or are they ever normal?!? lol
It was very nice having company for the last week or so. We are so used to being just the 4 of us that it was good to have our family come and visit and be able to show them things and share a bit of our crazy lifestyle with them. I think everyone that visits us is amazed at how much Rick is at work and that he really isn't home!!
Rick's mom and dad made it home late last night. A much better drive in the day over the snowy pass then at night when they came here. I think they got ahead of the storm that brought rain our way and for sure snow the colder and higher up you went.
Speaking of weather...it has been flippin COLD COLD COLD here! It rains all the time and the sun barely comes out! It snowed at 1000 feet last week. That's insane!! I know that my mom and family in Montana have been getting tons and tons of snow and below zero temps all the time....so I can't complain a lot...but MAN it is soooo cold here!! lol
The girls are getting ready for Santa and Christmas. Everyday we move the counter down a day. They can't wait!! Me...I have oh so much to wrap! I'm going to be wrapping for days!!! I got a lot wrapped yesterday when Rick took the girls to the rink with him. I need another day like that! lol
All of our holiday parties are finished. We enjoy the so much. It is very nice for people to open up their homes to everyone that comes. I am totally exhausted and just want to chill and have a PJ day and watch TV! lol That's not going to happen until after Christmas I think!
Today we are making cookies. I love to bake and I haven't done a lot of it with our company so we are getting our bake on today!!
I'll post pictures later when I have a few minutes....I wanted to update everyone and felt I neglected my poor blog! lol Oh and our photographer that took our Christmas picture, put Addison's picture on his website.
Okay I gotta run....cookies are calling my name!! Until next time........

Two Days In A Row!!!
WWWOOOOOOHHHOOOOOO!!!!! LOL
I am going to keep this quick because I am so very tired tonight! We had a fun filled day of baking Christmas cookies and just cleaning the house up. I seem to clean and the girls make a bigger mess...hence the reason I don't normal clean! lol
Good news today....Rick's sister is coming on Saturday for almost a week!!!! YAY!! I can't wait to see her! Not to mention I am in desperate need of a haircut and color! lol She is my BFF and I miss her oh soooo much!! Hopefully Rick's parent's will be able to join us and it will be like a family reunion...even if it is only for a few days. I'm so super excited I could pee!!!
We went and picked up pictures from our photographer that took our Christmas card pictures. I'm not going to show the ones we are using for our card until after everyone gets them. I ordered the cards tonight and can go and get them tomorrow and then out in the mail hopefully on Friday. Here are two pictures that I just love to death. The girls are so beautiful that I can't believe they are ours! lol Ashleigh smiled so good and Addison was hamming it up as usual. I'm hoping the next time we take pictures, Ashleigh will be more relaxed and we can get one of her like we did Addison. Our photographer loves the picture and wants to shoot the girls again at this old winery that is just amazing! I can't wait!!
I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do!

It Has Been So Long.....
That I forgot what I posted last about!!!
What the hell is wrong with me?!?!?!??!!! lol
I keep saying I am going to spend more time blogging...but I swear it's this time of year that is crazy!!! Let me recap a few of the things we have been doing lately.
Of course there are Sharks games. The last one we lost in overtime....better than a regulation loss but still a loss. Mom had a severe low blood sugar that night...not a good thing for those of you that don't know what it is. She's blaming it on the Sharks losing! lol Nothing funny about it...she's okay now and doing well.
We had the Sharks annual holiday party on Sunday. We skated...and by we I mean the whole Bronny Bunch got on skates!!! I'm serious when I say that I think it took me longer to lace them up then I skated!!! It was quite the sight! Ashleigh is a better skater than I am!!! Addison did very well too...for about as long as I was on the ice! She got very nervous with the fast skaters and pucks flying everywhere. Rick is a good skater and skated with Ashleigh for a bit. She skated and skated and skated!
They fed us lunch/dinner which was amazing as always. Then Santa came out and each kid got a gift. Now we were in a huge hurry because we had to get our family picture taken for our Christmas card (outside before it got dark) so we were hoping the girls would be called first to get their gifts....not so much! Addison was called pretty quick and got her gift. Seriously it was bigger than she was!! Everyone got a laugh out of her trying to carry it back to Rick and I. Ashleigh waited to patiently for her gift. I think she was one of the last ones. She didn't go and look at the gifts, just sat there and waited. Addison got a Little People Royal Castle and Ashleigh got a Dora Bowling Set. Addison's gift I already bought to give to her! lol I just returned it and got something else. The girls had such a fun time. We are very thankful to be part of an organization like this one.
The GM's wife came up to us and told us how polite and well behaved the girls were during games. Boy do they have her fooled! lol On a more serious note, it made me feel really good that she would say that. They are such nice people and to get a compliment like that from them, it meant alot! We try very hard to teach the girls good habits and sometimes wonder if the hard work shows...well it does.
Okay then after a quick clothes change, off to get our picture taken. This guy that Rick met at the rink is AMAZING with his camera!!! Ashleigh had a forced smile for our family picture, but when she was playing and he was just shooting.....he was able to really capture her true personality. He took a picture of Addison that belongs in a magazine! It is fantastic! I think we are going to blow it up and print one for our wall. Addison is just so happy to be photographed, like her Dad and Aunt! and Ashleigh is a little more timid...like me. I usually have the cheesy smile going on. We are just waiting to get everything back so the Christmas cards can be made and sent out. I don't send out too many...probably around 40 with everyone on the team and whatnot. That's way more than I used to send. 20 would cover it for us! Now everyone on the team sends us one so I send on back.
So after another quick change of clothes we decided to wrap up a fabulous day with a movie. We love taking the girls to the movies. They just love them. Ashleigh is a total popcorn hog!! We usually get a big bag to share....well from now on she gets her own little kids pack because she chows it all down! lol Anyway we went and saw Bolt. A GREAT GREAT movie! Definitely one will buy when it comes out. If you have kids, love animals, and haven't seen it.....go!
Then last night we had the Training staff dinner at the trainer's house. It, like all the dinners we go to, was awesome!! The girls went to KidsPark, the drop in daycare. They had a blast. Addison peed her pants!! Every time she wears these certain pants, she pees....never fails!! lol They called me and asked if it was okay the had a pair of underwear to put on her and a long shirt and no pants. I forgot to bring her extra just in case clothes. I told them that was fine. We pick them up and she lifts up her shirt and says..."Look Mommy...SPIDERMAN panties!!!" I guess the only underwear they had were boy underwear. She just thought it was the greatest thing to be in boy "panties" as she calls them!
So as you can see we have been busy...not to mention trying to get everything ready for shipping and finishing up my shopping. I can't wait to post about Rick taking the girls to the mall by himself tonight!!! Until then.....
