things always get ironed out in the end.
It seems as they get older, the more they fight and argue with each other. It can be over the smallest things, but they make the biggest deal out of everything. For example, we will be driving somewhere and Kristin looks outside Kaylas window. Kayla will then proceed to yell at Kristin, "THAT'S MY WINDOW. LOOK OUT YOUR OWN WINDOW! DAD!!!! KRISTIN IS LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW!!" Then a few minutes later I hear Kristin crying because Kayla has pinched, punched, kicked, or a combination of all three things to her. Then I will hear Kayla crying a few minutes later because Kristin is blocking her view of the opposite window. It's a never ending cycle.
will you dye your hair?"
This was a question posed by Kristin a few days back. Her reasoning was that all Grandmas had grey or white hair so Selina would also have to dye her hair to become a Grandma. Where do they come up with this stuff?

This is Zoey:
I stayed with my good friend Mieng in LA this past Saturday to shoot a wedding with him. He has this adorable puppy which my kids would absolutely love to hug and squeeze all day and night. Heck, even I would love to. I promised Kristin when she was 2 years old that we could get a kitten when she turned 10. I can't believe that to this day, she STILL remembers, and brings it up every once in a while.
Today we took the kids to watch the Disney/Pixar movie "UP". This is the first movie Kayla has watched in a movie theater, but Kristins second. It's been 3 years since I've watched a movie at the theater (which was also another Pixar movie, "Cars"). Surprisingly both of them sat through the whole thing. The movie was pretty good, but I think Selina and I enjoyed the movie more than the kids did.
.....). The night before, Selina told her that she could put on makeup and curl her hair for the photos. So of course, this morning she wakes up bright and early, around 7 am eager to get her makeup done. 
I'm constantly blown away at how the two K's have grown so much. I seem to make a post like this every six months or so, but it really is amazing to see how children grow and progress. I can't believe that Kristin has almost finished a school year, and that she'll be starting 1st grade this year. Kayla will also be turning 3 this year. Can you believe that this is Kristin just 2 years ago, about a month before she turned 3?
more? This was a question I was asked when I was a child. I still remember being asked that question, and I would always respond with who ever was asking the question. If it was mom, I would say I loved my mom more. If it was my dad, I would say my dad more.
When Kristin was younger, I would ask the same thing, and she would do the same thing. Now Kayla, she's a clever one. Her response:
"Bofe. I love my Mommy AND my Daddy", while glancing at both of us with dodging eyes.
otherwise known as Las Trampas Regional Wilderness Park. I found this park while driving around about a month ago, and took the kiddos for a short hike. Kayla ended up peeing in her pants and we had to end our short hike. Ever since that time, they've been asking to go back to 'the trail'. As much as I love the wilderness, I can't help but worry about things like ticks, so here I am scratching and freaking out every time I feel a slight itch, hours after returning home. 
I really don't like cleaning our house. At our old house it took about an hour and a half or so to pretty much vacuum, clean the hardwood floors, and dust. Now it's an event that usually takes 3 times as long, and the house still 'feels' dirty...ugh.

I ran across this video on youtube and just had to share it. I wonder how long it took to pull something like this off.
We took the kids to the Jelly Belly factory this past weekend. It was pretty interesting to see all the manufacturing that goes behind the making of these little candies. Unfortunately we didn't get to actually see them being made, but we did get a free tour of the factory and a bag of Jelly Bellies at the end of the tour.
