All this time we thought that Emma looked just like me and NOTHING like Aaron. He would always worry that if he ever had to convince someone that she was his he would be in trouble...that is until now! He wants everyone to know that she IS indeed his and this is his proof.

sleep deprived

Lately I have been feeling so sleep deprived! I have this evil cough that only comes at night when I want to sleep. I otherwise don't feel sick or have a sore throat, just an annoying cough:) And to make it even more fun Jonas decided to go on a sleep strike! He has been getting up so much lately. A lot of the reason is he is moving so much in his sleep and hates it when we wedges himself into a corner or gets stuck on his belly and then I have to come rescue him. Oh well..I guess this shall pass soon and we can move on to the next challenge. I am just blaming my lack of sleep for how crazy I have been lately!! For those that have been around me lately know what I am talking about:)
and just to make me feel better I am posting recent pictures of the rest of my family snoozing!

Disneyland!!!!






Part of our Christmas consisted of going to Disneyland for 2 days. Even though the first day was rainy we loved it just the same. The girls loved seeing all the characters, especially the princesses. They are still asking to see the princess castle. It was fun to take them on all the rides. They however did not like the Bugs Life 3D show. Emma left saying "the spider pinched my bum." The Pirates of the Caribbean was their favorite, once they knew what to expect. The first time we went through, Emma was scared to death of the darkness and the drop-offs. Her face was hidden the entire time. The second time around, she and Abby were both pointing out the pirates, crabs and treasure. If you were to ask Aaron his favorite I am pretty sure he would tell you the turkey legs. Jonas would probably say his favorite was the carousel. I just loved watching how excited the girls would get for things. We (mostly the girls) can't wait to go back!!

Christmas in California

This year for Christmas we went to Aaron's sister's house in Camarillo California. His entire family were all there...so you can imagine the craziness!! Just to give you an idea..there were 15 kids (7 toddlers). We still loved it!! Leslie and Ernie's house is so beautiful and we are so grateful for them having us and for the boys giving up their room:) The girls loved getting in the jacuzzi and just being with their cousins. Aaron made sure that he hit every food place that we don't have in Georgia that we miss like In N Out and Jamba Juice!! We also went to Santa Barbara which is still one of my favorite places (side note: Aaron and I spent some time there for our honeymoon. Its such a beautiful place.)






for Grandma Lisa and Papa...

Thank you for the Christmas presents. The girls absolutely LOVE their doll house. We couldn't get them to stop playing it to go to bed. Jonas is still a little small for his, but he loves to look at all the lights and watch the balls roll down...he kicks his legs like crazy wishing (im sure) that he was just a little bit bigger to play with it more...we will give him another month and he will be there I am sure!!!

Thanks again!! We love you!!

grandpa vince look-alike...

So while we were at Aaron's sisters house this Christmas I was reading her People magazine and there was this picture and Emma said "look its papa". Apparently Emma thinks Ricky Martin looks like my dad:) Sorry dad, but I thought it was funny!!
