We went out to a ranch in the middle of no where and watch Soraya (brad's girlfriend) get baptized. It was an amazing day all around. The weather was beautiful, the Holy Spirit was present, and it was amazing to see so many people giving their lives to Christ! I was honored to share this day not only with my wonderful family, but with Soraya and Kathy as they enter a new chapter in their lives.
The girls as you can see where focused on how many rocks they could throw in the river. They would have stayed out there forever!

Throwing Rocks
Kallison
This is the Fiesta Parade that the girls Mothers Day Out Program puts on every year. The older kids get to make floats and pull them as they walk around the church and the little ones 2 and under have to hang out in the cribs and the teachers push them around in the parade line. it is so cute. this is the girls second time to do it.
Flooded Street
Some pipes busted and they had to open the fire hydrant to relieve some pressure on the pipes and our street was flooded. This is Aida being fascinated by all the water flowing through the street!
Big Girl Beds
Its been a while since we blogged about what has been going on in our world.
This is the girls in their new big girl beds. They spend a lot of the time sleeping on the floor instead of the beds. But what ever makes them happy really and keeps them sleeping through the night is OK with me.

The Golden Girls
We went to visit Brian's grandmother a few weeks ago. She is beyond an amazing woman and she adores the girls. We wanted to give her a whole day to her self with the girls. Knowing that her house was far from baby proof, we made the drive and spent the day with her. She made us a delicious lunch and we played outside in the grassy area. She invited all her coffee friends to come and see the girls and have lunch with us. Brian and I were eating at the dining room table and they were at the breakfast table. When we walked in there to put our dishes away, this is what we found. Kallison sitting so calmly in the chair at the table, just enjoying the conversation. and by the look on their faces, they are enjoying her just as much.
This picture is priceless and absolutely made the trip !

WOW! I cant believe it has been since December that we have blogged about anything. That should give you a hint that the little ladies are keeping us rather busy. They are getting sooo big. They dont walk anymore... they run, in opposite directions and they run fast. They are talking a little, mostly words that only brian and i can understand. Sign language is their main form of communicating with us. They can do about 12 signs each and we learn more every week. They are back to mothers day out and love going. The love to be outside and love playing on their new playground and in the pool. They love the pool with or with out water.
That catches you on about all the stuff going on around our house.
Loves!

Christmas Reflections
Kallison and Aida, this was a great Christmas for you that you got to enjoy more than just the wrapping paper :). You girls are loved by so many people and they gave you some great gifts like a kitchen, table set and of course the wagon which you do not want to get out of. I'm pretty sure that if you could sleep in it you would. Uncle Brad did good. So did the grandparents with the kitchen set, lots of food and a new table. Of course you girls just want to climb the kitchen like it's a rock wall and the table and chairs you keep moving around to use to get to higher locations in the house LOL. Somewhere you have mountain goat blood in you, thats all i can figure on that one. I love your adventurous spirit, don't ever lose that, I think that came from Granpa Butch.
He was an adventurous soul to say the least, had a passion for life and loved his family dearly. He will be missed. Mom tells you stories every time you go play on the play set he bought for you, stories about horses, unicycles, flying upside down and all the adventures he had. I wish you girls could have got to know him in more than just stories.
With all of the hustle and bustle of Christmas we must always remember what it is about, not family, food, gifts, decorations, etc, but the birth of our Savior. He came to save our souls even though we do not deserve it and that is cause for celebration. I hope we do a good job instilling that in you. Life is hard enough with Christ, it is impossible without Him.
The spirit of giving is alive and well in the Cordeau house, we gave a lot this year and were blessed with a lot as well, new tile, paint, etc for the house and many gifts (including a new drill, whoo hoo). The best thing about Christmas gifts are giving to those in need. We gave your old table to a place called Seton Home (http://www.setonhomesa.org/) which helps homeless teens with children or who are pregnant. Your mom and i know how hard it is to raise kids in a beautiful house with two parents, I can not imagine what it must be like for them. I feel that God is calling us to do more for this organization, and we are ready to step up to the plate.
Well it is new year's eve and we are getting the house cleaned for our party complete with champagne flavored cake bites :) so I am going to get to work on the house.
Love you babies!!

Thanksgiving 2009
With 1600 miles under our belts just a day shy of a week, we have made it back home. We set out on our adventure last monday morning (nov 23) after we got word that granpa went to visit heaven. We hopped in the car and drove to Nana's house, then drove to see granpa, then drove back to nana's, then drove to see cousins and other family, then home. we enjoyed thanksgiving at Nana's house. She made some super yummy turkey, ham, green bean casserole, corn bread dressing, all kinds of stuff, and this year we actually got to eat it. We had so much fun playing with cousins, uncles, aunts and all the new doggies we could find. Granpa would not have wanted it any other way. We will miss him, but cant wait to see him again!!
Loves !
