Our little athletes

  Thursday marked the last day of soccer for this season. The boys have enjoyed playing with the British Football Academy and will start again in September.

They have both learned so much and have become great competitors.

I have enjoyed watching them progress and build up their soccer skills. I can't believe how much they have learned!

We are looking forward to more soccer in the fall :)

Smile:)

It's rare that we have a slow and relaxing morning, so today we took advantage of it. 

I tried to get the boys to sit together for some pictures, but all the twins want to do is run!

Luckily, these pictures capture our lives right now and show how active we all are :)

Sharielle's visit to Tokyo

This is the day Shar arrived. Of course she had prizes in her suitcase from Grandpa and Mimi!

Sharielle's boyfriend is on a mission right now in Cali. He is a soccer player so of course we had to check out some soccer stores!

Shar taught Weston how to cross his eyes :)

Goodbyes SUCK!!!

My sister Sharielle is leaving on a mission in 1 week. I am so thankful that we got to fly her out here to spend some time with us!

We had a busy, but very fun week!

The boys had modeling jobs almost everyday that she was here (6 jobs in 7 days and 2 auditions!). That was actually really fun because we got to see so many different parts of Tokyo. And Shar got to see what me and the boys do with their modeling! I am so glad she was there to visit and give me some extra company.

We also went to some shrine's and temple's, went shopping and out to eat. And of course our nights were spent making brownies, watching movies, doing photo shoots of our own and making videos (the nutmeg challenge and cinnamon challenge hahaha!!).

The boys had such a fun week with Aunt Sharielle:) They both asked her to live with us forever!

Can't wait to see her in 18 months!

Haircuts for the twins

The morning of the haircut

Cute curls (Cooper)

Nixon's curls

Cooper's bed head

I have loved watching the twins' hair grow and grow and grow. They both had big, silky blond curls at the napes of their necks that were so cute!

When Nixon auditioned for his last modeling job, his hair was long. When he got the job, I was afraid to cut his hair too much, because the clients had seen him with long hair.

The day after the job finished, I took him to the salon and let Katsumi work her magic.

We LOVE Katsumi. She is amazing at what she does.

Cooper went first and did a great job. Ashton and Weston were great entertainers the whole time. Ashton also documented the whole adventure with my camera. He got some fun shots :)

I was surprised when we were done in 30 minutes with both babies. 

Nixon has tried to feel for his long hair a few times, but I think he is starting to get used to his new haircut!
