2 weeks with Maria!


We decided to take a trip to Maryland and visit family and show Maria D.C. It was a very fast trip but it was fun. We just wished we could of visited more people, maybe next time we can stay longer. Above is Maria with a HUGE bear at Leigh Ann's house. (we stayed with Leigh Ann, Jeremy, Mason, and Jeremy's grandfather. We had a great time)


We visited my friend Tracy and here is her daughter Sydney playing with Emma and Sophia. We miss them so much.




The refection pool was empty. Not sure why, maybe they are cleaning it. It looked really ugly LOL. And smelled bad!



Above: Maria at the World War II Monument.

Below: Shaun and Aunt Lisa. Thank you so much Lisa for going with us, we had a blast.



Sophia was growling or singing! It was so funny.


In the car on the way to MD.





Sophia jumping in the bouncy house at the Roller Den. We went roller skating one night.


Maria does not like cats so we had to get a picture when Tigger tried to sit with her. LOL

We have been friends with Maria since the summer of 1996. I should find a picture of the 3 of us back then. LOL


My cousin Jill, Maria, Lindsay, Emma
Sophia, and Leigha


We had so much fun with Maria. We will miss her very much! Sophia was willing to give up her bed forever if Maria would stay with us. We love you Maria and hope to see you soon. =0)

Fun with Maria!

My friend Maria is visiting from Madrid, Spain! She is staying with us for 2 weeks. This is her 4th visit. She visited the summer before my 11th grade year, the summer before my 12th grade year, and when Emma was 4 weeks old. So we have not seen her in 9 1/2 years!!! We have stayed in touch through email and facebook. We are having a lot of fun.

The girls wanted to have a pillow fight.........



Maria brought everyone presents!!!


Playing the Wii.........

Maria wore out Sophia. That does not happen very often.........


Maria helping the girls make bracelets and necklace with a bead kit
she bought for them. They had so much fun.

Just relaxing.......

Leigha making a funny face at Maria.



Maria LOVES cookies. So we made her a BIG bowl of them and we have been eating them everyday! LOL


Shaun helping Maria with her resume.

Out to lunch!!!!





Dress up time.....

Emma and Shaun working on Emma's school project.


We have been very busy. Playing with the girls, Emma had a doctors appointment, we needed stuff at Walmart. Maria is amazed at how busy we are with the girls and we really don't get anything done. LOL It is very nice having 2 extra eyes and hands helping me watch them.
