hris went to Guam this week for work and he was able to bring Dan along to help out. I hope they get their work done and have time to dive and play!
Meanwhile, Grandma jumped on a plane and came over to help me out. Darla and Dexter LOVE Grandma.
(My mom did not like her picture in her night gown so I removed it)
The babies hung out with me in bed. It was so fun...we just missed Daddy though.
Notice Dexter's hair cut? No more old man hair.
I love Dexter's face here.
Darla was having fun smashing Dex in the face. Sometimes she acts like he does not exist.
We took the babes to Alligator pond and they loved the water. It was windy and cold but they were so relaxed in the little waves.
Dont worry...I put sunblock where the sun dont usually shine!
They are so cute!
Darla LOVES Jesus.
Who is taller?
Who is happier?
Darla can roll! Well, they both can but I only have Darla on video.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO READ THIS POST IN 10 SECONDS OR YOU GET YOUR MONEY BACK!!!
Here is the highlights of the past month...
Dexter sun bathed...
...and rode a Hippo...
Darla got her hair did...
...and was chillin' like a vilian...
Bath time is fun...
Wet puppy!
We attended my friend Kristina and Clark's wedding in Maui...
The babies turned 3 months old!!
Dexter rode a camel...
We went to California and visited The Beutlers, The Baltzers, The Montgomery's, ... I think those pics are on the laptop?
Then the babies met aunt Josie and cousin Ashley,
BFF's!!
Grandma Thompson loves the babies,
We stayed at Justin and Natalie Dickson's house and Devin and Shira came over as well. The babies got to meet Kyla and Colton...
Dexter was so excited to get a kiss from the beautiful Callie! 
We went to 2 weddings on the same night. Agata and Bill's ceremony was on the beach in San Pedro (no photo yet) and then Kristina and Clark had their reception at Dukes in Malibu...
The babies met auntie Brianna at her birthday BBQ (she looks like my sister but she is really another good friend that I have known from High school). My friends Natalie and Marc were there as well (I suck at taking pictures)
Dexter hung out with his best friend cousin Julian...
Julian didn't even notice Dexter was in the room...
We went to DISNEYLAND with aunt Joanna, Dexter, Sydney, Darla ...
...aunt Mayra and Julian.
Sydney loved helping her cousin's!
No doubt about it...
They have THOMPSON gene's!!
We all fit in one Tea Cup!!
Julian thought that pulling the sword from the stone was over rated and decided to eat it...
We all rode the Merry Go Round...
What a trip! We also saw grandpa Thompson, auntie Monica, all of Chris's family but I think those pictures are on a different hard drive?
We were so pooped after all the travels, we might wait a WHOLE month before we take another trip. Why even unpack?

Maternity Pics by Mark Lee of Holladay Photo
I seriously loved being pregnant! Maybe not the first couple of months when I could not eat food (my first love in life), but later when I had the coolest oven in front of me that cooked Darla and Dexter to perfection.
Mark Lee took these pics and they make me so happy (I borrowed then from Holladayphoto.com in the blog section). I have never liked a picture of myself. Maybe it is because I was made fun of all my whole life for having buck teeth (seriously...kids are cruel) or maybe because my eyes shut half way in every picture I ever take. Kids in Jr. high would ask me if I was high in my pictures and I seriously didnt know what that meant.
I dont know if Mark knew that I was going to dress like a wierdo to take these pictures but I dont know how else to dress? This day was so fun. Thanks for taking the coolest pictures ever Mark!!
NO...that was not a beluga whale in the water silly...that was me!

4th of July Beach Day With the Nuggets
Chris (yes I am posting this cuz you all know Jackie never gets to it) was watching the nuggets while Mom went to work and after bath time he tried to find good outfits to look all pretty and cute for when Mom gets home...
...Dex doesn't like wearing his sisters clothes!It was an honest mistake, the green stripes looked unisex, but the gathered neck and sleeves screamed, "I'm a sissy!"
The yellow cart works great for transporting the nuggets across the sand, a bit more development and I think we'll have a nice covered wagon for the nuggets to protect them from the sun.
Dad stayed on the beach at Castles and showed the nuggets that Mom's still got it.
When Mom came back, we took the nuggets in the ocean for the first time. Surprisingly they actually seemed to like it. Not really even any fussing, not even when they got dunked in a wave. I think they liked being all toasty warm afterward though.
They were so tired after this little day at the beach they seemed like they were going to sleep through the night. After Mom left for work, Dad, fearing their childish stench, woke them up for a quick bath and light meal before hitting a picnic with the friends and heading over to watch the Turtle Bay fireworks.
Darla liked the fireworks and watched the entire time, Dex just slept.
But he was dressed pretty festive too.
