No, they're not twins

Wherever we go we get asked if these two are twins. We think we should make shirts that say " No, were not twins" "We're cousins"

Cousins

These cousins have fun playing together. Scarlette and Cash roll around together. Scarlette likes to give him hugs. But Cash isn't as enthusiastic about them. Maggie likes to have all the good toys and gives the babies something else to play with. They are finding their own special ways to get along with each other. And it's wonderful!

beach & family fun

Well, this past weekend has been quite busy. My sisters and their families came down to visit and Sunday was John and my nephews birthday. On Saturday we went to the beach. It was a beautiful day. Sunny and warm. Even at Erin's house in Costa Mesa it was a nice day. But as we got closer to the beach the clouds showed up and it got cold. We were pretty disappointed, but it still was a fun day.

Scarlette looking so cute in her suit...


She wasn't a big fan of the water though...


Cash kept trying to get Scarlette to play, but she wasn't interested...


But eventually she gave in...


We had tons of fun with the family. It' so much fun to visit with them and watch the kids play together and the memories we make. I can't wait for the next get-together.

Cash couldn't be the only rockstar

lovin' the life


even rockstars love their mommies!

The new year

To cap off the end of last year, Scarlette got to come home Dec. 19. The hospital called and told us the good news and John immediately was rushing me out the door. We were both very excited!! Then we had a wonderful Christmas spent with family and friends. We spent Christmas eve in Big Bear with John's family and Christmas with mine. Scarlette finally got to meet her new cousin, Cash.


As you can see, he's quite a bit bigger than Scarlette. Our New Year's eve wasn't super eventful. We went to bed before 12 and set our alarms to wake up for the countdown. As my dad said, we're getting old fast. But we have lots to look forward to this year. On Monday (the 8th) Scarlette will be 1 month old! She is growing fast. She had an Dr. appointment yesterday and she weighs 6 pounds 14 ounces. Almost 7 pounds! The Dr. said her jaundice is behind us so that is a big relief. John is starting work at FES and I am gonna be working from home. I'm having lots of fun being a mom.(although I do miss sleeping through the night) Scarlette is changing fast. My mom thinks she's changed a ton just in the past week. I agree. I can tell she's getting older in looks and how she acts. I'm anxious for her to get old enough to play with us, but then I don't want her to grow up. I want her like this forever!

I made her hat! :)

We look forward to this new year and what its going to bring us. I haven't yet made my new years resolutions.. maybe not to procrastinate should be on there. :)but I will make them! I hope everyone's new years have started off well and will continue as such!
