Oh, Mr. Sun, Sun, Mr. Golden Sun...

Please shine down on me...

and so he did. Thanks, Mr. Sun, for two days of sunshine and outdoor play. Praise Jesus, says Mommy! ;) Yesterday we went to Fairytale Town with Mommy and Grammy and this morning was filled with bubbles and bark (Mommy let us blow our own bubbles today and make our famous bark wedding pie). We are napping now, but boy, did we have a good time playing in your warmth. Keep up the good work!

Easter Sunday Funday

Here are some shots of our Easter extravaganza this year. We went to mass and then headed back to the homestead for some Easter brunch (mimosas, bloody marys and champagne for the adults to ease the pain of a very long mass with three toddlers) and an egg hunt. It was a spectacular day except for the fact that I was suffering from a cold that my sister (of course!) contracted that evening... followed by another one of her febrile seizures. Thankfully, M&D were quick to the rescue and knew the ins and outs of such a situation. Sissy is suffering from the same cold I have only she tends to take things to the extreme with her fevers ;) It's all very common so don't worry, people... :) She will outgrow it by age 2. Not so much fun for M&D, but my sister doesn't do anything quietly. She's a diva. Plain and simple. Like I can talk...

Love and happy belated Easter!

A Day in the Life

Sis and I have been so blessed to have so many wonderful family members. This week we were lucky enough to have sweet cousin, Ben, stay with us for a few days. We played, sang, danced, did art projects, read books and watched "Diego." While Mommy was tired and unsure of her sanity at the end of day 3, we sure had fun ;) Here are some pics of the week, including a bday party at a bounce house the weekend before. Happy Good Friday! Easter pics to be posted soon, I'm sure :)

Folsom Zoo Sanctuary for Feral Cats

No people, I'm not joking. Feral cats were the first exhibit at the lackluster Folsom Zoo today. We moved on to peacocks, some black birds and a couple of wild boars... M&D were less than pleased carting us around in the heat, beautiful day today! We finally hit the jackpot, though, with a fabulously large and consequently hot, grizzly bear. Here are some shots of our adventure. Happy Saturday!

Rain, rain go away...

Our Hoosier guests have left us and the rain has started up again after a few days of 75 degree, beautiful weather. boo :( Stella and I have taken to building forts and beds in the kitchen while Mommy cooks. Please, Mommy, can't I sleep on the kitchen floor just tonight? ;)

Hoosiers in the House

Auntie Kristina, Uncle Jason and cousin Evan came to sunny California for some family time this past week and boy did we have fun. Cousin Evan is 10 years old and quite the "big boy," but he still played dolls and helped me dress my build a bear, proving to be a spectacular cousin. He even let Sissy throw balls at him. What a trooper! Auntie Kris and Uncle Jason spoiled us rotten with new Easter books and some sassy new clothes. Thanks for coming, guys, we love you!!!! xoxo Stella & Vio

Daddy Time

We love Daddy so much and don't get to play with him all week because he's hard at work so today we took FULL advantage of "Daddy Time." We played soccer outside, watched Tinkerbell the movie and ate all sorts of junk food. Perfect Daddy day! Mommy just sat back and watched with a smirk on her face as Daddy tried to tame Sis and I as we brawled over dolls, balls and cheese puffs. Happy Saturday!
