Take Your Child to Work Day---our first time!

Thursday was take your child to work day and I decided to take the girls this year!  Yay!  It was a lot of fun and they did great!!  We ended up getting to school right before second period (I have planning 1st period...don't worry Dad...I wasn't slacking too much!).  The girls were a little shy at first, but after they used the potty a couple times and got a snack, they were ready to go!  Thankfully, the rain held out, so we were able to stay outside for most of the day.  We had a TON of students to "help" us out all day (translation=excuse to get out of their normal classes all day and play with babies) but most of all, my co-workers Ashley and Tricia really helped the girls to feel comfortable!  Love those girls :)
Heidi graciously came and picked up the girls around 12:00 so they could get home and nap and after about 30 seconds of tears when they had to leave, they calmed down and then quickly fell asleep in the car on the way home!  Overall, a very fun day!  Here are just a few pics of the "kids" at school!

All the PE kids.  5 teachers...
Three sets of identical twins, one set of girls that could pass for twins, and two super cute boys!  Quite a group.



Waiting patiently for the rest of the crew to be round up



Got a few more to join the picture

Got 'em all in...now to just get them all to look at the camera at once!

Pretty close!

Love how Isabella is eagerly awaiting her goodbye kiss

A few of the many students who "helped out" with the girls

Last week the girls had their 2.5 year check-up!  Here are their stats...

Leah Grace:
Height:  37.75 inches (90th percentile)
Weight: 31 lbs. 12.8oz (75th percentile)
Head circumference:  49.3 cm (75th percentile)

Isabella:
Height: 36.25 inches (50-75th percentile)
Weight:  30lbs 6.4 oz (50-75th percentile)
Head:  49.3 (75th percentile)

Not much has changed from last time.  Apparently, you can get a pretty good idea of how tall they will be by taking their 2 year old height and doubling it, so the doctor went back and looked at our 2 year stats and said she thinks the girls will be around 5'10.  Not much surprise there!  Everything else seemed pretty good!  She said to just keep on doing what we are doing!! 

Dog

Cesar got this ridiculous crazy unrealistic, insane silly idea that we should get a German Shepard.  So, he has taken the girls to a breeder TWICE.  He dragged me along the second time thinking the cute little puppies would win me over.  And...I do think they are cute...very cute...BUT...we are SO not getting one.  That's right...we are SO not getting one!  I have enough to clean up after as it is :)  Anyway...here are the pics from our trip!  The girls (and Daddy) had a blast!!

The puppy!

OK, so I got sucked in for a few minutes!

Hair

Friday I asked Heidi to "put the girls' hair up" before she left because we were going to a softball game right when I got home and I didn't want their hair sticking to their snotty faces when the wind blew (eww...but it happens all the time when they have runny noses).  This is the result!  I told Heidi that even if she was the worst nanny in the world (which of course she is the opposite of), we would keep her around simply because she makes the girls look so stinkin' cute (and then takes really cute pictures of it!)!! 

Leftovers

When I downloaded pics off of my phone from vacation, I realized I had a ton or random old pictures that I had never downloaded on there too.  So, here are some random pics from the last month or so that I forgot to download and post...

A beautiful day on the benches outside of church

Hanging out at Sports Authority after church another day

they will find a "slide" anywhere!

The Taylor in her...she loves her pretzels!

Insisting on sitting "in" the bushes at the playground

And walking through them too...

Cesar hung this up for the boot camp he is running at our house and the girls L-O-V-E it!!

Monkey Daddy

The Easter Bunny comes to Grandmas

The Easter bunny came a day early this year (and he came to Grandmas)!  Saturday we went over to Mom's for brunch and an egg hunt.  The kids all had a blast (and were very excited to reconnect with their cousins).  Mac was in town, so Nana came over as well.  I didn't get too many pics of anything but the egg hunt, but it was wonderful morning of familiy, fun, and great weather!!

Woo-Hoo...I found one!

Leah, taking a break to see just what was inside of those eggs!
