Kendall's Show Week

It was the last week of gymnastics, so Kendall had SHOW WEEK - where we can sit inside and watch their routines and take pictures/videos.  It was fun!  It's amazing to see how much she has progressed through these two short years.
Here's the intro they did:


Kendall's tumbling routine (I was a little slow at switching between pics and videos!  Bad Mommy!):



Here's her back handspring:



Beam Routine (she's a butterfly, coming out of a cocoon):



Bars (she's getting really strong on these!):



Here's the Finale, and then they get their medals!



Here are a few pics from the event:

Stay tuned for pictures of Talia's class - she starts on Monday!! ;)

Random Cuteness from our trip

Here are some other fun pics and videos from our trip, in no particular order:

Feliz Navidad!

Haha, random funny things mothers do to their kids (she only stayed in long enough for the pic):

One store we walked by had a bunch of baby bunnies!!  They were really cute, FOR LOOKING AT.

Pige liked the croc head!

Check out the drawing Kendall did!  I was impressed!  In case this doesn't show up well, it says "Doodle more dolphins"

Did I mention how GREAT the girls slept??

If you look really closely at his leg you can see Kendall:

Every morning the low tide would expose a lot of beach.  This is the view back to the condo from the outer edge of the low tide.  It's a looonnnnngggg way, compared to where the shore normally is!  It was fun for exploring!

WOAH!  Pige has a huge foot!! ;)

Here is the view from the beach out to the shoreline:

Playing on the beach:

Sunset on our last night.  :(

Riemen girls in our PJs:

Christmas at the Beach

Well, Todd talked me into getting some presents for the girls and having Santa come to the beach.  I just wasn't into it this year, but I'm glad he changed my mind.  It was fun!  Both girls were really excited.  Of course, I was less than excited because our camera decided to break sometime between Xmas Eve and Xmas Day.  I think Santa did it.  Good thing the iPhone takes decent pics and slightly-decent videos.

I have some funny videos of the girls playing too:













We hit the beach after presents, since none of us had ever been to the beach on Christmas Day.  It was weird but good.  I needed the distraction, that's for sure!

Pige liked her beach chair for eating snacks!

I could handle this kind of "snowman"!

Waaaaaaaaait for meeeeeeeeee!

Do you think I should go out there?!?

Sand monkeys!

Pige couldn't figure out what Kendall was doing (she was pouting about something).  It was really funny watching her try to cheer her sister up.  :)

What's wrong with her, Mommy?

What's wrong with you, sister?
