Ice Cream

Look what we caught in the net!

Tita Alma, Ashley, Brittany, Kacia, and Anakai.

Breakneck Ridge

Up we go!


Anakai waits for Kacia and papa.


Follow the circles.


Half way up.


Now we can catch a glimpse of the castle on an island.




The twinkies made it to the top where there's a flag. Luckily it was my camera (and not us!) who ran out of batteries, so we don't have any pics of reaching the top of Breakneck Ridge. Can't wait for the next climb.

Birth Day Poem

Ode To Twin Mamahood

Four years ago today
I split myself in three.
I entered tandem motherhood
And wished there was more of me.

First year was a sprint
Second was a chore
Third year was a marathon
What can happen at four?

Holding hands, singing songs,
Double potty training
Pink umbrellas, gymnastics class,
Mud puddles when its raining.

But that's not all I have to say
About the last four years,
I didn't miss their first words or steps
Or kissing away sad tears.

Catching bubbles in the air
Purple mulberry stained feet
Swing in the hammock counting fireflies
'Til my twinkies fall asleep.

Girls Girls Girls

Six girls on the rocks, please.


Just us girls - mom, her three daughters, and four grand-daughters.

Sheila, Ashley, Brittany, Xenia, Anakai, Beth, Darlene, and Kacia.
