulberry tree.
My favorite place to sit, the porch swing. You can see the big picture window that is on the back of the house.
The patio, where we always have family bbq's. I love those!
The view of the house from the back. I miss it already!
I don't think it got above the 80's the whole time we were there!! (temperature, that is)
C (my sis in law) and I hung out. We painted toes. We shared massages and facials. We sewed wristlets. We made (and ate) jalapeno poppers. I shared my healthy fudge with her and she loved it. We had a photo shoot (see previous post). We shopped for jewelry at a local lady's house down there that is SO talented at making jewelry. We had the best brownie/cake thing we have EVER had at the jewelry lady's house. We had a double date at a local restaurant. Yum! We played our piano duets and sang together. We dreamed, schemed, and had a grand ole time!!
Oh, and I also played with my kids a little, too. :) They had cousins there, so everyone was happy.
The husbands along with the cousins and my older kids all went to Basaseachi, a gorgeous waterfall further down in Mexico. The pictures I will share here are from that trip. I stayed behind with C, grandma and the little kids. Next year we are planning to take our whole family to the falls.
The falls:
Some street souvenirs:
Some street food:
The cutest little local Indian girls:
Now, we are home. I am glad and not at the same time. It was such a great departure from reality. Well, back to life and getting ready for school to start!
