2nd Birthday Video

Here's a short video from their 2nd birthday.

Happy Birthday, Monkeys!

I know, I know... it's been a long time since we posted.  Well, what can I say except we have two fantastic children that are so full of life, we are enjoying every minute of it!  But slacking on our blog- sorry :\  We will try to be better, promise!


The day of their birthday was a Friday- Tim took the day off to get the house party-ready and to put together the kids birthday present...(I wanted to take the day off to play with them, but I had a big meeting for work:(  We woke them up singing "Happy to You!" (their version of the happy birthday song) and got lots of sweet kisses.

don't they look SO BIG?!?  How did we get here so fast?

we surprised them by hanging this birthday banner the night before.  

They loved the "Ah-ahs" (that's what they call monkeys)

After we picked them up from the babysitters, we played outside and then showed them their birthday present from Daddy and Mommy- it's a Slide- WEEE!

they climbed right on, like pros!

After we had a dinner of their favorites- hotdogs and peas for Kennedy and fish sticks for Graham, we took them to Orange Leaf for ice cream!  They were crazy, running up to people and being very social- they must have been very excited about their birthday :)  

After ice cream we threw them into the bathtub, and then they got to open more presents.  Our house guest, MC got them some outfits he picked out himself, and he was excited for them to open his gifts!  

All in all, it was a great birthday- we can't believe they are TWO!!  We'll have to dedicate a whole new post to their birthday party- it was a zoo!

Singing Happy Birthday

Looks like they're getting ready for their birthday next month...

Twins at 21 months

Even though the annoy each other sometimes, they still love each other...



October 2011

Wow, what a busy month!  Its been a while since the last post, so we have a lot of pictures to share.

At the beginning of October, we went to visit the pumpkin patch.  We went last year and it was cold and wet.  This year was perfect weather, and the kids had a blast!

Thats a small pumpkin!

Chillin' in the cart

This is fun!

A kiss...

Do you see it grandpa?

Look at all these big pumpkins!

Pull us dad, we're getting tired.

See the horsey?!

Havin' fun with our cousin Amelia.

We even tried to play in the leaves.  After all, it IS fall!  Unfortunately, they were a little freaked out...

We don't like the leaves!

We even got them scary pjs!  They glow in the dark, which is so funny to see them running around.



Our skeleton pjs

Scary!

There was even a lot of late nights watching the Cardinals win it all!  Way to go David Freese!

Go Cardinals!  11 in '11

It was also our neice, Abigail's first birthday. You can see she loved the cake!

Face full of cake!

Halloween was even more fun!  Heather had the best idea for their costumes.  It took the kids a while to understand the whole treak-or-treating thing.  Kennedy kept trying to put the candy back into the bowls as the neighbors were trying to place the candy into their baskets.  After a while, they got the hang of it and loved it!

Jelly...

Peanut butter...

Sandwich!

I'm ready!

Me too!

Happy Halloween!

Squeaky Shoes and 18 months old

Mom bought the babies some squeaky shoes.  Do you know what quiet sounds like?  We don't remember...

Oh yeah, the babies turned 18 months old last week.  Can you believe it?  They are getting so big and are catching up on their growth charts.  They are in the 40% range for height but less than 10% on weight.  They must have their daddy's metabolism ;)   Here are some pics of them playing in their new booster seats.
