Hanging out at home!

Nothing overly major has been happening around the Stevens home lately but we have been keeping busy even with the cold weather. My kids always add a lot of entertainment in our lives so here is some cute little pictures of them.

We had a fabulous snow day and Talmadge got to have 2 awesome play dates in it. First with Georgia and Van Anderson who he loves to play with. To top it off with hot chocolate to warm up!! (Sometimes it is way to much fun being a mom)

Then, he had Makenzie over to play. I love this picture, look at the size of the snow balls they are about to throw in each others faces!

Then, we had Matts birthday party, big old #34. Talmadge was nice enough to blow out all of Dad's candles before he could even get a breath to do it.

More and More and More puzzles all the time!

Having fun building Legos!

Always love hanging out with Grandma!

Both of the girls have become seriously obsessed with this backpack. They put is on and wear it all around the house no matter what they are doing. It is the cutest thing ever!

Ok, my girls get the funniest hair at night when you take out their hair from the day it always sticks straight up and makes us laugh so hard! Not to mention the smile that could melt any heart!

The girls love their strollers going all over the house with them!

Though we are having fun in the winter we continue to dream of warmer days when we can play soccer outside instead of inside! Soccer starts next month for this little boy and he couldn't be more happy.

Christmas time!!!

We started out our fabulous Christmas with a little family get together at the B'Arnells. Before Mom headed off to Denver and we headed off to Vancouver. And as usual was just so much fun had by all. Little note, by the time we got around to opening presents, yes, my girls look a little hashed, but you got to love them anyways!!!

The fabulous Babbitt sisters. Three peas in a pod.

Next we packed up the car and headed off to Vancouver, to spend it with the Stevens family.

We started it all out with a little Birthday party for Talmadge, I and Trey who we all have our Birthday barely a week apart.

Then we headed off to some fun family bowling. Nothing like passing one kid for another kid for another kid so we can all have a chance to bowl.

The girls thought that the bowling balls were awesome and had so much fun playing with them all.

Nanna being awesome and holding both girls so we could bowl. Poor Vienna wasn't having anybody holding her.

Hanging out with the cousins!

The fabulous Stevens girls!

Sexy picture brought on by Brittany, but I think it is fun of us!!

Then we had a little polar express to deliver the new Christmas PJ's

Then back home to make orange cookies for Santa!! Talmadge was so exited for Santa this year. Seriously the funnest year since I have had kids!!

First thing Christmas morning we headed off to church. Which was a great way to spend Christmas morning before opening presents.

Yes, you may all laugh at my girls as hard as I did in this picture!!

After church the kids all lined up in their Christmas PJ's to head down stairs and open presents!

Now here is my cute, happy little girl!

Santa brought Talmadge the exact present he asked for.

Some more awesome spiderman PJ"s

My girls first doll house. Only been waiting so many years to buy this!!!

The next day we headed off to the Children's Museum. (Coolest Place) They had a Lego exhibit going on, hence Paris's awesome outfit.

The water exhibit which the kids loved and got drenched in.

Talmadge and Grandpa being a veterinarian.

This area has tons of cut up tires for the kids to go in and play!

The girls have to follow their brother every were he goes!

Talmadges favorite section. The groceries and cooking section!

Then off to play with cousins..........

....and tackling Uncle Nick!!

Last but not least a peaceful ride back home!!!

What a great Christmas from start to finish!!!!

Happy Happy Birthday

Well as you all know my little boy turned 4, so sad how fast the years have gone. I couldn't be any prouder of my little boy though and so happy to have him in my life every single day. For those who don't see him all the time here are some things about him.

He is the boy with a million questions all the time, his favorite color is orange, he loves loves spider man, he thinks all sports are the best, he loves broccoli (weird I know), and apposed from the occasional big brother teasing is seriously is the best big brother any sister or sisters could ask for!!

My sweet little boy just a couple days old.

Now 4 years old I can hardly believe it. Isn't he about the most handsome boy ever!!!

We did the usual for our Birthday's "bowling", pizza, present and family, we love it and Talmadge looks so forward to it every year!!!

These two are such best little friends and it could not be anymore fun. They love to play and cheer each other on for everything in life!

However said that three is a crowd, has not been around these three. Regardless of the age gap these 3 have a blast together.

This was the year of Spider Man. He got almost everything Spider Man for his birthday and could not have been any more stoked. Including this awesome Spidy bike and helmet. His first big boy bike, so much fun for Matt and I. Now we just need summer to come.

Thank you once again my little man for letting me share your Birthday with you, you make it so much fun! I love you more then words can say!!!

R&R Anyone?

Ok, so Matt and I survived our first year of having twins. We thought we were due for a trip, just the 2 of us. It has been since our honey moon that we have taken a big trip just the 2 of us. So, we decided to make it a big one. There are tons of pictures so hopefully you enjoy!

Our first stop was DisneyWorld, Orlando, Florida!!! We only had 1 full day before we had to be in Miami for our cruise so we decided to do Magic Kingdom. Nothing like feeling like 2 kids in a candy shop.

You have to take a ferry over to the park, it is totally surrounded by water.

Let the fun begin!!!

What a way to rekindle the love!!

They had a fabulous mid day parade!

And an awesome show they put on right in front of the castle throughout the day!

We ended the night with Mickey lighting up the castle in tons of Christmas lights. I cannot even tell you how breathtaking this is in person. i could have sat and stared at it all night!!

Nothing like DisneyWorld as an adult with no kids. Talk about fun with no worries in the world!!!!!!

Then we set off on our 6 day cruise!!! For any of you who have not taken a cruise before, I would so highly recommend it. I don't think I have ever been so relaxed on a vacation before. Not having to worry about a thing. All food is taken care of no travel and just relaxing, eating a ton and seeing lots of fabulous places that are warm and beautiful. What more can you ask for!

See you later Miami we are off!!!

The first day we spent at sea. For all those parents out there picture, sleeping in till 11 then going out and laying out all day, reading books and listening to music till 5, then going in and getting ready for a fabulous dinner and dancing. Couldn't ask for more.

The view we got to stare at while laying out!

The first stop was at Grand Turks in the Bahamas

Sitting at heaven!

Then we went to a little island right off, Grand Turk and swam with the Sting Rays and went storkling. Most of our pictures are on our water camera. It was an awesome thing swimming with the sting rays we even got to feed them.

This is the Conch shell the Matt got us while snorkeling.

After that we heading down town to these little shops

Then we had these Counch fritters right next to this huge pier just sitting looking out over the ocean, it was so beautiful!!

Next, we took off to Half Moon Cay. This is Carnivals private island and has the most beautiful water I have ever seen in my life!! It was like they painted the bottom of the ocean blue. The sand was butter soft too.

We took a bike tour around the island it was quite fun.

The crab that bit Matt while we were swimming!

Last stop was Nasah Bahamas.

There was tons of fabulous shopping, which I drove Matt nuts going up and down each aisle. But it is one of my favorite things about going to these places.

It was so great. One of our best friends, Mandy and Jason were also on a cruise and we just happened to be in Nasah the same day we were. So we got to hang out at the beach together for the day. Man we miss these guys and can't wait for them to move back!

Leaving Nasah with a beautiful sunset!

Last night on the ship, and last night of the best dinners we have had in a really long time if ever!!!
