Okay, too tire to write anything, but wanted to post my daily pictures. :)

I took the kids down to Byron's office today and Olsen is in his terrible two. Here are some pictures of how it played out.





Afterward, Byron took the kids home and I went to pilates. Here is the studio that I work out in. It is small and CLEAN. I love it. You can see my instructor poking her head out of her massage room.

Red Shoes

This isn't the greatest picture of Gabriella, but it is the best I can find of her wearing her pretty red shoes Lore Nygren made. They were the talk of Kona for the month of December. My MIL even made that dress for her to go with the shoes. That is also Gabriella's first time wearing tights.

bungie jumpin' and block buildin'

We brought out Olsen's old jump-a-roo and Gabriella loves it. Olsen first tried it out when we were visiting Washington DC back in 2005 and he got a ride in Penelope's. He had such a good time that we had to get one for him when we got home. Now it's Gabriella's turn. She is getting great exercise in it and it keeps her entertained enough so I can get a few chores done around the house.


Olsen, the amazing builder

Gabriella's bath

I'm going to take Camilla's challenge and try to take a picture everyday and post it. It will be easy to take the picture (two cute kids make it really easy), but posting it might be hard. I will do my best.

Today was a beautiful day and decided to go to the beach. Not bad way to start the new year. Unfortunately I forgot the camera, but did get some of Olsen helping bathe Gabriella.

Olsen love Toy Story Two. At the end of the movie Woody has he legs crossed and Olsen decided to copy him. He is cute that way.


While driving around yesterday, Olsen needed to look cool in his mom's extra sunglasses.

We went to the park the other day and Olsen had a blast. I really should go more often. He is such a social kid and makes friends where ever he goes.



Later we picked up Byron from work and to check out the new shops at one of the resorts. Olsen found the water fountain. Yeah for drinking clorine water. :)

Requested by Amalie

Amalie wanted to see a picture of the necklace I got for Christmas. Byron let me open it a couple days early for the Tihati Christmas dinner on Saturday night. He completely surprised me with it. I told him about that necklace a month and a half ago (when Amalie was in town, we saw it together) and did not expect it at all. He is good that way. :)

Christmas Morning

Christmas really does get more fun once you have kids. To see the joy on Olsen's face when he would open up his presents was worth it all. He got really excited with all the different cars he got. I can only imagine how next year will be.

Chistmas was busy and fun. We had everyone come over for a very yummy breakfast (more like a brunch) at our house this morning. Very different when you are cooking for 12 people..... I think we used every pan in the house, and then some. I found a great recipe from W&C catalog for the best french toast I ever had. Oh yay, it was that good.

Tonight we had our big Christmas dinner at Byron's parents house. A lot of people and a lot of food. Good times.

Merry Christmas everyone

Olsen's new Lightin' McQueen trike

He loves his new Cowboy Woody doll (he opened Buzz next)

Playing cars (what a surprise)

Gabriella's new caterpiller rocker (Daddy is helping her for now)

Just another pretty girl with a flower in her hair.

Pictures

Here are some more pictures. I need to post pictures more often. I know my mom love to see updated pictures as often as possible. I finally took some by the tree. The second picture is when Olsen came into the house after getting soaked by the sprinkler yesterday. Sweet Gabriella is always smiling. She has to be the happiest baby. Seriously, she loves when people talk to her. She lights up!

Cara - hope you are feeling well. What, just 6 more weeks? I want to see some pictures of you. :)
