Touring Seattle with Grandpa and Grandma Gonzales

On our first day touring Seattle we went to the Space Needle, the EMP Museum, and the Pacific Science Center. The kids had so much fun getting to see everything and especially enjoyed the Science Center. Darren and I have been before but it was so much fun with the girls. xoxo Lindz

Abby thought it was great to use the squirt gun to make the pinwheels go.

Madison thought it was great to just shoot stuff with water.

They have a great little kids area at the Science Center. my kids could have spent all day there.

Darren put the kids inside the Tornato simulator. It was seriously hilarious!

Madison splashing all the other kids with water at the Science Center.

Advatar was on display at the EMP Museum.

They had this weird projector at the EMP museum that made your shadow look like a monster.

Easter

We had so much fun this year celebrating Easter at our new place in Washington. The girls had a blast decorating eggs and having an Easter Egg hunt. They are both getting so big and it is getting more fun to celebrate holidays with them. xoxo Lindz

Abby found a bunch of chocolate eggs. I am sure that I will gain an extra 10lbs from them!

Surprise visit from Aunt Courtney and Grandma Rose

Aunt Courtney and Grandma Rose came to visit us in Seattle  for spring break. When we went to pick up Courtney from the airport we found Grandma Rose  at baggage claim! This would not be unusual except that I did not know that she was coming! SURPRISE! We had a fun time making new baby bedding and visiting downtown Seattle. We had fun at the aquarium and walking around the pier. We also drove up to the Space Needle so they could look at it up close. It was really fun to have them some to our house and visit! xoxo Lindz

It's a Girl

It is official we are having our third little Girl. We had an ultrasound a couple of weeks ago and the baby was in a ball so we didn't get many measurements and only a good guess at the sex. We were able to go back on Valentines Day and finish up the Ultrasound. It is a girl for sure ( as sure as they can be.) Darren has taken the news pretty well. I think he is okay with a house full of girls. We are so excited for this little one to come to our house. i am due June 12th! xoxo Lindz

Valentines Day 2012

I have been hearing about Valentines Day everyday for the past three weeks. Abby was obsessed with having a Valentines day party. For three days before Valentines Day she made decorations for the party and even let her little sister help. On Valentines Day we went out to eat with Daddy and decorated our house for the "party." Mommy made dinner and then we opened the presents that daddy got for all of his Valentines. Darren bought me a big piece of red Velvet Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory! It was soooo very good! Valentines Day is not my favorite holiday but it is really fun with kids! xoxo Lindz

The Fun of Skype

Since are family does not live close by are other relative we use Skype for the kids to talk to them. About once a week the kids Skype both their grandparents. They have so much fun seeing them on the computer. We are working with the kids on how to talk on the computer instead of just acting silly! It is a work in progress! xoxo Lindz

Tea Party

Abby had a week where everyday she set up her bed with a picnic for her and her princess dolls. It was so much fun watching her have a little Tea party with her dolls. She came downstairs one day and told me I needed to get pictures of her party. I love her cute imagination! xoxo Lindz
