Quote of the Day - " If we just start with the idea that this is a hard world, it makes each good moment make life seem easy."

4 Days to Bliss!

Dorians Come To Mesquite!

Yep, we got them here! Maybe it was the fact that they were all out of school and driving their mommy crazy but whatever it took, I was gratefull to have them! They came Thursday, and we tried to do it all.... Movies, Bowling, Dye Easter Eggs, Hunt Easter Eggs, Easter Dinner, and of course 4 Wheeling!! It was hard to have them leave (well kinda, since Kate and Eden pretty much fought 1/2 the time!) and we hope they come back again soon. Did I mention we had 6 kittens just before they came! What a highlight!

More pictures from the last post, I am still learning how to do this..... I do remember now that Shari told me to put the last one in first, arg - just keep up with me here!!!

Triathalon Fun!

Today was a good day! Talia and Tiff got up bright and early and headed to St. George for Talia's first Triathalon & Tiff's second. Last year Tiff finished in 45 min and wanted to beat her time from last year this year. Talia did it because her mom wanted her to. We both ended up with friends there!! Tiffs friend Keri came and brought her daughter Kallie. (Kallie and Talia are in the same class at school) The little girls helped the big girls and the big moms helped the little girls and overall we really had fun! Tiff won, Talia finished. Then Kallie won and Keri won her age group. Winning is fun, but doing something you have never done before and completing it is even funner! I love you Talia!! Thank you for doing so good.

After the swim, she was thinking she might die, during the bike she was tired, but after the run and the race was finished, she was sure she was going to die. She didnt. She is fine now and looking back realized it was KINDA fun.

Talia and Kate's Week at the Dorian's!

A few weeks ago Keven and I had the opportunity to take a trip to Hawaii! We had so much fun and it was very comforting to know that Talia and Kate were safe and happy at my sister Shari's house. They had a very busy week!

~Day 1~

Kate and Eden in the stroller all ready to head to the park!

Hannah, Talia and Sariah being silly

Just a little bit of static electricity in that slide! Whoa check out those ponytails!

Kate and Eden finished the day watching a movie

Kate crashed on the couch!

~Day 2~

Aunt Shari took the girls to the 'cookie' store (grocery store) and then they had a great time playing outside in her backyard.

Looks like they both want that ball!

Digging in the dirt was a favorite activity!




Talia loved playing with the ball too!





These balloons kept these girls busy for hours! They just kept trying to blow them up over and over again and thought it was hilarious when the air would come out by itself.





Every night Kate and Eden took a bubble bath together with the Barbies!
