Aunt Marsha and Uncle Mark

This weekend we celebrated Mimi's 60th birthday! Aunt Marsha and Uncle Mark flew in from Iowa for a special birthday surprise. They came by our house to say hello on Sunday and we were able to snap a few photos of them with the twins.

Being silly with Mimi:

JUMP!

Phoenix Getaway

Our last minute trip to Phoenix was so much fun! We stayed from Wednesday until Sunday and were able to spend time with our Auntie Jaime and Todd. We were so spoiled the whole week! Below are some pictures of our travels. We sampled Mojos yogurt, went to the park with some friends, visited Brookie and her new baby girl Payton, watched the ducks in the pond, ate at Stingray Sushi with Todd (Izzie tasted wasabi for the first time and didn't seem to mind!), got a VIP tour of the zoo with Auntie Jaime, fed the giraffes, went to dinner on the canal and hung out with Beta! Thank you Auntie and Todd for making our trip so special~ we love you!

Cookies

We had a very good time baking cookies with our friends! Our chef outfits made the whole experience even better!

Brookie

This weekend we briefly visited Phoenix and stayed with Auntie Jaime. One of my best girlfriends from college came by for a visit (she's 31 weeks pregnant with a baby girl!) The twins had a great time playing with her and we got a couple adorable pictures of her belly!

Art!

ART CLASS!!!

Jude and Izzie had so much fun at art yesterday. They are so into drawing and painting and absolutely loved being big kids. We went with our friends Ethan, Arno and Riley and everybody made their own beautiful masterpiece! And yes, we did taste a little bit of everything!

Painting with brother.

"Good Job Izzie & Jude!"

Our buddy Ethan showed us the ropes!

Thank you Mimi & Papa

Izzie and Jude got a new activity table for Christmas from Mimi & Papa. We set it up last night in their playroom and let them go to town this morning. They are very into drawing these days and they had so much fun. Izzie stored her crayons in the little drawer and Jude drew all over the entire paper! It was so cute to watch :)
