Easter Morning

I believe the Easter bunny came to our house!

Coming to see what the Easter bunny brought to the girls!Yay!!! Little Pet Shop Pets. They like the Easter Bunny!


Can you spot the silly one?

How about this one?

Cute picture girls.

Ahhhhh-choooo! Family trait...the minute Barry gets into bright sunlight, he sneezes. Quincey has inherited the same trait!

Our annual Easter family picture. I am in my uniform...same white skirt with a spring shirt of some sort.

Happy Easter!

Cutest kids on the cul-de-sac!

I love this picture.

Time for church to celebrate the real meaning of Easter!

Totally Blog Worthy

Today...at McDonald's...in the playplace...Presley played with Elvis...Elvis meet Presley...Presley meet Elvis...you too shall now fall in love...sorry... no picture of Elvis Presley together...

Arizona Trip...Bachelorette Style

The girls and I on our way to Arizona! Barry was going to be out of town and Quincey was on spring break so we decided to hit the road! The girls were awesome travelers...they watched movies, slept, apparantly put stickers all over their faces, counted how many butterflies we smashed on the highway, among other things. It was a good time had by all!We're here Mary!
That night Stacy and her girls met up with Mary, myself, and my girls. Stacy, Mary, and myself were roommates in Provo with Stephanie. We missed you Steph!

Cheeeese!

Quincey, Alexa, Presley, and a yummy french fry.

Mary, McKenna, Stacy, and Giselle

Watching a movie in the playroom.

This is Mary's awesome dog Chloe. She's still a baby! She has one brown eye and one blue eye. Very nice dog.

Next stop...cousin Maila's house. The girls were so excited to be here. When we got there, we walked to Jaden's school to pick him up.

I bought these princess press on nails that the girls couldn't wait to put on and then couldn't wait to take them off less than a minute after they put them on! Sheesh!

My little peanut playing by herself. Poor thing...that night she developed croup and couldn't breathe. She would pace and just say, "mommy, I can't breathe." It was terrible. I called Mary, who is a nurse, and asked her what to do. Figures, the night I am having these problems I wouldn't still be at nurse Mary's home! So at midnight I took her to the ER where they diagnosed her with mild to moderate croup. She was a trooper through the chest x-ray and by just laying there on the hospital bed with me. They gave her a steroid and said she would be better by about 8 in the morning. We went back to Ursula and Dustins about 3 am. By morning, she was breathing a lot better. Very scary but so grateful for the nice staff at the ER.

Next stop...Addy's house! Quincey was so excited to see Addy and to stay at her house! The kids had a great time playing with each other!

Maren D. C. and Maren C. D. Maren and I always have a great time together. It was so fun to just hang out and talk and of course, shop together. Maren is such a great friend and mom!

Right before movie night...Quincey was able to take a minute and strike a pose. Umm...kind of looks like a gang sign...don't worry it's not...it's a C for Coles!

The girly girls during movie night watching Bolt.

Maren and her boys...Austin and Tyler. Such cute boys!

Quincey and Presley at an outside mall playground.

Addy and Quincey and a random little girl!

Miss Quince having fun.

Miss Priss in her new little dress...all she wears these days are dresses!

Sunday after church, right before we left...we sure are going to miss this family! We had such a fun time together.

Last stop...revisit to Mary's house! We were supposed to leave Sunday but the girls and I decided to stay a couple more days so we could hang out more with Mary, Stacy, and her girls. Thank goodness Presley was finally feeling better!

Here are Presley and McKenna doing laps in Mary's hallway. They became such great friends. Presley looking at her pretty self after getting makeup advice from the MAC expert Mary!

Mary was very sweet to lend out her eye shadow and brushes to an almost 3 year old!







The new look: eye shadow on the forehead!




We've got SASS, yes we do; we've got SASS; how 'bout you?



The girls and I had such a great time with all of our friends and family. Thanks to you all for being so hospitable and FUN! Love you guys!

A Day at California Adventure

The week after our rainy day adventure at Disneyland, we met Barry's good friend Aaron and his family at CA Adventure. It was such a nice day. Cute pic guys...keep your eyes on the rink! This is Aaron...very much Aaron...and his cute daughter Aeva. Our families always have a good time together.
Presley was so excited she was finally tall enough to ride the bumper cars...well her pony tail was tall enough!

Having fun on King Triton's Merry Go Round. This was our first time on it.

Getting ready to go really high on the box ride! She loves this ride! Wheeeee!!

Disneyland in the Rain

Barry's brother Dustin and his wife Ursula, and their two kids, Maila and Jaden, came down to see us a few weeks ago to celebrate Maila's 5th birthday. To celebrate, she wanted to go to Disneyland! Quincey and Maila are the best of friends...too bad they live in Arizona! We always have a great time with Dustin and Ursula. Barry and Dustin with all the kiddos!

Presley took an immediate liking for her Uncle Dustin!

Waiting to go into ride Roger Rabbit...the girls really like this ride. So does everyone else it seems...it is always crowded!

A couple Kodak moments in the rain!

The girls are two peas in a pod! They didn't seem to mind the rain too much...it was too much fun using such cute umbrellas!

Remember my little stinkpot? Well, here she is! She knew I was trying to take a picture of her so she kept covering herself with her umbrella...I finally had to come down to her level and snap one! Got you stinker!!

Quincey and Maila got their faces painted with WATER SOLUBLE paint! They did a good job keeping their faces dry though...it lasted the rest of the evening. We actually left right after they had this done. Thanks Uncle Dustin for my painted face!

We are done! We were all soaked...our feet were drenched; our pants were drenched...not fun. I tried to keep Presley as dry as possible and Ursula held the umbrella over us! Good thing Urs and Dustin went early because by the time we got there in the afternoon it was pouring. Amazingly enough, it was still pretty crowded. We were able to go on a few rides so that was good!

Picnic at Home

When daddy is traveling, we like to have lots of picnics in the family room while watching a movie. The girls love these little TV trays...Barry and I received those as a wedding gift. Having a picnic makes dinnertime exciting...they will actually eat more!
When daddy IS home, the girls want to sit right by him during dinner. Look at mom's lonely little plate on the right there...Quincey has to sit by me by default!

Comedy Hour

Joanna and I swapped date nights...they watched our kids one night and we watched theirs another. It worked out great. While the kids were eating dinner, they were cracking some amazingly funny (to them at least) jokes! Barry and I were very much entertained...Great kids!

After dinner the kids enjoyed a great game of Ring Around the Rosey...it got a little rough but no one seemed to be bothered by it!
