Granny is BACK!

My sweet Mom came to CA for a visit...LOVE IT! We had the best time...OF COURSE! When we get together...A LOT gets accomplished! I was so excited to show her the flooring I had picked out for my house and we played, ate, exercised, ate some more, and shopped till we dropped!




I took my mother who is in her 60s on a 7 mile bike ride:) I mean, whis woman doesn't even work out that much yet she managed to bike 7 miles with us! I was on rollerblades pushing the girls with Charlotte and my Mom biked. We managed to fit in shopping and eating lunch while we were out...hey...eat it then burn it off! We had a blast except Char and I got burnt up...it was a beautiful day:) I'll take it!






Well...when Granny is in town...we just have FUN! The girls had about 20 easter egg hunts...as Olivia puts it..."We are just making sure we get lots of practice for Easter." Its amazing how such small things provide such entertainment!





Thanks, Sonny for the cute bunnies! The girls love them!







I need to do a blog with the title, "Beckyisms.." because my Mom has the most hilarious little sayings...KC gives her such a hard time...it keeps us laughing. The girls managed to pick up lots of these including: "oopsy-daisy","Oh, Mercy!", "Mash it Gabi!",

Among other "Beckyisms"...according to KC, everything has to be compared to something..."Sick as a dog", "Dirty as a pig", "strong as a mule"...HILARIOUS! K.C. mad sure to get her a "round" hamburger because he knows better than to pull thru Wendy's and get a square hamburger...in her book...that is just WRONG!

There were times she was telling the girls to do something and they had no idea what to do..."Gabi, mash it...mash it harder..." Gabi was looking at her like she was totally confused. There are so many but I can't remember them right now.

We had so much fun with you MAMA! Please come again soon! We miss you already!

Liv the Karate Master!

Olivia had her testing a few weeks ago and she was selected to do the form alone in front of the entire testing group. She did it amazingly all by memory which is a huge deal especially for a 4 year old. So, they brought her to the front to "observe" the others doing their form. I think she enjoyed it!




Rocking the board breaks and sparring with the BIG Kids!!




Daddy gets Liv ready to show her moves!





My little YELLOW BELT! Karate has been one of the best things we have done! Discipline, Confidence, Exercise, Manners...LOVE IT!

Liv will say to me..."Mom, I need to exercise...I haven't worked out today!" Oh boy...they definitely pay attention to what we do! I have a little workout buddy already...she corrects my kickboxing moves...she is a YELLOW BELT! HELLO!

Gabi update

This girl is so funny. She is extremely animated in her conversations and her facial expressions are spot on and very dramatic!! So, today she had her cell phone and was pretending to talk to Granny and Grandma and telling them to hurry up and she said, "Vamanos!" I guess all that Dora the Explorer is really paying off!

All Gabi wants to do is play Mommy and Baby. That is pretty much what she and Olivia do all day! They told K.C. and I we can be the Grandma and Grandfather...I told her I wasn't ready for that yet, so could I be the Aunt? She said, "No, you are de Grandma and I'm the baby. I'm hungry can I get a snack Grandma?" WOW! Fine!

Today, Gabi was copying Olivia...Liv said, "STOP!" and Gab said, "STOP...breakdance" and started dancing all around. Where in the heck did that come from? It was hilarious!

Gabi refuses to say prayers. Olivia tries to help her and she folds her arms, looks up to the sky with pouty lips and says, "No! I not gonna do it I told you." Wow, how many stubborn people can live in one household??

At Church, she loves to find her nursery teachers...when she sees them, she keeps saying, "there is my teacher!" in the middle of sacrament and finally goes and sits with them. Thank you so much to our sweet ladies in nursery! No more goldfish, though:)
