Twinsies!

Allie and Emma love to match! And believe me, I will encourage it :) Nothing cuter than matching girls! Here are some bedtime giggles in matching pjs!

Making silly faces!  I hope they always have fun together!

Bonk!

Poor Allie! When we got home from walking Caden to school, Allie wanted to unzip her sweatshirt by herself. As she was trying, she tripped and her head hit the wall-the kind of hit that takes them a moment to cry. Poor Allie! But she did cuddle me on my lap with some ice on her forehead while we put on Minnie Mouse. Sweet baby girl!

Oh Allie!

Walking to school

We were walking Caden to school this morning and when I looked back behind me, I saw this! Cuties!

I hope they'll walk like this together next year! So sweet!

Brownie the Worm!

We had a great morning playing outside and Emma saved a worm!  She found it squirming around on our patio and picked it up and put it in this pink bucket, then went to find a shovel to give our little worm some dirt.  The worm, named Brownie, is now hapily back in the soil in the bucket!  (Not quite sure how we will let it go back to the dirt - it is hard as rock from this drought)  Emma is our little nature girl and wants to save everything!

Ashley and Allie - Allie was not quite sure of the worm (the look on her face says it all!)

Emma and Brownie reunited after school

She's still in love with her little pet

Caden thought Brownie was pretty cool too, but wouldn't touch it. 

Dinner party!

Tonight we had an amazing dinner party at our house! We hired a chef and he made us an appetizer with 3 dips - hummus, tatziki, and red pepper dip with baked pita. Then for dinner we had roasted heirloom and goat cheese tartlets with rosemary and thyme drizzled with honey. Arugula salad with toasted hazelnuts, cranberries, and pear with white balsamic vinaigrette. Spice crusted grilled salmon with broccoli rabe pesto, and roasted brussels sprouts. Dessert was a molten chocolate cake. Delicious! The whole night was wonderful! Drank Mahonia wine with great friends- the Zuckers, Rodriguezes, Rodgers, and Ayers.

Dr. Seuss in the morning

This morning Caden woke up rather early, got dressed, and went to work! He was so proud of his drawings!

So proud of himself!

Ballerina at the park!

Emma and Allie were having so much fun together at the park today after music class. They were busy playing in the sandbox together. Just love how they now play together!

Anyone want a shovel?!?

Circling for Allie!

Super cute! Emma was busy circling things in a Fisher-Price magazine that came to our house today. She chose a MiniMouse toy for Allie and wrote her name (knowing that Allie LOVES "Min") Absolutely precious! Emma girl has the sweetest and kindest heart. Love that girl and her big heart.
